This week on TheCarGuys.tv a chance to revisit a car that has been on the garage ‘want’ list for over 4 years - the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Alfa has managed to marry an unburstable Ferrari-derived engine with a sumptuous super-saloon body and created an absolute masterpiece!
It goes, it stops, it handles, it feels robust, tight, it feels… German. And that means that this Alfa Romeo is taking on the very latest BMW M3 and M4 - and still winning in its class.
If you want something that’s pretty, muscular, and seriously fast, this is the car for you. And now that it’s coming to the end of its life, there are some real juicy bargains to be had.
So, you’ve got to ask yourself a question. Do you want to go with the new BMW M3 and try to ignore THAT grill and being a bit underwhelmed? Or do you want a bit more… excitement in your life?
Thank you for watching

Thanks for all the great comments, guys. Just to let you know what happened with the sound in the exterior parts of this episode. The new dual channel Rode mics were unfortunately default set for separate left and right channels instead of being merged. So you get Damian in one ear and Jason in the other, and the sound levels were a little too high, particularly on Jason's, which means when he projected for a normal mic, it sounded a bit distorted. Rest assured this is now sounded, and we will try not to shout so much now that we have dedicated mics for each of us, instead of a single one on the camera. I've tried to adjust the levels to give the best sound for this episode, but I appreciate it may not be as good as it has been. Normal service will be resumed next week.

Got my Quadrifoglio a couple of months ago and love it. The used price mentioned of £30-35K is probably a bit optimistic. There might be a couple of cars in this price bracket but most are more like £35-40K. Also I thought the rear seats do fold on the later models - they didn't on the earlier cars. Opening the bonnet is also entirely possible by yourself too :-). They all have a carbon roof as standard (it's an option to have exposed carbon). The exhaust values only fully open in Race mode which also switches off all traction control. You can get a remote exhaust control fitted so can then open/close in any mode.

Used prices now over £45k.

[@georgiosdedes]

Mine is just as good today as it was 3 years ago when I took it new in the factory. Awaiting for my GTAm towards the end of the year. The engine is a derivative of the F154 well deserved and prized unit that is found in Maserati and Ferrari cars. The suspension and weight distribution coupled by the direct steering and front turn in is a work of art in this car. Try it flat out on a track and notice how light on its feet it feels and acts compared to other cars in this segment. No other sports sedan in this segment is as good a package as the 🍀

Sadly PATRIDA, we can't get the GTAm in USA !!!

[@kevind2760]

Good job driving on roads and not on the track. That's real. I have a 2018 QV and I love it so much. If you are thinking of buying one read this: It's been perfect except for a small oil leak at the rear where the turbos are. Sadly the dealer was horrible at service and it was there for 3 months. They offered a rental and gave me some money to cover car payments. Now you would think I'd be pissed. I was, and stopped at the BMW dealer on the way to pick up my car from service and there was a brand-new 2021 M3 Comp. I test drove it and would have bought it on the spot if it were better. It was not. Not even close. The emotional attachment of a QV is difficult to explain. I've owned Ferraris, AMG cars, M cars, and I have four 911s today including two GT3s. The QV is flat-out my favorite car. Ever. The M3 is jarring to drive on California roads. The QV is smooth as a Mercedes, but feels like it has no mass. Tossable like my old E46 but tons better. Ans faster. And funner. Early problems were all software. Don't worry about it. I'd even buy a lemon-law car and get a Fidelity warranty if I was on a budget. That's smart.

Thanks for the owners perspective. I really like these. Just that little bit unique. Looks like there are some good deals round too.

Great video guys. You highlighted that you can actually drive this car on bad British roads without bouncing off.

Watch the savage geese Alfa quadrifoglio video that goes into more depth. There were big plans for Alfa until 2015 when Ferrari split with fiat/Alfa. The Guilia and Stelvio were the only results of the plans. Shame.

I own one and these are fantastic cars. Nice to see the passion but so much wrong and missed information in this video it’s scary. *Its a 2.9 not 3.0 engine *The rear seats do fold on MY18 onwards *Race turns traction/safety features off aswell as many other things like opening the exhaust, pre prepping the turbos and changing even the brake feel. *Models built before MY20 had a carbon roof standard albeit painted body colour. *Steering isn’t light at all, it’s a fast rack though. *A cheeky remap takes it to 605bhp 575ft lb (I went with Celtic tuning and highly recommend them) *They genuinely do 191mph standard, people have actually hit 200mph. *It has extensive use of carbon, you didn’t mention the propshaft is carbon too. *You say it feels heavy, it’s no lightweight that’s for sure but certainly feels light on feet in comparison to all other cars it competes with. On a super sensible run it will actually manage 40mpg!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Hi Stephen, glad you enjoyed the episode and congrats on owning such an awesome car. To address your points: 1. Well if we're being pedantic and not friendly about the engine size, it's actually 2891cc not 2.9 (sorry, we rounded up if that is offensive) 2. Thanks for the seat info 3. Race mode - yes obviously, we are not mentioning every aspect 4. Yes, in our 20+ minute unscripted dialogue whilst driving we probably didn't mentioned the specific difference between painted and unpainted carbon roof. 5. Steering - opinion, that is not wrong 6. Top speed - interesting, but if you paid attention you will note we mention the discrepancy between the 2 different speeds announced by Alfa. I find it unlikely that the standard cars could get to 191, but I haven't tested it. 7. We don't aim to mention every component. You probably want Shmee for that, or failing that, someone who just reads the spec sheet out to you 8. Weight - that is opinion. It's not wrong, your view is just different.

[@minatormyth]

So you found that scary? You need to get out more🤪

[@troy9762]

Just curious, on a super sensible run after the celtic tune will it still get close to 40 mgp on advance mode or eco mode?

I had my late 17 car for 2 years, drove 30,000 miles and loved every moment. The car was faultless. I imagine if you drove a Ferrari Pista, it might feel heavy and slow, but really - do many of us do that? 🤔

Very good video. Many people prefers the Germans cars because of better interiors and infotainment. Unfortunately there are just few that evaluate the cars for the intrinsic qualities such as the double wishbone suspension and carbon fiber transmission shaft.

@@usarkarzts4207 that you can’t put race mode on that does a variety of things without backing of traction. You can do that in all it’s rivals. For example I would drive in race mode all the time due to the increased exhaust. However in the wet it would be pretty sketchy

@@freddiejones4598 the new models I think that the exhaust also opens in dynamic for that reason.

thanks for giving great fun watching your video. after i had giulia veloce which has ONLY 280hp, i rarely drive my quattro A5. i bought an emergency power supply last week

[@StefanoMaggio]

rear seats dont fold down?? instead of looking for the trunk button should have looked at the pull tabs for the rear seat? you can see them in the vid

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Good point!

[@StefanoMaggio]

@@TheCarGuysTV good review though, be watching more

Perfect Spec! 👀

A bit scary in heavy rain where outside temp below 10 C, luckily Michelin now do their Pilot Sport 4S tyres for the QV. And now thd QV is probably at least £10k cheaper than the equivalent M3.

176 mph for the Stelvio QV 191 for Giulia QV

[@RJPick1]

Way too many bits and buttons on it that only turn off the Nanny State aides..... Suggestion, wire them all up to the non electric boot lid so they are all permanently turned off, who needs Nanny state aides anyway!

I have a ‘17 model and it feels special every time I drive it, never gets boring! Great review on a great machine! 🍀

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Thanks! 👍

[@antonygriffiths6764]

Not surprised there are still the usual latches, catches and handles foibles in an Alpha, but, what great driving car and a great review. Would like to see another with the GTA and Jason, really like your Car Guys TV champion spark plug logo t-shirt. BTW, have you guys got new cameras because the quality and clarity of your video has improved significantly lately… Anyway great work guys… Thank you.

Meh...at 7:40 some cliché "reliability" nonsense followed by a comparison to first edition "Glorified VW's".... My 2017 Giulia Quad has 30,000 miles on the clock with ZERO ISSUES EVER... Wish I could say the same for my "UBER QUALITY" German CRAP that I've owned.... M 3 Subframe Crack M 5 Rod Bearing Failure 911 IMS Bearing Failure Audi Head Gaskets that leak like the Exxon Valdez.... UBER QUALITY MY ARSE !!! FORZA ALFA BABY !!!! THE KING IS BACK !!!!

[@angi733]

rear seats now fold down on later models

[@bluearcherx]

all the QVs through 2021 had a carbon fiber roof, it was just whether it was exposed carbon or painted. 22+ it was aluminum painted vs optional exposed carbon.

[@soarabove337]

Ok, so first time seeing you guys, but am willing to come back. So long as you address the ~ @10:56 "on startup, sounds a bit like a Mondeo" comment. Speaking for this QV home - and on behalf of my neighbors, who ALL noticed the 'exhaust valve plug mod' right away - then thanks indeed to AR / FCA for the quiet start-up mode, even if you left it in R whilst pulling into the garage the night before. @11:45 'race basically gives you loud exhaust'... whilst I wondered before, now I am assured you two are not knowledgeable of the cars - or this car, anyway? - you're testing. 🤦‍♂ Great example, the buttons on the wheel don't turn off anything you haven't already turned on. Eg, cruise or freaking radio volume. I appreciate your willingness to either love or hate a car... but not sure why you wouldn't edit things that are part of easy ownership out... like where some buttons are & what they do lol. Weird twist @ the end. 🍀

[@panacheautomotive4298]

I have one never selling it I want to buy a couple more to tuck away in the warehouse.

[@carloslewis8448]

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio tops out at 176 mph The Giulia QV tops out at 191mph so yes it does almost reach 200!

[@markantonio1673]

'Cheap enough for us in a few years time'? Give me a break. Nice vid otherwise as others will undoubtedly confirm

[@autosportivobedford]

Love it. We have the stelvio version

[@TheCarGuysTV]

👌

[@ripptorr]

not necessarily a BMW fan (I like this alfa sooo much) but can anybody justify how an E60 M5 with similar power and more weight can go 200+ mph and this can't?

[@jeebus2121]

10:46 - Oddly enough, every reviewer I've seen with a manual QV states the gearbox isn't very good.
