Firstly, that is the best color, I love it!
Before I bought my CT5-V Blackwing, I test drove one of those. I was really set on a manual transmission and the glorious supercharged V8. But I really liked the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Much more engaging than a BMW M car. But still nothing close to the Caddy in that department.
In the end, I was not too serious, But even if I were, the checkered reliability and massive depreciation would concern me.
Greetings all! I am seriously considering this car. What are your thoughts
about it please? The color is amazing! Thank you. ...
Always lease Range Rovers...
...and anything Italian : ) That being said, I have a friend who bought an early version of the Giulia and he said it's been very reliable. The only downside I see is no manual transmission option. One upside is never losing the car in a parking lot fille...
Hmmmm… I guess for every rule there’s an exception….
I’ve owned three Range Rovers and two Maseratis and kept every one of them for 7-8 years or longer. All five were incredibly reliable. Now, my Jags, that’s a different story…..
Do you drive low mileage?
Maybe you've been lucky and maybe you drive below average mileage. Average mileage in USA (according to the EPA) is around 15,000 miles a year. I've never heard of anyone saying a Range Rover was reliable. Range Rover Sport platform is generally more reli...
You know what they say …
You’re not a true car enthusiast until you’ve owned an Alfa.
I grew up with Alfas and have owned many
as we were a long time dealer for them. They get in your bloods; problems and all . . .

Gorgeous ride! I would think of it like having a really hot girlfriend.
A lot of fun, but likely very high maintenance costs.
had a 2018 G Quad
the alfa was a great car. just got bored with an auto and went g80 M3 manual.
It is too perfect
I would explain the title. If things are too perfect, i would not love it. The Giulia is over the top great. If the tail lights of a car are stomp or a roof line odd, than i would jump for joy. So i could be very happy in a Nissan GT-R. And i guess i am t...
Buy it !!!!
But please consider a big healthy life insurance as well ;-) This cat is a maniac, a friend of mine had one and even had it tuned to over 600 hp ... which made it even more maniac. After a year or two he decided to sell it for several obvious reasons (lif...
Me !!!!
I don't even want to look at it, let alone drive it ... I'm too young to die But it is one amazing car I must admit, a masterpiece.
me and my wife loved our test drives in it.
part of the reason I want to get a Maserati Grecale Trofeo. I researched the crap out of it, would be nice as a second car, not sure I'd trust it as a daily. there was a section on the Alfa forums dedicated to "I have no problems with my Alfa!" when I was...
Life is short, I’d pick one up
Seems like an incredibly fun car to drive, based on all of the discussion. You mentioned elsewhere it’s not your daily driver, so enjoy!!
she is amazing
the color is even more aristocratic yet also have more racing charm than red. Perhaps you should wait for 6C. I think she will be another 2door goddess like 8c and 4c. But if you want a Sedan, she has no comparison, she is the utmost beautiful sedan today...
6C going to be insanely beautiful. Yes, alfa still knows how to make beautiful cars :).
4C for some people was probably too small and the 8c too heavy Lets hope the 6C gets a crazy engine, similar to the 8c and the weight of 4c!
that would be epic
Personally other than italian bespoke house, only Pagani and Alfa can make insanely beautiful motoring art
Yep. Those two only deserve to be called "beautiful"
What i love about pagani, next to the design, is the engine they use. An undestructable engine by mercedess
I believe Chrysler has shares in both amg-mercedes and alfa-romeo through fiat-chrysler
it will be sinful but there is blood between alfa and mercedes engine. LOL
I've heard Alfas are getting more reliable
Recent rankings are encouraging, but I'd guess they still have a ways to go. Also, doesn't an Alfa Romeo have to be RED ... by law? ;-)
I would buy if the price is "fair"..... "fair" in comparison to what other brands are offering for similar cars
I had a spider (1991) and a 156 with the amazing v6 engine. To be honest, I never had issues with my Alfa's and if quality got better since then, even better. The color you have chosen is fantastic. I probably would have chose " Rosso Competizione Metaliz...
Alfa Romeo's been talking about how they've improved reliability.
Encouraging, but maybe lease?
I like that one very much. The only thing worrying me personally ...
... is the sheer power on the rear wheels only. In our winters, or even on rain-wet roads, this car could be demanding, to say the least. Which is why I considered the Stelvio with the same engine, but all-wheel drive. However, the Stelvio QF was insanely...
Owning currently two 4C after several other AR I am convinced of some of their products...
But the Giulia though has never caught my attention design-wise. Cannot precisely say why but having seen it so often I never got accustomed to especially the front. The BMW M offering looks better imo. Engine with RWD is demanding but I am sure you can h...
Engine with RWD is insanely fun!
I owned a 2022 M4 Comp xDrive before changing to the CT5-V Blackwing. No comparison on driving dynamics, handling, and enjoyment. I would never try AWD again on a sports car/sedan unless I needed to daily the car and use it in inclement weather.
I think what they will show is something
fantastic but not suitable for my needs. I have a Porsche and looking for a sedan.
this wet dream has been in the air for so many years
I wonder if it will come and if yes, if it will live up to the huge expectations.... we don't need another super rare >300k >2 tons monster coupe!
Funky colour!
When you choose an Alfa, it is with the heart: no need to explain anything. Just check it out in green before signing!
Hey Ed
I own a 2018 and LOVE this car. It’s a daily driver and so much more fun than M3s imo (which I’ve owned). Such a visceral experience and not over engineered. And goes well with my CB 😉 ...
