I've had mine for 13 months, driven from Maine to Miami and back. A truly great car. Never had any problems, no warning lights, etc. Love this car. A friend with experience with Ferrari bought one saying its more than just the engine is Ferrari engineered. Rush out and get one while the market is soft. Some great deals out there.

Those green accents in the interior are pretty damn neat.

I bought a new giulia quad after having a bmw m4 and m3. Destroys both of them put together.

90s on 9?? I see you’re a man of culture, Steve, and have excellent taste! lol

I love my Infiniti G35S to death and if I was in the market for something similar but with more modern gusto, it would definitely be that Giulia ... because of the column-mounted magnesium paddle shifters alone. LOL Every time I see one or a Stelvio, I get excited seeing it like a toddler sees Santa. Of course reliability is always an issue but for sheer driving dynamic and theatrics, I know I’d have a field day with it. - Top-shelf review as always, Steve! 🔥

I have carbon ceramics and have abused this car on a track multiple times and i have never gotten the brakes out of “cold”

As always, great review, Steve. The only errors were calling it midsized when it is surely a compact sedan and comparing it to an Audi A6 when it's true competitors are the BMW M3, Mercedes C63 and Audi RS4. Anyways, keep up the good work!

Willfastbackse The EPA classifies it as a midsize. It’s really a tweener: bigger than compact, though. And what engine does the S6 have? A 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6. Roughly the same size, too. And roughly the same price. Much more comparable than an S4.

@@stevehammes Actually the S6 competes with the BMW M550i. The true competitors to the Giulia Quad are the M3, C63 and RS4/RS5.

Such high praise. I'd really like to drive this car. Hi Nicolette!

The lack of dealers is a real issue :( . A Ti with performance pack would be awesome. Asked the local Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat dealer if the would do warranty work on an Alfa, no dice.

BMW's new grille designs aren't ordinary Steve. They're horrible. And everybody who has bashed Lexus for the spindle grille design needs to apologize. And do you have any insight at all whether or not Alfa's reliability has notched upwards? I think that is the biggest obstacle to prospective owners. Fantastic review yet again Mr. Hammes!!

I thought Nicolette would make an appearance, but not so. And the funny thing is this... your Alfa Romeo dealership is no longer in your area, but there are 2 here in the Indianapolis area. Unusual. Especially when there's one one Lexus, Lincoln, and Audi dealerships respectively in a metro area of 800,000.

Admired the ideal design of Alfa Romeo GIulia.

Wow very elegant

Que decir de Alfa Romeo que no sepamos los que nos gusta el motor y estamos puestos en el mundillo, aunque por lo visto hay mucho profano que le gusta hablar de oidas y poner a parir a la marca sin tener ni idea, sin haber tenido uno o ni siquiera a ver probado alguno. Las malas lenguas.... Yo he tenido un 33, un 75, un 156, un Giulietta QV y ahora sigo apostando por la marca y tengo este Giulia QV y sin duda el que ha cumplido todas mis expectativas. El coche es sencillamente increible, nunca habia probado un coche con una dirección tan directa y lo que vale para la direción, vale para todo el comportamiento en general, agarre y aplomo, pero es que ademas es una autentica bestia. Un pedazo de Alfa Romeo. Con este me sobra el trio Aleman, asi de sencillo. En diseño les pasa el trapo. Ademas a mi personalmente me sobran las pantallitas y tanta tablet, este es analogico y deportivo, como le caracteriza a todo un Alfa. Saludos.

@@rahxe80 Well yeah, the M3 doesn't have the big motor that this has, yet it's still slower and handles much worse. That's the direction BMW decided to go into, sacrificing performance and driver feel for accommodations like a sunroof. Some people like them for it, but many BMW fans hate them for it and think they've lost their way. Alfa decided to go in a different direction and not sacrifice, and that's why fans of the driving experience love them for it. Also why it's beaten out the M3 and C63 in pretty much every review. Of course everyone can have their own taste and they do offer a different trim with a sunroof.

All watched.

The Giulia gas individual style.

Yes Alfa! Uhhh, what's a "shamrock"?

Alternative to Audi S6? Wait, what? If you wanna compare it to an Audi, you should probably pick RS5 4door since there’s no RS4 sedan, but S6 is way too big to be comparable (different class) and also way too slow (QV is RS competitor). Especially now with S6 being a diesel with the most horrendous fake exhaust on the market...

DO WANT..

Audi S6 is a bigger class than Giulia. It competes more with BMW 3-series, Audi A4, Mercedes C-class, Jaguar XF, Volvo S60 etc.

@@stevehammes Nah, you are wrong. They are even marketed as a competition for the cars i mentioned. You might call if differently over seas, but around here where all this cars are made, they are in the same class. A6, 5-series, E-class, S90, XF etc are all in the class above.

It still may hold the title of fastest 4 door under $100,000... not sure. But 3.8 is fast 0-60 . My Ferrari is only half a second faster. Again not bad for a 4 door. I had a 2018, lots of fun, very hard to use the brakes smoothly in normal driving. It was all on or off. Made you feel like an idiot with others in the car. Grip was off the chart. Super, super car. I had the Bypass Exhaust valve by FORZA, that way you hit a button and it sounds like it is in full race mode, all the pops and snaps without risking your neck. And it will do it in any position of the DNA dial. Now that wicked. But I kept it 8 months and lost an eye watering $23,000. I was expecting maybe a 10,000 drop the first year. So maybe buy a 2018 for $56,000. But hard to beat a new car.

DEAL BREAKER 3:48 - Double Overheating!! Was this car given to you by FCA? Free car for one week? Free gasoline? If you crash FCA pays? Do proper payola announcements in the beginning. Follow Federal Trade Commission guidelines. Please, best wishes

Every review = we had it a week and had many issues.. Every alfa owner = I've had 100 Alfas and never had any issues...or I got rid of my (insert German make here) because it was unreliable and got an Alfa - no issues. Someone is lying.....
