The new SPICY Baby Alfa Romeo! // 2024 Tonale Review

[@RigiLiquid945]

"Dagli i fagioli" - Give it the beans in Italian. Yes to PHEV's!

[@sferg3291]

Also Tonale does have a meaning, it was names after the Tonale pass. "The Tonale Pass is a well-known mountain pass located in northern Italy."

[@SarahnTuned]

Oh no way!! I’ve been there before 😂

[@haerleduyn]

Just like the Stelvio. Also a pass frequented by cyclist and motards.

Alfa deserves to succeed, and this Tonale looks to be the ticket. Alfa's design language is outstanding, each model they currently offer stands out on their own, and I thought Sarah's review showed off perfectly how well these Tonale's are styled. Misano Blue looks fantastic on these as well.

I don't see anything special about Tonale looks. In fact, it looks quite boring.

[@bob_._.]

Been a long time since I've seen a car that when you look it in the eyes, it looks right back through you.

[@FireTruck-pb7mk]

I think that about the Chevy Express/GMC Savanna so...

[@Dodong0]

We were going to get a Tonale, but after our Giulietta kicked the bucket, our dealer wasn’t very helpful during Golden Week… That made my wife mad to no end, so we ended up getting a Peugeot 308SW GT. Don’t regret the decision, but I was looking forward to having a Tonale and sticking with Alfa. Your reviews and maintenance videos are the best; definitely my favorite car channel.

[@stucook8622]

Thanks for another cool video Sarah! 🐧

[@ravencorvus67]

Those lift point covers will only irritate the first mechanic because he's going to toss them out the back door.

[@TheopolisQSmith]

That assumes Stellantis sells enough of them for more than a couple of technicians to find out about them.

[@terot8341]

no hie is not because working on customer car you can't just throw parts away.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Why would they toss them out - plenty of cars have them, and dealership technicians are trained by factory reps on how to correctly service them, including using the lift points. Maybe, a small dodgy workshop will, but when the customer comes to collect the car and does the sort of inspection a customer should do after servicing, the customer should ask 'where are the lift covers?' and with hold payment until the job has been properly completed to factory workshop specifications. Now, if ravencorvus is suggesting that they would toss them, then that's a workshop to avoid.

[@Konszky]

Except it´s part of the service, so they´ll charge you for the time it takes to remove and re-attach them...

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@Konszky That will be included in the book hours for the service. Dealships charge the hours according to the book, but how efficient the techs are, is how they make a profit - charge for an 8 hour job, but have well trained workers who can do it in 6. Correct jacking might be set at 15 minutes in the book, but an experienced worker will take 5.

[@tracker001]

Oh yes , very informative reviews , There are always a place that would be worn out if this was tape , to check out the car . It is a shade of red

I paid particular attention to the bolstering test! I also would like the rear seat cover option this car has and last, the heart attack score 9.7! 🤩

[@frankcoffey]

Can't complain with the styling inside and out it's just an attractive car and different than anything else available. Love the grille and the wheels.

[@ttinnovations3310]

love how technical and all the specification Sarah has

[@Primus54]

Italian fashion is always a win and you coordinating your fashion makes it a double win. That’s quite a vehicle for the price. It would be interesting to see what you’d do with this as an owner of one. Terrific review. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@mantarayal]

Cool car and great review as always. Sarah is one in a billion. Just such incredible content and entertainment, mixed with being a proper mechanic. And her jokes are ...fire. Outstanding.

[@deltavee2]

Quite the face on that puppy. Those triples on each side make it look really pissed. Love it. Also love the outfit matching the car which you always do so well. Just one more of many reasons to be one of the over half a million subscribers. Keep knocking them out of the park, girl. You're my favourite auto channel bar none.

According to official Alfa Romeo materials, those wheels have "telephone dial wheel design". I wonder how many people nowadays actually know what a telephone dial is, or actually used it to "dial numbers" 😂

[@paulm749]

"Time to give it the fagioli." Totally agree that a hybrid such as this Alfa is the way to go if you want to incorporate an electric drive train into your vehicle. Pure EV's just don't have all-around practicality due to their limited range and it looks like it will be some time before a mature technology is developed that will give them that capability.
