You guys could not do justice on this one. You attempted comparing Ti model with nearly double priced QV model and complaining things. And then, comparing the Ti with a GLC43 that's nearly as priced as the QV version (in practical pricing). I always thought you guys do a fair comparison. Compare this with base 4 cylinder versions of all competitors - Audi, BMW, Porsche you name it. It's hard to beat. And then compare the AMG or similary priced one with the QV version, it's hard to beat there too.

[@basil5863]

Absolutely. The Quadrifoglio is a racecar, while the veloce ti is a normal car who can go pretty fast. Totally different target group between the quadrifoglio and the veloce ti

[@Ronnet]

​@@dallatorretduthis isnt a matter of trim. The quadrifoglio is double the price at the very least, in many markets it's 2.5 times the price of a Veloce. And they're admitting the Veloce is plenty fast. Their issue is the lack of V6 sound. Their comments are made completely oblivious of what regular people pay for their cars. I bet they couldn't afford a Quadrifoglio themselves but they get to test so many sportcars that they forgot what it's like to actually having to decide and buy one of these. A rather critical skill for a car reviewer!!

[@Natethegreat200c]

Maybe I’m just mad because one cut me off the other day and literally gave my car a heart attack... My buddy had a hellcat, the charger variant, and he let me drive it. I honestly wasn’t all that impressed with the interior, I think the design is ugly and wayyy too common, it was pretty fun when I put my foot down with traction off. I felt like an asshole driving it, and unlike my Tesla, even when you turn everything off and try to enjoy the drive, you CANT, it is ALWAYS wanting to be pushed, and if you’re NOT an asshole, then you want to be able to just chill out every once in awhile.

The moment you start rating a car on its lacks you lose me (it lacks this, it lacks that, the other one has this or that). The fact that you have driven the more expensive one starts to show and you make potential buyers a tad disappointed if they can only afford the "lesser" one.. and unless companies are "suggesting" you to sell the higher trims to the viewer... I don't see the point. Judge the car on its own merits. We know you have grown a lot and we enjoy it.. but be fair.

[@litespeed65]

Because this particular Stelvio is priced at $70,000 and the Base AMG GLC 43 starts at $65,000, this places it squarely in the sights of the bigger boys. So, yet another wheezy inline 4-cylinder turbo/Buick Encore styling/Alfa reliability vs V-6 Bi turbo with 385 HP? I'm with Yuri and Jakub on this one.

[@chrisbianchi8876]

The stelvio they tested is a 4-cylinder and bases for less than the GLC 300. The 43 has a 6 cylinder and has a starting price $20,000 higher than a 4-cylinder stelvio. They're just not comprable

[@livolas]

@@litespeed65 you got your numbers wrong

[@miks564]

@@litespeed65 I'm not. The base price for the Stelvio TI in Canada is $59k. If we start loading extras to take it to 70k, like the carbon fiber package in this tested model, perhaps we should try the same exercise on the GLC. Alfa (lack of) reliability is myth just like German reliability is. As reliability is concerned, my money goes for the Alfa, nor the Merc. ...but's that's me and I put my money where my mouth is. I'm actually doing it for more than 30 years. For actual car reliability, people should try to look more into proper statistics, like the ones from rental car and leasing companies and their fleet availability statistics.

The manual 1-2 shift is easy once you get used to it. Shift at like 5k in 1st and you'll get it every time. 1st is just a really short gear and it revs very quickly.

People giving you guys a lot of heat for conparing this to the QV, i feel like they're mostly exaggerating...but i do agree with some other comments on here that, while tue video title made me really excited, the video itself felt a lot less positive Maybe it's just the editing, or maybe you guys just took for granted that we'd think that most of this car is just amazing, but it did feel like you didn't highlight the many positives as much compared to the few quirks/negatives I think it stems mostly from the QV comparisons, where imo direct competitor comparisons would've probably been more positive and given us a better view of how well this car does against its rivals. The verdict in the end could've still been "Work harder and get the QV", but it would've been more because that thing is just so amazing, not because this Ti is a letdown (at least again compared to direct rivals), which i thiiiink is more of what you guys were trying to say Still loved the vid tho, hope you have a great new year, keep them vids coming ^^

I have owned my Stelvio for four months and I love it. I previously drive a BMW 328 and a considered an X3 but it just seemed boring. My Stelvio gets stared at by people in parking lots and at the car wash.

[@bradh6185]

Is the Stelvio still doing well for you?

[@tonyvargas368]

@@bradh6185 yes it is. It’s been absolutely the funnest car I’ve ever owned. I’ve taken my Stelvio on several road trips on some windings roads and it was a blast. It’s been reliable as well. Gas mileage is decent for an SUV and I think it’s fairly comparable to my old BMW.

[@RowdyDiesel]

Well I guessed wrong on Instagram dang it 😭😭 Keep up the great work

[@DHang-fh1gp]

Own my Stelvio exactly the same trim and color as in this video for 6 months. Everytime I drive it and make a curve, I have a smirke on my face.

[@T_Laughs]

Yeah them seats look good 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@goxy287]

My country has way more expensive registration over 2.0 litres so 4cylinder is a more realistic option. We're talkin like 300 euros for a 2.0 and for that 2.9 quadrofoglio its like 1400, yearly. I mean most people are only gonna be able to afford these used anyway so. We can't have nice things here, like that sweet v6 sound

Ja vozim chrysler 300, 10 godina star.. Registracija sa tehničkim mi je 100hilj.. I dok je auto vredeo 20-30hilj ok mi je da plaćam registraciju hilj evra.. Ali za auto koji ima vrednost oko 7-8hilj da plaćaš 1000e registraciju pa nisam lud. Fenomenalan auto koji će biti prodat i vrv završiti na nekom otpadu zbog glupog zakona! Pri čemu sećam se kada su uvodili taj porez to je bilo kao porez na luksuz.. Važi, auto od 50hilj za 2.0motorom 300e, auto od 10hilj sa 3.5hij cc 1600e. Gde je tu mozak? Najskuplja i najgluplja registracija u evropi!

I believe it's more or less a common problem everywhere in Europe. Huge taxes on cars, fuel, everything, everywhere!

Aye the boys are back at it again 😤

Love the front and with the color. Looks stealthy and menacing but not over menacing

[@ilikemusic2773]

Best handling! Until the computers fail, which they will. Because, you know.. Alfa's soul.

[@KB-vu5xs]

That turbo 4 will be lucky to see 100k too. Plus for people who really want handling, they wouldn't be looking at crossovers.

[@miks564]

Keep picking your German cars and whenever they'll break, because there's a better chance they will, you will just believe it was bad luck and be happy for not having such an unreliable Italian car.

[@anthoslykos6294]

Never been a fan of the looks of this car, but that interior is hot af.

Once you drive it that all changes

[@Reecesavage-Alwayswin]

As a new dad coming from the 2014 5.0 track pack I'm surprised i love my Stelvio sport more its like the perfect DD.

[@Ianmundo]

best looking SUV ever IMO, that interior is 🔥

[@alfonsowadeyua5293]

By constantly referencing the Quadrifoglio, you fail to appreciate this model’s virtues and it robs us of an objective opinion on how it really is. Come on, Yuri, that’s not how you do a review (although you seem to have gotten over the Quadrifoglio at a point).

[@TheStraightPipes]

Hey man, it is what it is. They’re completely different cars.

[@blakemorris2328]

@@TheStraightPipes Exactly. So review THIS CAR and stop talking about the Quadrifoglio.

Great review as always. Can you guys just once do a review in the east end. Maybe the back roads of Durham region or Stouffville or something.

What an awesome looking car Merry Christmas

[@therealboofighter]

I wonder how well these will hold up over the years. I know you can’t tell from a few days with the car.

[@KB-vu5xs]

That turbo 4 likely won't see 100k and they are poorly built inside and out. They squeak and rattle from the factory, even though this review didn't show it.

[@MrChichibabin]

@@KB-vu5xs obviously no first-hand experience with one.

[@spencer1638]

BS. They have their issues but I own a Stelvio and a Giulia with 40k miles between the two of them, and 3 cross-country drives. Neither had had but a hiccup. I’m sure little things may come up here and there, and I’m not ignorant to the fact others have not been so lucky, but these broad generalizations are simply untrue.

[@KB-vu5xs]

@@spencer1638 You just "bragged" that cars with 20k miles didn't have issues, that just goes to show that not even you expect good long term reliability from them. Cars with that low mileage obviously shouldn't have issues. Get back to me when they have 200k, if they make it that far. Also, driving across country isn't really making a case for your point since highway mileage is less wear and tear.

[@MrChichibabin]

@@KB-vu5xs I don't need to test drive because I own a brand new 2020 facelift stelvio. Car before was a 159 which i had for 8 years and did 130k miles. 159 build quality and reliability was great. Perceived build quality of the Stelvio isn't as good as Germans but for equivalent spec it's much cheaper and outperforms in chassis and engine departments. Ignore list prices. E.g. Stelvio can be had with 20% discount and 2.9 % finance! No discount on a macan and finance is 6.9% that changes things a lot which reviews never touch on.

[@dogdoc1]

Thanks for the view of the engine. 👍
