A Fantastic Machine with Compromise

Coming from a long line of BMW cars from basic 3 series to the M and X vehicles with an Audi thrown in here and there, this is a welcome change. I am a spirited driver that appreciates handling and feel as much as acceleration. The Alfa has so much that you can not put on paper. This is my favorite car that I have personally owned. It really is pretty too. People stop me at gas stations and coffee shops to ask me what it is. The good: performance for the money. Porsche level steering in a mid level sedan. The not so good: Uncertain reliability long term. (So I leased it) Interior and tech is not quite up to audi and BMW,but with Carplay and Android auto, who cares. If you are looking for a sporty sedan that leans more towards the sporty side than the competition, you need to test drive one.

Everything I said about this car is still true...but I changed cars. The 2021 did not have the paddle shift option...and when I drove a 2023 with the paddle shift, I traded in the 2021. I miss the 2021 because it was glossy black...but I actively use the paddles so I am very happy. But if they came out with a new model that gave me the glossy black color and the paddles...I would probably make another switch. But both these Giulias are the best cars I have ever owned...bar none. The best. I am in love with this car. I am a car enthusiast who has owned many Alfas and Porsches and Audis and Mercedes plus a Maserati and a Ferrari. This Alfa Giulia bests all of them for sheer all around fun to drive and practicality...and overall performance. I have not had any issues...and this is my second Giulia...and both are/were wonderful. So why did I sell this wonderful glossy black 2021 Giulia? Because Alfa made me an offer I could not refuse on a 2023, with red leather sports seats and the paddle shift option. Plus I was able to actually figure out the navigation system (it uses Tom Tom). The color is dark metallic gray, with I am fine with. Of all three Giulia's I have owned, the first in Silverstone Silver was they best for exterior color. Again, I went with the base 17 inch bright silver wheels. The car continues to amaze me and still takes the most mundane trips to the cleaners or the market or wherever, and makes it entertaining. Yes, the Giulia is still the best car I have ever owned. The steering and handling are superb. Unless Alfa comes out with a ICE powered car to top this, this is my long term keeper. If you are a car lover, you must give this a go.

Alfas form immediate emotional connections with drivers. You just have to try driving one. We've put on about 15k miles of every condition in one year, and the only thing we've needed to do is get better tires. Don't look for too many miles out of the (surprisingly decent) pirelli rfts.

We owned and loved Audi A4, A5, A6, Q7, until we drove this! An absolute pleasure to drive. One note: If using the great ride of Pirelli tires, expect to replace them at approx 16,000 miles.
