🍀 New Car Day! Buying my 'new' Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. 🍀

I fell in love with this car over a year ago but it was beyond my reach at the time. As an ex-demo however it's a completely different story. Welcome to my second Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.

No, Giulia (Type 952) continues into next year. Sales now ended only for North America. Anyway congrats and kudos to Unity and you disclosing the sponsorship! P.S. You have the real Verde Montreal tricoat 646, not the new pretend Montreal metallic 398 in the market since c.April 2024.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Thanks for the clarification. I’ve pinned this post so others can read it. Yes it’s the full tri coat and just gorgeous. It had to be this colour for me. Ed

[@nessuno5403]

@@Back_Road_Hero nice shirt too 🤪

[@fuhrerpolizei86]

Is 398 the Verde Fangio? If yes it's market specific. I can't get that in Singapore. Only the Montreal

[@rcglitch1467]

I didn't know there was a different Verde Montreal colour since April 2024, thank you for the info. Is there a noticeable difference between 646 coat and 398? I am in the market for the green Giulia Quadrifoglio and if it comes to Verde Montreal, in flesh I have only seen Alfa Romeo Tonale in this colour. I don't know what model year it was, but the colour looked stunning.

[@nessuno5403]

@@rcglitch1467 well, the new Giulia green is the same as the Tonale's. If you like it already, you won't have a problem! But the tri-coat was a Quadrifoglio exclusive and the same used on the GTA. For a comparison, look at Ron's Rides video reviews.

The best sports sedan is M5cs! But this one is really good.

I’m so pleased you have got that car! I love the colour. You may have just stopped me making a terrible mistake. I love the Bentley GT but I’m scared about the maintenance costs. I’m looking for something, my last ever car purchase, that’ll give me that zing! Never once considered an Alfa but now I will. I’m ex pilot (soon to click over into a decade beginning with a 7) from way back (first solo in a Piper Cub) then continued training on the Tiger Moths. Ended up flying more than 100 types in all sorts of situations. That’s given me the passion I have. Love your car! Thank you….. John

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Hi John. It’s not an ultimate luxury car but they’ve spent the money where it counts. Engine and chassis. If you see carbon fibre anywhere on this car then it’s the real stuff and not fake. What it does have is ‘soul’ and like you I want to buy something now to keep. Ed

[@simongl1985]

I am so happy for you mate🎉. Hopefully in the near future when I buy my Giulia qv I can come and meet you and we can go for a drive😊

Strange but my wife bought me this before I knew the car was for sale. Matches perfectly. I call it fate. 😁🍀

[@memo3872]

A nice "surprise" indeed! Perhaps you haven't gone mad after all? One has to see Montreal Verde in the metal to appreciate how lovely it is. Not quite enough to sway me from Etna Rosso but close.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

First time I saw it I was in love with the colour. Matches the green Quadrifoglio badges and the snake in the logo perfectly. Better in person than on TV I have to say. Ed

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Very nice! Ed

[@michaelshaw849]

This is the green cousin to my Rosso GTA. The Rosso GTA and Montreal Verde are the two best colours of these cars in my opinion. If I was to buy another it would be in this colour. Similar story to my car, mine sat in the showroom for about 8 months, but I picked mine up with only 70 km and a big discount.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Patience is a virtue. But also I couldn’t afford it so that made the decision an easy one. 😂😂👍🍀

[@RubraLIber]

Another Giulia QV. Yours is a beautiful addiction, congratulations. As beautiful as that green Montreal, I think there is only the city it takes its name from. Sooner or later we too will get a Giulia here, not the QV unfortunately, but I would certainly settle for a blue 210 HP diesel with tobacco interior. Here in Italy there are exaggerated taxes for cars over 250 HP and fuel is very expensive, I think the annual ownership tax alone for a QV is around €5000-6000. Enjoy it for us too Ed

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Thank you very much!

[@sotirisbakaimis3276]

my best wishes for nice drives!!! I am the owner of a 2.2 diesel, but the QV is in a league of it's own....the best sports saloon in the world by far, really far far away....!

Thank you. 🙏 Ed

[@historymythslegends]

I would do the same if I could. Thank you for buying Alfa.

[@keithshayle7027]

I have liked and subscribed not because this is the sort of car I would buy, I have a Genesis Electrified G80 coincidentally also around £85k when I bought it virtually two years ago, and apart from being a four door saloon it's completely different in that it's an EV luxury saloon trying to offer the refinement of a Rolls Royce with looks a bit like a Bentley. When I first saw the car I was as smitten as you with the Alfa, and to me the Genesis is the best car ive owned and thats coming from a Maserati Ghibli albeit diesel but an excellent car that i owned for seven years from new, and prior to that twenty years of various Jaguars. Whilst very different requirements in what we want from a car, I certainly recognise the genuine pleasure in getting what is your dream car. I hope you have many years of happy ownership, and I look forward to your next videos!

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Thank you. It’s a passion that we all share. I love that every person has that perfect car for themselves. New car days are always exciting. I just hope that this one lives up to my expectations. Ed

[@anthonyboey3210]

@@Back_Road_Hero it is known fact that Italian cars are not known for their reliability. Maybe the new Alfa Romeo’s have corrected their problems with reliability. Ask any car owners who have had Alfa’s , especially the older ones, majority of them have claimed that their Italian cars have spent more time in the shop than on the road being driven. They are beautiful cars to drive, but have been historically plagued with reliability issues. Maybe the latest models have corrected those issues. But getting servicing parts for them when needed, especially in North America will probably not be cheap.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

It’s a very sweeping statement that you make without first hand experience. My Alfas have been no more unreliable than my German or British ones over the years. The Japanese might have an edge though. If you don’t take the odd risk in life then it can be a little dull. I prefer to treat every day as it’s my last.

[@anthonyboey3210]

@@Back_Road_Hero definitely see your point. Same thing for die hard Range Rover or jaguar owners , why do they love their cars so much even though it probably spends more time in the shop than driving it? Because it’s a Range Rover or it’s a jaguar. For these folks , same reason as yours , they would rather enjoy the opportunity to drive something “special” than to drive a Japanese car just for reliability reasons. The Alfa Romeo G definitely is a one of a kind super sports car that will put a smile on your face driving it , even if it does turn out to potentially have mechanical/electrical reliability problems.
