2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio review // Going, going.....gone!

[@MrAntoniovine]

2022 Stelvio owner here. Love my car and have no desire to drive anything else. 46,000km with no issues. Truly is a special vehicle like no other.

[@jeromelieberth6655]

my wife and i went to test a Giulia over a year ago....we started the car. drove out the lot and i turned to her and said " you will have to make the decision on this because I am already sold . Luckily for me she agreed with me . And no matter the issue ,whenever i start the car and drive its the best car to won and drive. Nothing really compares to it . And space wise had five adults in car driving from White rock to Vancouver and not one complaint. Just love this car!

Handsome vehicle. Too bad it’s end of the era of this vehicle. Hopefully they will build another handsome vehicle. Great show Andrea!

[@clbeischer]

I own a 2018 Stelvio 2.0 litre, 1st year it came out. Ya know when Zach says not to buy a car in its first year of existence? Well, he's right! I had electric gremlins for the first year, Ugh! (which were eventually fixed with an updated CPU) BUT....I have over 92K miles on it and there are ZERO creaks or rattles. The car is built very well. And it drives...let's just say it feeds my soul. Keep up the great work!

get rid of the dealer supplied battery.... Install a non-alfa spec'd battery and most of your electrical issues will disappear

92k miles is basically a new car, Seen Giulias, 2.2 liters mostly, with 400k km and not sure why those would have any rattles or creaks.

[@Thatcardude207]

I am on my second QV 2023 in Montreal green. I have owned a QV in 2017 when the car just came out and also had a Stelvio 2.0 for almost 4 years and put 50K miles on it. Never had any issue. The only issue I ever noticed was the "service throttle" which is a glitch and shows up and disappears on its own. Nothing needs to be done for it. It's the most amazing drivers car and the driving dynamics and steering response is simply another level.

Second Montreal in 2023? Is it the original tricoat or the metallic from the Tonale? Paint code?

I currently have a 2021 Stelvio QV instead, which is not far behind from Gulia QV IMO. Reliability on its electrical isn’t the best, which caused a few visits were made to the dealership to address the issues.

The best SUV which I had even driven. Gulia QV definitely be another level!

My QV is nearly 8 years old and still looks amazing next to its new modern competition. I prefer the analog gauges over the new digital dash though. Overall it’s a very special car to drive and own.

Hope you drive one with the digit dials. You may be amazed at how good the 4 different graphics are (but it sux that the Quadrifoglio badge is digital only)

[@chad8349]

I have a 2017 Giulia TI Q4 with the performance pkg adaptive damper 19 inch wheels etc. 87000 miles . Absolutely love love love the Giulia. Sexiest car out there and although I have had a few issues, I would buy it again. The biggest downside is the insurance, which is almost twice the other vehicles I have owned. Insurance company rank Alfa's with incredibly high part replacement costs.. so drives up insurance... Ive check everywhere and they are more than I pay now. In the end...... still worth it every time I drive it.

Misano Blue Stelvio Quadrifoglio owner here in the UK - a rare car here (less than 600 on the roads), and a superb car to drive - stylish, fast, not as common as BMW's, Merc's. Audi's etc. Always a smile on the face (just ignore the fuel economy!) - it was bought for the smiles per miles, not the miles per gallon 👍👍

[@ryanm.3681]

I wish we could make the point that literally none of the competitors are going to be any more reliable than the Giulia. At least not the Caddy, BMW benz or Audi that you mention. The IS of course will be. The real issue with this car is the support network... Do you have a dealership or mechanic that can work on it? If so then absolutely buy this car! I have had 2 (2.0s) and they have both been great.

[@chrisburry8147]

Part of reliability is available of parts and down time (not just the failure point). I have a 2024 M3 an have had two Audi RS5's and all have been "reliable" - Chalk it up to minor issues being resolved in a quick visit to the dealer vs the QV where it may sit at a dealership for weeks waiting on parts for a minor repair. As much as I like the QV, it's a big part of the reason I didn't spring for one (that and the terrible infotainment).

[@ryanm.3681]

@chrisburry8147 Many people have had zero issues with their QVs and 2.0t Alfas. If you are going to try and represent a BMW as reliable then your just a dishonest actor. I am absolutely NOT try to say Alfas should be considered reliable. My point is all you hear on the internet is about how you shouldn't get an Alfa because reliability get a BMW instead.. Thats hilarious. All cars have problems. Toyota just recalled 102k cars to replace their defective engines. The unreliability talking point against Alfa Romeo is all hype. As I stated, if you have a dealer or mechanic close enough to you and this is the car you want then you should absolutely buy one and enjoy it. It will break. So will the Cadillac and BMW and any European counterpart.

[@chrisburry8147]

@@ryanm.3681 first off I did put "reliable" in quotes for a reason. None of these brands are known for their impeccable reliability. That being said, all you have to do is take a look at JD Power, Consumer Reports, etc to see that BMW is definitely scoring higher than Alfa (take that however you want). I've had my M3 and several RS5s for many years with no issues (and previous Audi's and BMWs as well). My point was that not having availability of parts or dealership service networks impacts reliability as well...sure you can go to indy shops but part availability is still an issue.

What a stunning car 🤩

[@Howard24]

The Giulia Quadrifoglio is such a magnificent car, but it's a tough sell in the current market, and especially the Canadian market. High performance sports sedans are already a tough sell, let alone a rear wheel drive one in our climate and not so well paved roads in eastern Canada. It's really sad because the Giulia Quadrifoglio IMO has the most soul out of the current European offerings (RS5, M3, C63).

[@GForceVRX]

[@AP-cc1uw]

I picked up a 2024 Giulia QV “Carbonio Edition” in Rosso GTA. Red leather interior, carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber grille insert, mirror caps and spoiler. Best driving car I’ve ever had and driven. Going to keep it forever. Anyone prioritizing driving engagement should be looking at the Alfa over the M3, RS 5 and C63. The only car that comes close is the CT4 Blackwing.

[@nessuno5403]

Alas, the "Carbonio Edition" is just a final marketing pack for the US to make buyers pay a premium. Even the leather inside has been downgraded from the original Nappa leather and alcantara trim, to the 4-cylinders' lower-grade full leather trim.

[@chiman730]

I owned one 2.0T for 3 years and nothing had happened to me. The only gripe I had was, in area I live, there is no dedicated service center for this. You send your car for service to the same shop as the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge and Crysler. Where I see the same guy who service a fiat for $90 oil change, but it cost me $300 to do the same job.. I was debating about keeping one of our car (outback or Guila) at the end of the lease and get a new one. We ended up returning this due to a few factors: the upkeeping cost will likely and high due to parts and service down the road, No matter how good the Guilia was, you can't beat an outback on reliability.

[@mr.2cents.846]

I heard on the 2020 the steering is not as sharp as it used to be. But man does it look good in blue. If I had money, this would be a no-brainer. ❤️🍀😎👍👍

[@nessuno5403]

Comments like yours are useless. The best model of this Giulia is the 2020 GTA with the revised steering geometry. Also, these 2023 models are the best dynamically thanks to revised rear suspension and mechanical LSD. Don't comment if it's just based on hearsay.

[@ricatiman]

I sold them and Fiats for a while when Alfa recently returned to Canada. We had issues with pretty much every vehicle that was sold. Owners were initially enthusiastic, but that soon turned into buyer's remorse. Service issues due to poor build quality and lack of parts availability were the biggest issues. That entertainment system was not top quality when the car was released. Even worse is the hit these owners will have to take at trade in time. If you really want an Alfa, buy a 2-3 year old one from the original owner, after they have been stunned by the lowball offer from the dealers at trade in time.

[@dirkcuypers6669]

Quadrifoglio owner for over 5 years now. First as a daily driver but now just a roadtrip toy. Important is to change the original tyres if you live in a cold climate. Also the original battery should be replaced before it suddenly go's dead without a real warning. for now the only 'defect' i had was a leaking shock absorber after driving in a deep put whole and i had to change the front splitter because after a few years of slowly scrapping it at speed bumps they crack on the rear of the spoiler because the carbon is getting to thin. Still a happy owner won't be selling for many years to come.

I had Giulia Veloce 210hp since 2017 (diesel), in 4y no any single issue, switched to bmw g20 340ix (nice car, nice power, but steering wheel feeling is awful in comparison with Giulia, any Giulia). In short, I did order new Giulia Quadrifoglio (Montreal green), expecting delivery Sep/Oct 2024. Coming back to Alfa Romeo, from BMW. In Europe this car is coming with 520hp. Major benefit over previous version is lsd differential (TV wasn’t the best solution). Very the same diff you can find in GTA and GTAm models. Pros: drivers car capable for daily, like in my case, will be major daily car. Cons (only two for me): 1. Sport exhaust you can open only and only in Race mode, when also traction is off (stupid, since this was the reason lots of broken Giulia Quadrifoglio’s). Why Dynamic mode (while TC is ON) doesn’t support this or simply on/off button like in Porsche? 2. Missing wireless connectivity for AutoConnect, useful for daily car. Reliability will not comment, owned 9 different Alfa’s (even FiatAlfa’s with fwd) and never an issue. Recipe, change engine oil no longer than 15.000km (despite factory recommendations) or once per year (what comes first). Don’t push engine until oil is not at the working temperature. And if you push turbo engine car, give him a time to cool down, don’t just switch off engine. Simple rules referring all cars. Petrolheads will understand 😊👍

This car is less insulated and the rear feels like it's gonna move but very planted and the car has a more unique tone than all those farty BMW mufflers.

Been driving a QV since 2019, never had any issue. Scheduled maintenance, fuel, oil, tires, thats it.

M3 is a great piece of engineering but ugly as sin and far less charismatic, same goes for the AMG which on top of it is a few 100kgs heavier.

@@AP-cc1uw the RWD is faster than the QV. Plenty of comparisons online. Besides mine is AWD and will beat the QV even if I put it in RWD mode (the nice thing about the G80 M3).

Yeah, you never know when they're going to break down and when they do good luck that the dealer has the parts and time.

@@xorbitman I have a Quad and it's been completely reliable. They forgot to mention the entire car was designed by ex Ferrari Engineers, and essentially has a Ferrari Engine.

I own a 1988 AR Milano Verde, it has the green 4 leaf clover on it. Great drivers car but sketchy reliability. If the Guila QV had the Manual trans it would likely be in my driveway. Otherwise I really like my (blue) 2017 BMW M240i MT, my 2023 Camaro SS MT convertible and my 2004 (Holden) GTO MT

15:07 The brake lights doubling as the turn signals are unacceptable. The brakes and turn signals are supposed to be separate lights and turn signals are amber, period. Why do all the Euro brands completely ruin the taillights on USDM vehicles?

[@nessuno5403]

Blind? The lights on the bootlid function only as brake lights. And blame dumb US homologation standards otherwise.

I’m fortunate enough to live across the street from a Maserati/alfa Romeo dealership in Ottawa. I see them everyday but to me there’s no wow factor about them. I’ve always thought of alfa Romeo as having way over priced vehicles. My advice buy a bmw m3 competition xdrive instead On a side note that same dealership has a couple of Maserati mc20’s in there Don’t even get me started on those 😂 Do yourselves a favour Get a Lamborghini Huracan technica instead

[@chrisburry8147]

Love the QV but I'll enjoy my '24 M3 Competition xDrive (👍🏻 in Canada) knowing that part and service available are a huge part of owners satisfaction. Not to mention traction in the winter.

[@vincefava7929]

why I opted for the Stelvio QV in 2022, as my daily driver in Canada....soul, power, and traction. Parts and service have been stellar in the Toronto area and no issues. (The M3 is a great choice too)

[@chrisburry8147]

@@vincefava7929 I'm in Toronto as well but just didn't want to deal with any delays IF I did have service issues. I would have went for the Stelvio but I already have an SUV (Audi Q7). The M3 seemed like the good choice for me, but all these cars are pretty awesome (I had two Audi RS5's previously and everyone knocks them...probably people who haven't driven one).

[@carlosgargiulo8789]

What about the new Honda Prologue??

Too bad the QV GTAm was never sold in NA.

[@kcpncfs9234]

have to love an Alfa.. although i dont understand lol.

[@ilord112]

Go…? You mean this model will not be available in Canadian market or out of production?

[@andreaspencer9813]

The Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models are being discontinued. The Giulia and Stelvio will carry forward for another year.
