    I have a 2017 Giulia.....one of the first Ti models to hit the States. I'm now at 35,000 miles and no issues whatsoever. Just a great, reliable fun car that doesn't look or feel like anything else. Worth the risk? Hell yes!

Super quiet when u want, goes like a beast when u want. Aluminium paddle shifters are the best and agree .. downshift blips sound great. Turn in is super quick. Road manners incredible. Quality of ride is superb. They really nailed this one.

But the transmission is starting to go and is not worth fixing (it's a Mercedes transmission, 2008 was the one year the Chargers were made with half German parts). Fell in love with the Giulia the second I laid eyes on it at the NY Auto Show.

I'm a car lover at heart, and you give so much detail when you do what you do, and car guys (and gals) really do love cars that we sometimes could neither afford, nor actually really want for ourselves. Now this Giulia, its a car I could figure out how to afford, and would likely want if I weren't such a "Mustang Man". I love the wheels on this Alfa, reminds me (forgive me for comparing this to a Ford) of the snowflakes on the Focus and Fiesta ST. although these wheels are much nicer of course. Nice job man!

    Ross Morgan mine had no sealant on the chassis and leaked. The clutch went at 40k. The exhaust at 50k, and they’re worth 5p after a few years. Yes I loved it, but I never bought another. Every service cost a fortune in bits that were falling off and the dealers are crap. I still loved it, but sadly this, their best car in ages looks like a German and is already beginning to lag behind the constant updates other manufacturers put out.

    I just helped my dad pick out a new car and he ended up with a Giulia Lusso with a pretty similar color combo to this, Vesuvio grey with the red leather interior. Really cool thing about Lusso is that the dash you weren't so sure about is covered by stitched leather, something that blows me away because that kind of thing is a crazy expensive option on 75k+ M3s and Porsches. He got an insane deal on a leftover new '18 as well, around 35k for a car with a sticker price of almost 50k. I really dig it myself, I love my Fiesta ST but man, I'm seeing 300/mo lease deals on Giulias and it's hard to resist getting one of my own as well.

    I'm 76 yr old. I love my 2017 Giulia Base in Rosso Red (OMG, it is gorgeous). The very best sports sedan I have ever driven, period. Amazing gas mileage when driven like an old lady (1900 rpm's at 72mph) and 8 speed very sofisticated transmission with paddle shifters, 149 mph. Goes like a bat out of hell in Dynamic trans mode, or manual mode with the AWD (don't settle for 2WD). AWD is amazing in snow with regular tires and 0.6 seconds faster to 60mph than 2WD. Performance, suspension, handling, cornering is more like a sport car than a sedan. Take it for a test drive (a must). I use any excuse to take it for a spin. My wife loves that I am so happy. She tells friends she is my #2 girlfriend and my #1 GF is an Italian chic. Alfa Romeo Giulia, pure class!

    To me the biggest risk is whether the brand will stick around in North America or not. The relaunch of the brand here has not been a runaway success. The dealer network is spotty and unlikely to get better. Some are paired with Maserati and others are paired with Chrysler/jeep dealers. Definitely something to lease rather than buy. I enjoyed my Giulia while I had it. It was also super reliable. Excellent driver's car. The interior let it down. Went back to BMW when my lease ended. Will consider Alfa in the future though assuming they stick around.
