    This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia.Our test model is the Giulia T1 Sport in Verde Visconti Metallic, a lovely green colour. I’ve found it difficult to capture the beauty of this colour in my pictures; it looks quite stunning in person and changes based on light, angles and reflections. This Alfa Giulia has a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission, 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque. It has a top speed of 240 km/h/149 mph and it’s AWD only in Canada. In the US, RWD and AWD are available. There is also another engine available in the Giulia, a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 with 505 horsepower. The Quadrifoglio is a different beast, but this turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine is still impressive with its crisp driving dynamics. The iconic V Scudetto Grille, first introduced in 1934 has evolved many times over the years. In Italian, scudetto means little shield and when you see this grille, you know it’s an Alfa Romeo; it distinguishes them from other brands. The Sport front fascia on the T1 Sport models has large air intakes to supply more cool air in order to boost performance. Our test model has 19” dark 5-hole aluminum wheels with yellow brake calipers and black Alfa Romeo script. There are black accents throughout the exterior including, a dark grille, dark mirror caps and badging. The active driver assistant package on this T1 Sport is standard, it includes, active blind spot assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beam headlamp control, driver attention alert, intelligent speed assist, lane keep assist and traffic jam assist. The Alfa Romeo Giulia had an interior refresh in 2020 and it needed it. It does not come with the biggest touchscreen in its class; it has an 8.8” screen. You can still control the screen with the centre console dial similar to BMW. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes standard with a 10.25” touchscreen and a 12.3” digital instrument cluster. In the Giulia you’ll find a 7” full colour instrument cluster. The BMW 3-series comes standard with the same size screen as the Giulia, an 8.8” but you can upgrade to a 10.3” screen. As for the Audi A4, it comes standard with a 10.1” touchscreen. Other standard features on the Giulia include, heated leather seats, a heated steering wheel, Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Our test model has some extra features through a package like sport seats, heated rear seats, a cargo net, wireless charger and Harman Kardon Audio system. Leather seats are a big one; they come standard on the Giulia. The 3-series and C-Class come standard with leatherette and the A4 has leather-seating surfaces. All of the German brands offer ventilated front seats as an option, but the Giulia doesn’t offer this feature on any trim. Size wise, the Giulia is equivalent to the BMW 3-series, C-Class and Audi A4 when it comes to 2nd row legroom and rear headroom. It does have a little more front legroom than the others. The G70 offers the least amount of 2nd row space.

    Great reviews guys. I own the exact vehicle you tested. Turbo lag was an issue but was easily remedied with a Madness GoPedal. All but eliminates it. I have had zero issues with car to date. The 20 and 21's have been extremely reliable. The 17 and 18's, especially the Quads, not so much. Have no issues with the smaller info screen. Love that it is integrated into the dash and agree that I don't need to see what I am looking at in a larger format. Disappointed that Alfa is dropping the Verde Visconti in 2022. but that makes my car all the more special. Definitely glad I took the chance and would do it again.

      @@michaelwiebe4282 you haven’t driven one if you think that. No comparison imo. A base 40k Giulia has better handling and driving dynamics than my 70k B9 S4. No question. It is much sharper, feels lighter, less understeer, 50/50 weight distribution, RWD (even the Q4 is 100% RWD until slip is detected), and you actually feel connected to the car. The Germans are so sterile and numb by comparison. Drive one and you will understand (if you are a true driving enthusiast).

    The reliability question is quite simple to answer actually. When you take a look at the comments of every Giulia/stelvio review you can see almost every real owner is happy about the car and his reliability and the non owners know better and keep playing the same song because some magazine had issues in the first production year, a friends friend had problems or even say they are not reliable 'just because it is'. I would take the owners more serious than the 'know it all's'. Now this doesn't mean you can't have bad luck just as it goes with many products and brands. Thing is the impression often is made you have to be lucky to get a reliable one instead of bad luck to get a unreliable one and that's just not the case.

The Giulia has been on sale in the US since 2017, so if 4 years is what you consider "decades old comments/reviews," then you have a very different definition of decades than I do. Stelvio is even newer than that. I'm talking about all these 2017+ MY vehicles that people are endlessly complaining about and having issues with. Take about 5 seconds and do some research on Google and you will see what I mean. Stop spewing your blatant AR propaganda, makes you seem like a Stellantis employee with something to gain by lying about the garbage AR produces.

    I love driving Alfa Romeo. Giulia's passionate driving experience is unparalleled in a class of rational German and Japanese, even American sports sedans. But the iffy reliability has scared me. Just like German rivals, leasing an Alfa is the best bet even if the residual value isn't as attractive. Just like a Ferrari, Alfa feels so special that one should treat one as a "second fun car".

    I think it is a gorgeous vehicle.. Not a big fan of the wheels.. That interior colour is fantastic. It would be my pick. My last vehicle was a 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe and I ordered it with the available Kona Brown interior. A stunning interior. Everyone loved it.. Personally, if available, I always like to get a vehicle with an interior colour other than black. Yes, I agree, leasing this vehicle would be the way to go.

    Owning an Alfa Stelvio 2.0 280hp for 5 years this year and super happy with it…just went to the dealer for the same Giulia as in the video for the 2nd family car, 3rd Alfa overall…same reliability as our current volvo V90 so no problem on that side! bmw (owned 2 as well) audi and co are good cars but none have the heart and soul of an Alfa! Like J. Clarkson once said, you’re not a true petrolhead unless you’ve owned an Alfa…it’s true!

Those surveys, both in the US and Europe (in English and French!), always show Alfa Romeo near the bottom, so I'm not going to waste time arguing this well-established fact.

    I agree about the infotainment screen - 8.8 inches are more than enough. I am bemused by all the honking big screens that are becoming the rage today. These screens are so obtrusive.
    This is a car, not a giant smartphone. The size of the screen doesn't make the user interface easier to use. I mean, how often does one fiddle with the settings anyway? I generally set it once and not touch it again for months.

    When we were stationed to Germany one guy in our unit bought an Alfa Romeo he was the envy of our unit of 700 guys!!! It was a gorgeous car it stood out amongst all the other hot hatchbacks we all bought instead. Back in the 90's though it seemed to be a rust bucket... but in that Alfa Red it was just stunning to look at!!! Looking on Kijiji there are only 28 cars listed in all of Canada and most of them are only a couple of years old at $30K so that tells me they either don't sell many here or people don't sell them!!! my guess is that they don't sell too many vehicles!!!

The major difference I find with the Subaru WRZ STi aside from the fact that it feels more solid, much nicer interior, better audio system, etc.., is that the handling is crisper but without the punishing ride that I experienced in the STi. I had a Jaguar XE before the STi and I can say that this handles much better than that car too, thought that car also had a nicer interior, etc... and a good ride (it felt kind of boring though, while the Giuilia does not).

    Reliability ratings are not about whether or not you will experience problems. They're about the *likelihood* that you may experience problems. If you're lucky, you'll have no issues. If you're not lucky, too bad.

    It is a nice Alfa. The man has right it could have been just a bit more sporty in basic trim. That is how an Alfa shoud appear. However the sporty image isn't what it has been in Europe meaning slimmed down. Alfa has always had good seats. The price is too high here (starting at 62214, Canadian Dollars for a simple 2liter petrol 280 horse) (we are close to Itally? ) so customers go shopping with BMW. The Stelvio sells reasonably here.
