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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
