I’m in Australia and presently fighting stage 4 prostate cancer with radiation therapy. It really sucks :( I’m in my seventies and have owned 3 Alfas from the mid seventies until 2010 when health issues forced me to sell the last, my 24 year old 1984 Giulietta 2L. If I ever recover you have shown me the exact car I would love to own to see me out. Even down to the colour. I can now dream. Thank you 🙏

3 months later how are ya doin big man?

Got the same car in "Blu Misano" colour. Same rims and the red brake calipers. Veloce trim, MY 2023 (CY 09.2022), bought in 12.2022. Absolutely happy with it. Personally, I don't need the 2024 facelift because I think the old Bi-Xenon headlights are nicer than the new LED headlights anyway. The car is so much fun to drive and the 2.0T I4 engine offers enough power for daily using. For a sedan, the Giulia is very nimble and sporty. The drive feels light, agile and direct. So emotional. At first I thought about buying a BMW, Audi or Mercedes, but I'm so glad I chose the Alfa. In terms of quality, the Germans may be slightly ahead, but when it comes to driving pleasure and emotions, they can't hold a candle to an Alfa.

Driving Giulia is something very special experience, it feels like small size Panamera Porsche, I drove a4 3 series c class but in reality none of them is comparable to this very beautiful extremely nice driving car. About reliable it is like same or maybe better than germans

Got a '23 Estrema which has the adaptive suspension and all the carbon fiber exterior and interior trim. The facelift is nice but you can't get the CF stuff anymore without going to the QV so I'm very happy with my decision

Same, the Estrema is as close as you get to a QF with the two litre engine as the trim seems to have come from the QF parts bin. I much prefer the alcantara seats (which only comes on the European version I think) and the QF wheels to the face lifted Competizione. I’d like the LED lights though

Awesome. Sounds like they fixed many of the bugs from the early years.

Please do not turn the steering wheel when the car is standing still. It’s very bad for the steering system. Turn it only when the car is rolling.

No it’s not… If anything if you do it 1000x it will wear out the tires.. that’s about it.

This is a non issue on modern cars unless you have some kind of performance car with aggressive rubber or suspension set up.. Tesla even lets you use the wheel and turning the tires while charging to play a video game on the screen.. www.reddit.com/r/Cartalk/comments/9y6h5p/damaging_tyres_by_turning_wheels_while_stationary/ this should help you too. It’s a non issue 99% of the time unless like i said, you are doing to constantly and aggressively nonstop for days or hours at a time… If the automaker didn’t want you to turn the wheel while you are stationary they wouldn’t let you. A bit amazed you don’t have this basic knowledge.

@@Allcarnewshe said it's bad for the steering system, not the tires. And Reddit obviously is not a reliable source of information. If you ever tried turning the wheels of a car with no power steering while stationary, you know that it requires much more force than in motion. So that extra force translates to strain/pressure on the hydrolics of the car, which in makes it fail sooner. Of course, if you only drive new cars, it's a non issue, as basically any maintenance tip.
