Welcome back! Today Marcus takes control of the infamous Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio super sedan to find out why it didn't take down the infamous M3 in the way some hoped it would have. Is it a twin turbo V6 Ferrari masked as an Alfa? Or something we should all soon forget about? Let's find out.

    Great review. In my opinon the Giulia Quadrifofglio has more character than a BMW M3. And for the design Alfa Romeo is much better than any other car brand. The Giulia is probably the best sport sedan on the market, it's more unique than German competitors.

    @@DEVILTAZ35 here in the UK the warranty stats have Alfa ranked the same as the Germans. All have between 83% and 86% of cars without any problems. Alfa rank higher than Audi and Mercedes and are 1% behind BMW. The only German car currently high on the list is Porsche. Alfa's unreliable tag has not been relative for a good 10 to 15 years now. It was earnt with poor electronics and rust during the 80s and early 90s. I've had 2 Alfa's and 108000 miles out of the last one (2010 Giulietta Cloverleaf) without a single problem. I am now on the Giulia Veloce so far without a single issue.

    Criminally underrated car. Lapped the Nurburgring 13 seconds quicker than the M4 of the time. Had 500 hp vs the F80 M3's 430hp, in fact BMW JUST matched the Alfa's power with the latest M3. The Beemer can't touch it in the style department though.

    I bought one of these 6 months ago and it’s fantastic. I’m also fortunate enough to have owned many performance cars from AMG to Lotus and everything in between. I currently also own a Porsche track car, and I’ve driven most super cars and performance cars from the past decade or so. It does feel very much like a Ferrari, and it doesn’t feel anything like an M3/M4. The other car it reminds me of is the McLaren 570s. It has the same level of chuckability, grip and playfulness. Even my wife spends most of the time driving in race mode with traction control off. It’s disappointing that you didn’t drive it in race mode (which automatically turns off the traction control and opens up the exhaust valves, and tightens the drivetrain further) as this transforms the car from a fast performance sedan to a slightly less insane Ferrari F12 or 812 (again, I’ve driven both in anger on multiple occasions). I see people who talk about comparing this to the M3 and it’s just so different. Even the M4 GTS doesn’t have the same feeling of playfulness that the Alfa has. To each their own, but to put it simply it’s as good as every review you read on it.

    You must be referring to the Series 1. From Series 2, you don't need to drive it in 'Race' mode to open the exhaust valves. Totally agree that this car doesn't feel like a BMW F80/G80. To begin with, the artificial engine sound in the cabin especially in the G80, is quite tragic. The German may be the fastest now, but always less emotive and less pure. Its similar ZF automatic box is also more ordinary and boring compared to the Giulia. Steering and ride of the Italian is comparable to previous 911 models.

You can also do a stage 1 remap which takes it to 600bhp if you fancy it.

    What makes Giulia so good, is that they developed the Giulia Quadrifoglio first. The chassis, engine, drivetrain - the model they wanted was this. When they got that perfected, then they did the lesser Giulia models (Veloce, the diesels etc). What Germans usually do is they release the non performance models and then make the changes to regular chassis, engine to be performance oriented M cars.

    Great review, but next time put it in race mode and have some fun. I love my 2019 Giulia QV so much, we bought a 2020 Stelivo QV to match it. Its such a fun car and my god is it fast. Mine is almost to 60k miles and no real issues with it at all, to be fair I haven't owned it for all 60k miles so who knows what happened before I got it. Its a dying breed of driver car for sure. I came from a 2018 Dodge Charger Scat Pack (485hp/475ftlb) (4,395) and loved it but the Alfa (503hp/443ftlb) (3,806 lbs) is just in another league. That almost 600lb difference makes the alfa much much faster, 3.8 0-60 vs 4.6 in the charger (in a perfect scenario with a good driver). Mine is Vesuvio Gray which, when clean, has a nice sparkle to it but for all intents and purposes is still a gray car. People still stop and stare at it because its just not something you see all the time... But now the wife's Stelvio gets all the looks because she had it wrapped Chameleon lol!

There are a few weird things to get used to if you're coming from german cars (I might do a video on the specifics) but most of them aren't really negatives, just different. The only thing I think actually lets the car down is the brake by wire system. Even after several months and 3 different types of brake pads, I still don't like how the brake pedal feels. But yeah it is a shame you don't see more of them around, as they deserve just as much of a following as the M3/M4 gets.

    Honestly I prefer this over the g80, but not the f80. I think the qv would've killed sales if it was a dct similar to a 458, aka getrag 7sp. That shit is amazing, and they literally put it in so many hypercars about 5 years to a decade ago. The shifts are violent and satisfying; Way better then the BS they have now, since everyone needs to go as fast as possible and needs a ZF for daily-driving. Would as buy this car if it was NA 6cyl version of the f458 engine, and 10k less. That engine is art.

    You are reviewing a Series 1 hence the very direct steering ratio (now since revised) and its past electronics/battery issues. At 3:21 you are wrong - it's not the Traction Control system that curtails acceleration, but the tuning (like on a Ferrari), which limits torque in the lower gears.

    With owning one of these and a 2018 m3 I will admit the m3 is bulletproof, I get in it everyday and never worry, I never have a doubt I’ll make it somewhere and I throughly enjoy the car. The Giulia Quad on the other hand is hit or miss….ive owned the car nearly 5 months and have yet to have it in my garage more than a week. It’s been sitting at the dealership for issue after issue after issue. Right when I thought they were resolved I figured I’d take it on an easy road trip, it turned into a terrible experience and nearly left me stranded 5 hours from home. Without a doubt the Giulia is the better driving car, the f80 is the more enjoyable car to own though. Both sound great and I actually prefer how the bmw sounds….the Giulia so far has cost me $22,000 since December so really not the best experience, maybe I got a bad one, I’m not sure. But I will confirm every single issue you read about in the automotive journals I have had. At this point I don’t even know if I want to keep the car because I can’t even trust it and my line of work I can’t be late to something due to a car issue. I guess take it for what you want, but this has been my experience. If you have the money spend the money on an F80 and you WILL NOT regret it like I was worried I would. Also the interior on the f80 is head over heels nicer as well as the overall comfort

    Electric vehicles today can just crush these ICE vehicles, especially this car. However, this car has more soul and of course you can drive it all day long without running out of electrons. It is a beautiful car, but at least here in the U.S. a total sales dud. The Corvette is the far better value ( although it is a two seater) and the Bowling Green factory can in no way keep up with the huge sales demand. Parts and service availability will also be far better with the Vette.

The steering is absolutely sublime (super car good), The chassis is perfectly balanced, and it has a character unlike any other 4 door I've driven. This is a truly special vehicle. A 4 door Ferrari.
