Mine is 2016 2,2 diesel and have almost 183000 miles. I'm the owner for about 4 years now and only issues a have was EGR cooler at 140000 miles and electronic hand brake wiring was snapped. Suspension, arms and bushings is still all original. Overall it is the best car that I own and my next car will still be Giulia. I just cant find a saloon car with such good driving dynamics. And yes peoples still thinking about Alfas like it was 30 -40 years ago. But if you look other brands what kind issues they or still have Alfas are actually really reliable among modern cars.
@@ItaliaAutos looking for used Giulia so i have question, finding on italians forum that giulias have problems with o ring on oil pump , droping oil pressure and can destroy engine, so is this serious problem or not because i want this car so much. Its about 2,2 jtd engine
I have a 2015 petrol multiair giulietta with 125000 on the clock. I had to change the multiair unit when I bought the car at 44000 but since it hasn't missed a beat
@@generationx227 yes the same problem was on Giuliettas and 159 (here I'm little mad on Alfa, because they could easily fix this on Giulias) The first symptom is oil pressure warning on cold start. If you fix this immediately no harm is done. On RWD Giulias is quite easy to remove oil pan and replace this O-ring, but on Q4 is a lot of work. But the other problem is also bolts on oil pump housing get loose and from there you can have potential oil pressure issues. But if you fix this immediately there will be no harm in engine. Mine have 183000 miles and didn't have this issue yet.
I own a Stelvio, bought 2 year's old with 24.000 km now 3 years later 75.000 km. Only thing i had an issue with is a leak from the rear outputshaft from the transmission that's sweating. Thats going to be a pain to repear but it such a incredible car to drive and realy underappreciated by manny people. nice work on all the cars you do and thanks for the great content
My Mrs has a 2014 Giulietta JTDM-2 and its fantastic. It's ticked over 165,000 miles and the only thing it really needed were a new set of clutches for the TCT gearbox at 149,000. Currently chasing an issue of suspension knock when going over bumpy roads, changed the wishbones and links but the noise is still there. Any ideas?
A little bit of rust and of course the UK rust is an issue in the UK an oil leak well we have a seven year old Suzuki Baleno with only 78000 kilometres on it much less than 700000 odd miles but there is nothing wrong with it after all Suzuki's are more reliable than any European or British built cars but Toyota's are more reliable than anything except for Mazdas Hondas Lexuses and Suzuki's actually in the same factory in India they make the Toyota Starlet which is a rebadged Suzuki Baleno and l own a 27 year old Toyota Hilux no rust issues at all and l live in Australia were cars don't rust that much and Alfa Romeo's are a rare sight in Australia its mostly Toyota's one last thing my Hilux has only 436000 kilometres on it
People who slate Italian car reliability are dinosaurs in my opinion. Had an Abarth 500 many years ago and all I got was its a Fiat etc etc. Not once did anything go wrong and only sold it as I needed a larger car.
These reliability myths are laughable. Got told sooo many times, "don't buy a french car, electrics are unreliable, it rusts and the engines give up every five minutes". Meanwhile, 250k miles on, no issues. I'd say it's more reliable than a Toyota.
The cars are reliable, the dealers are utterly terrible. Always find a good independent specialist like Neil to service your Alfa and it will last forever.
I totaly agree. Brilliant car - useless dealers. My nearest dealer - there are two in reasonable distance from my place - just went bankrupt a couple of months after spending a fortune on a new location. They won’t be missed since I never trusted them in the first place.
This is my experience as well. The cost of maintanance for my giulietta is practically not worth speaking of any more. The official dealer's mechanic was a huge rip-off.
It is a myth. Alfas if looked after will be more reliable than a Merc or BMW. They don't use as many plastic parts in the engine bay as the Germans. Love Alfas
Agreed. Mechanically, Alfas has always been good, as long as the cam belt is changed & regular oil changes. The biggest issues with Alfa 156, GTVs (916), and GTs is their suspension is made of chocolate. 😉 The newer models tend to have eradicated these issues.
2018 Giulia Quadrifoglio, 62.000 km, trouble free apart from a solenoid valve in the left cylinder bank which was changed under warrantee 2023 Tonale Veloce, 8.000 km so far, trouble free 2014 Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde, 45.000 km trouble free 2010 159 TBi Ti, 65.000 km, trouble free 2006 156 2.0 JTS, 52.000 km, trouble free…. I could go back even longer… but nothing can beat my brother’s 1995 model year 146 TS which he drove for 355.000 km only servicing it once a year (just like I do too). Alfista dal cuore 🍀
I have bought an early 2017 model with the 150 hp diesel and ZF gearbox with 199,000 km in Dec 2023... just to familiarize myself with these cars as I fell in love with the Giulia from the first days after its introduction. To my surprise, the interior looks fantastic, the suspension is all quiet, the engine runs perfectly fine and the car drives amazing. The only issues it has, still minor though, is the outside mirror's laquer that is peeling off, easily repairable. I have put nearly 7,000 km on it with 206,000 km right now and I cannot stop driving it. It's my first Alfa and it won't be my last Giulia.
I have a 2015 Giulietta, my previous 156 & 159 were unreliable and I took a risk with the Giulietta. It broke down on the A303 with 235 miles on the clock. My first thought was here I go again. The air mass sensor cable had not been tied into the loom during manufacture and had been resting on the manifold. Nine years on, it has just passed its MOT for the seventh time without any work being required. The only non service part I’ve had to replace was the oil filler cap, the ratchet mechanism was causing problems £14.60 to replace. It is the most reliable car I have ever owned
In the late 70's , early 80's I had a garage and welded up, for MOT, loads of cars, it wasnt just Italian cars, everything rusted. If an Alfa Romeo breaks down in some way, its a case of "I told you those cars are unreliable!", if a BMW, VW or Audi breaks down its a case of "well, things do happen sometimes". The only problem we have had with our Alfa's was on a 159 1.9Jtdm, and all the parts which gave us problems were the German bits!
Well said, our family has had alfettas, guiliettas, 33, gtv6, 156, 147s and nothing major ever happend. My dad also washed the cars every weekend, no rust ever occurred even though we lived by the ocean. I saw this person the other day moaning about their Giulia having a gearbox issue, I commented saying, thats a zf gearbox, its german, dont bring out the old Alfas break chestnut. The thing that irritates me so much is the perpetuation of this disproven notion that Alfas are more unreliable than bmws, audis or mercs. Even though Alfa outperforms them on the quality studies.
The reason its Fiat group is using lower grade bosch parts and the wiring its done very bad . You have to see how its done on BMW for example. I had 2 Alfas 147 first car and Brera which was just on 70 k when i sold it and already had to rebuild the engine. The 147 was nightmare had to rebuild the gearbox 3 times and than just to change it and the engine 1 time. Lets be honest the reason you are driving italian car its bcs its dirty cheap second hand and looks good which is fine But the problem its even if you give alot more for almost new from the dealership you cant be sure of nothing
@@martintop2605 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Bosch assertion is complete twaddle. Do you really think Bosch or Sachs would risk their reputation with second rate parts? We bought our cars new!
Than why you say you have problems with the german bits ? :)) They are different tiers of electronics , if you are customer that buy small amounth of them like Alfa you will receive the worst bages. All italian cars incl ferrari and maserati have problems with the electronics. Its some part bcs itlians dont like to look in to small details and part bcs of lack of R&D budget.
Image is so important in car industry donbe successful. Germans , like BMW have a very good image, "reliable ","ultimate driving machines" but that is often not the case, as a owner i dare to admit this. Technically very complicated and engines and aux appliances not the best reliability. But people keep on buying or at least lease those. Alfa is the real petrol head car for the "connoisseurs ". And Italians know how to engineer an engine that last.
In Australia and North America, the German cars have a terrible reputation for reliability! A good reputation seems more of a European and British thing. It's the Lexus/Toyota and Acura/Honda cars that have the best reputation in North America for reliability (albeit there are occasional serious faults here and there, more often a genuine error than a case of using obviously cheaply made parts like those plastic Dodge V6 oil coolers which leak or plastic VW water pump housings which leak...). 🙂
@@TassieLorenzo Hi here in Europe it's opposite. Germans cars are supposed to be premium . It's an image mainly from the past let's say 20 to 25 y ago. Where indeed German cars were better than cars produced in France . Today picture is a bit different German cars became a luxury product due to their high price point and high performance level. But statistics prove they are average or below average when it comes to reliability.
@@wimcalant8425It's not been 25 years but 35 years since Germany made better cars than France. And for most German brands early '90s were their last good years.
Had a 2.2 Brera Prodrive which I sold last year at 145k miles. Over 5 years of ownership it was fantastic, never let me down, interior still solid and rattle free. A real joy to drive and trouble free to own. Made the mistake of buying a Mercedes - non-stop trouble, has broken down on me. In the first year of ownership it’s been off the road for 6 weeks between its many trips to the dealer. Never again, will be back to Alfa soon.
Our 2021 Giulia Ti has been trouble free for 2.5 years and 26,000 miles! Best looking, best driving car we've ever owned! Makes me smile every time I drive!
Currently own a 2005 156 2.0 JTS Sportwagon. It’s as sweet as a nut both aesthetically and mechanically. Just passed the MOT with a couple of advisories (front brake discs and dull o/s headlight cover.) Had the car 8 years, and it's a daily driver. And It’s in a very rare (for a SW) in Azzurro Gabbiano blue.
I have a 40 year-old X1/9. Like anything, cars need to be looked after. People think German cars are superior. I worked in the trade. They are not. None of us would have a BMW.
Great to see a what a great car we all know the giulia really is just a shame you don't see many on the roads but when you do they still stand out from all the German cars by a mile ! Definitely my next car after my 159, great video Neal look forward to the next one
159 or Brera models have many faults. Front Subframes rot out too easily due to bad design and water intake or positioning of the A/C leak off pipe which fills the subframe with water. , rear trailing arms rust away, sills corroded away, coil springs break,
@@Hali88 It's not wasted, the Giorgio platform is used for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer as well. I guess unprofitable body styles like estates, coupes, convertibles are not of interest to the company compared to SUVs. Heck Alfa Romeo don't either bother to make a hatchback anymore! It is the strictly the more saleable Tonale CUV only. IMO, Alfa (and Fiat and Dodge and Chrysler) having huge gaps in their product lineup and stopping models with no replacement is unwise.
Been looking at these lately such a great looking car, thinking about getting the 280bhp 2.0. My Mito was 12 years old and one of the most reliable cars i've had in 20 years of driving (other than the power steering trying to kill me in winter cutting out) which is partly the reason i'm now on my second Abarth. In recent years the "unreliable Alfas" is nonsense really, I'd still have one over a VAG any day.
I had a Giulia for 4,5 years, bought her as nearly 2 and 1/2 years old with 55000 kms. Sold her as nearly 7 years old car with 175000kms, no major issues at all, very solid car with automatic ZF transmission and 2,2 JTD engine. Very satisified
I'm about to retire my 370K mile alfa 166! Last year turbo went, lost aircon, steering rack weared out, DMF is making weird noises and has some shot bushings, plus my past neighbours left it like a golf ball, it's a lost cause. But guess what, i'm getting another one with only 110K miles in superb condition. Alfas are not hard or complex to fix. In fact I find them way easier to work on them than in german cars. They don't have 5000 control units, most faults are easily seen with some OBD testing, 99% of them are split VNT or intake hoses, stuck EGR, upper whishbones and auxiliary belt stuff. However mechanics keep crying for silly things, like there's a hose between him and the turbo that must be removed first, or breaking four things to fix one (Just pull until it comes out no matter what). So I became my own alfa specialist, cheaper, better.

Ps: plein de copain par contre gros problème avec BMW,Volvo … 😢
It's FCA's own fault that the Dodge Dart was marketed as a Dodge and not as the Alfa Giulietta sedan, likewise the Fiat 124 Abarth not being an Alfa Romeo Spider. IMO the "made in Italy only" requirement was dumb, who cares if Alfas are made in the United States and Japan? Having the Giulia as the entry-level model was too expensive of an entry point to build Alfa Romeo market share IMO. Unfortunately not all that many Dodge Jeep Ram Chrysler dealers in North America actually carry Alfa Romeo (or FIAT) AFAIK, it's hard to build market share if you don't have a dealer presence.
I've had my giulia veloce for 4 years now and love it. No issues at all, I've had lots of alfas in the past, also had 2 bmws and audis, not as reliable as my alfa. Look after it and it will look after you.
I've had 3 2000s era GTV and Spider (2 Fiat Coupe turbos included) and can honestly state that the quality of components was equal to or better than some the BMW, Mercedes and VWs I worked on and owned!
Who cares if they are reliable, they are Alfas! I had a 156 for two years as a Company rep mobile. Brilliant drive, only had to replace front suspension arms which wasn't expensive. Excellent 1.8 litre twin spark petrol engine. The company sold it to an enthusiast.
I fell in love with Alfa when they came back to the states I picked up my 18’ Stelvio and even tho I have had some frustration on now two modular failure I can’t say I will not purchase another used one again oh wait I am working on that right now hehe. Alfa is reliable and I like how it handles much better than a BMW
I've owned my 5 1/2 old Giuila Veloce for 3 years & had zero issues during my ownership. Now has 34K on the clock. Car is fantastic to drive & by far the best car I have every owned. Also have a 1999 TS which has never broken down in 7 1/2 years over ownership, just under 120K miles on the clock.
Nice to see this balanced opinion of the Giulia. I’ve been unlucky with mine, it’s now out of warranty and the dashboard has lit up like a Christmas tree. I’m waiting to see if a replacement ABS sensor will fix the problem but it’s a weird one! It has also had a problem with the water pump and the battery charging circuit. To be honest this car has been the most unreliable car I’ve had since about the 1990s but I love it. Although I have lost all faith Alfa Romeo mainly due to the atrocious dealerships in the south-east of England. After nearly four years of ownership, I would recommend against buying one even though my heart says it’s a great car.
My most reliable car ever was an Alfa 156 V6 which I drove for many years. My least reliable car ever was an Audi TT which I disposed of after 12 months. I haven't owned a Giulia yet, but I'm tempted.
I owned my first Alfa for 7 yrs and covered 130,000 miles in it. It required the cam variator replacing, but other than that it only needed regular servicing, tyres and brakes. Sadly I didn’t keep my second Alfa for long enough to form an opinion on its longevity - I changed job and that came with a company car. My current Alfa is 13 yrs old, and is just coming up to 130,000 miles - I’ve had it for 4 years, and so far have replaced a thermostat housing, EGR valve, front shocks, and a wheel bearing…..other than that it’s been service items. I think that’s decent going for a supposedly ‘unreliable’ Italian car maker.
Had my Guilia for a year and swapped out for a Masarati Ghibli as I fancied a change,probably go back to a Guilia IF..!!I can find one with the tan interior…👍
I agree, my stelvio 2.2 td has 250.000 km trouble free (only oil pump after 200.000 km), my second Stelvio 2.2 td has 50.000 km trouble free of course, and the second car is a Tonale trouble free. after ten years of BMW these Alfa confirm the quality of the brand.
Giulietta benzina owner here, except for having to change the brakes I haven't had any bigger service costs for my giulietta since I got her in 2016. The most important part was switching from the official dealer's mechanic to an indepentend one.
An important update!!!! just returned from a 6 weeks tour of Italy in our 2017 Giulia (petrol), did 5500 miles. What went wrong? Nothing, absolutely nothing! Fast twisty bits, stop start in city traffic, a fully loaded car, driving like an Italian, 120mph on German autobahn coming back and still got an average of 38.4mpg.
I have had a Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 jtd, a 159 sw 1.9 jtdm, a 159 sw 2.0 jtdm 170 hp and I ve overcame 200,000 km without any great issue. Only normal maintanance: italian Jtdm are quite unbreakable! I have to change because of the climate change/pollution restrictions :(( I think that petrol cars in general aren't as reliable
My 2011 Giulietta is still in near perfect condition, no rust whatsoever has 185k kms on it now. Only regular maintenenance, oil, filters, brakes, cam belts etc. no big repair jobs necessary until now. The most reliable car I ever owned, and I had a few.
I had a 156 with 320k km on it bought it when it had 50k km on the dash.. Never had any issues.. Always waited with pushing the engine till it was on temperature.. Did my maintenance in time and to be fair enjoyed that car big time.. Went from the 156 to a Saab 9-5 and now a vw touareg.. But kinda tempted to go back to alfa again because i still like them when i see them driving around
Some diesel versions have a problem with low oil pressure and lose bolts on oil pump. I dont know how common that is. Myself i have Veloce 2.0 petrol. Runs good so far. Fun car. Had to change the factory battery tho.
@@ItaliaAutos just?? I'd say thats a major one... I was dripping oil everywhere.. when I went to visit my mates house I got it one the drive way.. quite embarrassing lol
I believe these newer Alfa's are very reliable, I have owned 3 of them since 2017 and all 3 have been bullet proof. I feel Alfa Romeo upper management has failed miserably at defending their products. There has been a strong effort from some major publications to discredit Alfa Romeo and it seems to be working. For example Consumer Reports, they rank the brand dead LAST in 'predicted' reliability. This assassinates the brand in the US market where the public believes every word Consumer Reports writes! These Giulia's and Stelvio's are very good looking, handle great and get decent gas mileage.
Until you find one, if you like it, go and buy it. It was properly engineered to beat competitors in its segment. Today cars are becoming cheaper built unfortunately
I have a 2018 ti sport stelvio. I love this car. 82000 miles and have not had any issues. Only complaint is the infotainment system but they fixed this in the newer models.
yeah, that poor 2.4 is so cramped inside the engine bay😂, thankfully on Giulia, despite all extra elettronic and emission accessories around is quite spacious
My father had an Alfasud. He did 250.000 kms in it and he only replaced perishable parts, but it's true that they rust like crazy. A friend of mine has an Alfa Romeo 147 and he says that if you service the engine regularly and don't thrash the car, it's very reliable.
This was a great video Neal. Would be really awesome if you can do the same thing with a Giulia Quad, and this time dive a bit into the mechanicals of the engine, what tends to go wrong with the power train after X miles and what to look out for in tes of wear and preventative maintenance.👍
I don't Understand how some Alfa Owners can hold their Cars so dirty especially under the Car, the First thing a do when a buy A Car a make a treatment under the Car Subframes and Wheel Holders frames etc. Spray it whit Color Matt to protect it . Yes and it works amazing my Alfa 147 ti is from 2006 looks like just 4 years under the Car . The Protection layer has protected the Frames from Corrosions 😘
The giuletta is a really nice car to drive & own. I'm on my second now. I had a 2011 2.0 diesel which I picked up 2nd hand and ran for 6 years, only problem was a failed exhaust sensor which was an easy fix. I switched it for a 2015 Giuletta QV 1.75l petrol with auto box (same combination of engine & gearbox as the Alfa 4c) great fun to drive. I've now had it for 5 years & it's been totally reliable. I'm lucky to have a really good independent Alfa/Fiat garage locally, Turin Motors in Leeds, who perform all the services & are a lot cheaper than the main dealers.
Awesome video...Thinking of getting a Giulia Veloce 2024 in Florida. I still have my Alfa Spider Veloce 1976 189,000 miles daily driver when weather permits and just putting around locally no more highway driving people are horrible drivers and it has no safety modern features. A keeper for sure!!!
72K miles are not that many for a Diesel engine you need to get a 120K-130K miles car to start talking about real reliability, in the USA this would be a 75% fully amortized car, which almost any car & brand should do up to that point reasonable well.
How much should I expect to pay from an indy for my 36k big belts service on my quad pls mate ?? 2018 model and had it 3yrs now, not a single problem at all :) Love it
Can’t thank Neil enough for servicing my Giulia Speciale and doing this check over vid 👍 highly recommend and thankful to have such a reliable Alfa specialist local to me Cheers mate!
main issue with this car is the Alfa Romeo - Stellantis Dealer, after that battery or the BOSCH! IBS Sensor. And some interior trim is Squeak\Rattle. The Dealers are not able to fix it or do more damage. You are a real Alfist, is it possible to show us how to remove A - B - C Pilar?
Great video. With the current reliability and quality, I believe the dynamics (every generations of Mercedes and BMWs look same) are such that they will dominate in the next 10 years and beyond having lost the battle to BMWs and Mercedes in the last 50 years. Every car guy should get an Alfa Romeo. They are 'mini Ferraris".
Mines been off the road for 3 months with what now looks like an ECU problem. It's only 5 years old and 33k miles. Very poor owners experience sadly. Even though still under warranty the dealership didn't want to know and were probably going to have to take them to the small.claims Court. Very poor dealership network is a big problem.
The Giulietta / Mito still had their issues but they are miles better than the cars before it. Now the Stelvio / Giulia are very reliable. Nearly 10 years of data combined with anekdotes like this video proof it.
Had one of the original Mitos. Drove 500m from the dealer and had to drive straight back. The heated seats were wired up wrong. In short we had 2 gearboxes, 2 resprays, 3 lots of suspension and a set of replacement window wipers. But we loved it!!
Ive had mine nearly 3 years now, its been equisite, its comfortable, well screwed togeter and a pleasure to drive, its a 21 Veloce in misano blue with tan leather and 19" petal wheels, its perfect imo 😍
I have the Veloce Diesel 01/17 with 150kkm, I use the Giulia for long distance traveling. Very comfortable and so stunning 🤌 The only issue was the rear window heater that's it 👍 Try to reach the million mark 😁
I know for a fact that they are reliable, I own one with over 100,000 miles on it. When I bought it it had only 6 miles on it. It has even one-off the most reliable vehicles that I have ever owned ❤
Mine is 2016 2,2 diesel and have almost 183000 miles. I'm the owner for about 4 years now and only issues a have was EGR cooler at 140000 miles and electronic hand brake wiring was snapped. Suspension, arms and bushings is still all original. Overall it is the best car that I own and my next car will still be Giulia. I just cant find a saloon car with such good driving dynamics. And yes peoples still thinking about Alfas like it was 30 -40 years ago. But if you look other brands what kind issues they or still have Alfas are actually really reliable among modern cars.

Alfista dal cuore 🍀
147 from 1995? The Alfa 147 starts in 2001, i think you meen 145 or 146?
Indeed a typo, I meant 146 TS 😀
I have bought an early 2017 model with the 150 hp diesel and ZF gearbox with 199,000 km in Dec 2023... just to familiarize myself with these cars as I fell in love with the Giulia from the first days after its introduction. To my surprise, the interior looks fantastic, the suspension is all quiet, the engine runs perfectly fine and the car drives amazing. The only issues it has, still minor though, is the outside mirror's laquer that is peeling off, easily repairable. I have put nearly 7,000 km on it with 206,000 km right now and I cannot stop driving it. It's my first Alfa and it won't be my last Giulia.
Im also considering buying the 150hp diesel (manual) and I'm wondering how are the service/repair costs when compared to a VAG car ?
I have a 2015 Giulietta, my previous 156 & 159 were unreliable and I took a risk with the Giulietta. It broke down on the A303 with 235 miles on the clock. My first thought was here I go again. The air mass sensor cable had not been tied into the loom during manufacture and had been resting on the manifold.
Nine years on, it has just passed its MOT for the seventh time without any work being required. The only non service part I’ve had to replace was the oil filler cap, the ratchet mechanism was causing problems £14.60 to replace. It is the most reliable car I have ever owned
My 2.4 jtd I kept for 180.000 miles 18 years faultless. Rust in the end ❤
2.2 jtd 180hp auto 205 000km
Just came back from 2000km trip and i wish tomorrow can do another one, sadly i have work to do
In the late 70's , early 80's I had a garage and welded up, for MOT, loads of cars, it wasnt just Italian cars, everything rusted. If an Alfa Romeo breaks down in some way, its a case of "I told you those cars are unreliable!", if a BMW, VW or Audi breaks down its a case of "well, things do happen sometimes". The only problem we have had with our Alfa's was on a 159 1.9Jtdm, and all the parts which gave us problems were the German bits!
You nail it.. True about the behavor of the german cars owners also about the bits.. Well done !!
Well said, our family has had alfettas, guiliettas, 33, gtv6, 156, 147s and nothing major ever happend. My dad also washed the cars every weekend, no rust ever occurred even though we lived by the ocean. I saw this person the other day moaning about their Giulia having a gearbox issue, I commented saying, thats a zf gearbox, its german, dont bring out the old Alfas break chestnut. The thing that irritates me so much is the perpetuation of this disproven notion that Alfas are more unreliable than bmws, audis or mercs. Even though Alfa outperforms them on the quality studies.
The reason its Fiat group is using lower grade bosch parts and the wiring its done very bad . You have to see how its done on BMW for example. I had 2 Alfas 147 first car and Brera which was just on 70 k when i sold it and already had to rebuild the engine. The 147 was nightmare had to rebuild the gearbox 3 times and than just to change it and the engine 1 time. Lets be honest the reason you are driving italian car its bcs its dirty cheap second hand and looks good which is fine But the problem its even if you give alot more for almost new from the dealership you cant be sure of nothing
@@martintop2605 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Bosch assertion is complete twaddle. Do you really think Bosch or Sachs would risk their reputation with second rate parts? We bought our cars new!
Than why you say you have problems with the german bits ? :)) They are different tiers of electronics , if you are customer that buy small amounth of them like Alfa you will receive the worst bages. All italian cars incl ferrari and maserati have problems with the electronics. Its some part bcs itlians dont like to look in to small details and part bcs of lack of R&D budget.
This channel and Car Wizard channel rate Alfa Romeo and Maserati highly!
Man I wish more folks would make the effort of integrating the infotainment unit into the dash as flawlessly as it's done here.
Its the perfect balance of technology and functional buttons!
The only “problem” from the brain-dead modern consumer’s POV is that “iT’s tOo smAlL”
My Stelvio is 6 years old, very reliable!
Very good cars.
Image is so important in car industry donbe successful. Germans , like BMW have a very good image, "reliable ","ultimate driving machines" but that is often not the case, as a owner i dare to admit this. Technically very complicated and engines and aux appliances not the best reliability. But people keep on buying or at least lease those. Alfa is the real petrol head car for the "connoisseurs ". And Italians know how to engineer an engine that last.
In Australia and North America, the German cars have a terrible reputation for reliability! A good reputation seems more of a European and British thing. It's the Lexus/Toyota and Acura/Honda cars that have the best reputation in North America for reliability (albeit there are occasional serious faults here and there, more often a genuine error than a case of using obviously cheaply made parts like those plastic Dodge V6 oil coolers which leak or plastic VW water pump housings which leak...). 🙂
@@TassieLorenzo Hi here in Europe it's opposite. Germans cars are supposed to be premium . It's an image mainly from the past let's say 20 to 25 y ago. Where indeed German cars were better than cars produced in France . Today picture is a bit different German cars became a luxury product due to their high price point and high performance level. But statistics prove they are average or below average when it comes to reliability.
@@wimcalant8425It's not been 25 years but 35 years since Germany made better cars than France. And for most German brands early '90s were their last good years.
BMW's are crap
Had a 2.2 Brera Prodrive which I sold last year at 145k miles. Over 5 years of ownership it was fantastic, never let me down, interior still solid and rattle free. A real joy to drive and trouble free to own. Made the mistake of buying a Mercedes - non-stop trouble, has broken down on me. In the first year of ownership it’s been off the road for 6 weeks between its many trips to the dealer. Never again, will be back to Alfa soon.
Good joke it made me laugh
Our 2021 Giulia Ti has been trouble free for 2.5 years and 26,000 miles! Best looking, best driving car we've ever owned! Makes me smile every time I drive!
Yeah the old "alfa sud" trope is usually what your typical german car buyer would refer to......usually based on zero facts but probably snobbery.
Hear it sill most weeks
Currently own a 2005 156 2.0 JTS Sportwagon. It’s as sweet as a nut both aesthetically and mechanically. Just passed the MOT with a couple of advisories (front brake discs and dull o/s headlight cover.)
Had the car 8 years, and it's a daily driver.
And It’s in a very rare (for a SW) in Azzurro Gabbiano blue.
I have a 40 year-old X1/9. Like anything, cars need to be looked after.
People think German cars are superior. I worked in the trade. They are not. None of us would have a BMW.
X1/9 hopefully coming to the channel in a few weeks
Great to see a what a great car we all know the giulia really is just a shame you don't see many on the roads but when you do they still stand out from all the German cars by a mile ! Definitely my next car after my 159, great video Neal look forward to the next one
I do love a Giulia.
I miss my 159, should never of sold it😢
Yeah it is a good platform, Alfa missed a trick not using the platform more, they should have made an estate, coupe and convertible
159 or Brera models have many faults. Front Subframes rot out too easily due to bad design and water intake or positioning of the A/C leak off pipe which fills the subframe with water. , rear trailing arms rust away, sills corroded away, coil springs break,
@@Hali88 It's not wasted, the Giorgio platform is used for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer as well. I guess unprofitable body styles like estates, coupes, convertibles are not of interest to the company compared to SUVs. Heck Alfa Romeo don't either bother to make a hatchback anymore! It is the strictly the more saleable Tonale CUV only. IMO, Alfa (and Fiat and Dodge and Chrysler) having huge gaps in their product lineup and stopping models with no replacement is unwise.
Any Alfa after the MiTo (including) are on par if not better than most brands in terms of reliability.
Been looking at these lately such a great looking car, thinking about getting the 280bhp 2.0. My Mito was 12 years old and one of the most reliable cars i've had in 20 years of driving (other than the power steering trying to kill me in winter cutting out) which is partly the reason i'm now on my second Abarth. In recent years the "unreliable Alfas" is nonsense really, I'd still have one over a VAG any day.
I had a Giulia for 4,5 years, bought her as nearly 2 and 1/2 years old with 55000 kms. Sold her as nearly 7 years old car with 175000kms, no major issues at all, very solid car with automatic ZF transmission and 2,2 JTD engine. Very satisified
I'm about to retire my 370K mile alfa 166!
Last year turbo went, lost aircon, steering rack weared out, DMF is making weird noises and has some shot bushings, plus my past neighbours left it like a golf ball, it's a lost cause.
But guess what, i'm getting another one with only 110K miles in superb condition.
Alfas are not hard or complex to fix. In fact I find them way easier to work on them than in german cars.
They don't have 5000 control units, most faults are easily seen with some OBD testing, 99% of them are split VNT or intake hoses, stuck EGR, upper whishbones and auxiliary belt stuff.
However mechanics keep crying for silly things, like there's a hose between him and the turbo that must be removed first, or breaking four things to fix one (Just pull until it comes out no matter what).
So I became my own alfa specialist, cheaper, better.

If I had an Alfa specialist like you local to me I would have one in a shot !
Thanks
I'd like a mech like you near me Neil.Well done..
"IF" Americans were any smart they would be buying these cars like candy. FACTS
Sure would.
*IF* alfa had any kind of market presence worth mentioning in the US they would
Americans buy huge V8 trucks not fast Alfas.
It's FCA's own fault that the Dodge Dart was marketed as a Dodge and not as the Alfa Giulietta sedan, likewise the Fiat 124 Abarth not being an Alfa Romeo Spider. IMO the "made in Italy only" requirement was dumb, who cares if Alfas are made in the United States and Japan? Having the Giulia as the entry-level model was too expensive of an entry point to build Alfa Romeo market share IMO. Unfortunately not all that many Dodge Jeep Ram Chrysler dealers in North America actually carry Alfa Romeo (or FIAT) AFAIK, it's hard to build market share if you don't have a dealer presence.
I've had my giulia veloce for 4 years now and love it. No issues at all, I've had lots of alfas in the past, also had 2 bmws and audis, not as reliable as my alfa. Look after it and it will look after you.
The main issue in this country is finding skilled mechanics!
That's an issue in all countries.
I've had 3 2000s era GTV and Spider (2 Fiat Coupe turbos included) and can honestly state that the quality of components was equal to or better than some the BMW, Mercedes and VWs I worked on and owned!
Sure is true. Apart from the 159 generation lol
@@ItaliaAutos Are the 159's best avoided then? I was looking at getting a diesel one...
great video, will use it as reference when buying and inspecting a used Giulia :) Thank you
Good stuff. Thanks for watching
Who cares if they are reliable, they are Alfas! I had a 156 for two years as a Company rep mobile. Brilliant drive, only had to replace front suspension arms which wasn't expensive. Excellent 1.8 litre twin spark petrol engine. The company sold it to an enthusiast.
I fell in love with Alfa when they came back to the states I picked up my 18’ Stelvio and even tho I have had some frustration on now two modular failure I can’t say I will not purchase another used one again oh wait I am working on that right now hehe. Alfa is reliable and I like how it handles much better than a BMW
How are the petrol engines? We don't get diesel in America, not that I would want it in such a graceful car.
They are pretty good. I'll do a video on one in time.
I’ve got a 2018 Giulia 2.2 with 117,000 miles on it, great car.
one leak is fantastic. My N55 powered BMW has the "forever leaky" factory option 😝
Oh dear lol
I've owned my 5 1/2 old Giuila Veloce for 3 years & had zero issues during my ownership. Now has 34K on the clock. Car is fantastic to drive & by far the best car I have every owned. Also have a 1999 TS which has never broken down in 7 1/2 years over ownership, just under 120K miles on the clock.
Good stuff thanks for sharing
Nice to see this balanced opinion of the Giulia. I’ve been unlucky with mine, it’s now out of warranty and the dashboard has lit up like a Christmas tree. I’m waiting to see if a replacement ABS sensor will fix the problem but it’s a weird one! It has also had a problem with the water pump and the battery charging circuit. To be honest this car has been the most unreliable car I’ve had since about the 1990s but I love it. Although I have lost all faith Alfa Romeo mainly due to the atrocious dealerships in the south-east of England. After nearly four years of ownership, I would recommend against buying one even though my heart says it’s a great car.
What year model is it
My most reliable car ever was an Alfa 156 V6 which I drove for many years. My least reliable car ever was an Audi TT which I disposed of after 12 months. I haven't owned a Giulia yet, but I'm tempted.
I owned my first Alfa for 7 yrs and covered 130,000 miles in it. It required the cam variator replacing, but other than that it only needed regular servicing, tyres and brakes. Sadly I didn’t keep my second Alfa for long enough to form an opinion on its longevity - I changed job and that came with a company car. My current Alfa is 13 yrs old, and is just coming up to 130,000 miles - I’ve had it for 4 years, and so far have replaced a thermostat housing, EGR valve, front shocks, and a wheel bearing…..other than that it’s been service items. I think that’s decent going for a supposedly ‘unreliable’ Italian car maker.
Had my Guilia for a year and swapped out for a Masarati Ghibli as I fancied a change,probably go back to a Guilia IF..!!I can find one with the tan interior…👍
Yes, love the tan interior on a Giulia!
Aren't you enjoying the Ghibli ownership, Sir? Any issues? Is it much more expensive than Giulia's?
@@palandi the Ghibli is lovely ,bit more of a tourer than the Guilia but such a nice place to sit..tail happy in the wet though…😳😳😳
I agree, my stelvio 2.2 td has 250.000 km trouble free (only oil pump after 200.000 km), my second Stelvio 2.2 td has 50.000 km trouble free of course, and the second car is a Tonale trouble free. after ten years of BMW these Alfa confirm the quality of the brand.
Giulietta benzina owner here, except for having to change the brakes I haven't had any bigger service costs for my giulietta since I got her in 2016. The most important part was switching from the official dealer's mechanic to an indepentend one.
Awesome 😎
And in the background - Alfa 147... i'm looking forward to get mine 18 years one back from body-workshop to have a good time... 🤗
These seem to b more reliable than the german cars now.
An important update!!!! just returned from a 6 weeks tour of Italy in our 2017 Giulia (petrol), did 5500 miles. What went wrong? Nothing, absolutely nothing! Fast twisty bits, stop start in city traffic, a fully loaded car, driving like an Italian, 120mph on German autobahn coming back and still got an average of 38.4mpg.
Awesome stuff.
Italian 🇮🇹 and Japanese 🇯🇵 cars are the most reliable in the world 😎
85435KM no problem.from china….
I have had a Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 jtd, a 159 sw 1.9 jtdm, a 159 sw 2.0 jtdm 170 hp and I ve overcame 200,000 km without any great issue. Only normal maintanance: italian Jtdm are quite unbreakable! I have to change because of the climate change/pollution restrictions :((
I think that petrol cars in general aren't as reliable
The old 2.4 was amazing for reliability
My 2011 Giulietta is still in near perfect condition, no rust whatsoever has 185k kms on it now. Only regular maintenenance, oil, filters, brakes, cam belts etc. no big repair jobs necessary until now. The most reliable car I ever owned, and I had a few.
2017 Giulia Sport ti, and the only repair I've had was replacing the ac condensor.
Good news.
2018 stelvio 60k . Replaced battery.. runs amazing
My best car ever, alfa 155. Lpg no problems att all. Drove 345.000 km. No rust at all. 2.0ltr.
The best thing about their perceived unreliability, is as a second hand car you can pick them up for peanuts, those that know , know🤫
I had a 156 with 320k km on it bought it when it had 50k km on the dash.. Never had any issues.. Always waited with pushing the engine till it was on temperature.. Did my maintenance in time and to be fair enjoyed that car big time.. Went from the 156 to a Saab 9-5 and now a vw touareg.. But kinda tempted to go back to alfa again because i still like them when i see them driving around
Some diesel versions have a problem with low oil pressure and lose bolts on oil pump. I dont know how common that is.
Myself i have Veloce 2.0 petrol. Runs good so far. Fun car. Had to change the factory battery tho.
It's not a common fault.
Mine is not reliable... I had a oil leak from the oil cooler... Had to get it replaced. 70k miles... cost me $1500... not happy.
Any other faults or just that 1. 👍😁
@@ItaliaAutos just?? I'd say thats a major one... I was dripping oil everywhere.. when I went to visit my mates house I got it one the drive way.. quite embarrassing lol
I have had 13 Alfa's and never had a major problem with any of them ...if you look after them then they will look after you
I believe these newer Alfa's are very reliable, I have owned 3 of them since 2017 and all 3 have been bullet proof. I feel Alfa Romeo upper management has failed miserably at defending their products. There has been a strong effort from some major publications to discredit Alfa Romeo and it seems to be working. For example Consumer Reports, they rank the brand dead LAST in 'predicted' reliability. This assassinates the brand in the US market where the public believes every word Consumer Reports writes! These Giulia's and Stelvio's are very good looking, handle great and get decent gas mileage.
Never put much stock in Consumer Reports.
The exhaust tailpipes still have some shine to them.
I’m convinced. Shut up and take my money 💰
It's a diesel normally covered in soot.
Until you find one, if you like it, go and buy it. It was properly engineered to beat competitors in its segment. Today cars are becoming cheaper built unfortunately
Giulia 2.0 Petrol 147kw . 55 000 km . Radiator needs to be replaced which is a common issue on these engines ..
I have a 2018 ti sport stelvio. I love this car. 82000 miles and have not had any issues. Only complaint is the infotainment system but they fixed this in the newer models.
well ,as my 460.000 km alfa 147 , and my 270.000 km alfa 159 would say , "just love me and ill love you"
My 22 year old 2.4jtd 156 , with 300,000km still going strong, in 10 years, it's never let me down. Cambelt change was a kick in the nuts, for sure.
yeah, that poor 2.4 is so cramped inside the engine bay😂, thankfully on Giulia, despite all extra elettronic and emission accessories around is quite spacious
My father had an Alfasud. He did 250.000 kms in it and he only replaced perishable parts, but it's true that they rust like crazy.
A friend of mine has an Alfa Romeo 147 and he says that if you service the engine regularly and don't thrash the car, it's very reliable.
This was a great video Neal.
Would be really awesome if you can do the same thing with a Giulia Quad, and this time dive a bit into the mechanicals of the engine, what tends to go wrong with the power train after X miles and what to look out for in tes of wear and preventative maintenance.👍
Great suggestion! have you seen my old quad videos.
I don't Understand how some Alfa Owners can hold their Cars so dirty especially under the Car, the First thing a do when a buy A Car
a make a treatment under the Car Subframes and Wheel Holders frames etc. Spray it whit Color Matt to protect it . Yes and it works amazing
my Alfa 147 ti is from 2006 looks like just 4 years under the Car . The Protection layer has protected the Frames from Corrosions 😘
I love Alfa a lot, but my 2014 Lexus CT200h has 200K miles on it and looks just like this one in terms of wear.
How about the Giulietta? Got two to look at, a 1.4 petrol and. 2.0 diesel both 2011 …
I'd go manual diesel giuletta.
Nice one - cheers 👍
The giuletta is a really nice car to drive & own. I'm on my second now. I had a 2011 2.0 diesel which I picked up 2nd hand and ran for 6 years, only problem was a failed exhaust sensor which was an easy fix. I switched it for a 2015 Giuletta QV 1.75l petrol with auto box (same combination of engine & gearbox as the Alfa 4c) great fun to drive. I've now had it for 5 years & it's been totally reliable. I'm lucky to have a really good independent Alfa/Fiat garage locally, Turin Motors in Leeds, who perform all the services & are a lot cheaper than the main dealers.
Always happy to see a Neil vid ☕️ 🚗 #alfa #youtube
Cheers.
Awesome video...Thinking of getting a Giulia Veloce 2024 in Florida. I still have my Alfa Spider Veloce 1976 189,000 miles daily driver when weather permits and just putting around locally no more highway driving people are horrible drivers and it has no safety modern features. A keeper for sure!!!
72K miles are not that many for a Diesel engine you need to get a 120K-130K miles car to start talking about real reliability, in the USA this would be a 75% fully amortized car, which almost any car & brand should do up to that point reasonable well.
How much should I expect to pay from an indy for my 36k big belts service on my quad pls mate ?? 2018 model and had it 3yrs now, not a single problem at all :) Love it
Can’t thank Neil enough for servicing my Giulia Speciale and doing this check over vid 👍 highly recommend and thankful to have such a reliable Alfa specialist local to me
Cheers mate!
Great to hear! the video has gone down well.
Car looks good, as it should after 7 years and 70k miles.
Thanks for the comment.
2018 Giulia and this was the video I wanted to see, after putting 700,00 on a 159 I was afraid to look under the Giulia,
Awesome
Where did you go ? To the moon and back ? 700,00miles
Taxi 😊
I think I'd still have my 1983 1.5 Ti Alfasud had I not totalled it in 1997. It was rustproofed by the initial owner and totally rust free.
main issue with this car is the Alfa Romeo - Stellantis Dealer, after that battery or the BOSCH! IBS Sensor. And some interior trim is Squeak\Rattle. The Dealers are not able to fix it or do more damage. You are a real Alfist, is it possible to show us how to remove A - B - C Pilar?
Have Lexus IS (still under warranty as it has 10 years of warranty), but looking for Giulia Veloce, what do you guys think, am I asking for trouble?
Great video. With the current reliability and quality, I believe the dynamics (every generations of Mercedes and BMWs look same) are such that they will dominate in the next 10 years and beyond having lost the battle to BMWs and Mercedes in the last 50 years. Every car guy should get an Alfa Romeo. They are 'mini Ferraris".
Mines been off the road for 3 months with what now looks like an ECU problem. It's only 5 years old and 33k miles. Very poor owners experience sadly.
Even though still under warranty the dealership didn't want to know and were probably going to have to take them to the small.claims Court. Very poor dealership network is a big problem.
Check the N/S headlights for water ingress and for insects that have managed to enter this enclosed area! 😕
...and if you had two Alphas standing between you , you could listen to them rust in stereo .
The Giulietta / Mito still had their issues but they are miles better than the cars before it. Now the Stelvio / Giulia are very reliable. Nearly 10 years of data combined with anekdotes like this video proof it.
I'd love one but I just don't need a big car. I wish Alfa had done a new Giulietta QV or GTV.
Happy to see that "Made in Italy" is truly a sign for quality, that clichées of the past dont match actual reality.
Had one of the original Mitos. Drove 500m from the dealer and had to drive straight back. The heated seats were wired up wrong.
In short we had 2 gearboxes, 2 resprays, 3 lots of suspension and a set of replacement window wipers.
But we loved it!!
72k miles is nothing.
Ive had mine nearly 3 years now, its been equisite, its comfortable, well screwed togeter and a pleasure to drive, its a 21 Veloce in misano blue with tan leather and 19" petal wheels, its perfect imo 😍
I will oder veloce misano blue soon! Perfect color. 2.0 280 HP.
Since when did reliability and Alpha Romeo fit into the same sentence ?
Very good condition for 7 y. old Alfa 👍🇲🇰
I have the Veloce Diesel 01/17 with 150kkm, I use the Giulia for long distance traveling. Very comfortable and so stunning 🤌
The only issue was the rear window heater that's it 👍
Try to reach the million mark 😁
Rear window is a common fault. Thanks for watching
Had my 156 from brand new for 5 years when they first came out. Beautiful car and never missed a beat.
The Giulia is my dream car, freakin reliable and beautiful. I will never ever sell it
I know for a fact that they are reliable, I own one with over 100,000 miles on it. When I bought it it had only 6 miles on it. It has even one-off the most reliable vehicles that I have ever owned ❤
Awesome thanks for sharing.
