Used 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Consumer Reviews
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.

La Dolce Vita! Again and Again!
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.

Flawless, sublime and emotive
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.

Like No Other!
To paraphrase a car magazine story about the quadrifoglio " Supermodel looks, blistering performance, and world class handling. " this car has ne constantly thinking of a reason why I need to drive it. ( I have to drive to work right now, I have to run errands right now, I have to drive along the beach road right now, etc. ) it is not perfect (no manual option interior finish not as luxurious as some people might like) but it is close. Some highs include the ferrari designed engine, the handling which connects you to the road like no other car I have ever driven (including a bed Corvette) and the stunning good looks. People are always walking up to look and admire when it is parked in front of a store or restaurant. The acceleration in Race mode is an adrenalin rush. This is my second Giulia and I was concerned about reliability but I am in my second year of ownership and there have been no problems. I have read that Alfa Romeo spent much time and effort improving reliability and it has paid off nicely I will never again drive anything but an Alfa.
