WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY ALFA ROMEO

[@rmjmotoring]

The 2.0T engine and ZF transmission is solid with proper maintenance, like any other car. Most of the issues were relays or small electrical, that can all be updated. These things with the radiator issue, was resolved with the update in 2019-2020 and newer models. Solid car and fun chassis to drive.

The best all around sedan under $30k. Put close to 30k miles on mine in 1 year. Alfa knows how to build an engaging automobile.

These cars are very easy to work on...one of the easiest (lots of room...smart design) and I have had a lot of cars!

[@importpro1334]

Right! I was very surprised when I got mine. Granted I haven’t done any work in the engine bay, put pretty straight forward.

[@MandoMartinezJr2]

Beautiful car bro! I actually just purchased a 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia. Weirdly the sprint that i bought came with paddle shifters and the big nice red ventilated bolster-sport seats. Mine is also white with black accents and she drives like an absolute ballerina I was going to go with the TI but the TI didn’t have the paddle shifters or the ventilated sport seats like my sprint did I thought that was weird like it should be the other way around so I went with the one I got but I’m happy. Much love bro

[@importpro1334]

Thanks bro I appreciate. Yea you can add the paddle shifters to any model actually you can buy them on eBay pretty easy to install just got to be coded in the system.

Alfa Romeo's are actually extremely reliable according to my research. I found an article where they've done a Independent reliability and customer satisfaction study on different makes of cars, they've found that Alfa-Romeo has received a higher score than German rivals like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, even cars like Honda, Subaru, and Toyota were lower down the list. Alfa-Romeo's are a car brand you should buy with your heart. One last mention on your review, that bubbles in your rear window film, it's because the wrong thing was used, because a rear window is curved a different type window film is used than the side windows. A heat gun is used do soften the window film and it can be formed and shaped according to the curvature of the window (so the rear window film are more elastic and stretchable than the side windows). I can't afford the Giulia yet, but I plan to opt for the Giulietta (like that hero car that pulled down that plane in the Fast and Ferious movie). I'm a super Alfa-Romeo fan.

Good video. I’ve had no problems with my 2019 Stelvio (the SUV cousin) w/30k…yes, watch that battery and keep it topped up with the good fuel and you should get many enjoyable miles out of it 👍🏻

[@trevorsutherland5263]

I have 2017 Giulia and the wastegate arm problem (ongoing---waiting for a cheap fix), had the plastic coolant plug fail (grrr...$500 because a piece of plastic failed), and my AC compressor died at 6 years. I'm at 100K miles, about to change the plugs (for the 2nd time), brake pads (first time), oil chg (every 5K using only Mobil1/Pennzoil), aaannnd that's about it. No rattles, no squeaks, leather dash not lifted (I use conditioner once a year), leather seats not a bruise (unlike cheap GM leather in my 2014 Corvette that bruised in less than a year). Imho, not a Camry, but WAY more reliable than a Benz; but not quite as reliable as a 2.0 BMW or Audi with the EA888.

[@jesusmalverde612]

I have a 2012 c250 . Hardly any issues. Has a sun roof and I installed an apple android play screen with clear back up camera I feel like I'm going to downgrade by getting this car. Good thing I didn't get it before watching this video

[@importpro1334]

Hmmm I haven’t heard about that problem yet. What mileage did you get your car at?

[@Rmainconnect]

Have a 2019 ti sport that has been flawless. I have it dealer serviced and only drive it hard 1 or twice a week.

[@yuribezmenovwasright5625]

Same spec, mines Alpha red though. I have the black rims and full glass top. Love , love it. Mines a 2019. So have most kinks been worked out in 2019?

[@importpro1334]

Yea I heard the 2017/2018 models have a lot more issues. I guess us 2019 up got some small updates/fixes.

[@yuribezmenovwasright5625]

Also , are you doing your own oil and does it require a reset in the computer. Getting ready for intake and muffler delete.

[@importpro1334]

Yea I have done my own oil change, super simple and easy. You do have to reset the light with a scanner. Bit annoying but it’s nice to have the program you need (multiscan) is only $60 for a year.

[@travisbenck9536]

Good video I will definitely look into this stuff when I buy one, what made your brake job so difficult?

[@importpro1334]

Ah yea I forgot to mention that. Long story short you need to disconnect the battery when doing break service or it will throw a bunch of codes on the car. And to clear them you either have to have the Delaer do it or you got to buy a scanner, multiscan ECU program, adapter & bypass if you have 2019 and newer car. It’s definitely annoying but if you plan on keeping the car it’s nice to have them to do other simple things like reset your oil light and monitor systems.

[@sicilianstyle4517]

What spoiler do you have? It looks sick. Also looks a bit bigger than the OEM QV style spoiler. I also have a white Giulia with the black roof and window trim and I love the styling you did to yours. I wanted to get a CF spoiler, CF mirror caps, and CF V-grill on the front. But maybe going gloss black for all these parts would match better. Also want to powder coat my 5-hole wheels satin black or gunmetal.

[@importpro1334]

I’m not sure what spoiler tbh I got the car with it on already. Idk carbon and gloss black is a hard pick 😂
