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…..

Greetings all! I am seriously considering this car. What are your thoughts

 
 By: edtonkin : July 5th, 2023-19:48
about it please? The color is amazing! Thank you. ...  

Always lease Range Rovers...

 
 By: mdg : July 5th, 2023-20:04
...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...

Do you drive low mileage?

 
 By: patrick_y : July 6th, 2023-08:10
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

 
 By: edtonkin : July 5th, 2023-20:46
as we were a long time dealer for them. They get in your bloods; problems and all . . .

I completely understand that …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 5th, 2023-21:41
I’ve owned a few over the years and still have one.

love that...

Firstly, that is the best color, I love it!

 
 By: MichaelC : July 5th, 2023-20:35
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 Cadd... 

Gorgeous ride! I would think of it like having a really hot girlfriend.

 
 By: BigAppleBill : July 5th, 2023-20:43
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

 
 By: Weems@8 : July 5th, 2023-20:51
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 !!!!

 
 By: bimbeano : July 5th, 2023-21:02
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 !!!!

 
 By: bimbeano : July 5th, 2023-22:22
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.

:)

Do it! It looks awesome!

 
 By: gregcarraram3 : July 5th, 2023-21:21

me and my wife loved our test drives in it.

 
 By: Dchang81 : July 5th, 2023-21:57
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... 

Would not be my daily driver. For fun

 
 By: edtonkin : July 5th, 2023-22:13
outings only or when need some sedan time.

Life is short, I’d pick one up

 
 By: compa : July 5th, 2023-23:30
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!!

Or wait a bit???

she is amazing

 
 By: Gelato Monster : July 6th, 2023-02:57
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... 

yes

 
 By: Gelato Monster : July 6th, 2023-10:46

Can't wait!

 
 By: amanico : July 6th, 2023-21:38

Wow!!!

 
 By: amanico : July 6th, 2023-16:53

6C going to be insanely beautiful. Yes, alfa still knows how to make beautiful cars :).

 
 By: @lberti : July 6th, 2023-08:52
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

 
 By: Gelato Monster : July 6th, 2023-10:45
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"

 
 By: @lberti : July 6th, 2023-11:25
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

 
 By: Gelato Monster : July 6th, 2023-11:50
it will be sinful but there is blood between alfa and mercedes engine. LOL

I've heard Alfas are getting more reliable

 
 By: JohnFM : July 6th, 2023-04:51
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? ;-)

just a thought

I would buy if the price is "fair"..... "fair" in comparison to what other brands are offering for similar cars

 
 By: @lberti : July 6th, 2023-08:48
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... 

Bellissimo

 
 By: Small Wristed One : July 6th, 2023-08:50
The color is a tribute to the vintage “ochre” of 60s Alfas, beautiful!

Alfa Romeo's been talking about how they've improved reliability.

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : July 6th, 2023-10:05
Encouraging, but maybe lease?

I like that one very much. The only thing worrying me personally ...

 
 By: Marcus Hanke : July 6th, 2023-11:01
... 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...

 
 By: penfriend : July 6th, 2023-11:44
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!

 
 By: MichaelC : July 6th, 2023-12:40
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.

You have 2x4C?

 
 By: @lberti : July 6th, 2023-14:36

Is that an 8C? ;-)

 
 By: JohnFM : July 6th, 2023-16:33

Yep😁

 
 By: @lberti : July 6th, 2023-20:15

I think what they will show is something

 
 By: edtonkin : July 6th, 2023-17:33
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

 
 By: penfriend : July 6th, 2023-19:18
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!

In total agreement!

 
 By: amanico : July 6th, 2023-21:28

Go for it👍👍

 
 By: aperna : July 6th, 2023-18:48

Funky colour!

 
 By: vincentdae : July 7th, 2023-09:23
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

 
 By: cmmnsens : July 7th, 2023-10:29
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 😉 ...  

Great Car!!
