This Alfa Romeo Drove 400,000 Kilometers With NO Problems!

[@rafcoolen3104]

Hello, im the owner of the 400 000 km car. Im from Belgium and travel a lot in Holland, Germany for my job. The blue car in the picture is not my car, it's a grey september 2016 Giulia Super 2.2 diesel 180 HP. I can assure honestly that this car has done 400 000, and whitout any problem. Just very normal maitenance. I can send pictures of the service record book, so You can see for yourself. I had an Alfa 159 Sportwagon before, and have done 450 000 with it, also without trouble and normal care. Everyone who doesent take this seriously can contact my dealer. Forza Alfa Romeo!!!

[@fulviovalenziano4579]

Exactly. Before the 2 Stelvio I had 4 Alfa 156 JTD and only the first one suffered from a premature waste gate valve failure. After fixing that in didn’t show any more problems. And it was the first gen of common rail diesels. The others did an average of 200k km with no issues at all. And that was the time when everybody was claiming the superior reliability of German cars ...

Hi Raf. Can I ask... did you get your car serviced at a main dealer or at an independent garage? Also, how often/how many miles/KMs did you get oil and filters changed? Thank you!

[@fastcargtv6]

I've been driving Alfa Romeos for more than 28 years now, covering over 1.2M kms with them. All of them was over 10 years by the time I have purchased them except an Alfa 33 which we bought at age of 3 but had it for only a year beacause my ex have traded it to a Chrysler LeBaron Cabrio. The others mostly V6 models of 80's GTV6 and Alfa 164s. There was a few years when I did 60-80T kms a year not to mention other cars I drove beside mine's. V6 Alfa 164s did over 300-350T kms with the original clutch and had no serious issues in any other terms as well. The GTV6 I used the longest had over 460T kms in its tacho when I realized that one of the piston rings must fail, so we decided about an engine rebuild. Unfortunately a shy 10T kms later it died in an accident, but it saved our life, so my 7-year old daughter and me left the wreck without any injuries. Over that 28 years I had only 2 occasion when I didn't get home in my car. One was a faulty, aftermarket half-shaft joints which failed a thousend km after its installation and as we were 300 kms far from home I didn't take the risk to return on its own feet. The other occasion was an alternator failiure which wasn't obvious as the charge error light did not lit on the dashboard but when the battery was close to deplate different error messages popped up on the display reporting ESP-system, then ABS-system failiure finally the lights started to go down and obviously it has happened at night. I know many German car owner who would be glad with the statistic I have, sad for them they had 1-4 serious stops over the first 100T kms with their cars.

I can believe this. My two Alfas have been very reliable so far, and more so than either my: 911, AMG or S5 Audi, all of which gave me trouble even though they were still under factory warranty.

Alfa Romeos are now very reliable. Probably even more reliable than german Audis or BMWs. Potential buyers should know that Alfa Romeos are the best possible choice on the market.

[@ConstantineJoseph]

Alfas which are under the FCA group are literally developed by Ferrari. The research and money placed into the Giulia is outstanding along with Ferrari intellectual property and expertise in building well made cars is literally embodied in a sedan version. As we all know the modern Ferrari of this recent decade are much sturdier and well manufactured giving a much higher reliability than before due to the advent of advanced materials that has greater durability. It is also expected of luxury owners that they want a car that has it all, including durability of use with high performance. Ferrari is at the pinnacle. Chevrolet isn't and fiat isn't reliable at all. So when Ferrari developed Alfa's sedans, you're going to get the DNA of precision, well built cars that were designed to take punishment and also be hassle free as Long as you don't get in an accident. I think that is a lot they are offering. A well taken care of Alfa romeo today will last for sometime just like Ferraris and the price point is perfect for enthusiasts

I’m driving my second Stelvio diesel 210hp and I love it to every bit. With the first one I did around 100k miles with just one issue: I had occasional warnings from the engine board computer advising to take the car to the service. It turned out to be caused by poor quality of the AdBlue additive. As soon as I payed attention to the brand of this liquid I never had issues again. No oil consumption (ask VW group owners what their engines are like on this regard) and no other care apart from filling up with windscreen washer liquid. My colleagues with the so reliable German cars suffered from many issues, like leakage of engine coolant,, oil consumption, failure of the braking pads usage sensors and so on. One with a brand new Q5 had an engine problem that led to the service “limping” at 20 miles an hour. And it took 2 weeks to understand the issue. Four of us chose the Stelvio and had no issues. So what? Are we still convinced that Germans do it better ?

Alfa has been super reliable for over a decade. Before that they were no worse than the rest. I have no idea where all the reliability nonsense came from. I've owned 6 Alfa since my first in the 90s which was a 75 Veloce and everyone of them has been reliable. It's a real shame that so many sheep missed the opportunity to drive a Busso engined Alfa Romeo.

You can get a suitable grade if oil that will 20k miles / 30k kilometres for that engine. Additionally the gearbox should have been serviced annually. I use Fuchs Titan rated for 40,000 miles in a van that I drive 700-1000 miles per week. It’s 9 years old and still going strong with 250k miles.

Yes in did, and I have/had 4 of them (1.3mjet, 1.6mjet, 2.0mjet). But also have 2 petrol from FCA (1.4tjet, 20vTurbo) and they are way way better. If mpg is not a problem, diesel is no solution at all. Beside, the guilia 2.0 turbo as plenty of torque and a good mpg also. Diesel with adblue, DPF, EGR are very problematic for city use.

How the hell did someone drive that many kilometers in a car that is not even old?

[@TonySopeano46]

Alfa Romeos are even unreliable at being unreliable lol.

[@aleksandarangelov2423]

My car is 475,000km

[@chrisjebenian4156]

There’s no spark plus in diesels

[@teamcrosby7920]

Not fair to say and boring....w123 1981 Mercedes 300d non turbo 455,000 miles until it was taken away in an accident....but it still ran after that.

The pictures are of a UK registered right hand drive car, with a KM/H speedometer?? Doesn't add up, UK cars would have MPH.

[@geertvannieuwenhuyze7545]

The car is from Belgium! Left hand. Below you can read the reaction of the owner.

This entrepreneur, is he an uber driver? 400k km is really a lot of drive time since purchase

[@RonsRides]

Haha thats a good observation. Apparently he was very vague in his post so that could be the case.

[@fulviovalenziano4579]

Rons Rides actually it’s not so difficult to do that mileage if you travel every day around the country. For my job I do around 5k miles a month. That makes around 60k a year plus an extra mileage for personal use and holidays, if I’m not traveling by plane. So in three year, which is the standard rental period for company cars I do on average 200k miles which is not far from that figure .....

[@miks564]

It didn’t changed my mind about Alfa reliability, because I prefer FCA brands, specifically FPT products for their mechanical reliability. I’m the kind of driver that pushes the engine almost every single day, I don’t trust any brand to put up with my driving style.

[@skliwnala981]

Diesel's don't have spark plugs

[@rueben44]

Wait don't you work at a dealership? Don't you have any insight about common issues and or fixes to offer? I mean come on we all know better.

[@wilbertbenjamin]

That’s impossible! Do you really mean 4000 kil

[@RonsRides]

Nope, 400,000...just seems crazy.

[@wilbertbenjamin]

@@RonsRides Bought a 328 and I was working on it more then I drove it!!

[@captainculpeper1250]

Alfa has not been in USA for over 20 years... New modem electronics and technology.. How can you predict reliability from the past so long ago on a completely new machine!!

[@captainculpeper1250]

@footballcoreano the reliability issues were old Alfa Romeos from decades ago.... The tech back then was insignificant to what the modem world brings. Alfa left the states for decades and just returned recently with these new platform sedans and SUV's... The reliability issues of a car manufacturer decades ago is not the same 30 years later... Until it's fairly tried and tested...

[@misagh9]

Did you edit this video in alfa Dealership waiting for your car to get fixed?

[@misagh9]

@footballcoreano Iol How much do you still owe on your alfa? I spend my money on real estate and stock, you spend your money on crappy car.

[@captainculpeper1250]

You have to be extremely narrow minded to assume since Alfa Romeo had poor reliability issues decades ago... it will be now.
