Athletic ride and fun car to have

2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

We're moved over to the Alfa after having a few BMW X3's, the last of which was had the no longer available straight six. We like the styling of the Alfa inside and out (still do) and wanted the more muscular engine without going for the fuel drinking M that is now the only way to get a bigger engine in the BMW SUV. The Alfa provides faster acceleration and better handling in the more base models. We had some concerns about reliability, but are now well past 20k with our 2019 Alfa and have had no problems. It's a fun car that gets people's attention and yet still checks the SUV boxes.

The Unmentioned Model

2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio 4dr SUV AWD (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

I have a '19 Stelvio Quadrifolio and it is Breathtaking in is handling, Braking (Unnecessary Carbon Fiber Package and comfort whether it is on mountain back roads or on the highway. This model is a sleeper unless you know what the four leaf clover badges on the front fenders mean. It is margianlly faster than the Giuia sedan thanks to its four wheel drive, which never sends more than 50% of its power forward. The engine is designed and built by Ferrari and I am told by the servicing mechanic that everything inside the engine is labeled "Ferrari". Imagine: 2.9 Liters producing over 500hp!. The best part is that the car can handle the power and those of us who may be a bit older can get in and out without a problem. The car is just plain Superb!

The Stelvio is a well balanced (50/50 weight distribution) Vehicle. It's handling in all conditions New England can throw at is extremely competent. The Q4 all wheel system is seamless and compliments this primarily rear wheel drive platform. I am currently averaging 24.5 mpg and have seen 31.5 mpg @ 70-75 mph consistently on the highway. It is a great city vehicle due to the responsive, stable handling, great visibility and a strong powertrain. The 8 speed ZF transmission compliments the 2.0 Liter turbo. It is never left flat-footed in a traffic situation where horsepower and torque is needed. The HVAC system heats and cools the cabin very well with minimal fan noise. The tremendous, 3 setting, heated seats and steering wheel are welcoming on a 10 degree morning! The body panels are aluminum, bonded to a high strength steel inner structure. No creaks, groans or flex! It has a 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating (built like a vault!) Reliability has been perfect. Zero issues in 6,000 miles of New England winter and spring roads. I drove all of the competitors (BMW, Audi, Acura, Volvo). I saw no reason to buy any one of them. It drives that much better and has a 110 year history of handling superiority and powertrain excellence to support that. What more can I say!

Unreliable, poor service

The most unreliable vehicle with the poorest service I've experienced. Check engine light from the first day of ownership. Dealers stating no loaners available, no service possible for 2+ weeks. Dropped off the new vehicle for service, Ubered home, 3 weeks later still not repaired. The car has sat longer in for service than I've had it in my driveway and I've owned it less than 45 days. Apathetic uncaring unapologetic scripted "Alfa-Care" hotline. Beginning a lemon-law claim. Poor service experience at any price, let alone nearly $100k.

Great Ride, Questionable Tech

2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I've had the car about 2 weeks. The acceleration is surprisingly good for a 4cyl. engine and as some reviews have said the brake feel is a bit odd - but you get used to it. On the first acceleration after a cold start the transmission has some trouble figuring out where it should be, but that goes away very quickly. The car is "nimble". It's not a sports car, but for an SUV, it's amazingly agile. It's also QUIET inside; well insulated from road noise, pervasive on the worn-thin road surfaces the Seattle area- a real blessing. As pointed out in some reviews, the pillars are rather thick and block a complete view. Tear window, due to it's angle, provides a truncated vertical view. Also, getting in and out (I'm average height) is a careful procedure due to the rake of the A pillar. Electronics: The screen is on the small side which isn't really an issue except for the backup camera. Also when using Waze or Google Maps or any other function with Android Auto, it's hard to do anything else with the infotainment system - not impossible, but difficult at best. (I don't know if it's car's fault or that of Android Auto.) All in all, I'm very happy with it.

Coming from a GM vehicle (Tahoe) I wanted to downsize. There were alot of choices. Problem is they are almost all the same ( same looks and performance) found out Alfa Romeo was back in the US. Absolutely fell in love with the looks. Once I took it for a test drive it was a done deal. Stunning handling, excellent layed out interior and the performance was amazing. You will not be disappointed !!

STELVIO QUADRIFOGLIO VS URUS

2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio 4dr SUV AWD (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

I have owned a Lamborghini Urus and I can tell you first hand that for the price difference of $150K the SQ is as viseral and fun to drive as the Urus and it is lighter, smaller and more nimble. It feels very similar to a Ferrari F430 when it comes to shifting and handling. The exhaust tone is just as radical as the Urus. It is a driver's car. The interior is absolutely 100% sports car especially the CF that envelopes the cabin. I am 100% satisfied!! Great value for the money!!
The most fun SUV to drive!

I have owned many cars and so far this is probably the best driving SUV I have ever owned. It is responsive, handles amazing, very quick, and comfortable. I purchased the car used and I did purchase an extended warranty up to 75000 miles just to be on the safe side. So far I have only had the car into the dealership for a window actuator that was a little noisy. Other than that, no issues. You will love driving this vehicle. For reference, I also have a 2020 Audi Q5. The Audi has better tech and a bit more comfortable seats but in no way compares to how fun the Stelvio is to drive. The Alfa gets way more looks too.

The old story of Alfa's not being reliable is definitely in the past. We've never had any problem whatsoever. Our car is as quick, beautiful, and great comfort as anyone would ever need. We tested a Tesla model S performance vehicle after we had our Stelvio for a year. The Tesla was quicker than our Alfa, and that's all I can say about it. However being a drag racer back in the 70's, I will say that performance would scare the life out of any daily driver. My wife is 5 ft tall, and the seat would not raise high enough for her to test drive it. Very disappointing. It was 91 degrees outside and the a/c never did perform adequately. All we can positively say about the Tesla is it was quiet.

I've owned a Porsche, a Benz, a G35 but with a family, opted to try the Alfa. The handling is amazing and the design is gorgeous. Spacious enough for me and the kids and the gas mileage is decent. But... here are the problems. 1) It dings and rings every single time you even get CLOSE to another car or curb. The front, when it bottoms, yells at you! There's no touch screen! ARE YOU KIDDING? It's 2019! There's no SPARE? ARE YOU KIDDING? And you CANNOT find the replacement tire ANYWHERE. Yup, had a screw in the tire. 309 bucks later. LAME storage space for change, keys, etc. Oh, and THE most annoying thing... if you're on your hands free, and you go into your house, it KEEPS SWITCHING BACK TO INSIDE THE CAR, even though you haven't been in your car for 10 minutes (I finally figured out how to fix it, thanks to YouTube. The dealer didn't even know how!) Forget trying to answer your phone while backing up. It's a sexy car, but I've had sexy girlfriends, too and in the end, both weren't worth the extra effort. UPDATE: Right before its 2nd year and subsequent turn it, it fell apart - dead battery, water leaked into the passenger door frying the electrical system and destroying the speaker - after 2 weeks in the shop... it died again... same problem... 2 more weeks in the shop... I just told them to keep it and good riddance!!!
