*FIRST DRIVE* OF MY NEW ALFA ROMEO GIULIA QUADRIFOGLIO!

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

Glad everyone’s liking my new car 🔥 I’ve got loads planned for it so make sure you’re subscribed and if you’re on Insta give me a follow @calvinscardiary keep up to date with my daily stuff 👌👌

[@woody555kl]

Traction.........where were going we dont need traction👌🤣

[@waynecoles4059]

Not sure why you would want to tune a car like this unless you're going to be driving it around Brands Hatch.

[@ajh5552]

@@waynecoles4059 I'm with you on this one Wayne. You can't put the power down now, so tuning it is only going to make it worse and spoil this excellent car straight out of the box. Just drive it and enjoy it mannn. It is also good to see something different to a BMW on your channel Calv. 👍 Every car you tune, you spoil the enjoyment of driving it because it becomes undriveable. Then the next thing is..... It's sold.

[@bibby65]

Love the car,the one frustrating thing is you can only have that beautiful exhaust sound in race mode,ok in summer,not ok on winter roads..

[@markc6030]

AHM do a remote exhaust kit, gives you the noise in any mode, plus you can then keep it in Dynamic and really enjoy. Works a treat on my Stelvio quadrifoglio, AHM aren't too far from London Calvin 😉

[@Nick-vp7lp]

The giulia is hands down the best handling car I've ever driven. I went for the Veloce, but would have had a QV had my job not changed. They are a work of art, I always turned back to look after I parked it. Shame Alfa don't support their dealer network. Enjoy her Calvin, you look like your buzzing!

[@Eyeball1975]

First Alfa review ever that doesn't use the word "passion" or "soul"! Sweet sweet car, those seats are mint.

[@fozpringle1]

Normally car journalists trying too hard to describe an Italian car... its a bit cliche now though

[@peteb3091]

"Just a bit deeper, open up the flaps" LOL

[@Irvysan]

That's what she said 😂

[@user-kr6si1pl7v]

Loll

[@mattyrab3477]

Brilliant lol

[@carlkeig5640]

😂😂 just killed me with that one 🤣🤣💪👌

[@sixty94lyf]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@paulk5242]

you know a cars class when the only thing you could possibly critisize is the noise of the turning signals😂

[@mikemds8055]

First thing I noticed 😂

[@willpark7483]

Funny you should say that as when my dad got his Giulia his only criticism was the indicators were too quiet 😂

[@turkeyman345]

Agree with you Calvin I've driven quite alot of them as I work for an alfa specialist and I still can't get over the steering feeling.. its amazing !

[@turkeyman345]

Calvin please do a video on that mustang you're selling would be a great laugh.. looks like a right beater hhahahhaa

[@zainmahmood770]

Love how postive calv is in negative situation everyone in top guy man

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

🙏🏼👊🏼

[@MrDallman]

It’s “Monica Bellucci “with four wheels.....No need to modify this car ; it’s a case of “ Less is more “ , there is nothing more beautiful than a pure unaltered machine. 510 BHP is plenty IMHO and also as a guy who has just bought one. Bellisimo

[@colinward1007]

Has it broken down yet?

[@andyparsley3744]

Do not ruin it with pops and bangs cars deserves better.

[@TommoDobbo-dp1gu]

💯

[@burville100]

Calvin's gone all 'Six Underground'

[@shanecolton3500]

The GRIN on my face watching this is mad!! Who thought a virtual spin in a car would be so much fun lol....seriously they are one car I love, I near missed my flight home from the Frankfurt motor show cuz I stood to long in the queue to getting sitting in the Giuliatta QV in 2016! :)

[@robquattro5419]

You seem genuinely happier about this car than you have in previous videos with other cars you’ve owned (that I’ve seen anyway) such a humble and down to earth guy keep it up Calv 👍🏼

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

Thanks for that comment Rob 🙏🏼

[@TheBitOfDust1]

I changed the Pirelli’s to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on my Giulia QV and it absolutely transformed the car, minimal wheel spin, properly hooks up now. For the rear fit 295/30 19 and for the front 245/35 19, enjoy! Phenomenal car.

[@jamestatters520]

I’m so glad you eventually got one of these... it’s so nice to see something different! Gotta be honest... I was getting a little bored with all the BMWs although they are nice, once you’ve seen one you pretty much know what they are all about. Now this new motor is absolutely stunning! 👌🏽

[@chipbutty4460]

I enjoy your videos. Informative , interesting and honest (and no unnecessary swearing). Great stuff.

[@daisychain2540]

First Alfa since the old school spider I’ve really wanted to. Own! Watch this space.... beautiful looking car! Design wise Alfa have created another masterpiece

[@grantorr5434]

Watched so many of your videos.. I’ve never seen u this happy about a car before. Love it!!

[@ryancaunce3142]

Totally agree with the steering thing noticed it with a car I used a valet in cambridgeshire the precision was unreal

[@jonny2legs77]

Massively underrated car. M3/m4/m5 is the usual choice. You can see how much you genuinely like this car

[@richardtaylor7411]

“This car is staying” 😂😂🥰

[@BLahBLahBLahBLah584]

No BMW mercedes or Audi/vag will look as nice as this Alfa Romeo, it's beautiful

[@ryanlilley2214]

Nice car that calv I have to admire your attention to detail your a perfectionist wth your motors

[@phillwhite1531]

my favorite M5 killer/replacement.. Loving this Calvin... Gorgeous mate

[@stephenlongfield8492]

Only just got mine, I had the f82 M4 beforehand and this Giulia QV just feels so much more special

[@dacads]

Thanks Calvin, an underrated car for sure

[@rugbyjem47]

Seems a mint car Calvin would be interesting to see how you get those carbon seats heated

[@adrianchiu8415]

Strip em down and add aftermarket heater elements in and maybe add the factory heated seat switch if possible.

[@fozpringle1]

Not that difficult for someone who knows how to strip seats down

[@155andRising]

The Giulia shares quite a lot more with Ferrari. Phillipe Krief was drafted from Ferrari as head engineer for the Giulia and he’s stated that the Giulia dynamics are modelled on the 458 Speciale , everything from the steering to the suspension geometry to under body aero

[@silestanix]

well done Calvin, congratulations bud.

[@charlespinner2963]

One of your best vids, love the way you talk the small stuff (clicks of the controls lol) us petrolhead totally get that. Editing as always on point. Top man keeping em coming and keep safe. peace!

[@simoncolvin81]

Omg!!i had those accelra phi tyres on a 200bhp mondeo and they were plain dangerous in the wet god knows how bad that would be on your car! Its gorgeous!!! Love it!!

[@glennquagmire6902]

Can’t wait to see the gains from VRS 🚗 💨 💪🏻

[@Matt-go7ss]

Autolusso are the people in the know around those parts....

[@savithrireddy9512]

Send it to imran evolve.. or wrench studios Calvin's wasting his time with will at vrs

[@23Piccolina]

You bought the right car dude. These new Giulia's are masterpieces. You have the big engine, I have the 2.0 Veloce. All of them are very cool. Congrats!

[@russellclark1978]

Beautiful motor Calvin. The "thinking man's" sports saloon. Would 100% rather have a Guilia QV over a Bimmer or any other German alternative 😎

[@theoriginalforzafever5216]

What a car! This sounds amazing! Great work Calvin! Stay safe and have fun with this BEAST🔥🔥

[@peterbennpan7288]

Whats that air freshener like you got in your car? Any good can you smell it all the time or just wiffs here and there?

[@lewisbluck1047]

I’d recommend Celtic tuning for all Alfa tuning it’s what they specialise in bud they have two for there fleet demo cars and they have global dealers 👌

[@Anton-dc3lg]

Just shocking bloody well built car and the most honest KZbinr ! Calvin keep doing and coming with this interesting content 🙌

[@zxgeorger]

Went from a M3 comp to a brand new GTR Recaro have I made a mistake not considering one of these? Always love these as well but never driven one. 🤔

[@type1krush205]

Hi, as an avid viewer may I suggest that you maybe test drive all your future REAR wheel drive monsters in the dry as it's not really getting the best out of the car ?

[@r5gtturbo197]

I once had a really nice Alfa 156 love Alfa’s

[@Biddelyburr]

It's great you've got one of these calv, I thought the Giulia might get lost in the sea of C63's and M3's on the road. I've always wanted a C63 but after watching your last 2 videos I think a Giulia will definitely need to be test driven before I commit!

[@chrisdrives_]

I've always loved these. Can't afford the QV but I'm saving for a Veloce at the moment.

[@ridingdigital]

Specced perfectly mate, been looking for months for one to this exact options set and it's nearly impossible!

[@fatgoose8983]

I have this car.. Tri coat rosso Sparco seats Red calipers Love it. Puts a smile on my face everyday I drive it. It's something special. Many people don't get it..

[@garethedwards2883]

I totally agree with you Calvin the car design is a thing of beauty and it goes/sounds really well 👍👍

[@woody555kl]

That little giggle just as your booting it tells you everything 👍. cant afford one of these but i have been looking at a veloce, 2ltr 280bhp seems pretty decent for a daily/commuter

[@Nick-vp7lp]

I had one and yes it is. All the power you need in reality. You can use it all.

[@mbarn]

Congrats getting it. I had to get the 2l version as didn’t have the cash for the quad. I’ve had loads of nice cars, but the Alfa just feels different in a great way. The quad is a completely different league. Look forward to more videos on it.

[@raymondk.hessel4809]

Hehe, carbon or seat- and wheel heating is a difficult choice! Once you saw these carbon seats you need to have them, though they don´t have memo function neather. But stil, once you see them, you really want to have them in your QV. I finaly decided for the normal seats because i love heated stearing wheel and seats, but mostly because i don´t want to adjust me seat again after my wife drives the car.. Man, have fun with your QV, take care driving it and keep it! Thanks alot for your video it´s so authentic an realy great to watch you having fun with the car!! Greetz from germany

[@iandaw2363]

Top vid from a top fella always look forward to seeing the latest vid

[@lesleythobeka]

I understand your point calvin, but when that car was launched, the m3 was how many years old already? Hence most of the time i compare this car with the m3cs as they where both released at the sametime. A manufacturer had time to study and respond to its competitors.

[@ro63rto]

Love the colour. Alfa always does a special colour for their top models. For example, my favourite is Rosso Miro on the 156 GTA

[@beastman.330]

This car will be a future high end classic. You should keep this car for a long time. I sold my 87 AUDI UR QUATTRO which i regret .

[@sparko2012]

What's the air freshener you have hanging off the rear view mirror mate?

[@Matt-go7ss]

The new Michelin crossclimate 4s get amazing reviews on tyre reviews for new tyres. Good in the cold and wet as well as summer.....💪

[@azamchaudhri]

They are not available in the quadrifoglio tyre sizes. Checked earlier

[@Matt-go7ss]

@@azamchaudhri ahh. Didn't know that 👍

[@azamchaudhri]

@@Matt-go7ss yeah the quadrifoglio is a bit hard getting tyres for anyway because the rears are 285/30/19. So for example the excellant ps4s by Michelin is not available.

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

@@azamchaudhri I’ve just discovered this myself as well. Interesting topic.

[@azamchaudhri]

@@CalvinsCarDiary yeah Calvin, we alfsti chat about it all the time. Personally I have put winters on the car, the Michelin Alpin as I don't think any other tyre can cope in the cold with that power even in A mode. Oh and BTW just say Quad in the vids if you like when referring to the car. Enjoy. ☺️

[@johngrant8533]

4:00 alfa must have blown the budget on the rest of the car so settled for the indicator sound from Ford Sierra

[@jrud5476]

How's the M3 touring build going?

[@darkbassi5911]

Just a genuine good lad who likes cars, sums up Calvin 🙌🏽

[@iarduousgod6909]

I have seen a couple and one other with this spec, literally everything you have and it’s based in Greater Manchester, comes to our garage and we do work on it but don’t tune as we don’t get involved with that. Very good looking and very nice cars, just in my opinion, it’s literally a perfect car! 💯💥

[@willpark7483]

The sound is so unique 😍

[@a12sdj]

About time you bought a decent car. I bought the Stelvio Quad 2 years ago. No better car on the road. As you say it makes you smile every time you drive it. Same engine as yours but 4 wheel drive and ceramic brakes they make a huge difference. Make sure you get them fitted if you decide to tune it. It’s a handful at 5oo hp god knows what extra hp will do to the rear tyres on yours. I have Michelin sports they only last 8000 on the rear. Interested to follow your journey. If Will does a decent job I may follow you to VRS. Do your tyres jump when cold at low speed? Mine do and it annoys the hell out of me. Well done bet you feel smug when you pull up next to an M3 or 4 they are sooooo slow of the mark. Welcome to the club best drivers car on the road by a mile

[@jimmyking1205]

Are those tyres Accellera PHI'Rs? Iv got a set of those on my Clio RS 220 their not the best cold but on a dry day after some healthy driving they do get quite sticky to be fair to them. Bit of BHP difference between the 2 mind 👍🏼

[@Andylindley1000]

Didn't see this coming... love it. Cant wait for the future episodes. 👍🏻🏎

[@nickbathie99]

How’s the m3 touring getting on? Vid update? 😀

Whats your opinion on build quality calvin, especially inside the cabin the way the paddle wobbled when you pulled on it didnt look too clever and looked like it didnt change when you pulled it, not hate its a beautiful car just interested in your opinion bro?
