2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 4dr Sedan (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

I have only had my Quadrifoglio for about a week....but you know as soon as you get in, that you are driving something special. I have a relatively well-optioned car including the carbon ceramic brakes, MSRP about $87k. This car gets a LOT of thumbs up...get used to it! You can dial the personality you want this car to have...in Dynamic mode (haven't tried "race" mode yet, want to break in the car properly!) it feels really tight...in "natural" mode, a comfortable daily driver....but you always have the feeling this car wants to run fast. Unlike some reviews online, i found the interior to be of very high quality...the dashboard looks like it came from a Ferrari. I am considering a set of Michelin Pilot Sport high performance all season tires, as I can already tell the Pirelli PZero Corsa tires will not last more than about 7,500 miles on the high end! I have the standard seats, but if you purchase a car with the optional carbon fiber seats, definitely try them before you buy....the basic seats have plenty of bolstering and more power adjustments. Not that it matters...but so far, in relatively gentle driving (again...trying to break it in for the first 500 miles or so)...average MPG is about 19 according to the on-board computer. I have the Rosso Competizione exterior color...it looks fabulous...but i did notice that most dealers first Quadrifoglios were Vulcano black. Although the black looks nice, IMO it doesn't do the car justice, as the carbon fiber bits kind of get "lost" in a sea of black....Overall impression...it's even better than I expected!!!!

Sexy, Sporty, and Moments of WTF

Update below original review: I moved into the Alfa Romeo from a Ford Taurus SHO, looking for a car comfortable both on the commute, and on the track with minimal adjustments. The Alfa turns my commute into a day at the track with the precision handling, incredible tire-chirping acceleration, which is especially aggressive when passing. The cost was comparable to the SHO--I ended up at around $35k once all the incentives were included (No trade in.) The fit and finish of this car is amazing. Tight, quiet, luxurious to the touch. Get the glass roof. Without, it seems somewhat looser, more warehouse-y. The trunk room is pure Alfa Romeo "What do you need luggage for?" And things like cup holders are designed for afternoon tea, not a days' worth of coffee in a Yeti. Bigger containers make adjusting some of the controls a little cumbersome. No more so that Alfa has done to themselves. Very frustrating controls for things like the fan motor. It has a rotary control, but it's brain is attached to the dash display, so rotating the fan one turn only "wakes the display" but doesn't do anything for the fan speed. Not the biggest deal, but you wonder why the two different systems to control one item. And when you're in reverse, nothing else can be controlled...radio, temp, etc because the reverse view camera is occupying the display. Like I said, cumbersome. But that's my only complaint. My dealer is awesome--they understand a certain level of service is expected here with Alfa--unlike my ford guys. There is a slight steering wheel rubbing that they are having a time trying to figure out--so until then it's just more volume on the radio (unless I'm backing up!) Update: I am no longer the owner. The little things became big things. Just wasn't the car for me, I guess. The steering wheel rub never got worked out--and only got more pronounced. I had to have the front facia replaced after hitting a rather aggressive pothole, and that experience was awful--from my dealer not being able to even order the piece from the manufacturer for 4 weeks, to it being installed incorrectly, and painted the wrong color. The whole car glistened with the slightest pearl finish in the white from the factory, but the replacement facia was like white-out correction fluid. Then the repaint had drips between the pieces--by this time (A year) the squeaks and rattles that Alfa owners warned me about began to appear. The fan never seemed like it was connected to the vents. Highest blower setting netted almost no air into the cabin. rear passengers told me of the extreme heat coming through the back seat into the cabin, and were frankly soaked with sweat after a road trip. My Hood latches would intermittently unlatch, a problem they could never quite fix, so for a time, I had white race tape across the hood--not the look I was going for. The shop pulled my hood release handle so hard it came off in their hands, and that was never the same. I'm back to a SHO, where the power is more, and handling is less. But I'll just become a better driver.

I've owned many different luxury sedans, including Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lancia. The quality of the Alfa Giulia is outstanding, especially in the higher trims with Luxury and Sport packages like mine. Handling is superb, driving pleasure is the best you can expect and everything is well made outside and inside. Alfa has come back stronger then ever and the numerous international awards are confirming it. Many talk about the reliability issue but statistics prove that Alfa does not have more problems then the competitors. I had zero issues so far. 12/05/2010 Update: after 3 years of ownership, not single issue. I replaced rhe 2017 with a 2019 one year ago and it's still the same amazing experience. Well beyond expectations.

Amazing power for a 4 cyl........transmission is the best I have ever driven. In dynamic mode,using paddle shift,this car is so much fun to drive.Steering/braking performance is first class. Get "thumbs up"from other drivers every time I go out. Had the car for a month,with zero problems. Was impressed that Alfa Romeo USA called to thank me for my purchase,and gave me phone #to call if I had any issues in the future.

Alfa Quad is almost practical

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quad offers extraordinary performance and yet can be reasonably driven as a freeway cruiser. The seats are comfortable. The controls intuitive and the fit and finish at a high standard. There's something wonderful about being in a four door sedan powered by a Ferrari-derived engine that handles like a race car. I've only 500 miles on the odometer but so far I've had no issues of any kind. And I forgot to mention that the car is drop dead gorgeous.
