I actually changed my A6 in for a Giulia, and it absolutely didn't disappoint! Sure, it's a bit less practical and some, not all, of the interior trim can't match Audi.. but if that's the reason you're buying a car then you're mad. Being a bit less practical will only be an issue a few times a year anyway. Head = buy the Audi Heart = buy the Alfa. Heart wins every time.

Hmm, as a 10y owner of 330i I was considering to lease Giulia mid-2017 but felt like it needed to proof itself 1st, so I went for the (just as boring as the A4) CPO '15 328ix (more wife friendly) and regretted it so much that I actually just dumped it, while still holding on to my '06 330i that I love ...and leased a new X3 for the wife since all new BMW are only good in version M or X ...and M is too$ and I already have '11 X5 and a new X3. So now I'm BACK looking at Giulias ;) ...and I was also concerned about the SERVICE, but in my case the local AR dealer shares it's roof with Maserati - no Chrysler of Fiat , but you feel a bit looked down upon which IDG a shit about.

Audi - very good looking, excelent interior and practicality, very economical and easy to drive Alfa - good and unique looking, very good interior, very good flappy pedal gearbox with RWD, lots of fun to drive Conclusion: The Audi checks more boxes, so for a normal person it is the better car, BUT for a petrol head there is no doubt that the Alfa would be the only right choice.

[@fernandofragoso4118]

Totally agree. I would pick the Alfa, but its not for everybody. The steering is too sharp, the brakes are too precise, it has less body roll, less suspension travel, etc.. a more sporty feeling. The Audi is more relaxed. Its a tourer while the Giulia its a sports car. While for some people the A4 its the best for being comfortable, peaceful and chilled to live with, for other people it would be boring and Giulia is the answer. But the difference its not reliability or material quality. Its just the character of the cars. Both are well built.

[@ashleygillespie-horne6429]

I love the fact the Giulia now comes in 'Veloce' trim, with a meaty 280hp on tap. It gives the car a much sportier feel. I test-drove one yesterday as well as the 2.2L diesel model, and the extra power really does change the whole feel and dynamic of the car. I've had Audi A4s, A5s and A6s as hire cars to do long-distance driving (Lincoln to Plymouth and back again), and they are indeed very comfortable, but to be fair the Giulia is hardly a Fred Flintstone car; it's still comfortable enough to drive. Sat on a couple of quotes for a Giulia Veloce at the moment. My only real decision is whether I want it in Vulcano Black or Misano Blue.

Not really. As fidgety as Audi's reliability can be, Alfa's is far worse. We also don't know how well the Alfa would hold it's price. Another thing is that the "honeymoon" period of the Giulia is coming to an end. Where as half a year ago everyone was saying how it's the best thing ever, now people are starting to say "Well, there's this and that that isn't great". The Audi is a proven daily. The Alfa, as good looking and as sporty as it is, is still a wild card since Alfa have been out of the class for so long.

I agree with another post. I hate those pop-up or add-on screens on German cars. It's like an afterthought with little or no imagination. You find these stick-on screens on the cheapest cars on the planet. Unlike the Alfa which has a true driver's cockpit with an integrated screen much like other exotics such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Lambos. And like any special or unique boutique car, Alfa doesn't bombard you with hypnotic ads and mind-bending marketing slogans. Alfas are purebred sports cars with an enviable racing history and all class. No wonder petrolheads love them.

I test-drove US version of Giulia sport package (2.0 petrol), as well as Ausi A6 2.0 petrol 3 years ago. And I have been driving a BMW 328 2.0 petrol for 3 years before the lease ended. Giulia looks absolutely stunning in-person. In the cabin it is nice, too. Sport trim with alcantara is not all that luxurious, the steering wheel looks a little funny, I am sure the luxury version with leather fixes all of this. The screen is smallish. The drive is interesting, not as silky-smooth as a Japanese V6, but quite engaging. You can go fast without realizing it. It does not spin up fast like BMW, but does not need it either. Acceleration is smooth and competent. Steering is good, with good precision although not as precise as direct steering in my old 525i BMW. Transmission is well refined, the whole powertrain is well integrated. Absorbs bumps well The A6 felt very nice in the cabin, good materials, accelerates competently. Nothing special in the drive. Had a feeling the 2.0 petrol will not be strong enough for the highway at speed. Need S6 with supercharged V6 for that. Audi us great for initial quality of electronics. Engine needs fanatical maintenance The 328i transmission is very jerky at low speed. If you release the accelerator suddenly, it gives you a whiplash. There is erratic upshifting when going downhill in traffic. Engine revs up well, is almost silent at slow speeds, good fuel economy. Steering is awful, easily the worst in this group. There is no feel for the car, not in control Seats are super-spartan, and suspension makes you feel every bump, plus rattle from the road. 2.0 petrol often lacks power when going uphill on the freeway. Cabin is nothing special. Exterior looks good, but generic BMW Giulia does not have the problems of BMW. Surprisingly for the sport car heritage it shifts very smoothly, has power on lower end, as well as reserve for the high end, absorbs bumps well enough, no rattle, seats are much better, plenty of power, would not tell it is a 2.0 liter. Much better steering feel As far as initial quality, being a new car, it will be worse than Audi or BMW. Need a competent service dept. Audi and BMW achieved good initial quality. Audi will likely not last much more than 3 years, 50k miles. BMW questionable. Giulia same thing. None of these are good to own, and equally practical to lease. Giulia is good to lease if you are willing to work out initial problems, and have a good mechanic handy

Although the Giulia hasn't quite beat it's German rivals just yet, it's a good indication of what Alfa CAN become. If the Stelvio can be a success (it already is on looks in my opinion), the company can finally pull itself up by the boot straps and start making phenomenal cars again. I think the car to look out for will be the successor to the Giulia in a few years time. I think by that point, they might finally be on the same level as their competitors.

more simply... if you have soul buy the Alfa. If you don't, buy the Audi.

[@alstound]

daniel rafael torres mendoza Audi, reliable?

[@danielrafaeltorresmendoza1098]

squala well, compared with the Alfa ,yes.

[@hari3920]

bmw fanboy

[@ferdibekirovski7749]

With the Alfa in 2030 you will look like you've bought a new 2030 car

[@DonLee1980]

The Alfa is a lot more exciting, but the Audi is so much easier to live with and I don't think you could go wrong with either. Buy either and you'd wonder how nice it would have been to get the other car.

[@BEZIMMIENY96]

Finally some sensible comment. Other are just throwing shit at each other without realising that different people have different tastes and needs.

[@konstantinoszabelakis1215]

The Alfa is a car with soul, a car with character like basically all Alfas. Like Jeremy Clarkson said only true pertolheads will ever understand the magic these cars have to offer. This Audi on the other hand is just a dull, boring sedan.

[@noticiasdeultimahora8290]

Finally the A4 is getting the credit it deserves, only if you used a sharper looking diesel model.

[@レム-b7l5x]

The Alfa would've been a clear win if it had: -A manual gearbox -An AWD option -A more practical boot (I've used my Audi since '05 because of the roominess, low maintenance and the comfortable ride) I consider the Alfa to be a car meant for attracting the younger crowd, the ones who would like a more sporty car. On the other side you have family people who want a reliable car that has a loot of room and is comfortable. If you ask me, it's all about preferance here...

[@dhanvin2795]

Matt has a crush on the new Audi A4 xD

[@qualitydobbers]

"Sometimes you just want a car to be easy and relaxing". I tend to find this the older I get!!

[@fromthaisland]

Having both I like my guilia better... but in city & traffic I like my A4

[@fafa9493]

Alfa for pilots Audi for grandfathers

[@weekendowotv3683]

Audi design in A4 is a disaster, the deep ribbing on the side of the car body is probably from the 80's, then you have round lines of the general shape from the previous A6 (3 generations back) and angular headlight and sharp front, nothing matches - the bad styling. Alfa design is proportional, a bit outdated, but still very good.

[@treamartin2692]

did anyone else notice the O2 censor on the Audi A4 at 2:09

[@rvcasa]

Comparing it to an heavy barge? 😫 At least you could compare with the old king, the M3! I hate those pop up screens on German cars! Thank goodness for Alfa's fresh design... And if I wanted a comfortable/luxury car, I'd buy a Rolls/Bentley etc. the QV is the ultimate drivers' car - immensely fun. No other car transpires such emotion when driving. Even shifting down is super exiting. Love the QV even just in Dynamic...(in Race, it roars)

[@nemanjaglisovic2740]

Well M3 can't really be compared to this, since it is more a sport car. There's Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and GTA/GTAm

[@michaelbellusci5723]

I agree there more like add on screens or after thought screens. No thought to the dashboards whatsoever except on Alfas and pricier exotics,

[@HiddenWen]

I had the choice between the A5 and Giulia. So fucking happy I chose the Giulia, it turns heads everywhere it goes, and driving it is a dream. There's so much soul in this car that it makes my daily commutes to work a blast.

[@Mystyfication]

A4 is a fugly, dull, boring, ordinary fwd car for people with no taste or imagination. This particular alfa though is a masterpiece compared to it

[@michaeltrumph121]

Taste varies. IMO the Audi looks so much better, especially the interior, which is on another level.

[@MrLeonidas123]

your face is fugly

[@omgitsme435]

Try climbing out of their ass, it would do you some good

[@cosmo9925]

I'm guessing you had your eyes closed they entire time they were showing off the interior. I'd say the Alfa looks better on the outside, and the Audi looks better on the inside.

[@juancarlosgroman8628]

IGNORANCE AT ITS FINEST

[@austinwest299]

I just got a Giulia in the USA and all I can say is wow, what a car. Most comfortable ride I've ever experienced. Very fast! Plus, when you look at the audi compared to the alfa from the outside, there's really no competition.

[@graemekinslow9789]

Why are we comparing a Skoda to the Alfa ?

[@kikchan94]

Well, all I can say is that I'm in love with the Guilia. Had a chance to buy a brand new one for 36.000€. The problem was that it had next to no extras and it had the smallest gasoline engine, 2.000cc and 200CV. Instead of getting the Guilia, I ended up getting myself a sweet Audi S6 C7 for 40.000€. This particular unit has 119.000km on the clock and its full equipped without the B&O speakers and the Head-up display, everything else, I've got it! Coming from a BMW fan!

[@bMPtuning01]

I already know that audi would win even before watching

[@juanezcronje2032]

win what? catagory for the dullest and boring....

[@namanakaskippy]

Head vs Heart = Audi vs Alfa For eg:- A4 vs Giulia TT vs 4c Successful businessman vs Successful Rockstar

[@peterboot5026]

never!, that doll Audi, always the Super Alfa!!

[@2595220]

be possible for a Mazda 6 review? thanks.

[@user-jg2kl1tr8k]

I'd buy the A4 No joke, attack me.

[@TC_83]

You have no soul 😂

[@radiogreenblue]

Have a 2005 Audi TT manual and a 2017 Giulia 280hp (US). So I like both brands. Giulia compared with A4 has a less interesting interior though excels with its carbon fiber drive shaft, rear wheel bias, delightful turbo sounds and incredibly direct steering. At 80 mph, no traffic in front of you and miles to go, the Giulia is a real treat. At 47k miles and still going strong.

[@MRpickleYandR]

Funny enough im picking between a mk3 audi TT S (2017) and Alfa Romeo Gulia Ti sport (2018) similar power / weight. Only thing is the Gulia is slightly more affordable where im at.

[@charlesclement383]

I bought the Alfa for a few reasons. (1)You can't tell me what's the best car. (2)I love Alfas. (3)What's good for you ,just may not be good for me. (4)I am sure we have different taste in women,so I don't trust your judgement.

[@Ziggyziggy1]

If it's top of the range performance package Alpha would be my choice every single time.. It's the best looking in its class by far..

[@BoosterB96]

why to spend 40 000 eu for BORING NEW A4, when you can spend 10 000 eu for the same car that looks almost identical but from 2010.. ALFA ROMEO

[@dominoxzz]

PetrolHead BS The Audi isn't exciting at all but when it comes down to quality and interior comfort and technology i guarantee you the Alfa gets outclassed in every department. The Alfa feels a whole lot cheaper from the inside. And that's not a good thing for a brand that can't even stand up in terms of "badge" name, coming in at a higher base price as well. Which makes absolutely no sense.

[@BoosterB96]

i can't or i don't want to understand your arguments, but you just claimed your ''knowledge'' about cars.. alfa has low quality interior??? why bro? why did you say that?

[@MrDandymusic]

Sorry but I don't buy it, for example the non integrated infotainment in A4 is a cheaper solution than the state of the art and patented "deco screen" integration on Alfa's dashboard, the paddles on Alfa are aluminum column mounted like supercars, where Audi has some small mounted on the wheel plastic paddles. The Air vents on Alfa have a better finish. Alfa use superior italian full grain leather on top of the line Giulia's like those with lusso package or the Quadrifoglio where Audi premium leather has a plastic feel. I've seen recently on a dealership a new A4 with an ill fitted lateral dashboard panel. I think that most are not very objective when it comes to evaluate the fit and finish of a premium german car and of an italian cars. I checked all models in the segment and all have their up and downs, and Giulia is definitely better than BMW 3 series or Jaguar XE on par with C-Class or A4, all have their peaks of excellence and their quality flaws, no perfect car. Pity that in most tests, they don't pay attention to german quality flaws, but focus on italian quality flaws, but that's not objective. If you make a serious review point by point you will see that Giulia is on par with A4 on quality, fit and finish.

[@milan5159]

Did the hairdresser not fly with you that day LOL Nice to hear you still got the MX5 how about another video on it soon? How are you doing with rust mine cost £300 in welding that old chassis leg problem! Trouble is we don't use them enough start resting from inside out

[@karlp8484]

Autoline Network (the biggest automotive channel in America) tried to road test the Alfa Giulia over a week, but couldn't do it because it had to go back to the Alfa workshop three times. This is true, I subscribe to that channel.

[@rmr5184]

Karl P yeah of course....and you are currently flying around the world in your tub isn't it?

[@karlp8484]

R Michael 46 You don't even make any sense. You most own a 1980s Alfa

[@rmr5184]

Karl P look at one of carwow's latest videos. A VAG car broke just during the test drive. I had two audis myself and really just had issues. With my actual Evoque I never had a single problem.

[@karlp8484]

R Michael. It didn't break down, it wouldn't rev past 4000 because there was something wrong with the engine management computer. Easily fixed.

[@NZsarge1]

R Michael 46 it didn't breakdown, it developed a fault but left no one stranded.

[@georgealex19]

It's a matter of taste. I would personally go for the A4 any day.... Maybe I'd get the Giulia, if I'd already have the A4 :)

[@kanchello]

I hate to hear the expression "boring car" .Cars mean to make you travel comfiest, safest, cheapest way. If you want to have exciting moments, go and hire fantastic cars that is not to be used for everyday needs. Excitement will end after 1 month even it is Alfa.After 1 month you have to deal with impracticality everyday.

[@Vampire_born_in_2006]

you need a Toyota Corolla then

[@jonathanhidalgo4591]

Please make this video again "Can Italy beat Britain's finest? Alfa Giulia Veloce vs Jaguar XE S" The Alfa is a sport sedan first and a luxury car second, the AUDI has never been about all out fun, or sporting pedigree like a Jaguar or even a BMW, of course the A4 is a more complete car with more tech and luxury, however, I personally wouldn't even consider it. I think the Alfa deserves to be compared to a car with a similar ethos/demeanor specially considering this is the first time both alfa and jag have launched a competitive car in this segment in a long time.

[@TC_83]

Alfa all day every day

[@ronshephard9429]

The Alfa every time. You just have to look at it.

[@andrefranco7485]

For those who are rational and need a car to get around with the family, a VW Passat is even better choice than the Audi. For those who like cars, like to drive and crave "good memories" to tell at the end of life, well, choice Alfa Romeo, always!

[@e7234]

i love the video, presenter is super , the only thing that i hate is the DRIVER BEING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CAR

[@ivandoe33]

Seriously, German finest in that class is A4!?! I smell some hidden sponsorship...

[@NZsarge1]

Ivan Doe Oh don't be stupid, troll somewhere else

[@ivandoe33]

and be a smart like you are when ur trolling. I hate the headline, just because of it didn't watch it and will unsubscribe. I hate vw marketing. I find other German cars better than A4 in that class.

[@NZsarge1]

Ivan Doe All good, I'm sure you won't be missed.

[@ivandoe33]

NZsarge1 does it feel good to be on vw paylist?

[@NZsarge1]

[@SuperTobbe12]

is there a manual gearbox option for the Giulia? and is it as good/fun driving as th auto?
