Every time I see an Alfa in a US road I want to leap out of my car and hug it.
This car is so underrated, style inside and out is like a high end sports car. Italian leather and design is sweet. Comes with Brembo brakes just little things like that make this car unique and make you feel like you are driving a 80k sports car.
John Forte I agree with you, the Giulia is a real head turner. We have a Giulia now for 3 years.. best ever 🚘🚘🇮🇹🇮🇹🚗🚗
leon van den bogaert u have any big issues with it ?
Semko K zero issues none, best car ever, must say both are 2.2 diesels
leon van den bogaert so u must be in Europe then right if u have the diesel models , I have the 2.0 turbo engine
@@semkok7759 I love my TI Sport, but I highly recommend a battery tender.
Another hidden feature is when the headlights are in 'auto mode', then put them on full beam for two seconds, they automatically dip when they 'see' other car's headlights approaching, very useful
I’m 61 yrs and just bought a ‘19 Giulia with 40k miles and absolutely love it! My peers say maintenance will be so high I’ll regret it. I seriously doubt it!
one more cool thing. If you have the automatic gearbox with the optional flappy paddle, you can engage D by simply pulling on the + paddle when its in P. Really handy when you're lazy in the morning and cant be bothered to move your hand down to the shifter :D
And similarly, you can change the gear to P by pulling on both + and - paddles together.
@@hishmaj that
Function shifts to Neutral, not Park.
Thank you!
Also remote start under 40 degrees turns on heated front seats and steering wheel. My favorite feature!
my 2023 doesn't do that. Is there a setting that must be activated for it to work? TY
Thank you! I only knew about half of these; I didn't realize it had the rear fog lights. I have a 2011 Jaguar XJ with those and when I got that car years ago I had no idea what a "rear fog light" was. Believe me, it DOES make you MUCH easier to see for vehicles behind you in fog! Every time I drive my Giulia I giggle because it is so precise I feel like I can write my name with the front tires! LOVE this thing! Good job!
Great content / information on this car I just bought my 2018 Alfa Romeo guilia ti sport q4 absolutely love it !
I just got a great deal on a 2018 Giulia and this thing drives amazing! I am seriously impressed for something you can get for around 25K!
Totally under the radar value.
I have a red 2017 model, love it! so much power
How’s the reliability in?
Nice video man! Some neat little features. Nice car.
Great video!
Great video man! I pick up mine today!🤸♂️
Luca Ceccato How do you like it so far ?
Hi Mike,
It’s been absolutely perfect. I am so happy with it. No complaints.
Luca Ceccato Glad to hear it. I purchased mine in April and I feel the same way.
Picked up mine today, omg I’m in love
@@lucaceccato8029 is it expensive to maintain?
Great video. I have the 2019 Giulia TI Sport. 🎉 Better than the five things I hate about my Alfa video. 🎉😂. I learned a lot. A must watch video
Also if you have pads for changing gears by the steering wheel, when on N and want do Drive, pull right pad and you dont have to touch gearbox.
Awesome video, one day I may have one, hopefully :)
Great info thank you
Good video!
Good stuff thanks! Didn’t know I had rear fog lights.
Its is sweet that this car its on your northamerican market.
Greetings from Spain and remember, Alfa rules.
Big hug!
Most important of these points is the pedestrian detection imo.
I have the 2018 model with carplay and the triable sign, where can I find thr option to disable the seat moving backwards?
Wow, thanks! I did not know half these things and I have gone 70k km in my 2020. Love the car, will explore these auto shifting functions today :)
Great video! Thank you. I wish there were videos of the Q4 in snow. Would love to see how the Q4 all-wheel drive system works in snow & ice, especially compared with Audi’s Quattro. Anyone know?
I had a hard time finding videos on that too when I was looking to purchase mine. I can tell you from experience the Q4 (with the performance package so it has the LSD) with winter tires is phenomenal for Canadian winter driving and I highly recommend it. The traction control is very well implemented IMO too which makes the car just that much better for winter driving. I did find it bogs the car down a little too much in deep snow (over the bottom for the front bumper deep) when on the A or N mode but the D mode allows more slippage and doesn't reduce power as much so oddly enough it's the best mode to drive in when going though very deep snow. Any other questions let me know :)
There is an italian video About the differences between the x drive, q4 and the quattro.
No name fantastic information! Thank you so very much!
zVENOM SPEK awesome! Thank you!

Hello. Question there are two medium round circles in the front of the car. What is the function for this/ what is this for? Thanks 10:32
I have a 2018 model Ti Sport and I have a question. What does "pre-wired CarPlay" mean?
Every time I turn the car off and back on the A OFF boot goes off. I want it to always be off. how should i do it?
My 2017 Giulia has the yellow triangles and chime for blind spot monitoring, so some 2017's must have gotten that feature.
Can you still use the stick in Manuel to shift gears or do you have to use paddles
you can push the shifter fowards for downshifts, and pull it back for upshifts
You forgot 1 hidden feature! You can lock all the doors from the trunk and activate the alarm
@Null No, next to the trunk opening button on the outside, there's a second button to lock the car.
Thanks for the video. Do you know which models have the clover-like wheel rims? Or how much to switch out and get those?
Not sure if it's different in the states but here (England) the veloce Ti has the quadrifoglio 19 alloys your mentioning. You can buy them separately though. My veloce has them in matt black.
Look for the words Ti Sport in the US.
my base 2019 with sports exterior has those as well.
We just got the 2018 veloce 280 hp model 🙂
Great video! Another thing... By the american market is possible get on key a button for turn on the engine. Here in Europe you don't have that.
P.D.: I am excited because I will receive in a pair of days my Giulia Veloce Ti Q4 Benzin. Here in Germany it's a quite different to America (it has Quadrifoglio seats and Carbon fiber spoliers, front bumper, mirrors and interior).
Forgot to mention the parking break comes on automatically when you put the car in park.
Hey, I have a 2020 and what are you guys doing about the Front plates that have to be displayed?! I still have a temp plate and it's in the window..I was told that they will drill into my bumper and put the bracket in there?! SMH. I have seen ones that go where the front hitch is, just knocking out the plastic piece?! What have y'all done?! Thx!!!
Sorry this msg. might be too late. When I bought my 2016 Mustang the dealer asked me where I wanted the front plate. "In the trunk", I responded. Why ruin that beautiful nose with a license plate? The same thing applies for the Alfa. Leave it off and pay the ticket (if you get one). Believe me, the cops have a lot more important things to do than to look for your front plate.
@@paulgronback6014 true had my 2017 giula for 4 months in cali no front plate and pass cops all the time no problems at all
I use 3M double sided tape. It’s never come off.
Hi, I just bought 2019 Stelvio with HK Sound System. I have noticed that subwoofer is very quiet. You literally have to open the hatch and feel it with your hand. Is all the HK sound systems are like this or mine is really broken?
Kindly advise.
On my 2017 Giulia Ti Q2 its loud as hell. Maybe it's your system
@@NFsHarveyp1 Loudness is not the issue. It's Subwoofer in the trunk that is quiet. Can't hear any bass coming. And upon checking I have to crank it up to 20 or more and then open the trunk and put on hand on it or ear to it just to feel that's there is little sound coming from it.
@@grumjpy oh yea that's normal. I guess they fixed the vibrations too well
@Mogambo you can adjust audio settings (base, mid, etc.) in the infotainment settings. Also if you just picked it up and it’s new, it may need time to burn in to become much more noticeable. The HK in this car is a good, but not great system so I wouldn’t expect anything like Porsche’s Burmeister (granted is an almost 6k option). Also not saying that you were expecting it to sound like the Burmeister, just that it doesn’t have class leading audio
The HK systems have a "break-in" period. I have a 2017 and it booms just fine. Well known issue; in time it will sound great!
So how has ownership been? I've been waiting for the 2020, but the new 2019s are being sold for deals. Howzit holding up? Long-trip worthy?
thanks for the 10 things I didn't know, Good looking-out.
longbowdt I’ve had a 2019 for about 6 months with 5000 miles on it and it’s been flawless so far
I have had my 2019 Giulia for 16 months. Perfect.
longbowdt get 2019 if you can make a good deal 🥰🥰🍀🍀 they try to get rid of the previous 2019 models our buy 2017 model low miles 50% price knock off from nett new price 2020 models
@@leonvandenbogaert9604 thank you for the advice. The Giulia is the one car that ticks most of my driver-buttons. :)
longbowdt you will not be disapointed, such a good ride everyday with big smile 🚘🚘🥊🥊🚗🚗🇮🇹🇮🇹
Its weird we have base model with 200HP in the region and noone ever mentions it. The only 2.0L engines that are reviewed are 280HP. Is the Base model that bad?
This is the base model, 280hp and 306 lb-ft is standard, best in class,
@@phillip4692 are you American? In Europe there is a 200hp version, I believe its called the 'sprint'
I have the base model and i put a race chip inside and now it's pretty much the same as the 280HP version. I think they put some electronic limits on it at the factory to lower that horse power.
its because its diesel dummy thats why its 200hp@@bencarmon4840
Great video thanks. Can apple car play be added to a 2017 model?
Not by dealer - only third party. The online forums have more details / knowledge about this but it is try at your own risk and not designed by Alfa / FCA. From my understanding you have to install a separate unit as the hardware does not support it
Do you know if there is an upgrade backup camera for the Gulia 2020?
William Buckley backup camera are mandatory on all cars since 2018 legally
@@semkok7759 everyone knows that. Do you know if there is a better quality one for this car?
@@semkok7759 not in Europe
Is it a free upgrade?
@@RunTheTape It's crazy that there is only one camera in the whole world for this car.
I have one. I love it...
I love my Giulia!!
I have one also. It's fun to drive
My 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia does not indicate when windshield wash needs refilling. Anyone?
my 2017 Veloce Q4 is the opposite: she always complains for refill :)
Tell me something That other cars don’t have other than that you are nice guy
Small correction; Ferrari 458 was released in 2010.
The wild thing is my friend killed a pedestrian in that car (they were crossing were they shouldn’t of cost when it was a storm outside and he could barely see) and that didn’t work. Wild asf tho
fwiw, the IBS system in Race is more subtle, rather than stronger. I suspect it's for more accuracy in braking rather than increased braking strength.
I prefer it because it's a lot LESS grippy below 5mph. Keeping it in Dynamic is a bit jerky for traffic usage.
Also, the triangle for the blind spot is actually the same triangle as the Quadrifoglio, which is an homage to their racing legacy, and Ugo's memory.
You are full of cr@p. The triangle is the internationally recognized signal for a HAZARD. Nothing to do with the Quadrifoglio, which originally was not inside a triangle!
are you reading from your phone hahaha your shadow looks hahahaha
3 more years to pay my car off lol, is it to early to be looking haha. lovely car
Dont worry about the brake by wire. The system if it senses a fault has a valve that opens up and allows a traditional hydraulic system to take place.
Though I still like my traditional systems, they use these in many different cars including the Toyota Prius!
Has your Alfa Romeo or other FCA products been reliable?😊
One of the reliable cars made in Europe. And the car is unbelievable.
Much has already been written about the reliability of Alfa romeo giulia. Same findings in England, USA .. Giulia achieved a very good result. Only Japanese vehicles are ahead of giulio.
I agree with Uros Cerinsek, the reliability issues with Alfa are a thing of the past. Here are some numbers to support the claim: www.autoexpress.co.uk/best-cars/driver-power/95238/best-cars-to-own-driver-power-2019-results
I own an Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce for over a year now and it had no problems whatsoever. It's a dream to drive!
I have had mine for a year now. Stellar performance with no issues.
I have mine for more than 2 years now and no issues ...
Oh Dear- Fog Lights are Fog Lights- they are for using in BAD fog as it helps the car be visible when visibility is so bad you can't see the car normally. They are NOT for Snow or rain as you said, but i see so many Americans use them that way- "Oh i want my rear lights to be brighter so i'll use the fog lights". The only thing that does is create glare and make actual brake lights much harder to see ! really annoying
About brakes. Actualy using both systems. electronic and classic, because legislative in EU not allow use only electronic system.. However brakes are really sick and works more than 100 percent.
Incorrect. The IBS replaces the mechanical system - one of
It’s main benefits being to reduce weight. Having both braking systems would be self defeating.
How did you get red on red on an Guilia. That is not an option I saw.
They have it. I am currently in California working when I bought mine..but I didn't care for it. I got the Red with the black out kit and black leather. I didn't want to look like a pimp! Lol
I love this final alpha Omega - but talk about going out with a bang. Just shows taste is a very special thing. Shane the neanderthals who could afford it didnt have the intelligence and taste to make it a best seller and save our wonderful AR
Don't use a rear fog lamp in rain.
Unless visibility is less than 100m, especially when there is a lot of spray from cars ahead.
Didn't know?? Who do you think you're addressing? Alfisti KNOW.
I have a guilia 2018 model (named M. speciale- 200 HP) Last November I lost breaks while driving. Alfa representatives in Israel said that the ABS "burned" and replaced it. I corresponded with Alfa Italy and their Israeli representatives trying to find out : why the car loses breaks if the ABS is out of order? what are the chances that it will happen again and I won't have breaks? is it endangouring me and third parties on the road? till now (since January 2019) they did not answer. would you have any idea about that? to be honest I don't feel confident while driving it any more.
@@natkhonachoo BRAKES not breaks
Wife and I just received our auto insurance bill. We have a 2001 Silverado , 2012Mini Cooper and are leasing a 2018 Alfa Gulia 4 cylinder. We have had the Alfa 2 years. Insurance premium went up $150 a year. We are both in our mid seventies, retired with perfect driving records, don't commute and are stuck at home in the pandemic. Wife called to find out why the increase? They told us the Alfa is proving to be more expensive to repair, therefore the increase. Thanks Alfa.

The lights at night are so bright, I’m flashed by other people’s high beams all night long. It’s too much. My high beams are not on…. Anyone who has a suggestion!
Wow! Wish I had this problem! My dims really suck! Soon I’ll make an attempt to adjust them accordingly! I’ve only had my 2019 one month. Regardless I love it and like being the odd guy in my friends circle of bmw and Benz owners!
I think the 458 was 2010.
My dna went out on my giulia ti
The ride height on USA models is awful, I know it's to do with your pedestrian impact safety tests, but it ruins the look of all the Euro cars in the states.
I'm leasing a 2019 Gulia that will 2 years in July, and has less than 20,00 miles. Yes it is an awesome car. In one year I will turn it in and will not be replacing it with another Gulia. Here is why. We took a trip to Carson Pass for a couple nights. It's four hours north of San Francisco at 8,000 feet. The day we left I attempted to open the trunk and and no luck the battery in dead and it won't open. The battery is in the trunk. Needless to say we are in the middle of nowhere, I know how to repairs cars. I taught auto shop for 12 years but I don't carry tools for this one. We eventually got it started and worried all the way home. I checked this out on the internet and this problem is not uncommon. I had an Acura TL type S that I bought new that never let down for the 12 years I owned it. If you buy an Alfa, stay in an urban area.
There are pick up points for the battery under the hood for emergency use.
@@f4jukblueplanet916 Phew! Rod's comment worried the crap out of me. I got mine coming in next week. Can't wait.

Why’s this one sitting so high
Nice video, but how about renaming the title to "10 things non-alfisti don't know about the Alfa Romeo Giulia". Or "10 things you PROBABLY didn't know about the Alfa Romeo Giulia".
Assuming that ALL your viewers don't know these 10 things gives you a bad "I know everything, you know nothing" image.
Jesus ....... I'm fallin' asleep over here....
Need someone like PewDiePie to hold your interest?
I know all those
your video quality is fcked up
1 thing you know about The Alfa Giulia:
if you're italian you can't afford it
11th thing you didn't know...they are not reliable!
A lot of sophisticated electronic that are full of glitches. Make sure you tow a Toyota so you wont be stranded when the computer goes whack. I think they run on Window's Vista
Lol I beg to differ. They are very reliable. I've had mine for a really long time. Sit down boii

TWO years 19,000 miles........Perfect, Great car!
2 years, 42,000 miles. not one problem.
60k mile no problem at all ✌️
