🍀 Why the Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio has ruined me for anything else. 🍀

[@memo3872]

Hi Ed, nice to see you back with some nice Alfa content. I have to say the car thoroughly deserves its reputation as the best sports saloon ever made. I think Alfa have improved the programming for the brakes as my 2023 car doesn't have an issue coming to a fairly smooth stop.

[@steveong4738]

Great video. Alfa Romeo lost to BMW and Mercedes in the last 50 years. With the current dynamics (with each gen to BMW and Mercedes looking same) Alfa Romeo should dominate in next decade and beyond if it can get the reliability and quality issues in order. They are great cars for car guys.

That colour still looks special. I went to look at one last month and was surprised at how different the Quadrifoglio looked against the standard model due to the splashes of black with the carbon and vents scattered over it. These elements made the car far more less understated on the bright coloured models. My preference now would possibly be the grey colour.

This one is Montecarlo Blue. It really pops in the sun with a metallic flake in it. It’s really rare as well. The darker colours make it stealthier though my favourite is Montreal Green. Ed

It is something that we have never seen beforfe...it is simply a SUPER CAR that you can drive everyday....I mean the Germans are still trying to break its NURBURGRING record which is now 8 years OLD! Simply put... you are DRIVING HISTORY My friend... enjoy my fellow ALFISTA!

[@SKsFinestHour]

great review as always. Although, i love my sparco seats - it was an option that i was searching for on my QV, alongside yellow calipers, rosso tri-coat and HK sound system. The seats finish the car off nicely and take it closer to its racing roots imo. Also, contrary to other reviews, the seats are very comfortable and have driven in them for hours on the motorway without any issues.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Thanks. The carbon buckets are lovely. I was just stressing the point that the standard seats are good enough 99% of the time. They completely change the character of the car. But you do lose heating in the process. I have a race car already so mine will never be used on a track. Thanks for your comment as I’m sure that others will find it helpful. Ed

[@brianl7025]

Great review sir, practical real world slice of heaven.

[@lookupparagliding]

When engine cold and pulling up to lights, i move my foot an extra 0.003mm and it's like I'm suddenly slamming on. Besides that, still love my Giulia but still having issues with water getting in and sending the dash into xmas tree lights mode. Thought it would fail MOT last month for ABS light on but somehow it behaved even though it played up prior and after...... lucky me.

[@paulcarter3271]

Great to have you back Ed. Feel exactly the same about mine. Never seen anywhere near 40 mpg but mine'6 a later version. Glad I have ordinary Crise control - I've been loaned a couple of Tonales ana a Jeep Avenger that have Adaptive CC - car slows all the time including when a car overtakes 😟🏆🏁🇮🇹😊

[@Back_Road_Hero]

The self driving in later cars is crap. Mine is a nice balance. Thanks for your kind words. Ed

[@simonperks3935]

Mines my daily, average 24mpg. As for the brakes I brake down to around 4mph release and reapply , seems to work. Had buy new disc and pads this year and sometimes I think it’s expensive to run. I press the button drive and the smile is worth every penny ❤

[@RT-vh1lb]

Love your comment. Planning on getting the Stelvio QV. ❤

[@AlfaQuad72]

Great video, stunning car. Makes the morning commute a pleasure every day and weekend cruises very special. A wolf in sheep’s clothing is very accurate! A future classic, RWD, petrol powered, insane engine. Interesting comment regarding the low fuel warning, I have had the same experience and top it up before the light comes on.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

It’s truly one of the greats for those that dare. Ed

[@mikepalmer7687]

Fantastic car Ed

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Thanks Mike. It sure is. Ed

[@Gazza-zg2tr]

Best car i have ever owned im on my second one now had a Nissan GTR R35 before the Alfa believe it or not i prefer driving the Alfa,This car will put a smile on your face,i now have a 22 Montreal Green and the comments i get from people is unbeliavable one person thought it was an Irish car lol.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

I’ve had a look at a newer one but can’t justify it at the moment. Ed

[@nellyphare9846]

@@Back_Road_Hero Ed if you do eventually pull the plug and buy one get the 21/22 model as those models have the nice Alcantara interior and green and white coloured stitching, and yellow callipers which you can't get on the later models.Just plain leather on the later models which personally i don't like good luck mate.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

As luck would have it an ex demo 2023 Montreal Verde with carbon buckets has just come up at a £24k discount on new. I’m tempted! 😁

[@nellyphare9846]

@@Back_Road_Hero Hi Ed a little tip i personally would go for a 21/22 Model Montreal Green as the spec on these year models have the Yellow brake callipers and the green and white stitching with alcantara which you can't get on the 23 /24 models, which have boring normal leather upholstery up to you just saying good luck.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Thanks. It was registered in Feb ‘23 but I think it’s actually a ‘22 model. Has the green and white stitching, sparcos, exposed carbon roof. Looks like grey callipers though.

[@Justin-in-the-wilderness]

2 months in 3.5k miles later and I’m in love 😍. Averaging 36mpg and of course when you choose to release the 500 stallions it’s a weapon. Thanks for sharing great review 🥇

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Glad to see someone else seeing the MPG figures. Nobody seems to believe me here. 😂😂😂 Ed

[@carloslewis8448]

Excellent video ❤

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Thank you. Ed

[@Gazza-zg2tr]

Also Ed just to give you the heads up if i was you i would use Super Unleaded as my local Alfa Dealer told me they have had problems with the engine on two customers using the reguler Unleaded.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

I run mine on super now after @matarmstrong blew up his Audi in the US using low octane fuel. Ed

[@michelfauteux4500]

Very eloquent sir! Enjoy!

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Thank you kindly! Ed

[@Schaufelor]

Unfortunately in Germany, a fully comprehensive insurance is very expensive for this vehicle (much more than c63 amg for example) Is it the same in the UK? I don´t really understand why it is that expensive.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

I’m not sure of the others but mine costs me about €800 per year.

[@riccccccardo]

I’d love to afford an Alfa q as a 2nd car.

[@Back_Road_Hero]

It was my daily driver for 3 years. I inherited my Range Rover.

[@xtadeus4777]

Thx for thé vidéo. I have a RS3 Sportback and would liké to change before my government forces me into electric ... 1) BMW M3 Competition facelift (LCI) 2) Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifolio facelift 3) Audi RS5 Compétition At this Time, alfa is the n°1 choice in my mind. Daily use, hurry dad 😎🍾

[@THEBUFUMAN.]

Breaking is not that cool on this car. I will try it with N. Thx

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Let me know how you get on. It was a revelation for me. Ed

[@simonBAGL]

Go buy a 2024 Giulia Quadrifoglio with the new diff!

[@Back_Road_Hero]

Funny you should say that I was looking at a 2022 in Montreal Verde but can’t pull the trigger for the almost £30k it would take me to change. Ed
