I've had the car for two weeks now and, so far, I am very satisfyed. It is a very good looking and handling car. The interior is not full of bells and whistles, which I like. Not a lot of buttons. Everything is logically layed out. Comfortable seats and a comfortable ride which could be turned into a sporty ride with the turn of a knob. Some nitpicks: There are only 7 presets on the radio - in total. My last car had over 20 presets. The voice activation does not work for the phone. It seems that the early batches of Stelvios do not come equiped with Apply Play or Android. All phone calls have to be made manually - not through any voice activation. I called Alfa Romeo to ask if when the software became available, would I be able to download it onto my car. They didn't know, so, my feeling is that I won't be able to. Not happy about that. The view out of the back is a bit limited but that is not surprising as the "swooping" design of the rear of the car is one of the things I liked about it. Because of this, the safety package is something you should consider. The dashboard view of the backup camera should be larger and it seems that it should be a bit brighter or have a higher resolution. Again, these are some nitpicks on a SUV that I am very happy with.

This is a great driving SUV. It feels like driving a sports sedan but has more trunk space and sits up higher. It is fast and fun to drive. It doesn't take bumps as kindly as typical SUV, but then again if you wanted a typical SUV then you wouldn't buy this car. I wanted a sports car and my wife wanted an SUV. This has been a great compromise, especially because it handles the potholes here in the northeast WAY better than our Mercedes sedan did. General drawbacks - Some features feel a bit cheap in a way Mercedes would never have skimped. Specific drawbacks 1. some nobs feel cheap 2. heat seats are more like seat warmers, not hot or fast. 3 back up camera feels pretty 2012 not 2017 4. parking sensors are a bit sluggish and not as accurate as I would like. Overall this car is a beast and I love it.

Owned a BMW X-3 and X-5 prior to buying my Stelvio. Was about to go to a Porsche Macen S and drove the Stelvio, way better driving vehicle than the Macen. Have had the Stelvio for about 10 months and love driving it, especially on road trips. Will never own another BMW after owning this Alpha Romeo, it is by far a superior vehicle to the BMW. This vehicle has power to spare on the road and is fast and smooth. I can drive this vehicle all day with out the fatigue produced in other vehicles, Love It. I tell every one thinking about an Audi, BMW or Mercedes to drive an Alpha Romeo before pulling the trigger, it will amaze yo.

NY DailyNews 06/22/2018 article : " The 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio will impress you with these 8 desirable traits… but it also comes with a weakness. " http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/street-smarts/8-great-traits-2018-alfa-romeo-stelvio-list-article-1.4040796 They only can point out " one weakness" : that is the "smaller" cargo hold, ! Actually it's not bad at all. Similar to Audi Q5, bigger than Mercedes GLC, Land rover Discovery Sports. The bigger SUVs with more cargo space are Mercedes GLE , BMW X5, Land Rover Velar. Those are much bigger SUVs with much worse Gas mileages, and also will cost you much more ! Plus, they do not have the Stelvio's ENGINE , Handling, and the " Look " !! Not even need to mention Acura RDX or Lexus RX 350 . Buying Tips : Buy Ti then adding Sport Package or other , not to buy '' A regular Stelvio with adding other extra " , the price will be similar. The salesman got confused sometimes. Ti got spacial wood trims. One thing I like to point out : there is no place for the front license place. The NJ / NY law requires two plates, one for the front, another one for the back. My sales lady said that all buyers so far are taking their chances. ( by leaving one plate inside.)

I read just about every review I could find on the Stelio. The I test drove it 2 times. For the most part, I agree with most of the critics: as far as SUVs go, this thing is a blast to drive (I moved from an Audi A3 and A4), with the ground clearance that makes you not have to worry about dragging on that curb or speed bump. My fear is that Fiat Chrysler may have made an error by picking a Ferrari guy for this project. What I mean is, to make a best selling SUV (which I understand to have been their goal) you probably need to prioritize things like space, back seat room, luxe finishes, the latest tech, etc. Only car guys care that they're driving a 2 liter aluminum engine with a carbon fiber drive shaft for under $50K! My priorities were probably more aligned with those engineers, which is why I decided to go with the Stelvio. I wanted a great handling SUV (for ground clearance and better visibility) with a great sounding stereo (I think the Harmon Kardon premium system beats my Audi's Bang & Olufsen premium sound in the Audi). My 2 small dogs typically occupy the back seat and the not-so-huge trunk passed the Costco test last weekend when we bought toilet paper, paper towels, water softener and various groceries that all fit in the back! Admittedly, it does not have the room or the sweet note of the supercharged V6 in the Jaguar F-Pace ($20-$30K more) and I have not driven the Porsche Macan because it $30K more (similarly equipped). My vehicle was loaded with just about every option and in the TiSport trim but was discounted almost $10K below MSRP (to around $43K). For that price, it was a no brainer!
