    Enough already! I've owned my Giulia for almost 3 yrs now and disagree with your driving assessment. This powertrain is NOT unrefined and works well as a daily driver. I find that I use those paddle shifters constantly to keep the engine in the rev band I like. If I had to do it over I'd buy it again. I drive on lousy Michigan roads and find the suspension plenty supple.

    The parts bin you are referring to would be the fact that The Hornet is designed and built by. Wait for it! Alfa Romeo and the Hornet gets its parts from Alfa not the other way around as your comment implies. The Giulia had all the things you mentioned first ( 2016). Except it doesn’t use U connect.

      Yes, this was one of several indications that he is an inept reviewer for this vehicle.

    Hello there! Very much disagree with everything you said except the styling . This car is not an appliance, it's a driver's car. It's not a luxury car, it's a sports sedan. The parts you referred to as dodge are mostly Alfa that trickled down to other fca//stelantis eventually.. Also you failed to mention the driving modes when you harped on unrefined transmission and engine which is NOT like the ones you find jin jeeps, similar but not the same. The lag is almost non existent in dynamic mode, probably you tried to accelerate in advanced efficiency, which is there for compliance reasons. My binnacle is not loose after 5 years and the one you show is obviously abused or broken by quasi journalist, weekend free loaders with no interest in reporting long term impressions, and more interested in getting quick review views on social media. Please do your research and stop misreporting facts just for sensationalism and quick buck/views.If you are considering this car for it's infotainment value, look into kia or Hyundai, very big screens ..,😢 Very poor review.

    I've had a Giulia for 2.5 years now, haven't found the infotainment too bad to use!

    As an owner of this vehicle, I have to join the chorus of voices in the comments blasting this review. It really seems he didnt do his homework on this one. The infotainment really isn't that bad, the auto start/stop can be turned off with the push of a button, and the engine is not shared with common Dodges. The Giulia was co-developed alongside Ferrari with the intention of making the best four door sports sedan in the world. Unless there's something wrong with his test car, unrefined isnt the word I would use to describe the driving experience. I spent the whole video thoroughly confouded by what he had to say about this excellent car.

    I am in Australia and have a 2023 Guilia Veloce. I drive in Sydney traffic and have NO problems with the gearbox, so dont understand your comment. Auto start stop can be turnex OFF, which i do.
    I get GREAT fuel consumption. The infotainment system is pretty easy to use, so dont know what your comment is about.
    Overall totally diagree with many of your comments.

    Your probably the only person in the entire world that finds the engine not refined😮. I drove it in Italy and found it pretty damn good. I totally disagree with your review.

    • @Dokuji
      @Dokuji Місяць тому +1

      Agreed. Some seriously questionable bias, or perhaps just poor taste it seems. My buddy just bought one and loves it. As have most reviews since the car launched in 2017.

    Kinda the automotive equivalent of dating someone strikingly beautiful who goes clubbing every night while you're trying to hold down a 9 to 5 job. Just different worlds. But she is certainly gorgeous.

    Velcro and foam tape on a model that has been out 5 years is really telling of Stellantis lack of commitment to continuous improvement.

    Great review. The Giulia still looks great after being around for around 6-7 years, but the platform is definitely showing it's age. What doesn't help is that before prices went crazy, one could pick up a 2017-2018 Giulia for about $20-$25k on the used market. The Quadrifoglio would be the best option to get with this car, but I've heard about how expensive the maintenance is on that car, so this would have to be the model to stick with. I imagine that getting an aftermarket tune will really fix the majority of issues that this motor and transmission face.

    Bad review! You haven’t even talked or used the DNA drive modes ! Probably that’s why you had that delay/ lag when you were trying to launch the car !

  • @Kryptic1046
    @Kryptic1046 Місяць тому +6

    Great review! I had long suspected that the Quadrifoglio was the only way to go with one of these, and this review kind of confirms that.

    • @rlsedition
      @rlsedition Місяць тому +4

      I disagree, as the Veloce offers most of what the QV has for $30k less.

    I went from a BMW 4-Series to a Giulia Veloce over a year ago - almost this exact spec. My experience has been totally opposite to nearly everything you said (other than handling). The Hornet parts come from this car - not the other way around - though it sounds like you don’t like them regardless. I feel like the interior quality is as good or better than my 4-Series, which was a pretty high spec. In the end, it’s your review, so I get it but I’d encourage anyone who likes the way it looks to drive it for themselves. I loved my BMW, but this is a better car and better value in almost every way. Just sharing my real world experience.

    That delay is awful when you pull into cross traffic and it activates START STOP feature . IMHO in 4 cyl turbo motors start stop dangerous

    Beautiful styling and that blue paint is stunning. That ZF transmission has been uncivilized since its introduction. The engine's throttle mapping is really off too... wonder if its trying to manage transmission shift shock. Excellent review as always, Sir! 😊
