Totally connecting driver and road

This car directly connects me to the road through perfectly balanced handling, excellent power, great brakes. The seats and dash are great art and fit the "driver's car" aesthetic. Love the car. Every BMW, Audi, Mercedes that I drove bored me to death.

This isn’t an appliance like a Toyota or a Honda. It’s not a sterile BMW or Mercedes, that contain as much passion as a rock. This is a REAL CAR for people that enjoy driving. This isn’t transportation it’s an experience. After more than six months and 8500 miles the car has been flawless and continues to amaze me. It just went in for its first service which is complimentary. Oil change, software updates, etc. everything was great. Dealer was sharp and professional in the service department in Bedford.

Most enjoyable to drive

My first Alfa. Coming from a string of Germans and one boring Asian luxury experience. This is likely the smallest sedan I've owned, yet seems to be sufficiently roomy as a daily driver. The drive is what this car is about. It is so light, responsive, and eager to turn, that I find gravitating toward it much more often rather then 3 other vehicles we have access to. Exterior is ok. Distinctive, without flashy. Interior (mine is red) is stunning even in base model. Base seats are average - should've gone for bolstered versions. Putting mildly eccentric controls aside, including the nagging driver seat which insists on sliding back when car is shut off, the DRIVE is what this thing is all about. I compared RWD to AWD and opted for RWD. It feels significantly lighter and more responsive. Speaking of responsive, the base 4-cyclinder is hugely responsive, especially when engaging 'Dynamic' mode via control knob. The car feels quick for sure and I dare say, border line FAST. Emphasis on the feel, not actual numbers (whatever they are). After wondering about looking for a fun to drive vehicle, this appears to be a perfect choice after the first few weeks.

Unbelievable Car

I have seen the previous two reviews and find them a little hard to believe especially the brake issue. Believe me if Alfa or anyone else thought the car had a brake failure and run the risk of a fatality gimme a “brake”. My guess is there are a lot of folks that either this is their first car or really need to buy a Toyota. I have had my QV for 17 months and not one problem other than a flat tire. It is the most fun car and I don’t see myself coming and going on the road as every other car. For a new model year I was very sensitive and concerned. NOT ANYMORE. The car is great. Alfa Customer Care follows up on every appointment and if the problem is not resolved they escalate for you. I am having a very hard time believing that there is not an issue like the previous poster described. I read it twice and knowing the car and the rules these stories are a bit far fetched at least the one where they are so afraid to drive the car because the brakes failed and the dealership said there was not a problem with the brakes. I guess they need to apply pressure to the brake peddle. For the car going into neutral on its own I would say the shifter is tricky for the newbie. Might want to make sure you don’t reach over and move it when driving. Neutral at 70 plus a mile speed is not dangerous anyway. Getting a flat at 70 is.

Had to buy it

The Alfa Giulia is a fun car to drive. Has plenty of pickup. Using the paddle shifters is a blast. Car holds the road well and the cabin is comfortable. However, I do wish I had purchased the sport seats. Had the car for about 10 days and went on a road trip of 600 miles. Gas mileage was as advertised at 30-31 mpg. Ran it up to 110mph and it had a great deal more to give. The steering takes a little getting use to as it is so responsive. Have had numerous compliments.
