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!

Just about perfect (but rear legroom is snug).

Handling is excellent - this is what makes me choose this over the 911 parked in my garage next to it 4 times out of 5. Turbo 4 is great, though it really would be better with a manual gearbox. Rear legroom is tight, but good for kids or adults on short rides. Ti sport is nicely kitted out, the way to go.

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.

2nd stelvio for me. First was a 2018 Ti Sport, great vehicle, no big issues, put on 35k km. For this one, 2021- be sure to check the fit and finish before signing- the boat ride over trashed the paint on our green 2021 sport Ti. Stock stereo is just ok vs premium, no adaptive suspension option in this year, some interior improvements some disappointing ones. Optioning is wack- no options on the quad, but the Lusso (or whatever they call it now) has light interior options but not on the upper end versions like the sport ti. The console is a nice upgrade but the rear camera is still small- BUT not that bad, especially vs the jag. Fender wells are lined with a felt that should be reserved for under the hood. I suspect this will not wear well and keep moisture and mud. It also exposes electrical clips and suspension innards not with cutouts inside the wheelwell- also exposes, what appears to be bare metal. Alfa going back to its roots of oxidization. Good news, the driving is great, this is a drivers SUV, and the buyers will not care about the bells and gadgets in other brands. Recommend the sport edition as you want the seats that are bolstered and have manually extendable seat base- like the old bmw's. Vs other brands like audi, the interior pales, vs bmw the tech lags, vs American its much better, vs porsche base macan the alfa is leagues ahead in terms of drivability. If you want a fun, very drivable unique car that you want to just lease (I would not own any new car)- this is the SUV to get, it's worth it to at least test drive it. In many cases, the alfa dealership is in Ferrari dealerships and you get a nice level of service. The dealer fees (vs Mercedes $5000cad) are great and the lease maintenance costs are very good. The car is basically fully optioned and I didn't feel the need to get the premium package with the better stereo and leather dash wasn't worth it to me- but I do miss the better sound. I get complements and school kids all the time staring and waving at the car. Pretty good vs the multitudes of A5's, x5's, CLA's and macans out there. Update: part 45k km, and it's been great. The initial quality concerns have not played out. Highly recommend staggering tires, have 295's on the back, sooooo much more traction. To future buyers that want something different but higher end, go look at the Maserati Grecale, it's the stelvio but the interior is done the way it should be. But at the moderna and trofelo levels, you could get a used or new quad. I still recommend this brand.
