The Alfa Romeo Giulia, reintroduced in 2016, is among the older models in the compact sports sedan category. Renowned for its exceptional handling, the Giulia has also been criticized for reliability issues. For 2024, it has received a mild update aimed at maintaining its competitiveness against rivals such as the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CT4, and Genesis G70. The update's effectiveness in keeping the Giulia relevant in this dynamic segment remains to be seen.

I'm so tired of the constant reports by the automotive press about reliability. We've owned four new Alfas, including a Giulia QV and a Stelvio QV. They all have been rock sold after four years of ownership. So for a brand that is characterized as unreliable, I don't buy it. I'm also a member of the Alfa Owners Club, again no one is complaining about reliability. I've owned unreliable new Porsches, Audis and Mercedes Benz cars. Yet, they are never described as unreliable. I'm convinced this false reporting on Alfas has killed the brand in the USA.
JD Power Reliability Survey 2023 UK - second most unreliable executive car
Reliability rating 77.3%
The Alfa Romeo Giulia may look drop-dead gorgeous and be great to drive, but it’s less fun to live with. Overall, 44% went wrong, with a third being out of action for more than a week. Although Alfa Romeo paid for 72% of repairs, 17% of owners faced bills in excess of £1000. The main bugbears were batteries, electrics and the engine.
I second this. I've had my guilia since 2017. 167,000k (miles) on the dash, no issue at all. Aside from standard maintenance, the only repair I've made was to a blower motor switch. That's it. Because of this experience, I purchased a 2019 QV, currently with almost 50k miles, again not a single issue whatsoever. Flash forward to 2023, I purchased yet another Alfa for my spouse. Stevlio veloce. With nearly 15k on it, no issues whatsoever. My Honda Accord didn't even last 100,000k before having major engine repairs prior to getting into the Alfa Romeo lineup, so this bias against Alfa for unreliability is just ridiculous. They are truly great vehicles.
Take surveys like the UK 2023 one with a pinch of salt. The same survey has the Stelvio as one of the most reliable large SUVs and it has same mechanicals and electricals as the Giulia. It beat all the german cars on the list.
I agree 100% with you all! Same experience as you, great car, fun to drive since day one, definitely reliable/more reliable than several other brands out there. About the driving experience, it’s just next level. Who said the opposite doesn’t understand performance cars.
And 2024 Gorgio platform based cars ARE reliable because they are very much sorted out in their product cycle. I am buying a QV Giulia this month (picking up on Friday 31st 🙂). One of the last "real cars" available. 5 Year/100k km warranty also helps the confidence.
Alfa Romeo ranks 1° among premium brands according to J.D Power 2023!
I have 2017 Ti at 97,000 miles. Still beautiful, when I wash and wax it people think I have a 2021 or 2022. I have replaced AC compressor, and a coolant plug (plastic!!) failed. That's it. Leather dash has not lifted, seats still butter soft with no cracking (and I live in Texas). Use GOOD oil (Mobil 1 ESP/Pennzoil Euro LX/Castrol/Motul; every 5K miles. Replace the spark plugs every 60K (NGK Iridium only --- $12 each at a Dodge dealer). If you see crazy warning lights all of sudden, replace the battery first. That's it. Take care of it and it will take care of you.
Good to hear. I've got the same as you with 60k miles, planning on keeping it for as long as possible
No doubt the best looking performance sedan on the planet! I have a series 4 - the last of the petrol Quadrifoglios. Like you say it is docile as a daily driver and an absolute beast on the weekend. There aren’t many over here in Australia so they really stand out on the road from all the Audis, BMWs and Mercedes. I think it will become a future classic for sure. I must say that the infotainment is a bit outdated… but the driving experience more than makes up for that. That’s why you buy a car such as this! ❤ Fantastic review, rather than just a presenter sliding and smoking the wheels around a track.
i’ve had like 8 Beemers over four decades. I’d say my three Giulia’s have been far more reliable than each and every one of them. Parts are a bit harder to find and often more expensive but not by much. Tragic that they are retiring the Petrol versions soon, but Epic is the drive each and every day I drive my QV! 😊
2 years into giulia quadrifoglio ownership. The car hasn't missed a beat. My 3 previous M3s all had issues.
"screen size" the heck, you don´t need a chinese tv-screen smack in on the dash. This is perfect.
It’s all about the driving. And they are reliable! I love mine to death! I have over 92k miles on mine 💪🏼
Beautiful car! Excellent review and presenter.
I thoroughly researched the reliability prior to purchasing my 2020 Giulia over a year ago. The early cars had a few issues, low batteries and a couple electrical relays would put the car on a flat bed, those in the know didn't suffer this fate. Plastic fittings on coolant lines are an issue, typical with modern cars. Major components on this car are dead reliable, no subframe cracks, cylinder bore, bearing , transmission issues one sees with some other brands I won't mention. I do all my own maintenance, have the needed software and sgw bypass to reset parameters, so I have hands on experience with maintaining this car, no ridiculous engineering complexity, thus far everything has been straightforward, no more difficulty than my Toyota or couple of Fords. Parts are not as readily available as other cars, also a bit expensive, still, not bad. Finally, for the few issues they have, more reliable upgrades are available from Alfa specialists. Love my Giulia, the driving experience is exceptional!
I wish the screen was smaller and I wish it had analog gauges in front of you, not a screen. But still, it is nowhere near as bad as BMW's giant cheap Samsung TV in your face idea. In general, it is better looking on most angles than a BMW.
Wonky reliability? Have you seen Audi and Bmw’s stats? Are you having a fucking laugh mate? He even got the hp wrong, its 520hp

Hold on...reliability? Whats the data show for these models? I would suggest that they have better reliability vs bmw, merc, vw and other cars.
You’d be wrong. In the UK we’d get our data from JD Power Reliability Survey that gets its data from manufacturers published warranty claims data. The Alfa shown here is the second most unreliable executive car 2023 in the uk. Alfa has NEVER had a great reputation for reliability, ever. So I’d suggest you research the data and get your facts correct before stating ‘I’d suggest’ like you’re an authority.
FYI

@@chriswright4252 the same survey says the stelvio, which is mechanically the same, is one of the most reliable suvs so i wouldn't trust that as a benchmark
on july 3 I'm buying one with red color the dream finally come true
It's not QuadrOfoglio...it's Quadrifoglio!....Quadro is a picture frame in Italian, Quadrifoglio is a four leaf clover 🍀.
You keep repeating reliability over and over again and I'd like to ask the heck are you talking about. Wish you'd read actual reports and stats on that car. Small screen... well, it kind of makes it feel like a car as opposed to a computer game.
cant wait to buy these used for a great price!
Reliable or not this car is amazing. But not less reliable than germans including panamera
Forza Alfa Romeo 💯🇮🇹💪💓🍀
I owned an Alfa Giulietta a few years ago and never had any issues with it. Alfa seem to be permanently blighted by their 70/80s reputation.
Screens, screens, screens? Who needs that crap? The engine and performance and handling are the main course, not some damn screen! We need less cars that mimic cell phones. This car is awesome. F the screen size and capability.
Well given that you are standing in front of a Quadrofoglio. A G70 is not in any way a competitor to the car you are introducing.
So you can’t be seriously comparing the Quadrifoglio to a G70. Last I checked even the turbo G70 was hardly quicker than a turbo 2.0 Giulia.
P. S. All quads have CF roofs. The option is painted or exposed.
this individual can at most drive a pick-up
Lots of what you say does not make any sense. Incredible! 😊
This review comes off as overly promotional and excessively enthusiastic.
Man this is a 4 door ferrari…I believe he’s excessively pessimistic
Honestly when I got the car I thought the visibility was excellent specially on the one over my left shoulder
