Used 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Consumer Reviews
STELVIO QUADRIFOGLIO VS URUS
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!!
Italian Performer 5 stars
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.

After a Year... After 2 Years
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!!!

Better than the Best Car Ever!
I have owned the 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio for 4 years . The car makes me smile when I see it, sit in it and drive it. 5.4 seconds 0 - 60. nimble great steering, Brembo Brakes, Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft. 26 mpg at 80 miles an hour on trips to Florida. After 3-4 hours we can get out of the car and walk. The Sport Seats are very comfortable .Reliability has been perfect with no problems. Stafford Dealership in Tysons provides great service. Am thinking on buying a 2023 Stelvio because we love this one and have driven all BMW Suv's which do not provide the driving pleasure of this Italian jewel!

Great SUV, fantastic value, ignore the cynics
I’ve driven BMWs and Audi’s for years and always thought I would never make a move to an Italian car. I was wrong! I love my Stelvio TI Sport in Green. It is fully loaded with pano roof and adaptive dampers, plus CarPlay. It’s very quick, engine is responsive and it handles great. It stands out from the boring Q5 crowd and is genuinely a fun drive day to day. I’ve been amazed by reliability and economy. In 7 months I’ve done 10k miles and not a single issue. Free service and recall just completed at pleasant dealership. Loaner was my identical car! Downside is the Gera shifter is a little cheap felling and the brakes take a little getting used to but other than that I love it. Buy one. The 2019 is on great deals right now and if you get one with radar cruise control it’s pretty up to date.
