Afa Giulia QV
 

Hi gents,

I have decided to put my 86 for sale to get giulia QV. I know Alfas and I couldn't be happier that after decades they have finaly made Giulia QV. 4 door rwd sedan with 500hp, low weight and is not audi, bmw, mb.
Does anybody here have this car?

Allthough 86 is a hard car to replace for me but the versatility of giulia that makes it a perfect race/family car was the tip of the scale.

I am writing this because I couldn't find any debate about giulia QV on this forum. I think the car is just perfect.

Cheers

If you dont mind lengthy warranty repairs there is no better car than an Alfa Romeo. I bought a 1977 Alfetta GTV as my first car 16 years ago. The Alfa love is real.

Beautiful car, but...

Not particularly lightweight either at 3830 lb.!

Alfa entirely left the North American market a couple decades ago.
Within the last 5 years a few dealers have opened back up, but they are few and far between.

Better current Alfa European info and discussion with owners may be over on

I did not realize it is that heavy, yeah that car at that weight cannot claim "light weight"

I did a brief test drive in one. It's a nice looking car inside and out. Definite reliability issues. A bit small inside. If I had a dealer close by, and if I needed a gas only car, sure.
I'd take a Model 3 Performance over it, though.

Have 2 friends who owns em. Giulia is hands down beautiful car and performance is amazing even w that weight they carry. But... but... sadly, they have so much bugs/issues. Both friend's Giulia have been going back and forth at the dealership since owning it. I think, one of em have been in dealership for over a month!

If you're okay with Giulia goes to dealership to get things fix for few weeks and have spare car to drive around, then might be worth it. I wouldn't recommend buying it as main car.

I had one and loved it! I traded in my 2013 FRS towards it. I had it for about 1 year and only managed to put 7,000 miles on it. I knew what I was getting into but the unplanned services sucked; big time. It pretty much broke down every 1,000 miles. I bought it new, it was a 2018. I traded it in for a 2020 Supra.

Here's a few pics.

I am bot concerned abou alfas "reliability". I have owned a couple with no problems and also dealers and italy itself is fairly close to me so I have a good backup in case of failures. As for light weight I was refering to its class. Would love a supra though but sadly no back seats.

My Alfa 4C has been reliable, but certain parts take a while to source, whereas others I actually get from my local Mopar dealer vs. the markup at an AR dealer.

Alfa love is real -- But I've driven a lot of special / exotics cars and nothing is like the 4C.

That being said, my '17 BRZ has never stranded me and never had an issue.

I'm also considering the jump now. Here in the UK they offer 5 years warranty if bought after June 18 so that is a must. The thread on Pistonheads seems to suggest bar the early ones and some odd software quirks that can be resolve by resetting the car, they are actually pretty solid cars.

I really enjoyed the test drive, they are far less common that the alternatives (M3 Competition Pack / C63) and much better looking.
