I have a Stelvio Quadrifoglio Rosso Tri-competizione. I can relate to everything said in the video. I find myself slowing down and creating space (several car lengths), put in Race mode, Switch to manual, drop it to 2nd and punch it and feel what Falcon X might feel like launching as I click the paddles just for the fun(feel) of it!!! Awesome! A true "meccanica della emozioni"...
I shouldn't tease myself by watching these vids on the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, but I can't help it. That said, I have yet to see a reviewer not have a broad smile on their face while driving it, and it generally happens around the first time they push it. Must be something about the sound and the handling as they're doing it that automatically generates that sensation. Anyways, nice review and thanks for posting.
I’ve had mine for 6k miles and totally agree with your review. Only thing i will change with mine in the near future is to drop the ride height a few inches - more in line with the way the launch car looked. Mpg in the real world as a daily is around 22.5 and I don’t tend to hang around.
Excellent content as always but the editing/production quality just keeps getting better and better - well done! I have a Giulia QV and as much as I love the car, I think your comment about a Q4 option was spot on. Probably just too far off from what most enthusiasts wanted but even the M3 is going that way in its new iteration.
Pete its good to see there is no mention of reliability when you do a great reveiw. Unlike most reviewers people need to get over the word reliability and alfa any car is as reliable as its owner. i own a beautiful trofo white giulia quadrifoglio amazing car. Ive owned alot of makes over the years and apart from lancia there is no other make of car that gets so deep in your heart as these marques there fantastic keep up the great work on your channel from a true alfisti
They all have Apple Carplay as standard, this is all you need, the icons stand out beautifully on the infotainment centre. The perfect package, I pick my new one up in about 2 weeks from James Appleyard at the Slough dealership (highly recommend buying from him).
Hi Ped What a fantastic car!🤗🤗 Why can,t Audi make an RSQ5 to match that, guess it might not be able to recreate the Italian soul. Great to see Pooch & Pup again, been missing them.😍
As I assumed it would be you have done a great job with this review. I also appreciate that you always allow the engine to get to temperature before you start with the fun stuff. I have taken a close look at the Giulia Quadrifoglio, but when the Stelvio Quadrifoglio was mentioned that became my vehicle of interest. I am looking and waiting for the right one to come along, and the practicality of an SUV wrapped around a racing engine just makes it more appealing to me. I have owned a perfect C63 AMG, which was really great, but stupidity had me go into a Shelby GT350, which as great as that car was, did not compare to the AMG in daily driving for me. Prior to that was a 2012 Boss 302 which was probably my favorite car. Way back in the day it was an older 911, but it was ran over by a huge truck at a stop light, so that ended that. Due to work and traveling I have made some really idiotic decisions with my vehicles, and now I am in a 2018 Edge Sport, which as fun as it is to drive, it just isn't the Alfa. So I'm not on the search and will let you know how it goes. But my next vehicle will be an Alfa with a Q somewhere in the name. Thanks for doing such a great job with your reviews.
Living here in New England with roads like the moon , and weather I’ve decided to trade in my Guilia 🍀 for the Stelvio 🍀 this week. Certainly an increase in cost but I’m hoping much more useable. Not to say my Guilia wasn’ta daily driver but all wheel will Sure help confidence. I love these darn machines.
Great review Pete, well done! I really like this car and think it's a really tempting proposition, far more so than the Giulia, which isn't practical enough for me. Sure it drinks a bit of SUL but let's face it a Cayenne Turbo S isn't famed for its economy either. The lack of Android Auto in a modern car is inexcusable though.
It’s not the sort of car I’m usually interested in but after watching this video it has definitely changed my mind. It looks really fun to drive especially for an suv. Really enjoyed the video by the way Pete it was extremely informative
Hi there...after all these lovely words and very enthusiastic. Vid. About one of the few brilliant cars out there right now...and there he goes to choose a mini as his new car !!!
Mate , Don't show that car to Thomas on Autogefuhl , He calls it Thomas Blue , You won't be sued but you'll be Thomased !! Great car and great video .. Love your Channel Pete ..
Great review, can't quibble with your comments (other than the bit about Carplay/Android Auto - I believe they all have it, albeit wired connection only on earlier cars like the one you drove). However, as an owner (lucky me!!) I fear you missed one other significant fly in the ointment - servicing costs. Mine is 4 years old and has only 22k miles on the clock (possibly as a result of the fuel economy you mentioned causing previous owners to keep the mileage down...). At 4 years (or 38k miles, whichever comes first) these cars require a belt service in addition to the oil/filters/plugs etc. A franchised Alfa Romeo dealer will want around £2k to do this service!!! Even going to an independent specialist will still leave your wallet £1400-£1600 lighter. The main reason being that unlike pretty much any other car on the planet, where auxiliary drive belt replacement requires only a little bit of dismantling, the design of the Alfa V6 requires essentially the whole front end of the car to be removed: Bumper, radiators, A/C, intercoolers, induction system, alternator, you name it, it has to come off. Local independent tells me it's a full two days' work to do it all... And don't get me started on the price of brakes (front discs £300+ *each* for the steel ones, heaven only knows how much if you opt for the carbon ceramics!). Yes, yes, I know you don't expect cars with this sort of performance to be cheap to run, but £2k+ for a service? It's a family SUV, not a flippin' Ferrari!
Excellent review. What a truly stunning car and with amazing performance. It looks very nice in blue and the spec is brilliant but I agree that the MPG is a bit eye watering, however as you say there has to be a compromise somewhere.
Great review. Together with a few other reviews it encouraged me to test drive a Montecarlo Blue Stelvio Q, of which I am since a few days back a proud owner. I was initially planning to buy a Giulia Q. Your information about fuel consumption is relevant. Not everyone buying a car like this is made of money, or devoid of environmental consciousness. I have averaged 26.4 British MGPs since I bought it, but then again I am quite a gentle driver. Feel free to watch my first video of the car on my channel.
Came and looked for this video as I had to comment that whenever I watch Formula 1 on Sky and they do the ad for this as they take the break I don't hear the voice they use but yours.
Hi pete just watched you thrashing the stelvio . A true Q car if ever there was one. Not sure I would be smiling to much if I was watching the fuel gauge going from full to empty in two hours driving. anyway good luck this weekend at donington.Regards Simon.
26mpg on highway cruise is fantastic for a 500hp suv with twin turbos. My mustang 5.0 v8 gets 26mpg which is very good for 450hp but coupe aerodynamics.
One thing you did forget to mention Pete. That lovely motor you've been driving, in that spec, is around £80k........ouch! Ceramic brakes would add another £6k😲
For w big SUV I dont think mpg is too bad. Hell fire my cla45 wasn't doing much better! The m4 I'll get 32mpg on a mic motorway a road b road in eco mode so really 26 for SUV isnt bad imo
Do i take that you would take the Stelvio over the Giulia? The latter with an estate body and 4 wheel drive would be the real choice, but they don't seem to want to do that. Would take the fight to the avants, have the space and be more aerodynamic.
Little update: my Stelvio Quadrifoglio (5-2018) made 21,2 miles per gallon on average the last 25.000 miles (50% in R / 25% in D / 25% in N and A) with Euro 95 Octane unleaded as described in the manual. That's very 'thirsty' but you forget about that as soon as you use the car and are lucky enough to not have to worry about that.... ;-))
Thank you very much Pete for showing us this interesting SUV. How nice is England. Someday I'll be back. I want to buy the two puppies ... the ones that come with the car. Greetings ..
I only had it for a week so can't comment from personal experience. I had heard both sides of the story. I have several friends with Alfas that have had not issues whatsoever, but I've heard some horror stories too 😳
I'm only 11 minutes into the video (which has been great so far btw)....A question has sprung to mind, I have a Giulia QV, love it btw, however, one thing I found out after buying it is, the engine has to come out to do a belt change every 30k miles, is it the same for the Stelvio ? The mileage issue is something you have to learn to live with, if they Stelvio is anything like the Giulia, well l;ets put it this way, there are cars that are made to run to the shops etc, the Giulia is made to stretch it's legs, to make you get out of the car smiling, even when you are picking up speeding tickets....For economy, pick up a Tesla....
@@PetrolPed I should also clarify, it's the accessory belt, the cam uses a chain, still it puts the 30k service at something around $3000....True if you are buying a $70k car you should be able to deal with a $3k service every 30 k miles, but it does have me wondering about the boy racer brigade later on in the cars life.
Thank you for testing the fuel economy in "a" mode! I was wondering about that. When you brake, do you use engine braking and disc brakes, or only the disc brakes?
How's the IBS braking with steel. Not a single review on youtube really goes into the brake by wire system. I read many horror stories about the brake by wire system and some say it's impossible to drive smoothly in stop and go traffic, for me that would be a total deal breaker. Can you shed any light on that?
You honestly wouldn’t know it was BBW on the steels. Nice feel at slow speeds and effective when you push hard. The carbons were just a bit soft and lacking in feel at slow speed but again amazing when really needed 👍
I can shed some light on that: i've driven my Stelvio Q4 (Misano Blue) for some 13.000 miles by now.... in the beginning the bbw was total horror: couldn't make a 'taxi-stop' at all... forget about taking your gran for a trip ... ;-)) but..... you learn to live with it.... and getting better in using the brakes in the proces. In heavy city traffic: just use the adaptive cruise control: that works just fine. But there are some other quirky things that were not mentioned: This very expensive car has got no front fog-lights .... come again?? There is no interval switch on the back window wiper: so I always forget to stop the bloody thing..... and there are a few other ergonomic flaws......... one remedy : put the pedal to the metal and the smile appears on your face like the ones in the vid.... ;-))
@@sergiuswai9514 Be warned !! If you've got the money to buy it ...... you will after a testdrive !! It happened to me .... I thought '' I'll get over the quirky things " and I did. This car is a real joy to drive ;-)
I mentioned the BHP at the beginning. Sorry I didn't mention the cost. I was trying to bring you things you can't Google. This car would be circa £80k 👍
@@PetrolPed Yes, great to meet you too!. Well done in the Enduroka, some good lap times and consistent driving.Very quick considering you are not able to get lots of practice!
You could have recorded the exhaust note for your new intro... 🤔 Hope the build quality has improved since I had my 159 jtdm Lusso... I did like the steering wheel on my Alpha, reminded me of the Sierra Cosworth..
A fun review, and as SUVs go, I don't mind the shape of it too much. But 500ph and 500the other, who needs that? All it means is that you can go blisteringly fast and who wants that?? The only Alfa I've ever driven was my dad's Alfasud and that was chuffin' brilliant!!!
Alfa giulia / stelvio are the best driving cars 100%.
I have a Stelvio Quadrifoglio Rosso Tri-competizione. I can relate to everything said in the video. I find myself slowing down and creating space (several car lengths), put in Race mode, Switch to manual, drop it to 2nd and punch it and feel what Falcon X might feel like launching as I click the paddles just for the fun(feel) of it!!! Awesome! A true "meccanica della emozioni"...
Love this 😍
Has it been pretty reliable!?
since Alfa Romeo's back to united states of america ...i said goodbye to the germans and japanese cars!
as I did.
Now that`s shown the Germans how to do it!....Yes it may not be perfect but it has the style and charisma that only Alfa Romeo can do...

Whoosh!!! Those wheel designs are a work of art, Pete. There just doesn't seem enough metal there to transmit all the torque from hub to tyre!!!👍🏼
I am sure they were designed to cope 👍
Hi Ped

Why can,t Audi make an RSQ5 to match that, guess it might not be able to recreate the Italian soul.

Is the wing mirror in the way because you lowered the seat ?
What was the 0 - 60?
stupenda
Sounds nice. Cheap interior
Interior far from cheap looking. I has a really premium feel 👌
Great
O no! 11th..Darnit, missed out again
Great to meet you yesterday. Thank you so much for coming along 🙏
@@PetrolPed Yes, great to meet you too!. Well done in the Enduroka, some good lap times and consistent driving.Very quick considering you are not able to get lots of practice!
You could have recorded the exhaust note for your new intro... 🤔 Hope the build quality has improved since I had my 159 jtdm Lusso... I did like the steering wheel on my Alpha, reminded me of the Sierra Cosworth..
A fun review, and as SUVs go, I don't mind the shape of it too much. But 500ph and 500the other, who needs that? All it means is that you can go blisteringly fast and who wants that?? The only Alfa I've ever driven was my dad's Alfasud and that was chuffin' brilliant!!!
awesome car but I would go for the GLC63s I know its alot more expensive but still...
Wheels are tiny on what is a gorgeous car,
Wheels are 20” which is not tiny. They just look that way 😜
👌👌👌
Alpha charlie echo ACE Review Pete 👍🏁🏁🧽
Thank you my friend 🙏🏻
It sounds quite noisy inside.
Camera mics always make cars sound more noisy than they really are 👍
Why o why? Dont do it anymore please, this is Alfa!
BMW WHO ?
All crossovers are hideous but this one is probably the least ugly. Porsche's is not awful either, I suppose.
