The sweet spot in the Giulia lineup is the Ti Sport. I've had mine for 30K miles and the sport seats, cold aluminum paddles, LSD and adaptive suspension are all magical. It's been very reliable despite being driven in anger and still looks new inside and out. 100 percent buying out my lease. Will be a very good value on the used market.

Add in some luxury packs or conveience packs and it starts to climb. I think you even pay more for colors other than a few basic non-metallic. Not trying to be critical of the brand.

I got the blue G70 and love it. Yes, it felt like a bit of a gamble going with the new kid on the block, especially from a resale value perspective. But I'm confident that issue will dissipate over the next few years as the brand gains awareness, and I see Genesis doing the right things in that regard (e.g., sponsoring fancy golf tournaments). They won me over with head-turning design & performance, a really long warranty and service offer and 0.9% financing. The only other trade-off I'd mention is the dealership experience. Instead of having dedicated showrooms, like most luxury brands, Genesis cars are sold at Hyundai dealerships, at least in my area. Where I bought mine, they set up a Genesis "desk" in the corner of the regular Hyundai showroom. So the Genesis shopping experience felt rather shoestring compared to the white-glove bubbles of its rivals. Here too, I think that things will improve quickly. It seems clear now that the brand has gotten off the ground in the US market, so I expect dealers will quickly invest in separate brick and mortar and the viruous cycle can continue.

'23 Giulia Estrema here. LSD, carbon trim and adaptive suspension in Alfa Rosso. I cross shopped with the M340i, S4 and C43. Still went with the 4 cylinder. I took my car in for regular maintenance yesterday and booked some test drives with neighouring BMW, Lexus and Audi dealers, as my lease will be up next year. Test drove an M440i (no M340i available), Audi S5 and RCF coupe just to see what the V8 was like. The M440i felt very fast, much faster than the Alfa. But I didn't feel like I was really interacting or engaged with the car at the same level. The RCF was just hilarious, big and heavy, but the V8 sounded amazing. The Audi had the best interior, and was also fast but driving was meh. So in the end I drove a few hours back home, on a beautiful country road and am still very happy with my choice. The Alfa mechanic said it best, "It's like that perfect pair of jeans that just fits right."

Great review! I purchased a G70 last June and I absolutely love it, I can’t wait to get it in every time. For the price, reliability, feel and looks...it’s awesome!

Have a Giulia Ti Sport (paddles, 8-way adjustable sports seats, wider staggered rear tires, 19 inch Quad-style wheels). The steering and ride/handling is so so good and it’s fast. You don’t need the LSD or adjustable suspension. And its been totally reliable.

I got a Giulia Sprint 2021MY. it is supposed to be the "base", but with a couple of nice options is absolutely a blast. I traded my Stinger GT2 for the Giulia !! Stinger 365hp was unable to do what this 280hp Giulia can do. Although it was AWD and had all the electronic, I never felt "safe" driving close to the limit. Stinger platform is not Alfa Romeo Giorgio. Genesis is the same story. Yes, I do not have shift pads BUT I feel a great retro feeling when I manually shift with the shift "stick". I drove sticks all my life, so for me moving my hand to the stick to operate comes normal. Pads are beautiful, are not game changers. IMPORTANT: the gearbox in the Giulia is a TRUE manual - you shift and you hit the limiter. Can't talk for the BMW, but the gearbox in the Genesis is like the Stinger, it will upshift or downshift for you or negate you to do so, it's a "fake" manual mode. Bottom line? once you drive a Giulia, you will never go back... and.. then you will trade your Giulia in the future for a used .... QUADRIFOGLIO :)

I just bought my fully loaded 2018 Q4 ti with 20k miles for under 27, this car is an absolute blast and a head-turner. I get stopped all the time by car guys appreciating the brand. The biggest lack from a sports car is the sound, but with the aftermarket, you can really bring it alive. If you want a bit more there's always Chip tuning too. One other perk to is being so few out there you feel like you have something really special where you can go weeks at a time without seeing another.

Took it around the city and for long drives and quite enjoyed it. Ended up ordering another Giulia Veloce for myself, the purpose being a daily I’d enjoy driving, ticked all the boxes when ordering. Barely touched my BMW M2C for weeks on end since having the Alfa, and then only to make sure the BMW wouldn’t rust sitting there. Sold M2C and kept the Alfa for being an excellent daily. Love it. No, it’s not as fast. But fast enough. Yes, the service is sketchy. Yes, extras and parts may be a PIA to get. Still beats those 2 BMWs as a daily in enjoyment department. Basically, sold 2 very driver-focused BMWs, very good ones in their own right, and got 2 Alfas because I liked them more.

Interesting. I replaced a M235i with a Giulia as well. No regrets.

in 2017 I got a Giulia because the F30 3-series was so terrible. In 2019 I went back to BMW. I really liked driving the Giulia but the interior/tech really let it down. In particular the base seats have no support or bolstering. When my 330i lease is up in 2022 I may go back to the Giulia but make sure to get the sport seats. They have also improved the tech substantially.

You guys nailed it, I started last year looking at ND2 Miatas, but due to the WFH situation, it made little sense to keep 2 cars when only 1 was getting driven. So we downsized from an Alltrack and an Impreza to a Giulia Ti in red with the yellow calipers. I will get a Miata in a few years, but this just works for us now. Plus we can take road trips in extreme comfort. Hard to beat for $25k with 20k miles.

@@chigasaki06 my best friend got the veloce (ti sport in US). Spend my self driving the thing and it's a bliss. Pros: Best steering in a front mounted engine. Very fun to drive. Reliable. Great value for money. Stunning design. One of the safest things to drive in high wind. Cons: Breaks are weird. Even if you master their feel its still not great. Good for emergency stop tho. Fuel tank is weird. Takes forever to get to the half but then it's a race to the bottom pretty quickly. Scarry if you're in the middle of nowhere. No dipstic and the sensor can be unreliable. This engine burns oil. Not much but you have to top it up here and there. Engine is thirsty. May not be an issue in USA but here in Europe prices are mental. I drive audi and like a true German is very sensible, yet boring. In process to talk the missus into changing the vehicle.

Have a 19 Guilia TI sport and it is incredible on a twisty road. Scared my wife to death several times and the car just begged for more. Not darty just smooth and in control. Absolutely amazing!

Beautiful car, glad you enjoy it. Thanks for watching!

Love to see your take on the Elantra N line. I just bought one here in Australia and our specs are quite different to yours in the US. The criticisms of this car in the US that I have seen, are answered in the Australian spec.

If they brought the Giulia Ti Sport with the upgraded seats, paddle shifters, Q2 pack it would be #1 for both. Sucks they got a base press car instead. The only thing the BMW does better than the Alfa based on my test drives was it had better tech inside and it seemed to me for my driving position that it had better backseat room. I ended up getting the Alfa for most of the reasons they laid out. The driving experience is just better and you can tell immediately.

This is a channel you only think about when it's randomly recommended to you. Then instantly forget.

Great review

If they had the Alfa TI sport the outcome would be much different. The sight of the Genesis seats makes me dizzy. ""Sitting in an Alfa Romeo feels like you're sitting in bar in Milano." - James May

My folks had a 2012 F series 328i that they drove up until last year when they traded it on a 2019 330i. Having driven the 2012 quite a bit I was amazed at how much better the new G series car is. It's quick, extremely quiet, very comfortable, well built and efficient in most circumstances. Talk about a generational leap!

I rented a bmw 330i last weekend and it changed my mind about getting one, the bounce mentioned around 11:30 and the way the car feels like it's in control and doesnt need you is super accurate. It does what it's supposed to but it doesn't feel like you're in control. The bounce when you accelerate is not smooth and makes the drive not very enjoyable. I rented a Q50 not long ago too and had it for a few days, I'd even prefer that over a BMW from these two experiences. Only thing is infiniti's feel a little behind tech wise.

I own a Genesis G70 2020 3.3 twin turbo. I love it. For the $ you will have a hard time beating the value. It’s fully loaded. The 2 things that would take this car over the top would be upping the HP to more like 450. Then the exhaust note need more of a burble and could use dynamic baffles so you could open and close them when you want. Thanks!

​@@mapletree4283 It's as if instead of actually understanding what I previously typed you choose instead t have taken things personally and that has clouded your judgment. Also you know next to nothing about the modern automotive industry. Oh and I have driven stinger's and the G80 and 2019 G70. The real question is have you driven a proper modern sport's saloon(trick question because very few that a true saloon exist today and instead we get G70's, Pseudo BMW's that have strayed so far away from their original mission statement, etc..). See I ask this because based on your comments it's rather evident you lack experience. Besides you don't even want a true Saloon. You want Luxury with above average sport(nothing wrong with that). The problem here is you and I belong to two different demographic's. I own the 85K Quadrifoglio and Kia has nothing that can even remotely touch such an advanced platform and yet you call ALFA lazy. In fact the Giorgio platform is considered by many enthusiast's and journalists in the industry to be one of the best platform's ever made in the past 10 years under 100K. The Giulia TI is a severely cut down version of the Quadrifoglio in order to make it affordable and does not represent it's true capabilities and even then it's still the absolute best in class for driving dynamics and even KIA's most advanced platform that isn't even a year old still falls short of FIAT's 6 year platform. You understand FIAT since the 60's has owned and operated Ferrari. That this Platform and Car was designed by Ferrari's top engineers. The Giorgio Platform cost a Whooping $4 billion to develop and they did all this in 2.5 years. Platform as advanced as this usually take 4-5 years such as BMW, Audi and Merc. That is a monumental achievement but then again it did cost $4 billion and they had take away for 2 years some of the most talented engineers at Ferrari for this. Yet you claim FIAT lags behind KIA who can't even touch a 6 year old platform. Even BMW publicly congratulated ALFA for there Gorgio platform and said they will easily get 10 years before even considering designing a new one. That was how impressed BMW was when the Giulia was unveiled. We won't even get into engines since we all know KIA is outclassed easily. You call Alfa lazy and yet they have one of the best V6 biTurbo engines ever made. It outclasses AMG's engine(was even 5 years ahead) and it better since it's a Ferrari 154 derived engine(meaning the base foundation so it's design was built on the 154 architecture) with an additional $200,000,000 in development to further refine the engine for it's design goal. Oh and why is it that large majority of Stinger owners have debadge their vehicle. They're ashamed of the brand name. Now this may be shocking to you but I love KIA/Hyundai as a brand. I just take issue when you think that they are ahead when it comes to building a proper sport's saloon. The German's and Italians dominate that segment and if FIAT didn't have ownership/Control(public now) than the Italians wouldn't have a top tier sports saloon. If my budget was $50k tops I would go with KIA over all the German brands and ALFA. The TI is a great vehicle but it's not the original design and intention of what the engineers built which is the Quadrifoglio. The KIA IMHO is the better buy for the average consumer since they favor interior comfort and modern gadget over performance. However when one has more money to play with KIA is no longer an option for me
