2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I researched this car for months before I bought it. The internet presents Alfa Romeo as a brand that is not to be trusted, but the more recent Giulia reviews (2020 model onward) contradicted the negative opinions of the brand. Because of the conflicting information, I was not sure of what would be in store for me as a Giulia owner. I finally found a site that was filled with Giulia OWNER reviews, and their overwhelmingly positive tone started tilting me the way I really wanted to go; I saw a Giulia on the road, chased it down and did a lighting-fast interview with the owner while we were stopped at a red light. He couldn't say enough good things about his year-old, trouble-free car. "Buy one!" he enthusiastically concluded. That short talk was what finally pushed me to buy. I was hesitant, but took the plunge; I bought a Misano blue 2023 Giulia Veloce. It was labeled as used, but only had 3,700mi collected over 15 months as one of the dealer's loaner cars. The price it was listed at was an offer I could not refuse. For the first three months I second guessed my purchase due to seemingly intermittent check engine lights, but after lots of help & patience from the Anaheim Hills dealer service department (new throttle body and battery, both under warranty $0 spent), all my doubts vanished. Since the repairs, it's been a reliable daily driver; it has remained trouble-free for the last eleven months, and I've only had to pay for the one-year service. I absolutely love the car. I couldn't be happier. It's beautiful, and drives like it's on rails. The roads feel silky smooth, and I jump in it and take off at the slightest excuse. Short drives, long drives, it makes no difference. The experience of the drive is great! It responds immediately, and handles wonderfully. The sound system is great also. Great speakers. I also appreciate the small, nicely integrated infotainment screen. Other new cars I was considering have this huge i-pad looking screen sticking out of the center console which I find really unappealing. I can't think of any serious negatives now that "the troubles" are in the distant past. As far as "negatives" go, I do wish it had the tan interior; mine has the 2024 standard black leather, and it gets hot out in the sun, but I expect window tinting will take care of that. I also like chrome; mine has blacked out window chrome, and a carbon fiber center grill "V" instead of the chrome one. That's it though, just cosmetic stuff. I am stunned that I don't see more on the road; I have seen some in my area, but very few. It is such a wonderful car, but there is zero advertising as far as I can tell, and it is virtually an unknown brand in the US. I did see one om display, parked in front of the Costco near my house. As I drove past it, there was a guy peering in the driver's window. "Buy one!" I called to him as I rolled by in mine. He waved & smiled back. I wish people could know what a great car it is; so many are missing out, on a wonderful driving experience. I am guessing this is due to the sketchy reputation the brand has on the internet. It's all unfounded, unfortunate hearsay, and seemingly based on a decades-long, but ancient history of electrical and mechanical troubles. Based on my personal experience with the car, I would say the dark days of Alfa Romeo ownership are in the past. I'm very glad I overcame the fear induced by the naysayers, and that I did buy the car; if you are considering owning a Giulia of your own, "Buy one!" I hope the Costco guy did buy one. If he did, I'm sure he's loving it. I'm having fun driving mine every day.

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

2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

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.

I have had lots of cars, Ferrari, Maserati, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche (6) and 10 Alfas (including 2 race cars)...the Giulia is absolutely the best of all of them. Just going to Trader Joe's becomes a fun drive. The lines get better every year. I have had zero issues with it (and the 2021 I owned before). A QV might be a little overkill for me...but the base Giulia is so good, I don't see anything I'd want to trade it for.
