2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Consumer Reviews

What a blast ...
2.1.2025 - This car never gets old. I am glad I purchased it when I did because I do not like the newer model. The front lighting and interior digital display make the vehicle seem ordinary. Anyway, the most amazing thing is that, even after two years, it looks brand new (the paint job is just beautiful), and drives and corners like it's "on rails." I still get stares and thumbs-ups from people. I have not had a single mechanical problem and visited my dealership only for scheduled services and one recall. I have owned my brand new 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce for a year and a half now, and I must say driving it has been a blast. The exterior styling sets this sports sedan apart from other cars on road today. The color I picked (Ocra-GT) is a rare find and makes the vehicle even more beautiful. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard wows from strangers. The interior is impeccable, and I love the leather seat design. The bolsters hug the driver as the vehicle makes tight turns. The ride is surprisingly quiet, and the Giulia accelerates quickly. The fuel efficiency is also incredibly good for a sports car. I get about 24-25 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving. The trim I bought (Veloce) has level 2 autonomous features that work as advertised even though the vehicle has a low center of gravity. I have not had any major mechanical or other issues with my car except for taking it in for a quick software update and changing the battery. Combine all of this with the excellent purchase experience at the dealer in NC (Leith Alfa Romeo), including the reasonable purchase price, to the smooth service at my local Alfa dealership (Safford Alfa Romeo - Tysons Corner, VA), it is clear that Alfa Romeo is laser focused on the US market. If you are looking for a sports car that has all the current safety features, excellent build quality, attractive styling, and superb driving characteristics, the Giulia is an exceptional buy.

Horrid, antiquated, ergonomic disaster
This is how cars from behind the Iron Curtain used to feel, for those of you who remember before the Iron Curtain fell. Yeah, they had 4 wheels and an engine, but they weren't much fun. Well, if you want to re-live these bad old days, get yourself into an Alfa Giulia. I had one for 3 days as a rental, and that is 3 days more than anyone should be punished with one. Makes the Toyota Camry I had feel like a luxury car. Would you like a trunk that can accommodate one small suitcase? Then here's your winner? How about bad steering posture, would you like that? Well come right up! You cannot sit comfortably without the steering column hitting your knees. Yeah, I've had that before, but it was cars from the 1960s. Then there's the really distinctive lunacy--the shifting paddles. Few people ever use those, so sensible car makers (like the Germans), tuck them behind the steering wheel where they do no harm. But not the Giulia. They must be real proud of theirs. They are a garish chrome finish and about the size and shape of ballet slippers. And they stick very far out to either side. So if you want to use the turn signal, or the windshield wipers, you will fight with the paddles first. You said you want to use the turn signal? Well, would you like it to cancel itself too? Tough! Once in a while it will do that, but mostly you will struggle to manually cancel. Would you like your start button on your steering wheel? No, I didn't think so. Neither to I. But the designers of the Giulia thought this is a wonderful place to put it. The automatic gearshift is the kind with an escutcheon, not a rubbery boot. When you get this on a German car, it's firm and solid. On the Giulia, when you shift, it feels like the whole trim is coming apart. After a while, this is not much fun either. Would you like the car to look like it's been styled for adults, rather than babies? Out of luck again. The whole interior styling looks like the designer was previously designing plastic toy trucks in his last job. I am just mind-boggled that anyone who ever drove one for more than 50 feet would buy one. It's a very diverse world out there, and different folks like different things, but it's truly hard to imagine how anyone can inspect this car with even the most cursory look and decide that they want to buy it. If someone gives you one free, well you can't look a gift horse in the mouth. But to pay good money for such a car....that simply strains my credulity. Please don't!

Jerky / noisy / ridiculous turn stalk
Rented the car for one day. Hated it. The car jerks when the gas is released, the turn stalk is a nuisance - you can't cancel a turn signal after changing lanes unless you pull the stalk in the opposite direction but only a certain way by applying a certain amount of force. Otherwise, you end up pulling it in both directions dozens of times in the space of one trip. The inside feels rather noisy. Infotainment system is overly complicated. Will never drive this car again! Back to Japanese vehicles.
Great Sports Sedan
If you want a Ferrari engineer Italian sports sedan this is the one. Nothing better in its price range. Test drive one yourself.
