    Traded my Audi A4 to get my 1st Alfa Romeo 6 months ago. I do not miss the A4. Once you drive the Alfa you’ll notice the difference. Fun and beautiful car. I get compliments in my Alfa almost daily. Alfa Romeo Giulia is my pick.

    I just picked up a 2019 Giulia Ti Sport with only 14k miles from the original owner and am very excited. One selling point, he had purchased a transferable MOPAR extended service agreement that covers repairs through 2026.
    I hope the warranty isn’t needed much, he says he hasn’t needed any work done since he bought it new (other than a factory recall). The earlier cars in 2017 seem to have some issues but from what I have seen they fixed most of these since. 🤞

    I love my 2018 Giulia but its been in the shop since Oct 2023 - no lie!
    They finally finished fixing it 3 days ago (April 9, 2024) but when I came to pick it up, I discovered that my AC doesn't work.
    So back to the shop it goes for who knows how much longer.
    The only consolation I have is that they gave me a Maserati Grecale for a loaner car so I can't really complain.
    But I do miss my Giulia, though.

    I really enjoyed the "from the street" review, and I think it is really where the brand needs to be reviewed. I have a 2017 Quadrifoglio, for the last 3 years. Its been very reliable. The only issues led back to an old battery causing some sensors not reading correctly - an issue any modern car will have. And were still only minor Yellow faults. The drive is just plain outstanding.

      @@turbo_cafe Underpowered?? The only 2.0 with more power than Alfa is the Maserati grecale Modena but if you do the air intake and ECU on the Alfa you can reach 300 hp easy. Also let’s not forget that stock makes 0-60 in 5.4 seconds being the lightest SUV in its category and having the most advanced platform on the market still after 7 years? And a top speed of 144 mph that reaches quickly and steadily.

I work at a car dealership so I get a really good discount on the car. Just wondering if you think I should do it.

      Honestly man it’s been really great in regards to reliability. I’m 4 months away from lease end and STILL no critical issues. As of now I’m on my 3rd oil change in 3 years and so far that’s been the only costs ($350) after I changed the tires. HOWEVER I’m not sure how reliable the high mileage models are. There’s a few comments in here from owners who share the same sentiment. Feel free to hmu anytime if you have more questions! 🍻

      I bought a high mileage well taken care of 2017 TI Sport Q2 a few months back. Got a 3 yr mopar maxcare warranty for $2250. The car was so cheap that with tax, title, and warranty it was about 20K. A good way to go if you are worried about reliability.

    Regarding only 2 engine options, to be fair most manufacturers would have gone with the option of an engine with less than 280 bhp, rather than one in between the standard and 500+ bhp of the Quadrifoglio.
    Although I believe that (in Europe at least) the original petrol base Giulia's comes with the same 2 liter engine downtuned to 200 bhp and the 280 bhp is the upgrade. And then there are the 130-180 bhp diesels.

    Italian cars have always been reliable all this bad talk about Italian cars is a total lie and jealousy, especially from the Germans. I currently drive an Alfa Romeo Brera TI, 1.8 TBI bought with 20,000 km now 100,000 on it zero problems so far. Before that I had bought an Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD with 50,000 km and sold it with 200,000 km. JTD engines are absolutely indestructible. I also had a 147 2.0 TS bought with 100,000 km and sold with 250,000 km, never any problems. With the 147 and GT there were a few material qualities that I didn't like but otherwise they were very reliable cars.
