What about that 66plate 420d you showed briefly?

The fact that you compare the back door handles with a Nissan Juke...the audacity! Alfa Romeo did it in 1997 with the 156, no Juke no nothing! Mamma mia!!

I have had a Giulietta 1750 QV for 4 years and absolutely love it - So underrated as a sporty hatch. This is the same car only facelifted and given the name Veloce instead of QV; Cloverleaf before that. The heated bucket seats are the standard seats on all QV/Facelift Veloce models 👌. Same engine as in the 4c too. Keep up the great content! 🇮🇹

These cars are sooo underrated, despite maybe slightly outdated interior, they are amazing cars, especially the older ones with the manuals, and those seats are standard on the veloce models

These have the engine and gearbox from the Alfa 4C, so underrated as a hot hatch

Prefiill on the brakes means that when you release the accelerator in a fast move to get to the brakes pedal you'll find the hydraulics system already under pressure, it'll grab the discs faster.

To say its not your type of car it certainly put a smile on yer face

It's not crazy money compared to the equivalent VW GTi which it totally smokes

I've had both this and a VW golf GTi. The Alfa smokes the golf for acceleration and handling. But the Alfa falls down on the interior and MultiMedia. They were both as reliable as one another. The Alfa was cheaper to buy in the first place

Calvin loving that boost life the excitement this man has about cars in his voice is a pleasure to listen to 👏

Always had a soft spot for these, great little review Calvin. 🙌🏼

When your in the veloce club, its a special feeling :)

I had one of these for 2 years albeit the Quadrifoglio Verde with the TCT. Got mine to 370 bhp and it was a rocket. Pulled off the end of the dial. Really under rated cars but have the ability to empty your wallet when things go wrong (clutches especially at over £1k). Unfortunately had to sell up as couldn’t afford to run it and a house. Definitely want another one day.

I just bought one 15 plate Mines a clover leaf so very similar spec The gearbox is amazing in dynamic mode using the paddle shift Absolutely love mine and it’s red and sticks out from all the others I’ve had lots of Alfa over the years

Had mine for a year now and absolutely love it

Loving that Calvin seems to be the only KZreadr NOT always pushing 1000+ bhp content 🙌🏼

would love to see calvin do a review on a vw golf tcr , not many of them about i belive but would be nice to see how that stacks up between a gti and a golf r ! love all these quirky cars youve been doing recently! content is amazing calvin keep up the hard work👍🏻 thanks for good content to keep us all going through our days!

Always watch these videos whilst taking a poo. Takes me 15mins these days

Fun time’s reviewing these cars, Calvin. Coool car 😎giving the Italians some love. Great video..:) 🤟🤟🥂

I opted for the diesel variant (Sportiva) as I do a lot of motorway miles. It only has 170bhp but it pulls really well and is plenty quick enough to put a smile on my face! Love Aflas - had a 147 back in the day and I'll hopefully be getting a Giulia in the not too distant future.

I'm on my second Giulietta QV, latest with tct and 8c block. Lovely cars. 😍

Sometimes just go on calvs videos for the cinematic 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 great video mate

I had the GQV earlier version in manual. Was an ok car no complaints. It was very beautiful inside with full custom leather that’s what I liked most about it.

Nice one Calvin. I’ve got a 2010 Giulietta Cloverleaf 1750 TBI manual and a 2010 Brera 1750 TBI manual the Giulietta is 235 horse in the earlier version of this engine and was only available as manual. The later all alloy version was semi auto only and the same unit found in the 4C. The Brera is 200 BHP and just over a second slower to 60. The Brera has a smaller turbo than the Giulietta. I love both, they’ve both done over 100,000 miles and I adore this engine, which is why I have 2! :)

Very curious your opinion regarding giulietta model years 2016-2020 are all models very similar interior and performance wise? Which one of them would be the best?

I'm fortunate enough to own one of these cars. They're fantastic, don't see hardly any on the road and they're little sleepers. Would definitely recommend one to put a smile on your face 😊

Cool cars, we had one in at work a few weeks back

Never looked at owning an Alfa myself but yeah pretty impressive

Brilliant vid as usual

Proper Alfa is an old skool Alfa like a sud, 33, voloce sprint etc even if they were rust buckets, like clarkson says your not a proper petrol head if you haven’t owned an Alfa. Even Nigel mansell had a 164. Cracking video tho 🚙🚀👍

Always great to see an Alfa on your channel Calv!

Friend of mine has a 2010 Alfa Romeo giulietta 1.4 multi air turbo 170 Bhp. He has had it remapped and had a stage 2 clutch kit and dual mass fly wheel installed now hitting over 200bhp goes like a rocket it is a very quick car is capable of over 150mph

I have just bought an early 2011 cloverleaf in 8C red, with options including xenons's, Pan roof, heated/elec leather seats. They do go well for a little hatch, just doesn't sound as nice as my Audi RS3 I just sold.

Nice looking Veloce that. Shame the newer ones weren’t manual.

the seats are standard in the facelift version that you are in. The other seats you showed were the standerd QV seats for the pre-facelist version. Before the facelift these cars where called QV models after the facelift veloce. Because they thaught it wasnt fast enough anymore to wear that QV badge. As the Giulia and stelvio Q (yeah no V anymore) came out, and only they deserved that full cloverleaf badge (veloce is their mid-tier level). Yeah italians are not that steadfast with their ideas. Anyway it doest not have a mechanical LSD. They did however add an electric, computer controled system that somewhat mimicks how a LSD feels. Other then that it shares the same engine with the 4C and Formula W cars. That just shows what kind of a masterpiece they created, and you can feel and enjoy that everytime you drive it. And a stage 1 tune brings it to a healthy/save 280hp/295ft-lbs for a tct and 310ft-lbs for a manual gearbox

Nice review👍😀

Have one and they are great great cars and ultra reliable also. Great fun and you always look forward to a drive in one

Galvin nice car. Did you sell it to another trader or did you do a deal on another car. As the alfa is on auto trader for £14500.

I am ALFISTA! really nice car, and your review was awesome. But anyway the video with Mende SRCHATA ("the glass" - his nickname) who crashed the Jaguar is still the most viewed video :)

Hi. Im buying a 335d. Not sure what the specs are as its a private sale and owner is elderly and npt sure of everything. Whats the best app that would show the optipns of a vehicle. Thanks everyone

Like finding these different types of cars not the usual stuff

I have a standard Giulietta and have been trying to get hold of these seats for ages they just look too good!

Hadn't watched one of yours for a while, and a bit....disappointed. The concealed rear door handles is an Alfa thing going back to 1998 with the Alfa 156. Everyone else with concealed handles has copied Alfa Romeo who have such an illustrious racing history, you should read it 😂 Enzo Ferrari started at Alfa Romeo 😂

Nice, what about the orange ST Focus you have? you gonna video it?

I have alfa also is very fast and reliable. I like the effort and love the put to make the disign look I really like it. When you put as advance mode alfa fly as you would not imagine...

Cool video. Glad you like the Giulietta. I have a stage 2 turbo, big intercooler straight through exhaust and a remap on mine. It is around 350bhp and is truly mental fun!

I only have the 2litre diesel but even that is fun to drive! Sadly can't realistically insure anything quicker at 22...

Lovely car! Love Alfas

as a person who lives in a country with alot of sun ( australia ) the silver V shape on the steering wheel is just horrible when the sun hits it, it reflects back into your eyes and is very hard to avoid, the gear paddles moving with the wheel when turning are horrible, imagine if you had a true manual and the shifter just randomly moved about the center console area, no rear camera on a car of this level from 2017 is just unexpected, especially with fairly low visibility, the seats really are not made for anyone about 6foot/180cm or taller, these are mostly all nit picky things, but whenever i drive mine its the things that get me annoyed slightly

Have a Giulietta QV. Doesn't do a whole lot for me. Maybe i just don't get it. It's quick, but doesn't seem to have the Alfa character. It just feels like any other hot hatch.
