- I got to test the all-new 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce at the tail of the dragon. I was truly astonished by how well this SUV handled. In this in-depth buyer’s guide review, I go through every detail about the Stelvio. See my 2023 Toyota GR86 Review: • 2023 Toyota GR86 Premi...

Here’s the second car I drove on the Tale of the Dragon: 2023 Toyota GR86 - ruclips.net/video/9FL7To3CbRI/видео.html
I have an 21 Giulia with over 70k miles on it as I drive a lot. Bought it CPO with 3K miles on and I have had no problems at all with the car. It surprises me everyday when i'm driving it. The car is solid, stands out from the crowd and definitely is worth getting. I get many compliments as it's not seem so much like BMW, AUDI, MB. Truly a gem to have!
I have owned Audi’s BMW and nothing drive like my Alfa Romeo Stelvio and the car is very reliable 👌 Bravo Alfa
I am so impressed with it they certainly have made a fan out of me
Nice Video Kevin! Glad you got around to the Alfa Romeos! Wanted to get your take on the Non-QV Giulia's but ended up purchasing one about a month ago anyway. Basically did an even trade from a 21 Kia K5 GT- Line w 21k miles to a 19 Giulia Sport w 13k miles. What a world of difference in the overall driving experience. Feels exotic-ish in every way from looks to power and handling. Only thing that scares me is the reliability....still got 6 months on the warranty (so far so good) so wish me luck bro! Lol. Hope your channel blows up even more!
Massive congrats my friend glad you got one and you’re right it’s such a great driving machine I’m very pleased with these Alfas and would consider leasing one for sure
My 18 stelvio ti sport is doing well 55k miles, I'd get an inspection done before warranty ends
Not because of any issues, it's usually free, but mines been good, very reliable, I feel as confident with it as my 16 subaru forester only the alfa handles better in the snow
@@stevegrennan5419 thanks for that, will do!
As I understand u have to get to deal and make recalls if your car is in recall and u will not have any problems at all , because car has a lot of electrical things . I mechanical side alfa is good ! Alfa has a lot software update for brakes, engine , gearbox , ABS and much more electric things, if u do updates u will be ok
Sempre bellissima! Sempre TOP! CROCE E SERPENTE ALFISTA PER SEMPRE!
Thanks Kevin.
Appreciate you dropping in my friend!
It's an awesome looking, sporty vehicle! It stands out, because you don't see very many of them, like BMW, and Audi.
Yea my friend I agree they are rare and very good looking
I've had my 2023 Stelvio Veloce for two months now. It's shockingly perfect, with a solid built quality usually only found in German vehicles. Two issues with this otherwise excellent review: (1) Limited slip differential is standard on the Veloce; you don't need to move to the Estrema to get this; (2) Whereas I agree paddle downshifts are a little lackadaisical; however, this is only in "N/Natural" mode. When in "D/Dynamic" mode, it snaps shifts off with a distinctive and satisfying surge. Other reviewers make particular note of this.
4:03 - Aside from top speed, they're not that similar on paper, unless you're comparing other versions beyond the 2.0l.
The Stelvio offers more power with less weight. It feels quicker, because it is. 😊
The best trim model is the Sprint. Just add packages like the dual pane sunroof and the red calipers for looks, but keep the 18 inch wheels. The higher trims come with 19 to 21 inch wheels which will make the ride quality harsh. The 18 inch wheels gives it a sporty yet quiet, comfortable and luxurious ride. I wish they would make the 18 inch wheels standard on all trims and have the bigger wheels an option. I can't emphasize enough that wheel sizes SIGNIFICANTLY affects ride quality. I also wish reviewers mention that more often.
11:04 Spot on! ...your comment on the 2.9V6 engine. It is indeed based / inspired in the Ferrari F154 engine, but it's a new engine design.
I had a 3L Q5 and it was indeed dull to drive due to being forward drive biased. It just like a box being pulled everywhere. My GLC actually felt more fun to drive as it was rear wheel biased. Now I have an XC60 and it feels slightly less boring than the Q5 to drive. But I bought it to cruise around my family in comfort so not an issue.
I’m sorry my friend I just now saw this, thanks again for sharing hope you’re loving your new XC60 it’s such a unique vehicle! Feel free to update me whenever
The "G" in Quadrifoglio is SILENT !!!
liked this review. Good info. Will be in the market for new suv in the next year or so. Have a similar shaped 2016 infiniti qx70s approaching 130k trouble free miles. My concern is the maintenance history with alfa vehicles and the like. The dynamics are what I am looking for but frequent trips for maintance issues is a deal breaker. Warranty or no warranty, enough issues running a business. Being stuck on the road waiting for a loaner car? No.
I’ve heard 2020 and up have been significantly improved in quality but I don’t blame you for being hesitant.
My mechanic has one of these in his shop now-the electronics on that particular car are a mess but it was an early production car. 2020 to current are allegedly better. Test drove one some months back and it blew my X3 away in terms of dynamics.
Yea that’s what I heard as well 2020 and up seems to be a much better improvement in quality I would def stay away from early models. Hell I would only lease a new one since they tank in value
@@MeynMotorGroup i'd do a cpo assuming i could get an extending warranty-i'm told mopar's is a good one.
@@paulbugoni2846 the warranty is good but used car prices are still too high rn
Barring a very, very little amount of additional load space, is there any reason to drive one of these heavier, jacked, up grocery carts instead of a Giulia?
You really would have to value the raised ride height and perhaps cargo to choose this over a Giulia
I’m a hatchback guy, not a trunk guy. And I’m fifty-ish, so don’t like to fall in / climb out of my cars anymore.
You can't fit people over 6ft tall in the back of a Giulia...
The Stelvio dynamically is MUCH more fun and wild than the Porsche Macan, specifically the Quadrifoglio vs GTS trim. Mostly due to its feel of light weight, lightning fast steering, and that gem of an engine. Macan on the other hand feels heavy, and too perfectly sorted to be fun, although equally capable. The seating position is lower/better, and build quality is...well Porsche.
You described it perfectly
@@MeynMotorGroup do you still have your LC500? Yours is a 2018 right? I find the later model year too soft. When I first got the Stelvio Quad I almost sold the LC, until I sat in it, and revved it to 7000 😂😂. Special experience to each its own.
@@StereoHound nah sold it to buy a house 🏠 got a 2022 RX 350 now
@@StereoHound wow awesome channel my friend I just subscribed you should def keep making more vids
@@MeynMotorGroup oh no! 😂 Well, smart move, congrats on the house!
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Please don’t buy because Alfa owners love to own something rare and beautiful 😊
Ditto lol
Foglio is pronounced folio. In Italian the g in "gl" is silent.
No journalist has ever pronounced that correctly 😂😂😂
@@MeynMotorGroup Actually 'gli' is pronounced as 'yee' in Italian. So it is sounded out phonetically as 'quad-dreh-fole-yee-o' (with an accent on the 'fole'). Va bene allora!
Engine is 100% Ferrari in the QV
It´s a good looking midsize SUV but you can see the interior layout is from 2017, maybe it´s slowly time for a new one because the sale numbers look not very good. Thank you Kevin.
It is from 2017 😅😂 def due for a refresh but that’s why it can be had so cheap rn at least in the states compared to a bimmer or Audi. Regardless of the value proposition, Alfa is pretty overlooked and not many people buy one here since hardly anyone knows what it is
@@MeynMotorGroup Cheap? maybe in North Amerika but unfortunately not here in Europe Kevin and maybe that is the reason why Alfa not sell as good the car. Now they have brought the Tonale, i think they can sell a lot more from this new compact SUV. Alfa needs money they must sell more cars.
@@alengreen589 well cheap is relative but these lease for under $700 a month tax & fees included zero down as opposed to like $800 a month for bimmers and Audis while offering better performance in my opinion after testing
@@MeynMotorGroup Another big problem with Alfa here in the states is the dealer network. If you're lucky to be near a good dealer, you can make a case to own one. I personally didn't have one, so I sold my Giulia. Great driving vehicle to be sure.
Oh that’s unfortunate there’s multiple Alfa dealers where I live but I agree and that is a good point, I wouldn’t touch an Alfa without good dealer support near by. Gulia must be amazing to drive
It just need a little more power
well they have the QV for that.. for about twice as much money
@@MeynMotorGroup exactly this guy is tripping an SUV wth 0-60 in 5.5 he clearly not know what he's talking about ! And hit has the torque ! You don't overwhelm an engine to blow smh smh lord.
Yo bro
Hey brother appreciate your love and support like always! Would be interested in getting your thoughts on Alfa
@@MeynMotorGroup No problems bro and I’ll let u know soon as I watch have to binge watch some of your videos lol 🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾
@@MeynMotorGroupSo far it looks okay bro not really my cup of tea but of course I would try driving it since it’s a Sports vehicle lol let u know the rest after I finish watching it 🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾
@@theodoreyoung8777 I feel you bro my favorite in the Alfa line is def that Gulia sedan because much like you, I gotta rock a sedan 😎
@@MeynMotorGroup Yup bro lol totally agree always my first choice that big body sedan 😎🤝
They say toyota innova is better than this.
Let the blind lead the blind
If u will test Giulia TI it will be perfect not QV just regular Giulia
