Doug, when you're in dynamic or RACE the shock absorber button illuminates, which is the button to engage "bumpy road mode" same as Ferrari you can drive it in dynamic and still have a comfortable ride. I am surprised you missed that.
I really like the way the _infotainment_ screen is integrated into the dash. Most consoles and pop-up screens make the electronics look like an afterthought, rather than part of the vehicle.
Yup alfa looked at the market and knew exactly how to return to America and Canada. They did the return very well. I see stelvios all over my city where i live in Canada
I agree I drive a BMW 1-Series F20 LCI and I hate the screen being basically a tablet stuck on top of the dashboard whilst on the 3-Series E90 gen was perfectly integrated in the dash
"The first thing you'll notice when you climb inside is that you can not find the start stop button". Then proceeds to show a GIANT RED START STOP BUTTON RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL.
What Doug means is that you won't find it in its logical place. The steering wheel is probably the stupidest place you can find for it. Steering wheel controls are supposed to be controls that you need to reach during driving without your hands leaving the steering wheel. That's the very reason for them. When did you last need to start-stop the engine during driving? Things like that should be left where they've been, and not without reason, for many decades. The fact that it's a button and not a key any more doesn't change a thing.
@@gabor7928 I quoted him exactly as he said, he said you can't find the start stop button as you get inside the car, but the button is labeled and very noticeable, right at the middle of the steering wheel, you need to be blind to not find it. Now, if that's not the usual place to put it, that's another story.
As for the bumpy ride you've experienced - in the centre of the DNA selector there's a round button with a shock absorber icon on it. Had you pressed it..... user's manual, page 124: "The driver can choose, even while driving, (only in"Dynamic”mode), between two types of suspension calibration: a more sporty or a more comfortable one. By pushing the button, the system prepares to work with a shock absorber calibration which favours driving comfort" :).
Exactly! It's bleeding obvious too. But will Doug address this serious error in his review, with a video edit, or a note in the video info? Of course not; he's but a goofball, not an reviewer, so "buyer" beware!
I have a 10 year old Alfa brera and I can say there's been no major reliability issues, just routine maintenance costs. Puts a smile on my face every time
Still driving my 2006 Alfa Romeo 147! Never had an issue, never left me stranded and never failed to start! And yes - the smile is still there when I drive it :)
Had an Alfa Mito Quadrifoglio as my first car. The Abarth of the Alfas. Had any reliability issues, excellent fuel consumption, and one of the most amazing handlings I've tried, until I drove the Giulia!
That exhaust note though... im surprised how manufacturers claim that making a turbo v6 sound good is hard , while clearly this is one of the best i’ve ever heard ..
There is a small 'Shock Absorber' button on the DNA knob you can press in Dynamic or even Race mode to make ride comfortable like in Normal mode - but as default these modes make the car stiffer so you need to press it after.
ArpeggioVibration thank you! He misses stuff like that all the time and just keeps going on negatively about something that there’s a solution to that he just didn’t see.
Doug that is not a triangle grill, it's a V grill, the V stands for Veloce, meaning FAST. The four leaf clover was put on the car by a racing driver to give himself good luck, in the 1920s the clover was on a white square, unfortunately he died racing, Alfa changed it to half a square with the green four leaf clover as dedication to the racing driver. Sorry I can't remember the drivers name.
Ugo Sivocci was the name of the driver who wanted to put that 4leaf clover on the car in the Targa Florio race,to give himself luck. After his death,in another race (in which he hadn't put the clover so...coincidence?),his number,the 17,was banned from every race car for superstition reasons...but they decided to keep the clover. Now it is a triangle because half of it is missing,cause the driver itself is missing.
@@audiquattro2003 you're right...he did NOT put the 4 leaf clover on the car the race he died. For some reason he thought it better to put on a little logo of a guy being ejected from a race car and his head coming off??? Not a great look really...they called the logo a quadrocalavasa meaning squash in four pieces.... just a bit of trivia.
In the center console the Alfa Romeo logo surrounded by the oval is used when the key fob battery dies. In the event the fob's battery dies, place the key on the oval. There's a transponder that communicates with the car to allow you to start the car.
This car does in fact borrow it’s paddles and engine from Ferrari. Ferrari is Alfa’s sister brand, which is why I think Alfa is so cool. Also note, Alfa borrows nothing from Chrysler, there is not a single FCA parts bin piece in Alfas. That is something that cannot be said about sister brand Maserati which has been ruined by FCA parts bin stuff.
It's not the Alfa Romeo group it's the Fiat group. Fiat is the big corporation that adopted Alfa,Ferrari,Lancia,Iveco trucks,Vespa,Piaggio,Gilera almost all Italian motor brands are under the Fiat group.
Chewbacca Buddy nope. Alfa has its own unique infotainment. Only thing that I see is shared with any other FCA car is the plastic cover over the microphone on the roof. Either than that, 0 FCA parts bin stuff.
I agree that this seems a bit strange, however an explanation to this could be that while the performance modes, which are mentioned to be transforming the driving characteristics of the vehicle in a complete and positive manner, are taken into consideration, the main focus may lie on the natural mode as they would assume it to be in use most of the time.
@O 99 Yeah i know the meaning of handling and i also know that it is strange to say that a suv have a good handling. But I drive a Stelvio and i can tell you that when you put in dynamic is not like a gokart but is very close to it. I think the stelvio can do that thanks also to the perfect balancing of the weight 50/50 a very rare quality for a car thesedays.
Turn signals turn off with a soft push in the other direction before it clicks. It's weird at first but not an issue after driving it a while. Press the center suspension button on the DNA selector while in dynamic mode to return the suspension to normal mode while keeping all of the engine management and transmission controls in dynamic. Surprised you noted the paddle shifters are Ferrari like, without noting that Alfa is a sister company to Ferrari and most of the designers who built it came from Ferrari, and that the V6 is straight out of the California with 2 cylinders lobbed off. Lastly the 1st year reliability is rumored to be making many new dealers go out to business, due to lack of warranty / repair work. They have so far been very reliable vehicles.
Pietro Matteo check out consumer reports reliability and resale value predictions. Alfa Romeo is still a beautiful piece of crap, and I still love them. Just wish they would hire as many good engineers as they do carrozzerias.
Pietro Matteo the Consumer Report estimation was based on 2017 models. You can also google reliability before that with European models. Unfortunately nothing has changed. Everything under the Fiat umbrella is crap reliability.
Pietro Matteo I think the cash infusion from Fiat has actually made modern Maserati’s and Alfa Romeo’s more reliable. Unfortunately a more reliable Italian car is relative. They should hire more, and better engineers. Coach design is what they excel at, but poor reliability still plagues them. It’s 2018, these issues should have long been worked out.
The engine itself is quite interesting and worthy of more discussion! It’s a 90-degree V6, which is not common, because it’s essentially a Ferrari V8 cut down to size. It’s perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of this car!
Not to mention that Ferrari F154 engine is a three consecutive years an engine of the year. This V6 is as you said F154 minus 2 cylinders which in a way makes it a very, very special motor especially the fact that you can buy it without being very rich (.... just rich will be enough).
Yes underrated,which means a fast drop in carvalue. I have to agree this is a great fast car and it sounds great......maybe a bit too loud for a family car.
This is a driver's car. Rented a diesel one in Spain. Paddle shifted all the time. Steering power gearbox is best. This SUV is not designed for infotainment but to drive aggressively.
A 2018 Doug DeMuro video at that. Now, it has a bunch of quirks and features, like the sudden black inserts and weird quacking sounds in-between. But overall, it is all you expect from it and more. And that's why it scores fairly high.
It looks very different to me. They just sort of replicated the design of the Giulia in this one, but it's absolutely Alfa Romeo from a mile distance, impossible to confuse it
Because Maserati shares designs and components from Ford, while Giulia/Stelvio are inspired and designed by Ferrari/FCA collab. That V6 is a Ferrari V8 with 2 cylinders lopped off
Clarification on that four leaf clover badge. The driver Ugo Sivocci, who was also a dear friend of Enzo Ferrari, started the whole quadrifoglio symbol for Alfa Romeo to banish bad luck as well as them always finishing second place. They won so many races afterwards. Originally it used to be in a square. When Sivocci died, Alfa Romeo took one side off the square and made it a triangle in memory of him.
G K I heard that story a long time ago on another video and I kind of figured that it should be mentioned. Especially after Doug very briefly explained a tiny history of the badge. One thing to know, Sivocci died at Monza in a car that didn’t have the Quadrifoglio badge on it.
well it wasn't quite like that... actually, it used to be a square, but in one of the mille miglias , a long time ago, an alfa romeo driver had a horrible crash. He somehow survived with minor bruises, despite the fact that the car was left like a ball of paper, all folded and useless. The cloverleaf sticker was also damaged, and the triangle was used ever since then, in a way to signal "good luck"...
I wish Doug DeMurro was aware of the fact that in Dynamic and Race modes you can revert to soft damper settings by the press of a button, while keeping the sharp engine/gearbox/steering settings. This would eliminate the rough ride while still keeping the sporty character of the car.
I live in Italy and some of my friends own a Stelvio, not the Quadrifoglio version, just boring diesels, and they all had german brands SUV. They're really happy with their car and, even if they are just diesel, they very sporty and the handing is awesome. Moreover, here's the most sold SUV in the market since it came out last year and most people loves it.
@@김동준-t9p I love pizza and yes, italian cars make big numbers only in Italy because they have a very bad reputation in other countries. People only love German cars here in Europe, despite all the scandals and the Dieselgate.
I didn't ever saw a fake exhaust on a German car that has more than 400hp... i can agree with you on the less powerful ones, but not on the +400hp cars....
Well...BMW still have real exhausts, and Porsche of course... But Audi, M-B and VW have several cars with fake ones, even on high powered cars like Audi SQ5
505 hp from a 2.9 liter. Thats crazy numbers twin turbo or not. That tuning must be off the hook. And that exhaust note is comparable to any super sport v8 currently available.
That's why no one who knows anything about cars is buying these. I blew up the giulia version after just a half hour of driving in the LA hills. If they can ease off of that engine and bring it down to ~450 hp they would be the best cars on the market
Of all the performance SUV vehicles, This one looks sensible, well crafted & beautiful to look at. Not to mention it having a mere v6 makes it more fuel efficient and THAT EXHAUST NOTE IS AMAZING!
I’d take this over the Porche or the BMW any day because it seems like that’s all everyone around me drive; at least those who drive a luxury SUV. Those, or the Mercedes version. This would stand out from those simply for NOT being those, and that’s why I’d take it. I also love the simplicity of the interior. I don’t look at it and go “I’m in an airplane.”
i think the Cadillac did a good job with the xt5 and xt4 also, idk everyone seems so stuck on the germans. To me audi, bmw and bens all look boring and everyone and that pet dog wants to drive one.
Doug, let me help you. In order to turn off the turn signal, you don't swing it all the way in the opposite way. Just swing it just a little bit in the opposite way. It's not infuriatingly hard, Doug! Just a weird quirk.
Doug , oh Doug, You missed most important think you can adjust and soften the dampers in dynamic mode , You just press damper settings on the DNA wheel and adjust to softer level ... Well u live and learn every day.....
Same with it’s predecessor, 159. There’s a small resistance in the half way. If you don’t exceed it, it blinks only three times. Doug needs to make fake quirks because it’s too normal.
and the Q versions are faster and cheaper as well: more value for your money ! (And the joy of using a Ferrari F154 engine into the bargain ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_F154_engine)
I mean the fact that it's the fastest SUV on the Nurburgring at the moment is a huge quirk and feature in itself. But I get your qualm, this is mostly a play to give them some wiggle-room money to make more Alfa-type stuff. It's definitely an Alfa take on an SUV, though, being RWD rather than FWD like most others, and being, in my opinion, the best looking SUV on the market right now.
Alfa's since like 2005 don't usually have reliability problems anymore, I have a 2007 159, never had any problems. This goes for most cars made post 2005.
@CommanderWicked You failed to see the joke. The one where Alfa's are badly made and have stupid ways of doing things! Speak for yourself, a mate of mine had a Brera, the engine blew up on Cardiff toll bridge (of all places). Guess its just a Fiat underneath after all.
@@masonyates5817 Probably you dont like Alfa Romeo, but he Is completely right. Im not saying it because im an Alfa fan or something like that, but because this is the opinion of all the experts in the sector.
Thanks for the honest review Doug. As a former Porsche Cayenne S owner, I have nothing but good things to say about our new family hauler. It is the 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sport AWD.
@@ethanol2733 Now 17 months in and no issues! 1 oil change at 10k. My only complaint is wishing on the better brakes. The calipers look nice, but to stop that heavy SUV you need to get into the pedal sometimes. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio brakes are done proper thoufh.
I have a white with red interior 2019 Alfa Giulia and I absolutely love it. The A in DNA actually stands for Advanced Efficiency mode. It's basically eco/comfort mode with slower shifts. The AWD system operates differently as well to help increase performance in weather situations. The Dynamic mode also sharpens up the breaks
The big etching of the key in the center console is used to start your car if your key is dead. You can manually open the handles with the key lock and place the dead fob in the console and it communicates with the car to start it up
These Alfa vehicles are the best looking things I've seen since the early 70s, I've been curious about the build quality and reliability though. Any information in those areas??
Exactly! Stelvio is quicker in the first part but in the end Giulia wins. Because All wheel drive is better in the 0-62 but after that the RWD recovers the gap
I have been in the 280 hp version of it as a passengers, and it's truly mind-blowing how it handles corners.. Alfas sure don't hove the technology of the German rivals but it has everything a petrolhead really needs.
the oval key in the center console is just the place to put your keyless remote when the battery dies so che car can sense the key even without battery so you can start it
You are right and here is the really strange part as in Portofino video he showed exactly this feature. Keeping in mind how close Ferrari and Alfa are it is not that hard to make a connection.
On the DNA switch there is a damper button where you can change 2 different settings in both dynamic and race mode. If you are going to do a review, do it properly!! And the A stands for advanced efficiency... The engine turns off 3 cylinders . You can thank me later:)
@Joel Schembri I think the idea is to have a smallish, lightish performance SUV. Just like the Giulia ended up one of the best sedans, this ended up one of the best SUVs. It bascially has a GTR engine but smaller, and that was considered super car slaying a few years ago. There are other SUVs with a lot more power and better acceleration, but according to reviews this is ine of the only really fast ones on a track so far.
Maybe check the fastest laps on Nürburgring then... Giulia QV is the fastest sedan, faster than Panamera Turbo... also M4 is coupe/convertible only, and only M4 GTS(at 140k USD) beats Giulia. And they took Stelvio to Nürburgring and guess what... It's the fastest SUV there :P at least it was last time i've checked.
In the dna and race section, the middle button is used to dial back the suspension in dynamic and race mode. Just press the button, then turn the circle towards the all weather place, and boom! You're good to go
Yes and 8/10 is very high so it makes sense no? He gives out 10 in acceleration to cars like the Chiron and the Koenigsegg Agera RS who does 0-100 in almost half the time as this.
@@ricolewis2949 almost 50k miles and it’s been great, no real problems other than the odd software glitch, but they cure themselves. I’ve never owned any of it’s competitors so maybe ignorance is bliss, but it’s still fun to drive and own.
I assume you kinda half-tap the stalk. Ford did these signal stalks in their trucks for a couple years and it was infuriating to use. You'd tap for a 3-flash lane change signal, push all the way down for a full signal and if it doesn't auto-cancel, you'd have to do it again. Shit is dumb.
My wife and I went to test drive a 2018 Stelvio (non-Quadrifoglio) and were amazed at how amazing it was. It looks amazing, it is comfortable and quiet and the things that a lot of reviewers didn't like, we really loved. The small, no-touch infotainment made the cabin so much cleaner and we feel safer because the driver isn't messing trying to find the menu for turning on windshield wipers. The RWD made the Stelvio feel like a dancer flitting about the road. I'm sure the handling is more like what Doug describes at 15:26 but it feels like a really, really good hatchback. IT WAS A STEAL! We bought it the same afternoon.
What? He's moaning about the ride completely ignoring the fact that the car has damper button in the middle of the dna switch. You can have the whole car in dynamic and the ride in normal. I wonder if this wasn't alfa would he left this or this was just another regular alfa review
bubbarocks8888888888 fuck off hater. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and the Stelvio are some of the best cars to come out in years, just read the reviews. They are made by the Ferrari team, not Fiat or Chrysler.
@n s n s did you look in the new alfa giulia compared to 2017 maserati gran turismo Alfa has lot less plastic. I can say yes they cost less they perform better and compared to maserati they look better on the inside

Pietro Matteo check out consumer reports reliability and resale value predictions. Alfa Romeo is still a beautiful piece of crap, and I still love them. Just wish they would hire as many good engineers as they do carrozzerias.
Pietro Matteo the Consumer Report estimation was based on 2017 models. You can also google reliability before that with European models. Unfortunately nothing has changed. Everything under the Fiat umbrella is crap reliability.
Pietro Matteo I think the cash infusion from Fiat has actually made modern Maserati’s and Alfa Romeo’s more reliable. Unfortunately a more reliable Italian car is relative. They should hire more, and better engineers. Coach design is what they excel at, but poor reliability still plagues them. It’s 2018, these issues should have long been worked out.
The engine itself is quite interesting and worthy of more discussion! It’s a 90-degree V6, which is not common, because it’s essentially a Ferrari V8 cut down to size. It’s perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of this car!
Not to mention that Ferrari F154 engine is a three consecutive years an engine of the year. This V6 is as you said F154 minus 2 cylinders which in a way makes it a very, very special motor especially the fact that you can buy it without being very rich (.... just rich will be enough).

Very similar to Jaguar SUV
aris1188 ? Not at all
It looks very different to me. They just sort of replicated the design of the Giulia in this one, but it's absolutely Alfa Romeo from a mile distance, impossible to confuse it
It's not a grill causr Alfas are not usual peasants cars Luke BMWs od others - it's scudetto!
Because Maserati shares designs and components from Ford, while Giulia/Stelvio are inspired and designed by Ferrari/FCA collab. That V6 is a Ferrari V8 with 2 cylinders lopped off
Clarification on that four leaf clover badge. The driver Ugo Sivocci, who was also a dear friend of Enzo Ferrari, started the whole quadrifoglio symbol for Alfa Romeo to banish bad luck as well as them always finishing second place. They won so many races afterwards. Originally it used to be in a square. When Sivocci died, Alfa Romeo took one side off the square and made it a triangle in memory of him.
G K I heard that story a long time ago on another video and I kind of figured that it should be mentioned. Especially after Doug very briefly explained a tiny history of the badge. One thing to know, Sivocci died at Monza in a car that didn’t have the Quadrifoglio badge on it.
Gregg Cesaroni I like how Doug had to tell people it’s an Italian brand 😂
wow
well it wasn't quite like that... actually, it used to be a square, but in one of the mille miglias , a long time ago, an alfa romeo driver had a horrible crash. He somehow survived with minor bruises, despite the fact that the car was left like a ball of paper, all folded and useless. The cloverleaf sticker was also damaged, and the triangle was used ever since then, in a way to signal "good luck"...
and yes, Sivocci died because he betrayed the quadrifoglio, which used to give him good luck in his races.

I wish Doug DeMurro was aware of the fact that in Dynamic and Race modes you can revert to soft damper settings by the press of a button, while keeping the sharp engine/gearbox/steering settings. This would eliminate the rough ride while still keeping the sporty character of the car.
Ah yes, soft damping while in performance modes intended as such and not for posturing, where sharp handling and not boaty floatiness is required...
I live in Italy and some of my friends own a Stelvio, not the Quadrifoglio version, just boring diesels, and they all had german brands SUV. They're really happy with their car and, even if they are just diesel, they very sporty and the handing is awesome.

About the turn signal issue, you just hit it lightly. I have a Stelvio and I was confused for awhile as well.
Same with it’s predecessor, 159. There’s a small resistance in the half way. If you don’t exceed it, it blinks only three times. Doug needs to make fake quirks because it’s too normal.
actually goes of automatically after lane change or turn blinks 5 or six times as courtesy/safety feature

Is an Alfa Romeo that is devoid of interesting quirks and weird features an Alfa Romeo at all?
I mean the fact that it's the fastest SUV on the Nurburgring at the moment is a huge quirk and feature in itself.
But I get your qualm, this is mostly a play to give them some wiggle-room money to make more Alfa-type stuff. It's definitely an Alfa take on an SUV, though, being RWD rather than FWD like most others, and being, in my opinion, the best looking SUV on the market right now.
Give it time... These things are brand new, lets hope the engine blows up or wheels fall off or something Alfa happens once they get some age in them.
Alfa's since like 2005 don't usually have reliability problems anymore, I have a 2007 159, never had any problems. This goes for most cars made post 2005.
Something electric will fail. Dont worry :) (Or they forgot to put in a lever for opening the fuel lid)
@CommanderWicked You failed to see the joke. The one where Alfa's are badly made and have stupid ways of doing things! Speak for yourself, a mate of mine had a Brera, the engine blew up on Cardiff toll bridge (of all places). Guess its just a Fiat underneath after all.

@@ethanol2733 Now 17 months in and no issues! 1 oil change at 10k. My only complaint is wishing on the better brakes. The calipers look nice, but to stop that heavy SUV you need to get into the pedal sometimes. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio brakes are done proper thoufh.

Saad Qureshi you joke but it's actually pretty hard lol you need a lot of control
I have a white with red interior 2019 Alfa Giulia and I absolutely love it. The A in DNA actually stands for Advanced Efficiency mode. It's basically eco/comfort mode with slower shifts. The AWD system operates differently as well to help increase performance in weather situations. The Dynamic mode also sharpens up the breaks
The big etching of the key in the center console is used to start your car if your key is dead. You can manually open the handles with the key lock and place the dead fob in the console and it communicates with the car to start it up
These Alfa vehicles are the best looking things I've seen since the early 70s, I've been curious about the build quality and reliability though. Any information in those areas??
I think it's crazy how this has the same score as the Giulia despite being an SUV. Crazy how a SUV is now as dynamic as a performance sedan
True, but the giulia looks sleeker because its lower to the ground and lighter. Pretty sure it's lighter
Ferrari helping with the engine design helped a lot.
And he is quicker. O-62mph Stelvio 3.8 Giulia 3.9
because it's all wheel drive it beats the giulia 0-60
Exactly! Stelvio is quicker in the first part but in the end Giulia wins. Because All wheel drive is better in the 0-62 but after that the RWD recovers the gap
I have been in the 280 hp version of it as a passengers, and it's truly mind-blowing how it handles corners.. Alfas sure don't hove the technology of the German rivals but it has everything a petrolhead really needs.
and THIS is the Stelviooo Quadrifogliooo
NINOOOO
the oval key in the center console is just the place to put your keyless remote when the battery dies so che car can sense the key even without battery so you can start it
You are right and here is the really strange part as in Portofino video he showed exactly this feature. Keeping in mind how close Ferrari and Alfa are it is not that hard to make a connection.
This is the X3, GLC63s, SQ5 and Porsche Macan. Not the large SUV variants
It is bigger, the video doesn't make justice.
op is right. Its in the same class as the x3
I drove It twice, absolutely a super SUV...Its insane!! Puts a smile on your face EVERYTIME
On the DNA switch there is a damper button where you can change 2 different settings in both dynamic and race mode. If you are going to do a review, do it properly!! And the A stands for advanced efficiency... The engine turns off 3 cylinders . You can thank me later:)

@Joel Schembri I think the idea is to have a smallish, lightish performance SUV. Just like the Giulia ended up one of the best sedans, this ended up one of the best SUVs. It bascially has a GTR engine but smaller, and that was considered super car slaying a few years ago. There are other SUVs with a lot more power and better acceleration, but according to reviews this is ine of the only really fast ones on a track so far.
Nothing special? Everything is special under the hood, Ferrari guy, lol.
Maybe check the fastest laps on Nürburgring then... Giulia QV is the fastest sedan, faster than Panamera Turbo... also M4 is coupe/convertible only, and only M4 GTS(at 140k USD) beats Giulia. And they took Stelvio to Nürburgring and guess what... It's the fastest SUV there :P at least it was last time i've checked.
In the dna and race section, the middle button is used to dial back the suspension in dynamic and race mode. Just press the button, then turn the circle towards the all weather place, and boom! You're good to go

Ford did these signal stalks in their trucks for a couple years and it was infuriating to use. You'd tap for a 3-flash lane change signal, push all the way down for a full signal and if it doesn't auto-cancel, you'd have to do it again. Shit is dumb.

My wife and I went to test drive a 2018 Stelvio (non-Quadrifoglio) and were amazed at how amazing it was. It looks amazing, it is comfortable and quiet and the things that a lot of reviewers didn't like, we really loved. The small, no-touch infotainment made the cabin so much cleaner and we feel safer because the driver isn't messing trying to find the menu for turning on windshield wipers.
The RWD made the Stelvio feel like a dancer flitting about the road. I'm sure the handling is more like what Doug describes at 15:26 but it feels like a really, really good hatchback. IT WAS A STEAL! We bought it the same afternoon.
