2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 4dr Sedan (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

I have passed 10K miles on the car with zero problems (other than a minor glitch with radio presets fixed with software update). This is effectively a four door Ferrari for a remarkably reasonable price. The acceleration and handling are nothing short of supercar stunning. You look for any excuse to drive it: the most mundane errands are just a blast. The comments and stares at every parking lot add to the exotic car ownership experience. And yet the car is completely comfortable and civilized as an every day driver. My spouse was an exec for a Japanese car company so I was spoiled with new primo quality cars every two years and we also have other Hondas, Nissan/Infiniti's and a Lexus in the family and the Alfa is every bit their equal in build quality, fit and finish. And, oh by the way, the Montecarlo Blu on my Quadrifoglio has a depth and sparkle beyond any other blue that I've seen on any other car on the road -- again more like a super-exotic than others in the class, and the comments of strangers confirm this. I had apprehensions because of the exaggerated unreliability reputation, the truth has been, instead, bulletproof to date.

If Ferrari were to build a 4 door sedan, it would be much like this car. This new generation of ALFA sedans is that good. As a die-hard BMW enthusiasts for over 30 years, a former BMWCCA club racer, PCA National Instructor Corp member, I've been around the block a few times. There is not another mass produced sedan in the world I'd trade for my Quadrofolio, period. Not only does it have a 500+hp Ferrari engine, world class and dynamically adjustable chassis and suspension, killer brakes, a largely carbon fibre body, Ferrari paddle shifters, but an articulating front spoiler (another first in a road car) that all combine to literally run circles around the competition. But the best part, by far, has been largely overlooked by critics and public alike: balance and steering. The car's light weight makes it feel super agile...plus, with the engine well back in the car it's blessed with an enviable fore and aft weight distribution. Anyone coming from say an S4 will find this an epiphany and you may well hear a chorus of angels at your first entry into a bend at speed. But still the best is saved for last. The steering rack, straight out of a Ferrari 458 Italia, is nearly 40% faster than any production sedan. You simply look into a corner and this four door, 5 passenger Ducati just carves effortlessly following your line of sight with remarkably little steering input. THIS will be the most memorable characteristic of this remarkable vehicle long after the spine pinning, soul crushing acceleration runs up through the gears have become routine. If you want the best sedan on the planet, go test drive one. But be careful, this thing is pure, uncut, automotive crack.

I ordered my Giulia Quadrifoglio in the summer of 2017 and it arrived in the spring of 2018. After two years of a flawless, joyful experience and true belief in its solid engineering I decided to modfiy it! Now with 625hp its even more fun! Even after remap/tune, custon headers, a decate the car it is solid and the only failure was on the turbo wastegate system which is made of mostly plastic, so I upgraded with a alloy system and now no problems at all. My car is pushed hard on freeways and is driven in a major city. We love the car! This is after owning multiple BMW's! Frankly we had more issues with our M3 and our M5, such as throttle actuators, Smg pump failed 3 times in a year and rod bearings failure(Engine was destroyed on my M5), thermostat issues and sensor issues. The Alfa is the best handling sedan out there and just for insight I was looking to buy a used Mclaren Mp4-12c at the time I ordered the Alfa, that's how fun this car is. At that time I owened a Maserati Granturismo, now also own a Aston Martin Vantage V12 S. You wont be disappointed with the Alfa folks, my Guilia Quadrifoglio is such a joy I plan on never selling it! Its a keeper! Only quirk on the car is the Active Aero does like to have a fault from time to time, but a simple stop and restart resets it....I am willing to live with that. And for the infotainment system, who gives a crap!! If that was my focus i wouldnt be buying a performance sedan or a sport car, this is about driving experience and not GPS or the sound system.

We have a 2018 and it is a great car! The speed is amazing and we have had no problems. But, the turbo flaps sometimes get lodged open causing the engine light to go on. What’s weird is that the next day, it’s fine. Overall I have no complaints. It has 35,000 miles and still running smooth despite it being a Italian car. Edit: It is still a great car!

Because that’s what you’ll be spending most of our time in. 1000k miles - brakes bad, trim loose, throttle controls bad, engine bad.
