I have an 18’ Ti. I love it. It’s sneaky fast, handles like an animal and through 35k miles, zero dollars spent outside of tires and routine maintenance. Great ride.
I have a Stelvio in Misano Blue since 2 years. I can confirm the car is fantastic with lots of power , great steering and superbe gear box. It´s an eye catcher. I had no mechanical problems at all, after 50.000 miles. I am italian and 2 months ago I drove my Stelvio up to te Stelvio pass. That was a great feeling.
@@joesteel I had no extra costs at all. Just the standard change of oil and filters and check every 20.000 km. The average fuel consumption is 6,4 litres diesel/100 km if you drive on "a" ( advanced efficiency ) long trips on the highway, as I do. I live in the mountain so I also often drive curvy streets in a sporty way but at the end of the year the average consumption is not more then 6,4 litres
My husband owned an Alfa Romeo auto repair shop back in the 80s and 90s in Los Angeles and our customers just loved their Alfa’s! Or as we would say… they had an ALFA ROMANCE!! They were so beautiful and sexy back then and they still are! We had a GTV, an Alfetta, Berlina , Milano and a right hand drive Spider… each unique and a true driving experience like no other! And when your car purred, you knew it was an Alfa! Hoping one day to get my hands on a Stelvio! And the love affair continues ❤️❤️❤️
@@roarpal6314 great to know thanks for sharing ! Ultimately that’s the most valuable info at the end of the day how the build quality and engineering holds up with over 100,000 + miles !
Was seriously eyeing the BMW X4 M40, but the Stelvio kept calling me. At the end of the day, there are way too many BMW's, Audi's and Benz's where I live. Needless to say, I'm very pleased with my 21 Stelvio TI Sport !!!!
That’s the exact reason I got mine and I love it! Sick of seeing the same cars. People say bad things but ALL CARS give problems. They’re built by humans.
I just clocked 4,000 miles on my Misano Blue Stelvio Carbon edition Ti Sport. It's literally the perfect all-around daily driver. I'm coming from a C43 AMG which was fantastic and I don't miss it one bit. Raiti - have you seen the Carbon edition interior? Stunning! Keep up the truly excellent work my man!
I had been a bit against getting an SUV & had been looking more into the Giulia but a friend who works at a dealership brought one around & I instantly fell in love with the Stelvio. Beautiful outside & inside, especially with that red interior. Really considering it now.
I test drove one these the yesterday. I was blown away. Sporty interior, drives like a sports car, and no lean on turns. If I didn't have a Corvette C8 on order for my speed addiction, I would purchase one.
driving a Giulia since 2018, gave me lot of smiles and zero issues. I want more space now, getting a Stelvio without even thinking much about it. it's a no brainer, the best one out there in its category.
Nice looking SUV. Looks like a Storm Trooper. For a minute there I didn’t think you were going to mention the paddle shifters. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Can you get it in the V-6 506 HP Twin Turbo Power Train, that would be Awesome, as you load up a SUV you need that extra power. Great review as always. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺
Deposit down on a 20 plate and pick it up on Thursday this week on the way home from work in the North Sea. Not even seen one in the flesh so I reckon this will be the hottest blind date I've ever been on
@@RaitisRides Let's get a review of an X3 M40i. Recently picked one up and it's pretty impressive. I want to hear what the best car reviewer on UA-cam thinks of it.
I want to lease a Alfa Romeo but their dealership network is so sparse it makes it not worth it. My nearest dealership is 1 hr away. 52 miles to and from so it would rack me up 100 miles just for maintenance trips. Even then, how long will this dealership even be open? I had a closer dealership that closed down due to poor sales. If this dealership closes than the next closest one would be 2 hrs away, that just cant work with a lease for me. Ive also read repair shop horror stories that they dont know what they are doing or that they take forever to fix them. This does not bring confidence into the brand.
@@mr.anonymous9700 if I'm leasing it and i'm limited on miles yes. I typically don't travel outside of my city so I do low mileage leases but if my closest dealership is a 2 hr drive thats not gonna work.
My closest dealership is 2 hours away. Worth it. I have had the car since last September and haven't had to bring it in yet. I did have my oil changed in my hometown. The Lube shop I went to is owned by my husband's family and they were ready for me when I brought it in with my own AMSOIL and fuel filter. They had me out of there in ten minutes. It really hasn't been an issue for me that the dealership is 2 hours away.
Great review! I have a '21 in almost the same exact spec (black leather interior instead of the red). Love everything about it from design to performance and you captured it very well in this video. One thing to note is the hp is 280 which I see in the vid description, so bravo!
Just picked up a Monte Carlo Blue/ Chocolate Interior Fully Loaded Stelvio Sprint. So sad Alfa is gonna stop making that color combo after the 2021 year. Whatta beautiful ride. So happy with my decision. Thanks Joe for helping to seal the deal for me
Evening Joe! Glad you've done this review. Possibly one of the best used market vehicles on sale right now. Might be considering one. Any advice for a first time Alfa owner?
Would love it if you could try getting your hands on a 2021 Veloster N w/ DCT :) loving the reviews, they have been lots of help in my search for my first car.

I met you and your beautiful wife, Lori, at the Chicago Auto Show and you two are an awesome couple. Thank you for doing what you do and please continue to. Thank you to you and ALL of your crew. ✌🏾
You should test drive each one of them then make a choice because you are the one who is going dive it on a daily basis. But the alpine b7 is the best choice is you have deep pocket.
I was in love with my Giulia and Alfa Romeo as a brand, however, I will never again buy/recommend another Alfa Romeo in my life. I had the brake by wire system fail on me and it caused me to crash and total the car. They sent someone from Bosch to diagnose the vehicle and in the charts it clearly showed that something malfunctioned (brakes were slammed 2 seconds before the impact at 40 MPH and it took more than 1.5 seconds for the speed to start going down.) Stellantis told me that they were not going to take responsibility for it and that I needed to have my insurance pay for the vehicle. Absolute garbage. I will never recommend this car brand to anyone again! Buy an AUDI, BMW or Mercedes instead.
You have a lawsuite there, and instead of that. You post on youtube. Many companies you mention would reply as that. Cause people will not sue them. Are you here to spread probably the bad picture of a brand?
@@GettingAround69 lmao! You must not be very versed when it comes down to the law. Let me help you out. When it comes down to suing a motorvehicle manufacturer, you must have serious injuries or death. That's it. Attorneys will not take a case unless one of those two things happened. In my situation, thank God we were not going very fast. Good day.
Yes, it's beautiful. Just wait until you need an oil change ($300) or new brakes ($800) and forget it if you have a system malfunction. I just replaced my windshield for nearly 3k. I love my Stelvio, but like with any relationship, it has it's problems. She's parked for the 3rd week due to locked brakes. 😥
@@Rendf11 Hi Mike. Yes, the Alfa dealership. I sat right next to the guy and he showed me the invoice and we all (Alfa owners) couldn't believe it. Of course, I had to take away his Man Card for not changing his own oil!
Can’t wait to get in mine once I get back from New York this weekend! Getting a fresh oil change and service gonna put it in dynamic mode for the first time lolz
Love watching ur reviews Joe u are my guy, especially when u say "let's check out the business 😀. Hi Lori ur husband is awesome and u guys doing this together great team!!!!
@@Vinnyboombotz it depends on what engine you bought. The v8s and v12s are definitely not the most reliable. The S85 v10 can be absolutely unreliable. However, In-line 6s are a lot better in reliability, and it is imperative that you do the the routine maintenance. That's why there are some bmws that are still going strong after high mileage. My friend has an 2011 x5 and has over 90k. Still driving it and loving it
There are two trim packages. One gives stitched leather on top of doors and dash, and the other only has leather on center door sections. The Stelvio QV 510hp has full leather trim package, but that one starts around $80k. Joe’s video demo car has the full leather package.
And unfortunately you can’t have leather seats in the QV - just alcantara/leather combo. And black only (although can still opt for red dash). Actually a big shame to not be able to have that red leather in the top spec... And the brown...
Timing. Just looking into into this vehicle and a few others( BMW X4M, Ford Raptor and GLC 63) with the serious intent to buy. Holding off and waiting to see what the Cherokee SRT brings as well. I'm all over the place. I know. But thanks for the great review!!
Anyone know if reliability’s improved on these? If not you take less of a chance leasing, but if it’s really bad, not moving is not moving whether you buy or lease.
Joe if you were had a choice between this or a x3 30i or xc90 As I think they are in the same class for price which one would you take in terms of power and luxury combined
This is the car I had my heart set on and then realized that it does not have a ventilated seat option... complete game changer because I live in Texas😖
@@JDMSwervo2001 i love her and i loved this car, just cause it doesn’t fit your taste doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit hers. She liked it, she wanted it, i got it. Simple as that bro
@@principalofwelding2835 I’m referring to the reliability...that Camry would keep rolling for years while that Alfa is collecting dust at the service department. Italian cars are junky throw aways
Hi Joe! Man I love Alfa but they depreciate so much over the years. They are also notorious for being unreliable. But you can’t take away that they are very beautiful car and very unique! Great review again Joe!
These are perfect leases.. they tend to have nice lease deals every couple months. Get 10-12k miles and you can still enjoy the car while not paying an arm and a leg for the car + maintenance
I have to Zonk the Rear egg shape exterior and the Infotainment screen. But it looks like it will be perfect to drive though. Kind of like the Audi, they sold me on the test drive. However as we approach 2021, I need a better Screen like 10 inch or 12 inch screen. More bang for the buck.
If I’m taking a chance with Alpha’s notorious reliability issues I’m going all in with the Quadrifoglio ... don’t cheat yourself treat yourself 🍀 ..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice vehicle for sure, but for 59k might want to look at a BMW X3 M40, Audi SQ5. A bit outdated on the dash and updated infotainment looks like it might need another update to match the German competition.
Raiti BABY !!! Love the reviews....not so sure about your interpretation of the badge however...The Red Cross is the emblem of the city of Milan and the Biscione (grass snake) is symbolic of the Visconti family that ruled Milan from 1277 to 1447 initially as lords and then as dukes and it is well established that the Visconti Biscione is eating a child....

There are two trim packages. One gives stitched leather on top of doors and dash, and the other only has leather on center door sections. The Stelvio QV 510hp has full leather trim package, but that one starts around $80k. Joe’s video demo car has the full leather package.
And unfortunately you can’t have leather seats in the QV - just alcantara/leather combo. And black only (although can still opt for red dash). Actually a big shame to not be able to have that red leather in the top spec... And the brown...
you’re my favorite car guy of all time, Joe! been a sub since you had 60k!
That really means the world to me! Thanks hanks for being on the journey with me!
Wow...love this car... hope to get me one in the near future.
Thank you for letting me bring it to you Samuel!
I own one since 4 weeks. 550 hp and 40mm shortend struts erbacher racing. This car goes furios, 0 -100 km in 2,95 „RaceLogic measurement !!!
Timing. Just looking into into this vehicle and a few others( BMW X4M, Ford Raptor and GLC 63) with the serious intent to buy. Holding off and waiting to see what the Cherokee SRT brings as well. I'm all over the place. I know. But thanks for the great review!!
totally my dream car 😭😭
510 hp best and best crossover mini suv by Ferrari👍
This is true Laszio.
This has the Nero Edizione package BTW the dark accents are not stock.
One reason it is $59k on sticker. Options add up. Skip the Nero package and save a ton of money with CF parts from (dare I say) China. Or not.
Anyone know if reliability’s improved on these? If not you take less of a chance leasing, but if it’s really bad, not moving is not moving whether you buy or lease.
Fresh whip bro!!! That is fresh to def.
OMG I loved the car the minute I saw it!❤❤
Just got the 2020 Sport TI AWD and I am not looking back....after being a BMW customer forever.
That is wonderful Al! Congrats!
Same and never going back to BMW!
Joe if you were had a choice between this or a x3 30i or xc90
As I think they are in the same class for price which one would you take in terms of power and luxury combined
Sport: x3 or Stelvio. Lux: xc90 (on the lux side the BMW and Alfa are about equal.)
XC90 is not a direct competitor - it’s a lot bigger and more expensive. Also quite sluggish with only 4cyl options... XC60 is a Stelvio/X3 competitor.
This is the car I had my heart set on and then realized that it does not have a ventilated seat option... complete game changer because I live in Texas😖
"If your kids like to play with knifes" lol
In Texas, they probably play guns.
I LOVE THIS! I ALSO JUST GOT ONE FOR MY MOM!!
You must hate your mother
@@JDMSwervo2001 i love her and i loved this car, just cause it doesn’t fit your taste doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit hers. She liked it, she wanted it, i got it. Simple as that bro
@@JDMSwervo2001 2006 camry to 2018 alfa seems like a good jump to me
@@principalofwelding2835 I’m referring to the reliability...that Camry would keep rolling for years while that Alfa is collecting dust at the service department. Italian cars are junky throw aways
Hard to mistake an Alfa Romeo on the road. For over $60,000 when it’s all said and done, I’d like to see the hp pushing a bit over 300 though.
Looks even better on the used market. Lots for under 30k
@@jkav5062 You’re right. That is definitely more appealing.
Hi Joe! Man I love Alfa but they depreciate so much over the years. They are also notorious for being unreliable. But you can’t take away that they are very beautiful car and very unique! Great review again Joe!
These are perfect leases.. they tend to have nice lease deals every couple months. Get 10-12k miles and you can still enjoy the car while not paying an arm and a leg for the car + maintenance
@@PMTCards agree, while it’s a nice car I would never buy them outright. Too much money to maintain. Same go with Maserati
Test drove this car and got thumbs up immediately!
I have to Zonk the Rear egg shape exterior and the Infotainment screen. But it looks like it will be perfect to drive though. Kind of like the Audi, they sold me on the test drive. However as we approach 2021, I need a better Screen like 10 inch or 12 inch screen. More bang for the buck.
I totally understand where you re coming from!
small correction my man.. @5:23 its 280 HP I think.. not 208.. God bless :)
Thanks for the heads up!
I LOVE ITALIAN CARS & THE BEST!
I HAVE A ALFA - GT - LOVE IT!
If I’m taking a chance with Alpha’s notorious reliability issues I’m going all in with the Quadrifoglio ... don’t cheat yourself treat yourself 🍀 ..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice vehicle for sure, but for 59k might want to look at a BMW X3 M40, Audi SQ5. A bit outdated on the dash and updated infotainment looks like it might need another update to match the German competition.
Nice video
Raiti BABY !!! Love the reviews....not so sure about your interpretation of the badge however...The Red Cross is the emblem of the city of Milan and the Biscione (grass snake) is symbolic of the Visconti family that ruled Milan from 1277 to 1447 initially as lords and then as dukes and it is well established that the Visconti Biscione is eating a child....
