Enjoy! I've loved mine for over a year! DO get the leather package if its available. I regret settling for one without it because I couldn't find the exact spec I wanted. Significant impact on the "feel" of the interior.
@@AlokSomani I agree with you, I got the Stelvio w/o leather package as I picked up one from the lot but the leather package really make this car luxury.
@@AlokSomani I've been driving an FJ Cruiser for the last couple of years, so anything would be an improvement when it comes to the interior. But yeah, I do agree with you. Reliability has been my main concern tbh, but everything I read (& watched) has been nothing but reassuring. You've owned yours for a year, how is it so far?
@@riyadhahmed4420 I love it. I'm 16,000 miles in and it has been reliable for me. There are small quirks like the AC system being too loud, my trunk lid not staying fully open when I'm parked on an incline (guess the spring needs to be adjusted), but nothing that impacts reliability. But, the upsides have been AWESOME. It feels SO good to drive. I love the steering and the steering wheel. I like the design of the interior cabin, very nice lines and very driver focused. The suspension is just the right balance between stiff and compliant for me, and I also got the adaptive suspension (Ti Sport Performance Package). I cannot overstate how nice it feels to drive. Better than the BMW 3 series and Audi A4. I would say in my opinion, but in my opinion, it is almost an unequivocal truth.
Picked up my Giulia Ti sport a couple weeks ago and absolutely love love love it. It’s the same color color combination plus it has the carbon package. I couldn’t be happier.
Steven Musgrove no it does not have the cf seat. What is does include is the ti leather package (dash and door uppers) and carbon interior and exterior trim and the cf ground effects trim from the quad.
Steven Musgrove mine is pretty much fully loaded. I feel the must have package is the sport package (limited slip differential and active suspension). The rest are personal preference. I also wanted the ti leather package (leather dash and door uppers) and ACC (forget what package that is in.
Great review. I got a Stelvio Ti Sport in 2017 (2018 model) and LOVED it so much that, when the lease was up last month, I got another. So much fun to drive, zero problems, and not the same as everything else in the parking lot!
@meezyThe dealer paid off my last couple of months so I just "returned" it and started a new lease with the new car. When you close out a lease you can leave it with the dealer, the lease company comes to assess it for a final close out. The dealer takes care of all of that though. If there are no issues you don't get a bill. Mine was in perfect condition and under milage so, if anything, it was worth more than estimated.
I have a stelvio ti sport, q4, 280hp, I remapped it and threw in a bmc filter, the power is beyond amazing, you will smile so hard through the gears your skin will crack
I had a 2017 Giulia Ti Sport with Full Leather package in Misano Blue like this one. I enjoyed every minute of it, with not a single issue. That's why I replaced it this year with a 2019 Nero Edizione.
I discovered Alfa's in high school, I would sit all day in classes perfecting my sketches of the spider, I was clueless but on the right track, My teachers used to call me "alfa". I couldn't afford an Alfa as my first car, so i settled for a Triumph Spitfire, Followed by a Jetta GLI 1st Gen, yes it was late 80's. By now I had followed several Milano's to their homes..Long story short, 3rd car was VW 5cyl Quantum which I traded for my first, Milano 2.5 dark blue, it howled, at full throttle top speed the engine would go into glide mod...it felt super smooth as if power was coming from giant wound up rubber bands, 30 years later I've owned over 17 Alfa's Mostly 3.0 Quad.Verde Milano's and GTV-6's, one Ferrari, several audi's *wifes cars*, 164Q LS....You made a geat decision, Alfa's are not cars, Alfa's are people too..If you've never owned one, you just don't get it
The best thing is that in the states, you can find a 2020 TI Sport AWD with like 30k miles on it for like $22-25k. Definitely looking forward to getting my first car next year! And yes I will be getting the alfa
@@pasiutrial I haven't gotten it. I'm a college student, so I'm only working a bit now but in the summer is when I'm planning on going full time to get a car. I decided against the alfa romeo because I have heard of a LOT of issues with them, kind of want a reliable first car so I might opt for something like a Honda instead.
@@Encyledus perhaps a lot of issues with old, 20 yo Alfas but with Giulias? Reliability way better than German cars. I've got a Honda and can't wait to swap it for Alfa, can't stand any more repairs with 2018 Civic.
Interesting review. I had a 4C Spider then I bought a new ‘18 Giulia Quadrifoglio. No problems with either car - absolutely love Alfas. The exclusivity is a nice bonus in an age where German cars are around every corner. A few things though - I don’t see why everyone hates the turn signals, I actually prefer them. You get used to them after just a few minutes and they are less clunky than normal ones. I had a Ti spec as a loaner and don’t think they sound as bad as you say- though if it were mine I’d want a little more volume to it. I wish you had spoken of the driving dynamics a bit more. You can throw any Giulia into a turn with precision accompanied by some of the best steering in the business. Chassis balance is bar none. Glad to see another great real world review. Go buy one and live it!
I bought a Cadillac ATS 2.0t I was looking at the Alfa but just to scared to make that jump to a brand I don’t know anything about or how to even work on. I love them tho, gorgeously styled cars!

I am from Argentina, where Alfa sells cars since 1960, and I had a 164 V6 12V, a 164 V6 24 V, a 156 2.0 Twin Spark, a Mito Quadrifoglio, a 166 3.2 V6 24V and now a Giulietta Quadrifoglio. The best of all was the 166, an amazing car, NEVER EVER a big problem with any of them, just keep them well serviced, change the timing belt every 60.000 km and top them with high quality oil. A "Busso" V6 24 v engine is an experience every petrol head must have. Many of the complains about Alfas are or myths or common problems of an era, (rust on 80"s cars) The only bad Alfas were the "Alfa Sud" built on the south of Italy plant, the rest were al very good, reliable and with incredibly engines and design they are well know off. NONE of the Direct Injected new Alfas have problems with carbon build up or oil sludge or bearings failures or timing chain stretch . Can BMW or Audí say the same?
Hey, stop spouting shit on the suds. Their build quality might be terrible, rust might be permanently spreading, but they have those great boxer engines and are really great to drive. -Proud owner of a 1989 'Sud Sprint 1.7 QV
I bought mine in red, 2018, best car I've ever bought! I drive my pickup truck in the winter, which helps keep this car away from road salt, it makes it feel like a new car every spring when I open the garage door and drive it out. Plus the fact that I live in the next province beside Ontario....Quebec...we don't have to have a front license plate which takes away from the cool ALFA look.
Quick note about the turn indicators: you can lock them like normal turn indicators, just push it all the way down or all the way up. Not exactly a click, but you'll feel it.
Exactly. It seems that it takes a degree in Engineering to understand it... LOL In the US some people (and dumb reviewers) thought it was an issue of the car because they could not figure out how it works. It makes me think on how smart some people are...
Good review. Have owned a lot of cars in my72 years....Big 3 brands, German, Japanese, Italiian. Most are kept for around 5 years. Had a 1970 ALFA spider I bought new and heavily modded it. Kept that car for over 40 years before selling to a collector to get garage space for a 2015 ALFA 4C LE also bought new....absolutly no issues on the 4C and with a few minor modes it becomes an amazing track car. i have no plans to get rid of that 4C. Also owned an ALFA GTV SCCA race car back in 70s. Currently my other cars are a 2016 Ford Transit 150 full size van and a 2018 GMC Acadia Denali. The Denali has been trouble free and a great car....the Ford makes a good van although I wasn't happy about a recall for the throttle body and an ongoing recall requirement to replace the drive shaft flex coupling every 40,000 miles....at least that is done on warranty.
I have white 2019 Ti Sport. Love it. Dark grey clover wheels and red calipers, panoramic roof, and dark rosso leather. Best seats ever, on any car I ever had. Mine is RWD. As I live in Los Angeles and noone cares that its an Alfa.
A little late to the video here - but this sealed the deal for me. I’ve been in the market for a luxury sedan and I totally forgot about the Giulia. After a few videos/articles, it became evident that the Giulia is best-in-class compared to its peers. In fact, I just might have to find one in that blue!
Yea man, I'm also late for this review😂, my dad and I were looking for sports sedans like mercedes and Audi but completely forgot alfa romeo ( we live in Québec) and as soon as we saw this car we fell in love whit it, we are going to see one this week, maybe seal the deal on a red one whit blacked out rims and interior
Your Alfa looks great! I couldn't agree with you more. You don't buy a Alfa because you need a car. You buy it because you want one! I have Quadrifoglio in the Rosso competizione! Have had it for over a year now and love it!
Amazing video! I am glad that you can enjoy this wonderful machine! I have bought my Giulia Veloce Ti in september and I am excited waiting for its delivery!!! Here in Germany (and Italy), the Ti version of Veloce is quite different that in Canada: it's come as "serie" Q4, Active suspension, Quadrifoglio seats, Leather package, Carbon fiber Package outside (side mirrors, rear spoiler, front spoiler, front "V" bumber, side skirts) and inside (dash, central console, doors). I choose red alfa with red calipers, H&K sound system, alarm, Adaptive cruise control and heat rear seat. Unfortunately it isn't possible sunroof.
I have been driving my Ti Sport Carbon package for the last 5 months and absolutely love this car. Always have a smile on my face in this car. But you are 100% right about the sound and after owning it for 1 month I had to upgrade to a Sports Exhaust System by Ragazzon...so much better and sounds amazing in Dynamic mode...now people turn to see what car is coming 👍😁
Wow , fantastic review.. I am seriously considering getting a slightly used one so I'm doing a lot of research. To me it is the finest looking four door car anywhere. Thanks for the great video.
All the myths about Alfa unreliability are from way back in the 80's and 90's. In the 2000's and especially 2010's they've been very reliable. Not to mention that even in the past their reliability issues were mostly small annoying things related to electronics. They never had issues with mechanics, in fact, they've always had extremely durable mechanical parts, especially their diesel engines. The 1.9 and 2.0 JTD diesels are legendary for being able to get tuned to double or even more than their factory power just with ECU tuning, and they can be driven like that for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. I know a guy with a 15 year old 147 1.9 JTD with over 300,000 km's on the clock, and 200,000 of those were with a 260hp tune. Never any issues. On top of that, they've been extremely solid and safe. Older Alfa 159 had the highest torsional body rigidity of any car except the Bugatti Veyron and Rolls Royce Phantom, almost double that of the BMW 3 series for example and other similar sedans. And the Giulia is said to be even more rigid. It also scored some of the highest safety ratings ever recorded, but that doesn't show the advantage of the highly rigid body, since those crash tests are done at very low speeds.
Great post. I've owned ten of the supposedly unreliable Alfas from the '70s-'90s (being an American I've no experience with the post-164 cars until the Giulia) and found them really well-built and rugged when it comes to the important stuff. Always reliable. Only time ever left stranded in nearly 200k miles was when a $10 Bosch sensor went in an '83 Spider. Other that, just regular maintenance and expected wear items. Meanwhile I've friends in other makes dealing with serious design issues yet it's Alfa that the Ignorati loves to criticize.
Read Car and driver long term test on Quadrifoglio. It was their NIGHTMARE. Car and driver is a reputable car magazine, along with Road and Track, Motor Trend.
I thought you sold this car back in August... I tried to buy this one but missed out. Ended up with a similarly specced 18 Ti Sport in Vulcano Black with red calipers. 6 weeks in and I adore it! Most fun car to drive!
Great to hear from you. I did sell it in August. Our post production supervisor was in Italy on vacation so we were late posting our video. Enjoy your Giulia!
@@sarahdell4042 I loved my Alfa, I just wanted to change to something a little more fun to drive. I'm trying an all-wheel drive 2019 VW Golf R with a 6-speed manual. So far, it has been great fun in the snow!
I got this car for the aesthetics but watching your video make me feel better about it’s reliability...being delivered in 3 weeks...super excited...thank you ...
I currently have a 2008 Acura TL Type S. This is most likely going to be my next car. But I’m probably going the leasing route through a 3rd party called The Lease Outlet. 280HP is actually about the same as my V6. This thing is beautiful and I wouldn’t drive it to impress anyone. I just want something that makes me turn around when I walk away from it when I park it. If your car doesn’t do that you need a different car.
Wow I drive an 08 tl type S and I’m thinking about buying this car myself. I can’t believe someone else here has the same car lol. That part about turning around and looking at my car… man I do that still to this day with my type S. Such a sexy ride man.
Nic Hulsey about 23K on the clock now. Continues to be a great car except for some fit and finish issues- annoyances at worst. But all good things have an ending. Trading it next month for a Tesla model 3.
I have two. 2018 Giulia sport and a 2016 4c Spider. Both have had no issues. But my first Alfa a 1988 Milano Verde, well that was a love hate car. I loved it, it hated working.
Alfa is now one of the jems of the Stellantis group. The brand has an history with nothing to envy to BMW and Mercedes. I hope the will invest on that great brand as well in Lancia...
Long time Alfisti here...was President of my local chapter for 10 years.... Owner of 2017 Giulia Quad and 2018 Stelvio Ti Sport as well as 1991 164 S and 1964 Giulia Sprint GT Alfa has hit it out of the park with the "Giorgio Platform" ....Should extend warranty to include basic service for 4 years and then they might steal some Merc, Audi, BMW and Volvo buyers....Nice video by the way but the background music is too distracting....JMHO....Peace
Thanks for the review, it was very helpful. I sell cadillacs but I have been admiring the Guilia. I bought one today, literally the exact same car that you have color, features and all. I’m excited to pick it up next week. Thanks again for the review, it helped solidify my decision.
Absolutely love my '17 Ti. Agree re quiet stock exhaust; I put a REMUS axleback on mine and plan to isntall an open air intake (and a tune when out of warranty). For what it's worth, glitch/issue-free first 19k miles (for those worried it's going to fall apart in the first 5k miles). Best car I've owned since an '07 Cayman S I gave up for a minivan. In fact, feels like a 4-door version of that Cayman S, or a sedan version of an RX-8 with a ton more torque. Just a marvelous car. Only regret? Maybe I should have got a Quadrifoglio.
We are on our 2nd Giulia lease. These cars are absolutely the best! I have owned many BMW's, Mercedes and Audi's, but the Giulia is much nicer to drive than all the rest. We love this car.
@@nataliar.1230 Its not expensive, but it is a bit higher than a bargain brand such as KIA or something. I pay $200 for an oil change, the car doesn't require much else for the first 3 years. The first year oil change is free from Alfa Romeo too. After 3 years, the car requires some air filter replacements, brake fluid change. It really costs about the same to do maintenance on it as any Audi, BMW or Mercedes. Its not like some Ferrari or such costs. I'd say fair prices for services.
@@23Piccolina I love the stelvio and I wanted to get it used but someone told me it was really expensive to maintain. So now I’m looking into an Audi Q5. I almost feel like the maintenance would be pretty close now tho
@@nataliar.1230 I guarantee you the maintenance would be extremely close. I'd go with the Alfa. The Q5 is just a VW Tiguan with some luxury interior pieces. lol (I know, cause I also own a Tiguan!) I think Alfa Romeo brings its 110 yr heritage to the buyer and provides an extra bump in panache and luxury, over any of the German brands. I should know, I've owned 72 cars in my life. ha ha Tons of BMW's, Audi's, and Mercedes, but my Giulia is one of the very best I've owned. Good luck!
@ 10:35 Thank you for dispelling the nonsense "Italian Reliability BS"....When a German car has an issue it's "Over engineered".....When it happens to an Italian car, "ooh, it's sooooo unreliable" .... M 3 Subframe cracks M 5 Rod bearing failures 911 IMS Bearing failures FORZA ALFA BABY !!! THE KING IS BACK !!!!
I went from a fully optioned 2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 Premium to a 2020 Giulia base model with nero edizone package that doesnt even have paddles, sunroof, or heated seats and I love the Alfa way more than the ATS. It really is a head turner, handles better, is a hair faster even though less HP(more TQ) rides so much smoother. I do miss some of the bells and whistles but having wireless carplay makes up for a lot of them. IMO the Giulia is an amazing value/bang for your buck. I got white with the red interior and its absolutely stunning. The black 19" wheels on the base model look way better than the Ti Sport wheels too. The 2017-2019 models had all the issues and they fixed them all with the 2020 when they redid the interior a bit, making the car incredibly reliable now. I would suggest looking for a slightly used 2020+ if your in the market, for me its hard to justify $50k for a brand new one when I got mine with 19k miles for $23k that is in almost brand new condition.
Ironically, I am in the same situation, I have a 17 Cadillac ATS coupe, it's fully loaded, and I was wondering if I'd miss a few of those things if I decided to buy a Giulia.
@@Davidc9356 I dont, at all. Its no secret the CUE system is absolute trash and the Alpha one is 10000x better. And the carplay is so nice, wireless charging pad, just everything about the infotainment system is miles ahead of the cue. Paddle shifters are the only thing I miss but I can still manually shift with the shifter of course, just took some getting used to.
I've been waiting for your follow up. I have a '18 Montecarlo blue with tan interior Ti sport pkg rear wheel drive with 30k miles and plan on keeping it 😎👍
@@1LE_Ciko It went into "limp mode" at about 42k miles. They were not sure what caused it, but it was still under warranty, so they reset the system and we are back on the road.
@@fredojr1220 So far so good. If it is a Manufacturer Extended Warranty, then it may be worth while. Also, if the car still has some of its original warranty even better. Stay away from the early models (2017), for they were plagued with problems. Been there, done that....
That is so weird, I am just about to trade my 2020 Subaru WRX STi in for a new 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport, and your video helped me make my decision (thanks!). Funny that I had the same sequence of cars as you.
Bought my Ti sport Q4 (AWD) in January 19. The sexiest car on the road in Montecarlo Blue Metallic, looks a bit purple-ish in certain light. I bought with the Carbon Blacked out package. Interior is Brown on Black. People everywhere always comment on just how awesome my Alfa is. They will tell me at stop lights, gas stations, and just about anywhere I am. There are so few I have seen around my area; only 3 (including mine) are actually in the area.
@@AlokSomani For me I'm a bit more boring- I'm looking for black with the red interior, and want to black out the lights. Maybe its cuz im still young thats what I like 🤣
I haven't had the privilege of owning a Giulia yet ! Lol But I have had Alfas in the past and I have one sitting on my drive for the last 4years just ain't had the funds to keep it on road as I have a daily driver mpv but I look at my Alfa everyday 😊 all proud ,it's a 147 2ltr autodelta tuned turbo selespeed with beefed up body kit 😬
I just picked up a 2018 white Ti Sport Q4 and I love it. My current quams are the seat. I have the sport seats but the butt pad does not "tilt" so there's like no thigh support. I ordered some spacers to help out. Should be in soon. Next is the backup cam. Since my car is white the screen is really dim since it can see my rear bumper and adjusts for the brightness. I took from electrical tape and put it on the bottom of the lense to help. Not ideal but it works. I can't wait to get performance exhaust so I can hear her rumble.
Very nice. Your review is spot on with my experience. The engine note could use a bit more personality but it's far quicker than I ever needed while being fuel efficient. I had a white/red 2017 base model but with the sport package... basically everything mechanically your car has except for the 18" wheels (mine were 17") and the sport seats. Frankly, if I had to do it again I would have splurged for the Ti sport seats as the base ones lack thigh support. I also think FCA planners really screwed up with their launches of the Giulia and Fiat 500s by getting far too conservative when it came to color options for inventory. When I looked for mine every single car on the lots I could find were gray or black with black interior. I found the ONLY Giulia in the entire state that had the red interior and I loved it. I made the same comment as you, "It's an Alfa, why would I want it to get lost in a sea of BMWs and Mercedes?" It's probably a good thing that you waited a while to get yours. Mine was an early 2017 and my 2-year lease ended after 10 months when FCA bought it back under lemon law. The early cars indeed seemed to have a lot of bugs in their drive-by-wire electronics and mine was no exception.
There is a never driven January 2017 Giulia Super up for sale where I live. Selling for 29000 dollars (original price 43000 dollars) Should I go for it? What sort of problems should I expect? The dealer said that if I decide to buy it they will run through all recall history for Giulias before delivery. The car has a lot of extras, it bugs me though that it's missing the shifters and of course no Android auto as it is a 2017 model
They're nice, but have FCA fixed the issues with the car? I can deal with average reliability from a premium brand, anything less than that is unacceptable.
I don’t know what tires you Americans use in the winter, but in Sweden we use real winter-tires which is also mandated by law. With some good winter tires like NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA 8 there’s no problem driving a high horse power RWD car.
I have the exact same guilia. Same color same wheels same yellow brakes. But I have the black and white two tones Interior and I a a sproiler on mine. I absolutely love it. Way better than my Lexus IS 300 f sport. Great review. And yes I get a compliment on mine almost every day. I’ve had people think I paid 90 grand for it.
Very good review! Hoping in the future to have race mode also in the Q4. So as so You say no issues! It is a very good car! The problem is that for the others brand with zero soul or little soul it is the sole way to say something wrong of this Beauty. You will remember this car for long time! Like mine Alfas in the past. 👍👍👍
Have identical car except 2017 Sport. Same color and what a freeway rocketship. One of the few cars you can buy today that actually look better in motion. Get the same gas station comments.
I have the 2021 blacked out with red interior and red brake calipers. I get a lot of comments on it. I also agree that the sound is underwhelming and I’ll be changing the intake and the exhaust
Unfortunately I don't have it any more. I sold it a few years ago. I keep in touch with the person who bought it and he loves it and it's running perfectly.
I've had my Montecarlo Ti Q4 for 18 months and love it terribly. With a mild tune I clocked 60 in 4.5 seconds. Definitely agree with the need for race mode and a valved exhaust! IMO the QV isn't as practical a DD given RWD, no sunroof, and no colored leather. I still have 18 months on my lease and I'm already losing sleep about giving it back. Mine has also been perfectly reliable and I drive it like I stole it. Not sure I can ever drive another car without yellow calipers!
Can't you close the roof via the key? Hold the lock button outside the car. Works with the windows on my Giulietta that way, might also work on the roof?
Well i tryed on my giulietta via key button, but it only close the windows on doors... pano just stayed open :/ and it is same like here on guila if u turn off the car u cant close pano a bit annoying but you get used too it... just close before u arrive :D

Great review. I got a Stelvio Ti Sport in 2017 (2018 model) and LOVED it so much that, when the lease was up last month, I got another. So much fun to drive, zero problems, and not the same as everything else in the parking lot!
@meezyThe dealer paid off my last couple of months so I just "returned" it and started a new lease with the new car. When you close out a lease you can leave it with the dealer, the lease company comes to assess it for a final close out. The dealer takes care of all of that though. If there are no issues you don't get a bill. Mine was in perfect condition and under milage so, if anything, it was worth more than estimated.
Do you experience much turbo lag in lower revs?
I’ve been driving Alfa all my life . 👍
I have a stelvio ti sport, q4, 280hp, I remapped it and threw in a bmc filter, the power is beyond amazing, you will smile so hard through the gears your skin will crack
I had a 2017 Giulia Ti Sport with Full Leather package in Misano Blue like this one. I enjoyed every minute of it, with not a single issue. That's why I replaced it this year with a 2019 Nero Edizione.
Great thorough video. I bought a used 2017 Giulia Ti one year ago and love it more today than when I purchased it!
Is it really as unreliable as being rated online? I really like this car but hesitate to step forward due to it’s known unreliability.
Understandable. I felt the same way. That day I must have had the YOLO attitude.! So far, so good.
I discovered Alfa's in high school, I would sit all day in classes perfecting my sketches of the spider, I was clueless but on the right track, My teachers used to call me "alfa". I couldn't afford an Alfa as my first car, so i settled for a Triumph Spitfire, Followed by a Jetta GLI 1st Gen, yes it was late 80's. By now I had followed several Milano's to their homes..Long story short, 3rd car was VW 5cyl Quantum which I traded for my first, Milano 2.5 dark blue, it howled, at full throttle top speed the engine would go into glide mod...it felt super smooth as if power was coming from giant wound up rubber bands, 30 years later I've owned over 17 Alfa's Mostly 3.0 Quad.Verde Milano's and GTV-6's, one Ferrari, several audi's *wifes cars*, 164Q LS....You made a geat decision, Alfa's are not cars, Alfa's are people too..If you've never owned one, you just don't get it
After driving an Alfa you tend to acquire the Italian hand gestures & shoulder shrug ! " Ciao bambino "
The best thing is that in the states, you can find a 2020 TI Sport AWD with like 30k miles on it for like $22-25k. Definitely looking forward to getting my first car next year! And yes I will be getting the alfa
You got one already? How is it?
@@pasiutrial I haven't gotten it. I'm a college student, so I'm only working a bit now but in the summer is when I'm planning on going full time to get a car. I decided against the alfa romeo because I have heard of a LOT of issues with them, kind of want a reliable first car so I might opt for something like a Honda instead.
@@Encyledus perhaps a lot of issues with old, 20 yo Alfas but with Giulias? Reliability way better than German cars. I've got a Honda and can't wait to swap it for Alfa, can't stand any more repairs with 2018 Civic.
Interesting review. I had a 4C Spider then I bought a new ‘18 Giulia Quadrifoglio. No problems with either car - absolutely love Alfas. The exclusivity is a nice bonus in an age where German cars are around every corner. A few things though - I don’t see why everyone hates the turn signals, I actually prefer them. You get used to them after just a few minutes and they are less clunky than normal ones. I had a Ti spec as a loaner and don’t think they sound as bad as you say- though if it were mine I’d want a little more volume to it. I wish you had spoken of the driving dynamics a bit more. You can throw any Giulia into a turn with precision accompanied by some of the best steering in the business. Chassis balance is bar none. Glad to see another great real world review. Go buy one and live it!
I bought a Cadillac ATS 2.0t I was looking at the Alfa but just to scared to make that jump to a brand I don’t know anything about or how to even work on. I love them tho, gorgeously styled cars!
I am from Argentina, where Alfa sells cars since 1960, and I had a 164 V6 12V, a 164 V6 24 V, a 156 2.0 Twin Spark, a Mito Quadrifoglio, a 166 3.2 V6 24V and now a Giulietta Quadrifoglio. The best of all was the 166, an amazing car, NEVER EVER a big problem with any of them, just keep them well serviced, change the timing belt every 60.000 km and top them with high quality oil. A "Busso" V6 24 v engine is an experience every petrol head must have. Many of the complains about Alfas are or myths or common problems of an era, (rust on 80"s cars) The only bad Alfas were the "Alfa Sud" built on the south of Italy plant, the rest were al very good, reliable and with incredibly engines and design they are well know off.
NONE of the Direct Injected new Alfas have problems with carbon build up or oil sludge or bearings failures or timing chain stretch . Can BMW or Audí say the same?
Hey, stop spouting shit on the suds. Their build quality might be terrible, rust might be permanently spreading, but they have those great boxer engines and are really great to drive.

I bought mine in red, 2018, best car I've ever bought!
I drive my pickup truck in the winter, which helps keep this car away from road salt, it makes it feel like a new car every spring when I open the garage door and drive it out.
Plus the fact that I live in the next province beside Ontario....Quebec...we don't have to have a front license plate which takes away from the cool ALFA look.
Quick note about the turn indicators: you can lock them like normal turn indicators, just push it all the way down or all the way up. Not exactly a click, but you'll feel it.
Exactly. It seems that it takes a degree in Engineering to understand it... LOL In the US some people (and dumb reviewers) thought it was an issue of the car because they could not figure out how it works. It makes me think on how smart some people are...
Good review. Have owned a lot of cars in my72 years....Big 3 brands, German, Japanese, Italiian. Most are kept for around 5 years. Had a 1970 ALFA spider I bought new and heavily modded it. Kept that car for over 40 years before selling to a collector to get garage space for a 2015 ALFA 4C LE also bought new....absolutly no issues on the 4C and with a few minor modes it becomes an amazing track car. i have no plans to get rid of that 4C. Also owned an ALFA GTV SCCA race car back in 70s. Currently my other cars are a 2016 Ford Transit 150 full size van and a 2018 GMC Acadia Denali. The Denali has been trouble free and a great car....the Ford makes a good van although I wasn't happy about a recall for the throttle body and an ongoing recall requirement to replace the drive shaft flex coupling every 40,000 miles....at least that is done on warranty.
I have white 2019 Ti Sport. Love it. Dark grey clover wheels and red calipers, panoramic roof, and dark rosso leather. Best seats ever, on any car I ever had. Mine is RWD. As I live in Los Angeles and noone cares that its an Alfa.
Chill music , the Canadian and Alfa ...can't be more cooler video than this one !
Zoran Mihailovic, happy you enjoyed!
A little late to the video here - but this sealed the deal for me. I’ve been in the market for a luxury sedan and I totally forgot about the Giulia. After a few videos/articles, it became evident that the Giulia is best-in-class compared to its peers. In fact, I just might have to find one in that blue!
Yea man, I'm also late for this review😂, my dad and I were looking for sports sedans like mercedes and Audi but completely forgot alfa romeo ( we live in Québec) and as soon as we saw this car we fell in love whit it, we are going to see one this week, maybe seal the deal on a red one whit blacked out rims and interior
Your Alfa looks great! I couldn't agree with you more. You don't buy a Alfa because you need a car. You buy it because you want one! I have Quadrifoglio in the Rosso competizione! Have had it for over a year now and love it!
This is the first review of this car where the youtuber knew what dna stands for, I’m impressed
Thanks!
Just picked up my 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport and it is amazing my god
I have the same car, same model and year. Very happy with it and as mentioned in your video, 100% reliable.
Bought a Stelvio Sport Ti in April. GORGEOUS machine.
Excellent music. "I Am Enlightened".
I own a 159 and nothing compares to how it drives and corners. Can't wait to update to Giulia 🤗
Yeah blu Misano with yellow breaks is astonishing beautiful
Amazing video! I am glad that you can enjoy this wonderful machine! I have bought my Giulia Veloce Ti in september and I am excited waiting for its delivery!!! Here in Germany (and Italy), the Ti version of Veloce is quite different that in Canada: it's come as "serie" Q4, Active suspension, Quadrifoglio seats, Leather package, Carbon fiber Package outside (side mirrors, rear spoiler, front spoiler, front "V" bumber, side skirts) and inside (dash, central console, doors). I choose red alfa with red calipers, H&K sound system, alarm, Adaptive cruise control and heat rear seat. Unfortunately it isn't possible sunroof.
Your Ti sounds a lot better than our Ti! Enjoy it!
Is it possible to fix on it 19" tecnico bright aluminium rims (QV version) ? It will be great with rosso competizione red or trofeo white
I have been driving my Ti Sport Carbon package for the last 5 months and absolutely love this car. Always have a smile on my face in this car. But you are 100% right about the sound and after owning it for 1 month I had to upgrade to a Sports Exhaust System by Ragazzon...so much better and sounds amazing in Dynamic mode...now people turn to see what car is coming 👍😁
I would love to hear how your car sounds with the performance exhaust. Glad you are loving it.
Getting this car as a graduation gift and cannot wait
My dad wants to get me this car to replace my first car but I wasn't too fond of the idea. This video made me appreciate the car even more. Thank you!
Wow , fantastic review.. I am seriously considering getting a slightly used one so I'm doing a lot of research. To me it is the finest looking four door car anywhere. Thanks for the great video.
All the myths about Alfa unreliability are from way back in the 80's and 90's. In the 2000's and especially 2010's they've been very reliable. Not to mention that even in the past their reliability issues were mostly small annoying things related to electronics. They never had issues with mechanics, in fact, they've always had extremely durable mechanical parts, especially their diesel engines. The 1.9 and 2.0 JTD diesels are legendary for being able to get tuned to double or even more than their factory power just with ECU tuning, and they can be driven like that for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. I know a guy with a 15 year old 147 1.9 JTD with over 300,000 km's on the clock, and 200,000 of those were with a 260hp tune. Never any issues.
On top of that, they've been extremely solid and safe. Older Alfa 159 had the highest torsional body rigidity of any car except the Bugatti Veyron and Rolls Royce Phantom, almost double that of the BMW 3 series for example and other similar sedans. And the Giulia is said to be even more rigid. It also scored some of the highest safety ratings ever recorded, but that doesn't show the advantage of the highly rigid body, since those crash tests are done at very low speeds.
JTD 1.9 engine is bullet proof 👌.
I use to have 2002 156 2.0 Twin Spark for 2years, no problems what so ever
Great post. I've owned ten of the supposedly unreliable Alfas from the '70s-'90s (being an American I've no experience with the post-164 cars until the Giulia) and found them really well-built and rugged when it comes to the important stuff. Always reliable. Only time ever left stranded in nearly 200k miles was when a $10 Bosch sensor went in an '83 Spider. Other that, just regular maintenance and expected wear items. Meanwhile I've friends in other makes dealing with serious design issues yet it's Alfa that the Ignorati loves to criticize.
Not true.
Alfa's have a horrible history in the American market with reliability.....Stat's don't lie.
Read Car and driver long term test on Quadrifoglio. It was their NIGHTMARE. Car and driver is a reputable car magazine, along with Road and Track, Motor Trend.
I thought you sold this car back in August... I tried to buy this one but missed out. Ended up with a similarly specced 18 Ti Sport in Vulcano Black with red calipers. 6 weeks in and I adore it! Most fun car to drive!
Great to hear from you. I did sell it in August. Our post production supervisor was in Italy on vacation so we were late posting our video. Enjoy your Giulia!
Michael Taylor Why did you sell?
@@sarahdell4042 I loved my Alfa, I just wanted to change to something a little more fun to drive. I'm trying an all-wheel drive 2019 VW Golf R with a 6-speed manual. So far, it has been great fun in the snow!
Michael Taylor Great choice!
I got this car for the aesthetics but watching your video make me feel better about it’s reliability...being delivered in 3 weeks...super excited...thank you ...
What job you got
I currently have a 2008 Acura TL Type S. This is most likely going to be my next car. But I’m probably going the leasing route through a 3rd party called The Lease Outlet. 280HP is actually about the same as my V6. This thing is beautiful and I wouldn’t drive it to impress anyone. I just want something that makes me turn around when I walk away from it when I park it. If your car doesn’t do that you need a different car.
Wow I drive an 08 tl type S and I’m thinking about buying this car myself. I can’t believe someone else here has the same car lol. That part about turning around and looking at my car… man I do that still to this day with my type S. Such a sexy ride man.
Yep! My TI Sport, Q4 has been a STELLAR experience! It really has been perfect!! 1 Non-recurrent sunroof issue, Otherwise P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!
Just saw one in Montecarlo Blue Metalic and almost soiled myself. My god what a beautiful car.
I think that blue is beautiful. Better than red in my opinion. Great choice👍
Thanks! Misano Blue really is a great colour for this car. Makes it stand out.
Gotta disagree. Have this in the base red (not the darker upgrade which I dont like) and this was made to be in red :)
Great review! I have a '17 Ti with 13K on the clock... no issues. Blast to drive.
Zack Zada any updates?
Nic Hulsey about 23K on the clock now. Continues to be a great car except for some fit and finish issues- annoyances at worst. But all good things have an ending. Trading it next month for a Tesla model 3.
I have two. 2018 Giulia sport and a 2016 4c Spider. Both have had no issues. But my first Alfa a 1988 Milano Verde, well that was a love hate car. I loved it, it hated working.
Alfa is now one of the jems of the Stellantis group. The brand has an history with nothing to envy to BMW and Mercedes. I hope the will invest on that great brand as well in Lancia...
The 2017 and 18 ti awd models are a very good deal on the used market as well
Just got one, exactly like it but silver. 9K miles and paid 25K USD. 1 owner, clear title. No accidents.
Update ?
@@davido3495 on?
@@livingthedash6727 any issues I’m planning on getting one soon how are u liking it ?
@@davido3495 massively unreliable. Lots of issues. I got rid of it after a few weeks and currently have a 2020 Tesla Model 3 LR AWD Performance.
Great review, I just reviewed the 2019 model and agree with everything you say about the Veloce! 👍🏻
Thanks Alfa Nut!
Excellent review beautiful car I am shopping for one now I am stuck between Missano Blue & Montecarlo Blue I love them both
Enjoy your Alfa shopping!
I drive the Montecarlo Blue 😁
i have the misano blue which looks sportier imo.
Me too I can't decide... but then I saw the Lunar White color... its like blue and white together. Hard to describe, but its a gorgeous color.

Alfa has hit it out of the park with the "Giorgio Platform" ....Should extend warranty to include basic service for 4 years and then they might steal some Merc, Audi, BMW and Volvo buyers....Nice video by the way but the background music is too distracting....JMHO....Peace
Thanks for the review, it was very helpful. I sell cadillacs but I have been admiring the Guilia. I bought one today, literally the exact same car that you have color, features and all. I’m excited to pick it up next week. Thanks again for the review, it helped solidify my decision.
Absolutely love my '17 Ti. Agree re quiet stock exhaust; I put a REMUS axleback on mine and plan to isntall an open air intake (and a tune when out of warranty). For what it's worth, glitch/issue-free first 19k miles (for those worried it's going to fall apart in the first 5k miles). Best car I've owned since an '07 Cayman S I gave up for a minivan. In fact, feels like a 4-door version of that Cayman S, or a sedan version of an RX-8 with a ton more torque. Just a marvelous car. Only regret? Maybe I should have got a Quadrifoglio.
Is it reliable?
We are on our 2nd Giulia lease. These cars are absolutely the best! I have owned many BMW's, Mercedes and Audi's, but the Giulia is much nicer to drive than all the rest. We love this car.
What is the maintenance like? Is it expensive?
@@nataliar.1230 Its not expensive, but it is a bit higher than a bargain brand such as KIA or something. I pay $200 for an oil change, the car doesn't require much else for the first 3 years. The first year oil change is free from Alfa Romeo too. After 3 years, the car requires some air filter replacements, brake fluid change. It really costs about the same to do maintenance on it as any Audi, BMW or Mercedes. Its not like some Ferrari or such costs. I'd say fair prices for services.
@@23Piccolina I love the stelvio and I wanted to get it used but someone told me it was really expensive to maintain. So now I’m looking into an Audi Q5. I almost feel like the maintenance would be pretty close now tho
@@nataliar.1230 I guarantee you the maintenance would be extremely close. I'd go with the Alfa. The Q5 is just a VW Tiguan with some luxury interior pieces. lol (I know, cause I also own a Tiguan!) I think Alfa Romeo brings its 110 yr heritage to the buyer and provides an extra bump in panache and luxury, over any of the German brands. I should know, I've owned 72 cars in my life. ha ha Tons of BMW's, Audi's, and Mercedes, but my Giulia is one of the very best I've owned. Good luck!
@@23Piccolina thank you so much I appreciate the advise! (:
I hadn’t heard of Alfa Romeo until about 6 months ago
@ 10:35 Thank you for dispelling the nonsense "Italian Reliability BS"....When a German car has an issue it's "Over engineered".....When it happens to an Italian car, "ooh, it's sooooo unreliable" ....

FORZA ALFA BABY !!! THE KING IS BACK !!!!
I went from a fully optioned 2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 Premium to a 2020 Giulia base model with nero edizone package that doesnt even have paddles, sunroof, or heated seats and I love the Alfa way more than the ATS. It really is a head turner, handles better, is a hair faster even though less HP(more TQ) rides so much smoother. I do miss some of the bells and whistles but having wireless carplay makes up for a lot of them. IMO the Giulia is an amazing value/bang for your buck. I got white with the red interior and its absolutely stunning. The black 19" wheels on the base model look way better than the Ti Sport wheels too. The 2017-2019 models had all the issues and they fixed them all with the 2020 when they redid the interior a bit, making the car incredibly reliable now. I would suggest looking for a slightly used 2020+ if your in the market, for me its hard to justify $50k for a brand new one when I got mine with 19k miles for $23k that is in almost brand new condition.
Ironically, I am in the same situation, I have a 17 Cadillac ATS coupe, it's fully loaded, and I was wondering if I'd miss a few of those things if I decided to buy a Giulia.
@@Davidc9356 I dont, at all. Its no secret the CUE system is absolute trash and the Alpha one is 10000x better. And the carplay is so nice, wireless charging pad, just everything about the infotainment system is miles ahead of the cue. Paddle shifters are the only thing I miss but I can still manually shift with the shifter of course, just took some getting used to.
Don’t buy it new. It depreciates like hell. 2017 guilia is listed for 18k now
18k in the US? If so, which state?
I haven't seen them below $24,000 or so.
@@stevemiller1626 they are like 20k in NJ, that's why I'm skeptical, very low miles too in a dealership
Noticed this Subi's hold there value better
Lol this comment aged well. Now you can't find them under 28 😞
Awesome update. I may be on my way to pick up my Giulia soon!
I've been waiting for your follow up. I have a '18 Montecarlo blue with tan interior Ti sport pkg rear wheel drive with 30k miles and plan on keeping it 😎👍
How’s reliability up to date
@@1LE_Ciko
It went into "limp mode" at about 42k miles. They were not sure what caused it, but it was still under warranty, so they reset the system and we are back on the road.
@@dogdoc1 aside from that, any other issues? Looking at a used one, should I get extended warranty?
@@fredojr1220
So far so good. If it is a Manufacturer Extended Warranty, then it may be worth while. Also, if the car still has some of its original warranty even better. Stay away from the early models (2017), for they were plagued with problems. Been there, done that....
That is so weird, I am just about to trade my 2020 Subaru WRX STi in for a new 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport, and your video helped me make my decision (thanks!). Funny that I had the same sequence of cars as you.
I have a 2021 in Visconte Verde with yellow calipers, and i love it. people definitely come up and ask about it all the time.
Bought my Ti sport Q4 (AWD) in January 19. The sexiest car on the road in Montecarlo Blue Metallic, looks a bit purple-ish in certain light. I bought with the Carbon Blacked out package. Interior is Brown on Black. People everywhere always comment on just how awesome my Alfa is. They will tell me at stop lights, gas stations, and just about anywhere I am. There are so few I have seen around my area; only 3 (including mine) are actually in the area.
Man, that was the original color combo I wanted -- Montecarlo Blue with Tan interior. Glad somebody got it!
There seems to be few with that color combo and Alfa options. I search for about 2 years. I can't wait to see what they bring to the next few years.
@@AlokSomani For me I'm a bit more boring- I'm looking for black with the red interior, and want to black out the lights. Maybe its cuz im still young thats what I like 🤣
Great video dude...have Alfa 159 1750 TBi TI and absolutely love it! Hope to have the same as yours next year (Veloce in Europe).
I haven't had the privilege of owning a Giulia yet !
Lol
But I have had Alfas in the past and I have one sitting on my drive for the last 4years just ain't had the funds to keep it on road as I have a daily driver mpv but I look at my Alfa everyday 😊 all proud ,it's a 147 2ltr autodelta tuned turbo selespeed with beefed up body kit 😬
Great car not only great this is masterpiece of saloon car. 🇮🇹❤️👍
Uros Cerinsek res res
So true. Love my Veloce 280.
I have an Alfa Giulia 2018 ti sport and the sunroof failed to work at 13000 miles what a bummer !
Sorry to hear that!
I just picked up a 2018 white Ti Sport Q4 and I love it. My current quams are the seat. I have the sport seats but the butt pad does not "tilt" so there's like no thigh support. I ordered some spacers to help out. Should be in soon. Next is the backup cam. Since my car is white the screen is really dim since it can see my rear bumper and adjusts for the brightness. I took from electrical tape and put it on the bottom of the lense to help. Not ideal but it works. I can't wait to get performance exhaust so I can hear her rumble.
Hopefully soon I'll be checking out the 2020 models which have the touch screen and better camera
Very nice. Your review is spot on with my experience. The engine note could use a bit more personality but it's far quicker than I ever needed while being fuel efficient. I had a white/red 2017 base model but with the sport package... basically everything mechanically your car has except for the 18" wheels (mine were 17") and the sport seats. Frankly, if I had to do it again I would have splurged for the Ti sport seats as the base ones lack thigh support. I also think FCA planners really screwed up with their launches of the Giulia and Fiat 500s by getting far too conservative when it came to color options for inventory. When I looked for mine every single car on the lots I could find were gray or black with black interior. I found the ONLY Giulia in the entire state that had the red interior and I loved it. I made the same comment as you, "It's an Alfa, why would I want it to get lost in a sea of BMWs and Mercedes?" It's probably a good thing that you waited a while to get yours. Mine was an early 2017 and my 2-year lease ended after 10 months when FCA bought it back under lemon law. The early cars indeed seemed to have a lot of bugs in their drive-by-wire electronics and mine was no exception.
There is a never driven January 2017 Giulia Super up for sale where I live. Selling for 29000 dollars (original price 43000 dollars) Should I go for it? What sort of problems should I expect? The dealer said that if I decide to buy it they will run through all recall history for Giulias before delivery.
The car has a lot of extras, it bugs me though that it's missing the shifters and of course no Android auto as it is a 2017 model
Fuel efficient? Its competitors are way more fuel efficient, Giulia not that much.
They're nice, but have FCA fixed the issues with the car? I can deal with average reliability from a premium brand, anything less than that is unacceptable.
Still have it? If so what are some things to look out for ?
Issues, maintenance, reliability, etc...
I don’t know what tires you Americans use in the winter, but in Sweden we use real winter-tires which is also mandated by law. With some good winter tires like NOKIAN
HAKKAPELIITTA 8 there’s no problem driving a high horse power RWD car.
There's a socket in the trunk, for switching off the esp ahah that's true guys. After that you can drift.
Good to hear about reliability
I have the exact same guilia. Same color same wheels same yellow brakes. But I have the black and white two tones Interior and I a a sproiler on mine. I absolutely love it. Way better than my Lexus IS 300 f sport. Great review. And yes I get a compliment on mine almost every day. I’ve had people think I paid 90 grand for it.
What year Lexus? And, how much better is it?
Brian Ruiz I have a 2016 is 300 f sport. Very nice Lexus. White with red interior but doesn’t touch my guilia.
Awesome video and reviews! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Raul!
This car looks amazing in blue
Very good review! Hoping in the future to have race mode also in the Q4. So as so You say no issues! It is a very good car! The problem is that for the others brand with zero soul or little soul it is the sole way to say something wrong of this Beauty. You will remember this car for long time! Like mine Alfas in the past. 👍👍👍
Have identical car except 2017 Sport. Same color and what a freeway rocketship. One of the few cars you can buy today that actually look better in motion. Get the same gas station comments.
Love this review!
It IS a work of art.
thanks for the beautiful review
Do you guys still have the car? How reliable is the car? I really wanna get one. Special in the used market they are under $30k
I have the 2021 blacked out with red interior and red brake calipers. I get a lot of comments on it. I also agree that the sound is underwhelming and I’ll be changing the intake and the exhaust
you can blast it, the problem is that you have to put it in race mode or no joy. You don't have to change the exhaust.
Best vehicle overall, this or IS350?
You can't go wrong with an IS350 but you should drive both before you make up your mind.
I’ve been waiting!
Apologies for the delay and thank you for your patience!
How is the reliability, please no biased answers need honest opinion and experience
I’m in the market for the 4 cylinder AWD turbo. Something I need for the weather here in the mid United States.
Fellow Ontario-ian, I am looking to buy a used 2018 Giulia TI Sport as well. How is it now in 2024?
Unfortunately I don't have it any more. I sold it a few years ago. I keep in touch with the person who bought it and he loves it and it's running perfectly.
I've had my Montecarlo Ti Q4 for 18 months and love it terribly. With a mild tune I clocked 60 in 4.5 seconds. Definitely agree with the need for race mode and a valved exhaust! IMO the QV isn't as practical a DD given RWD, no sunroof, and no colored leather. I still have 18 months on my lease and I'm already losing sleep about giving it back. Mine has also been perfectly reliable and I drive it like I stole it. Not sure I can ever drive another car without yellow calipers!
Glad to hear you are loving your car! Nice acceleration with that tune!
What tune did you use?
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a blue one? Its beautiful.
Got damn metric system. Love the car I’m looking forward to getting one a few years old is it worth it as I usually put 20k miles a year on vehicles.
Is there a huge difference between the 2017 and 2018 version?
Can't you close the roof via the key? Hold the lock button outside the car. Works with the windows on my Giulietta that way, might also work on the roof?
Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately I didn't try that before I sold it. Will check the next time I'm in a Giulia.
Well i tryed on my giulietta via key button, but it only close the windows on doors... pano just stayed open :/ and it is same like here on guila if u turn off the car u cant close pano a bit annoying but you get used too it... just close before u arrive :D
I’ve been looking at a 2018 giulia TI RWD, is the car your driving similar and would you recommend me getting it. Love the video btw
Ordered my 2020 this week. Can't wait until it arrives.
Weird Flex, but okay..
Confused on getting the alpha romeo julia ti 2017. Or the mercedes cla class 2015
What is the oil filter charge? In Canadian dollars. What is a fair price for used ( what year model)? I only drive approximately 5,500 km/ year
Going to test drive one tomorrow 🙏
