Purchased a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia in May 2017. After the initial and random dashboard warnings which would either resolve themselves or a dealer visit for updates, the vehicle started moving to Neutral while in Drive around December 2017. After that it has happened numerous times once on highway at 70+MPH and multiple times while making left or right turns. I have to instantly move the car to drive mode to avoid a collision with an incoming car at the intersection. What has followed in the past few months is software updates, shifter change and brand new transmission but the critical issue remains. No complaints with dealership as they are merely third party to this end. The service staff is courteous and has maintained good communication with us all the way. But Alfa Romeo Corporate response is unbecoming of a premium brand. They moved our case to a Third Party Dispute Resolution Center, who offered us pennies as compensation for putting our lives at risk. A better and smarter company would have seen the seriousness of the situation and quickly replaced it with a new tested vehicle with matching or upgraded features. But our patience and positive approach has been met with indifference and lack of sense if urgency. We deeply regret buying this product from Alfa Romeo. As it stands today my garage is empty and I am paying on a loan for a fruit.
Best car I've ever owned

This car has a soul. You just feel connected to the road, and the steering is so sharp. The interior is high quality and well built. I love driving it so much that I keep finding excuses to go out and take a ride. This is a driver's car, made for who appreciates performance.

Own a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI with NAV, Harmon Kardon, Driver Assistance Package. I have owned Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, BMW, and other premium cars. This Alfa is one of the best cars I have ever owned. It will make you fall in love with driving again. Not sure if the complaints are just other manufacturers people making false claims or if they are real, but after three years, no problems. If there are any drawbacks at all, it is limited rear seating space. Update 01/2021. Love the car more than ever. No problems. Buy one.

I've put nearly 25,000 miles on my 2017 Alfa Giulia TI now. It still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. It's hard to arrive at the office without a smile on your face, and no matter how hard of a day I've had in the office, I always arrive home with a smile. I admit that I haven't driven the base Giulia so this review is strictly for the TI/Veloce version. I ordered mine with the basic interior and exterior (small screen, no fancy bodywork, standard seats, 18" wheels, no sunroof) but I specified it with the Performance Package (Limited slip diff, adaptive suspension, paddle shifters). I've owned several Porsches, Mercedes Benzes, Jaguars, and a Lexus. The Alfa delivers the best all round balance of performance, luxury, and efficiency. Steering in this car is almost psychic. Chassis balance is nearly perfect and neutral all the way through. The car accelerates much quicker than the 280hp would make you think. Perhaps it's because of the lightweight aluminum body panels making this car quite the feather weight of its class. My only complaints are that brake pedal feel is a bit dull at low speeds (typical for brake by wire) and the turbo lag is noticeable under 1,500rpms. But flip the suspension dial to D (Dynamic) and the car will make anybody feel like Fangio. Reliability has been very good. I've had a minor rattle coming from the passenger area that the dealer can't find. Only noticeable over bumpy roads with stereo off so it's not a deal killer. Dealer also replaced the dashboard due to some stitching coming undone. Proximity sensor went a little whacky at one point but was quickly addressed with a software update. And finally, during a routine service interval, the dealer found a leak in the turbo coolant hose. Aside from these minor issues, the car has been rock solid and dead nuts reliable. Note that this is a driver's car. If you're looking for fancy tech in the infotainment system, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for plush leather trim everywhere, you'll also be disappointed. Not that the interior is bad by any means (I mean, look at that beautiful steering wheel and start button!). But it's just not Mercedes level of luxury inside. That's not the point of the Giulia, it's a car that rewards you with an amazing driving experience each time. Don't believe me? Take one for a test drive....

Incredibly fun to drive - and it wants to be driven fast. Great traction on dry roads. Constant software-driven problems.
