the driving feel and great steering response is probably what alfa does best. and dare i say in terms of styling too?👀 this is much nicer looking than the x3, let’s be real

Careful Joe, you're getting a reputation for doing thorough, well reasoned reviews of nice machinery!. Everybody knows that KZread car channels must have an under-30's presenter who "owns" a supercar that he has five things he hates about it.

Video of stelvio taking corners n the sound it made is really fantastic. It's so so much better than revving it stationary. Great work Joe

Best car to have as a daily. Hands down. Cheers from a happy (and lucky) Stelvio Quadrifoglio driver from the Netherlands

Ha Mathijs, heb je 'm nog altijd?

I watch all of your videos I'm a big BMW fan and owner but I need an SUV and this is the one thank you so much!!

i don't watch Joe because i think he's the best, i watch Joe for entertaining videos like this with a proper all round review of a car. He spends some time with it and then reviews it, not 2 hours in and has figured it all out. As much as some people CBA to watch a video when its half hour long, it goes quicker than it feels. Most other car videos of 10 minutes long feel longer and have padded content to make it that long, you don;t get that here. What you do get is passion, feedback and a real sense of what it is really like. Keep up the good work, Joe.

Great review of a great car. I own a Stelvio Quad with the sunroof, Sparco seats, Ceramic brakes. I can relate to every feeling and comment Joe makes. Truly "la meccanica delle emozioni"! Thank for the review!

Such a clean and good review. Actually really appreciated the information you mentioned about the car - learnt quite something! Also glad to hear they got the seating position right in the SUV as well - it was spot on in the Giulia! Really appreciate the shoutout at the end mate! ps: you really picked up the fantastic sound of the V6!

Brilliant review. No music, straight to the point and your enthusiasm for this car is genuine. Picking up a 19’ Nring edition up next week and driving it back to Texas with my son. Despite what some people have said about reliability, I’ve heard they’re quite solid and watching your review gives me confidence it will be a great experience.

Brilliant review Joe, thanks, the best Giulia/Stelvio QV review out there. And it is also the only review I have seen where I feel that I get a good sense of what it actually sounds like.

great review, best driving jeep on the road in 2021 by a long way

Great review 👍

Enjoyed your passionate review and the family part at the end added some real life reality to it too. Personally, for such long video I'd prefer more research and hear more discussion on details like the engine and body engineering (that's a lot of carbon and aluminum design brilliance barely mentioned), transmission (why Alfa choose it over other options?), tire choice (I hear not that good in wet) and also infotainment system (pro's, con's comparisons)? Driving fast and saying 'brilliant' a lot is good for a few chosen scenes but not for 30mins. I can't knock your appeal as a reviewer and the passion you deliver though, as that's what made me watch all the way through this. With your charm and a splash of Clarkson humour I'd be hooked!

Brilliant noise exhaust! Brilliant exterior and interior! Brilliant Alfa!

@6:20 😍 that's why! That's why I want this vehicle... How well it corners! And other reasons of coarse but damn.. It took that corner with confidence!

@jonasbaine3538

7 ай бұрын

Seems to be equal price on used market with more performance than m40i but obvious concerns of will it be reliable. 355hp vs 500hp is undeniably good deal.

Joe, how about the Audi RS QS3/5?

The M40i review you did was not the same though. It was a freinds car and you didnt push anywhere near as much as the Alfa and you had it for like half a day and drove around City streets and tight Countryside. Get a X3 M40i from BMW for a week then compare the Stelvio against it. I personally looked at the difference and here in Australia the BMW won hands down. The difference in price was just way beyond being worth it and the BMW for me had around the same performance but better electronics and so much better value. I love the carbon options on the Stelvio and if you Compare this car against the X3 M which has the carbon and maybe similar pricing then the X3 M im certain will be miles in front.

I’m so pleased for a positive review from you as BMW petrolhead so I had to place order for one because Alfa has been always my heart felling against BMW 👍

Cheers Phil! Good question... The fact you can lay down all Italian 500bhp all of the time makes this car very very fast in the real world, on a nice summers day on a smooth fresh bit of tarmac the M3 would be the quicker and sharper tool though. Definitely worth a test drive, but make sure you can spank it somewhere in Race mode ;-)

Joe, what's your thoughts on why you don't see the performance model Alfa's on UK roads. It seems the ingredients are there but the majority of people will still go to a BMW M model , Merc AMG or Audi's S line cars. Are the Alfa's not as polished overall ? Dealer network ? I'm surprised we don't see more of them considering how jaw dropping they are to look at.

Good question Razza, I think S Khalid has answered some of the reason, but also as you say, the overall package might not be up to the German standard, but the character and driving dynamics are better than the Germans... Also the dealer network isn't as good, but I would genuinely look at buying one of these if i needed a mid size SUV.

Great Video as always Mr Achilles but my biggest gripe with this car is the price. I think for what they are trying sell it at can't compete on interior design against the other in the same market. I think they've spent so much time on the outside and engine, etc and just given up on the interior.

So, you like it then? Wasn't quite clear from your review.😁

Is this Stelio Quadrifolio reliable ????

amazing review👌👌 but i think paddle shifts are likely to annoy me because i'd like to downshift whilst cornering at certain times.. plus i think reaching for the indicator is lengthy & might take some time getting used to. I still think the Italians stripped the M3 & X3 M40i to come up with the range topping Giulia & Stelvio, as seemingly a close match. I'm highly anticipating upcoming X3m!
