The smile on your face says it all... This can only be an Alfa Romeo.

Thanks Ron, you are right on with this message. I bought my 2018 Giulia Base at the tail end of the model year, Its a Monza red Q4 with cold weather package, the 8.8 in screen, 18 in. wheels and as you say, the exact same engine and suspension as all the higher end models. The only thing I'm missing of any real substance vs. the TI or Sport is the paddle shifters which for me was not a huge deal. With some special year end incentives mine came in at less than $36k. What a deal! I love this car. It's docile around the city for running to the grocery store but for spirited driving out on the back roads it's beyond just a joy to drive. it's a piece or art and an engineering tour de force. For what it's worth, operformance BMWs and Audi;s are pretty common. I hardly ever see another Alfa and frankly, many people swoon over my car and effuse over its beauty complementing my 'taste in cars.' Not that I'm looking for complements but still...I like being a contrarian My biggest hesitation when I made the purchase relates to the horror stories on reliability. As far as I'm concerned these are way overblown. So far at 12k miles this car has been faultless.

I have a 2019 Guilia RWD w/ 30k on it. 0 electrical issues, 0 issues overall. Hands down the best car I have ever owned. Enough horsepower to have fun, not too much that I will wrap it around a tree!

We bought a 2019 Ti Sport White w/Red interior loaded with options for 38k and wouldn't trade it for anything ! Best car we've owned yet highly recommended !!
