Awesome video. It’s been great to share the journey with you. I’m on the 18 month anniversary with my QV. I had the same issue with the fuel sensor - was advised not to let the tank go beneath one third full. Also had the alarm sensor replaced and the external temp gauge replaced.

Excellent video and as well as your 1 year ownership video. I own a 2018 Giulia Quadrifoglio (Alfa Rosso exterior with yellow brake calibers) that I purchased in late Oct. 2018. Mine is exactly like yours with the exception of the front seats. I have done only a few modifications. I just replaced the air filter (BMP and Sprint air filters) and tires (Michelin Pilot Sport 4s). I had the windows tinted with ceramic tint and had the entire front portion of the car, headlights, mirrors, and B and C pillars covered with PPF (XPEL Ultimate Plus). I graphene coated the entire car, including the rims and the yellow brake calibers) myself about 2 months. The only cosmetic upgrade that I have done is to replace the plastic rear diffuser with a carbon fiber rear diffuser from Koshi Group (very expensive - over $2,700 with labor and a military discount).

I have a Giulia, but you have fully convinced me to get a quad

This is a great review. I got a new Giulia Veloce 2 months ago and it’s perfect. So quick and comfortable, feels much smaller than it looks. Perfect for the English roads!

Everybody's saying they are using their cars for 2 years, 14 months, almost 2 years (and these are all old comments), but whenever they're getting asked how their car is holding up for long term daily driving, there's just no reply. I really like the style and the class of this car, but the lack of solid info about reliability is making me skeptical.

Hi, great ownership update! You have best content about this car on youtube I think. QV 2019, had two hickups this summer. Always when very hot weather. First was when after driving hard in race mode for over an hour, I stopped the car in front of my house for cca half an hour and then started it again and went straight for a highway, putting it to dynamic, going hard acceleration to cca 250km/h engine light went on. Dissapeared on fourth start. I had kinda low gas at that moment so I thought that was the reason. Than, couple days later, almost same thing but with gas tank more than half full. Also very hot weather, an hour or so going hard in race mode, than switching of to normal, cca twenty minutes in traffic, then againg highway, dynamic mode to 250km/h and engine light went on. 4th start it disappeared. Was working without problem ever since. Never went to dealership since last week and they weren't able to locate the error code anymore. So I guess I won't be pushing it too hard in the future when the weather is too hot:) No problems with overly eager alarm or involuntary imprisonment yet. Also bought the front grill cover straight from Koshi and it still looks great after a year or so. They even add the logo rim cover which is nice. For the couple small issues with the car for me: lights do seem always aimed too high, people hate me for it. Tried to adress it with almost no result. Then there is the tiny noise from the a/c when the temperatures are approaching zero celsius. So annoing. Do not looking forward to that one as winter inevitably approaches. Then here in Europe you must be very precise with placing your front licence plate, otherwise the front sensors goin mental time to time. And last but not least, the thumping noise between 160km/h and 200km/h. From what I've heard it's diff noise but some people said they replaced it and the sound stayed so I got used to it. At least I'm trying to keem my speeds under 160 most of the time and good thing is, that that 160-200 gap can be crossed really quickly if needed:) But as you said I also would not replace it and even if I wanted to I would not know with what, It's simply just that good. Also nice track choice in the beginning and the end of the video.

Great video and thanks for keeping them coming. I've followed you for over a year and really enjoy your passion for cars. I got my QV in 2017 and love driving it every single day. I purchased mine and plan to own it long-term. Question for you... you made reference to the fuel sensor/fuel rail regulator sensor that needs replacing. I got the following codes when driving hard: P0002 (fuel volume regulator control circuit), P0303, P0300, P00C6. It sounds like I got similar codes as you when you experienced car limp mode during testing of your brake pads. I got flames out of my exhaust when this happened, caused some external cosmetic damage, and while dealer read same codes that I did, when they scanned the car, they said my X-pipe and Forge recirc kit could've caused codes, raw fuel into exhaust, etc. Once they put stock mid-pipe and recirc valves back to stock, they couldn't replicate the codes and so other than replacing spark plugs,, air filter, etc, they aren't considering replacing any mechanical components, sensors, etc. Do you have any guidance, recommendations about how to proceed? Could my afternarket recirc kit have caused the issues? Can you recommend a tech/Alfa mechanic you trust in Central California? Thank you! Sincerely, Jonathan

I am coming up on the 2 year ownership mark of my Auto Fanatic featured Ferrari Inspired Super SUV which I bought after watching your true 4 door Ferrari video. I am at 43,000 miles on the odometer and can say that I've had 0 reliability issues other than a hard misfire code on the computer. I've used my 2018 AR Stelvio QV for my daily commute from Newburgh to the Bronx under all weather conditions and never had the slightest loss of confidence in the SUV. I have serious spine issues which I got 2 surgeries so far to repair and can agree with Phil that the vehicle is superb when it comes to driver comfort. The only mod I've had done was 60mm lowering springs which Phil recommended and I love the look and feel of the SUV, not to mention that it's easier for me to get in and out after surgery. Hopefully I can keep her, I'm struggling financially after being out of work due to illness since December 27, 2019. I'll cry a river but will be grateful that I got the pleasure of experiencing such a phenomenal feat of automotive engineering.

Just came out of my e92 M3 after 6 years of ownership, ( had 2 other m3s before this one) loved the E92. What a car they are. I now have a QV. 2019 with 15 k miles. They are very special car, chassis, steering and balance is sublime. Feels so nimble and glued to the road. Despite the enormous power and torque it has, the back axle can handle it, really good traction, I drive in race mode with dampers on mid. Despite missing the glorious NA v8 in the e92 , this V6 twin turbo really puts a smile of my face. Very addictive power delivery, super smooth and pulls hard to the limiter..feels like it could pull to 7500 rpm even. Brakes take a few days, but now that I am used to them I think they q great..really strong.Possibly one of the best turbo motors I have ever driven, lovely sound also. Really Italian ! My car is vesuvio grey, it looks stunning. Crazy the amount of people that look and comment on the beauty of the car. I can see myself keeping this for a long time.

Great video as always and objective which sets you apart from others. You are absolutely spot on this with asking whether the type of shoes one is using in terms of the feel of modulation of the IBS makes a difference. For me at least, it makes all the difference. The best feel and modulation that I get is with my "Car Shoe" brand type of shoes (I shall rush to say that I have no interest in Car Shoe nor the Prada S.p.A group). I use both moccasins and am lucky to own a pair of the Car Shoe Giulia Quadrifoglio Limited Edition racing type shoes I got together with the car. These shoes are the best for me at least for the overall feel of using the pedals including braking gently while in traffic but also when needing to really step on the brakes. On the flip side, Oxfords or Chelsea types do not work for me as the leather soles are rather slippery and do not provide me with enough confidence. In my humble opinion, the pedals work well with shoes constructed of hard rubber soles. I have never experienced in what is now going soon onto the 3rd year of ownership (about 22,000 miles) any of other other issues you mentioned in the video, including the horn and the driver side lock mechanism and I must also say that my Quadrifoglio is not lowered thus I have no opinion about that. Neither have I upgraded to any after market parts in terms of carbon fiber inserts. I have however experienced two things: the car threw a code for not being able to detect the electronic key (which simply proved to be an issue of replacing the battery that is found inside the key fob underneath the key itself) and a rather more serious one where while I was driving at semi hard acceleration from 2nd to 3rd gear it threw a "home limp" mode (the engine continue to run however with only 3 cylinders and the power felt as if All Weather had been chosen on the DNA selector) which proved to be a faulty turbo valve solenoid on the left cylinder bank (changed under warranty). Once it the solenoid valve was replaced, all was fine again and I have not had the same problem since. Finally, one irritating thing (of cosmetic character) which to my information has only been addressed with the introduction of the GTA and GTAm (which features a titanium exhaust system and a different design) is the poor quality of the vinyl compound of the rear bumper inserts around the exhaust pipe outlets. The chief mechanic at the Alfa Romeo dealership mentioned that the temperatures around the exhaust pipes over time is the root cause for the discolouration or fading of the black shade of the bumper and I was told to use vinyl protection to restore it. I had the same issue with my Maserati. Not sure if other Quadrifoglio owners experience this. Other than that, I shall completely agree with you and share your enthusiasm in terms of this product by La Casa del Biscione. It is a masterpiece of a car and it creates an addiction that is hard to give up on. I cannot distinguish any other car in this segment that offers the same levels of excitement, performance, practicality, style and feel other than the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Mine is a late 2018 model. Owners of this car would know what it feels like when in Race Mode and pushing this car through corners, how the combination of the responses of driver, engine, gear box, suspension and chassis dynamics become one in a fluid manner that is only comparable to Ferrari cars out there. And it is exactly this dimension that sets this car apart from its competitors.

Completely agree! I just completed 2 years on my QV as a daily and I initially thought I would replace it with a c63. I was hoping the QV would be rough enough to get on your nerves. But it has not been.

Great vid bro. I’m in NYC so that’s helpful to make a decision.

Thanks for giving the answer to why the brake feed back feels different depending upon the type of shoes that i wear. At first i thought that the brakes were way to sensitive but i get better braking response when i wear a flat bottom narrower shoe. #Man you should be a liaison between Alfaromeo and it's customers to solve quirky drivability issues. Thanks!

Thank you for not cruising in the passing lane. Best part of the video. Lol

Wonderful, no issues at all (except the car went into limp home mode.) ! And the alarm keeps going off and the horn blows when the wheel is turned. Oh, and the rear suspension caused me to go off the road several times. But it;s unbelievable, no issues at all.

Every time you make an ownership update of this car it makes we want one even more. I really hope people buy these cars so alfa will continue making enthusiast cars (especially that GTV coupe). I have the OEM Alfa Romeo full carbon fiber grill replacement part on my 2.0 Giulia. There's basically no one on the internet that even has that part let alone written about it. I almost was able to install it myself, but was afraid I would break the clips in the wheel wells when taking off the front bumper. It would be really good to see how it's done by a professional. Thank you for all your content on the Giulia platform. Funny enough whenever I go to play tennis I can never drive in my tennis shoes as I feel I loose confidence in the break pedal. I'll have to take notice with other shoes now. Owned the car for over two years. Went into limp mode once after driving it hard while still pretty cold and the digital cluster went out for a few days. So many people wrongly think the Giulia's are unreliable and not put together well, but it's not the case!

Had the same issue with the battery. The alarm is still pretty sensitive to changing weather conditions but its much more reliable with the new battery. Also - yes, agree about the brake pedal feel... big difference from a weekday work shoe and a weekend sneaker.

Really like how in depth you go with this review! I'd buy one right now if I could. I do have to say that limp mode did come on for a very good reason, sorry to say. You were beating it pretty hard and if you did that with any car, they will complain. My cars check engine light come on and flash at me if I am driving hard and keeping it in higher RPM's. Also, luxury European cars love to drain their batteries, especially Maserati. They always need to be plugged into a trickle charger. Either way, solid video!

I did the ST springs and love it. Regarding the brakes, I have the CCB and it seems consistent but it definitely different than other sports cars. I also had an issue when beating on the car. After full day of hard driving. I was actually pulling back home and my car just started stuttering and the check engine light came on. I pulled over to the side and the car shut off by itself. Service engine throttle controller popped up as a message as well. I tried to restart but it wouldn't turn or run smoothly. I turned it off and I let the car sit for like 10 min and it restarted smoothly but stayed in limp mode. Drove the car 3-4 times and it went back to normal and all codes went away. I did not get a chance to take it to dealer. This occured about 4 months ago. 2 days ago had the service engine throttle light come on while in race mode but driving normal. Went to dealership immediately before code cleared and they stated they needed to replace a boost solenoid valve. Part will be in 5 days. Restarted the car and it runs perfect and all lights went away. But will get the valve replaced and hope it never shows up again. Hopefully they fix your car for good. Good luck.

Is there a link/part # for the control arm that you used to get the proper camber for the rear? With the exception of tint, I have not modded the car yet and was thinking about the ST spring. The exhaust I considered the Centerline X pipe, but the stock exhaust is so good, don't want to mess with it.

Bro, this is great review video; there’s a little to be concerned about. I think I will buy as I’ll be a less aggressive driver 😂

Alfa s are great cars i have many of them that have almost 20 years old and they drive like a dream and older they become more beautifull they become!

Love the car and the insight that you have provided. BUT, if you're gonna drive at a high rate of speed then you should at least use your turning signals/blinkers/indicators so that everyone around you knows your planned moves. Drive safe boss.

I am on my second Rs4 b7 , up to the launch of QF there hasn’t been a replacement, Good to hear these are reliable , this will be my next buy 👍

yes this is due to front suspension geometry it is normal, if you switch tires to a Pilot Super Sport or other tire it does not do it unless the tires are in below freezing temperatures but with OEM Corsa tires it does it all the time. I think long term i bet if you make the car shudder badly often it will wear out the inner or outer tie rods or both.

It has had a couple of electrical gremlins. I did have a low voltage issue issue at 2.5 years. Got a new battery, and two weeks later came out to a COMPLETELY dead car. Jumped it, and it was gone, ie, no problems since. I do occasionally (3-4 times in 2.5 years) get a warning light about service electronic throttle control. It clears with my OBD II scanner, and doesn't affect performance at all. The car is a velvet hammer. It truly is a four door Ferrari. Mine's on a four year corporate lease. I may buy it, because I do truly love it. Mine's Misano blue, completely loaded, 2018.

great ownership report, very helpful

Glad it was helpful! Make sure you check my other videos on the car and my 1 year video as that highlights all the mods I made to it

I love the carbon console!

Great video! I love this car, one day I will own one. About the trim, you could replace the center console trim with the 2020 parts, it seems to be pretty much plug and play and it has a considerable better finishing and appearance

Great timing! My 2018 QV just had its 2-year service today. No issues at all, but I’ve sadly only driven it around 4,000 miles in 2 years. Agreed on how the brake-by-wire user experience is influenced by different shoes. I’ve found Goodyear Welted shoes with vegetable-tanned leather soles are best for modulating it; and sneakers the worst. I now only wear monk straps, wingtips, or bluchers whenever I drive my car! As compensation for us sticking with this ridiculous BBW system on what would otherwise be an automotive masterpiece, I wish Alfa Romeo HQ would compensate all QV owners with a complementary new pair of Carmina or Crocket & Jones shoes on each year of our ownership anniversaries 😁

thanks for sharing the shoe experience and yes sneakers are the worst in this car for the brake feel its just so odd

When Alfa replaced my motor they had it for the 2.5 months, I told you about. I cant imagine how long it would be during the shut down. But on the brighter side after 1.5yr Alfa Romeo is taking my car back first week in January as soon as they process the check, I am getting a Macan GTS.

Its good to see a positive review from an actual owner that is educated on this car. I think the media gives the quadrifoglio a bad reputation for reliability which scares away potential buyers. I have a Q50S and its been a disappointing car to own. I think I expected too much from it. I loved your review on the Q50 as well. Good luck with the Giulia.

its shame the Q50 has so much potential but they just are in a rut and need a serious platform overhaul, even the new 2021 models are unchanged its ridiculous.

Disappointing is practically Nissan's middle name at this point. They haven't been good since 2008. Squandered trust and corner cutting has led them to have such a fall from being in the top 3 japanese brands to being less reliable than the koreans these days. Looking for a better looking car that's reliable? See the 2021 Genesis g80... V6 trim, of course. I might add that I'm not a really a Nissan hater. Last 2 cars were Nissan's which is why admitting how bad the company has become is something I mourn.

@@jasonquinn4516 I have to agree with you. Even my Q50S has been a mess. It only had 9835 miles when I bought cpo from Infiniti. The car has a rattle in the engine bay that no one has been able to figure. Its been to Infiniti 6 times since I bought it in March of this year. The transmission is also currently slipping. Its scheduled to go to the dealership again on November 18th. The car has been horrible tbh. I've been in the nissan family since I got my license. I had a 97 maxima se, 03 maxima se, 12 G37X sedan, and now my Q50S.

a car that makes the heart beat

The sticky thing is like an issue even with another brands and products, if you remove that sticky black thing, the "plastic" is like smooth shinny surface. Anyways is like the production system (or like a coat of something) like you mention in the video, wierd to see in vehicles. Great review and advices! I still dreaming to get the 2021 (blue or green), but time will tell for now.
