That scene at 1:50 from the rear windshield as the car rockets to 140 mph with the planes fading is just surreal not to mention the rocking helmet in "bumpy" suspension mode. Superb audio quality that captures the exhaust note, pops, bangs and farts in race mode. Great narration accompanied by a competent voice. Excellent visuals. Thank you for this well thought out video. You did your homework on the car and your passion exudes itself throughout the entire clip. Official 0-60 from Alfa Romeo is 3.8 sec. Car and Driver managed 3.6 sec. It's all about traction. Was this car equipped with the Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires? That's the secret sauce that allowed the car to lap the Nurburgring in a record 7:32, earning it as the fastest sedan around the the famed racetrack back in 2016. Reliability issues with the Giulia is a myth. Issues noted on press cars were pre-production models rushed out before all the glitches were sorted out. I've got zero issues with the 2018 Giulia Quadrofoglio. This car is a riot to pilot.
There are a lot of tuning/automotive review channels but damn, the editing, cinematography, and content is top notch. Going to suggest to friends because you should have 600K subs, not 63K. Probably the most underrated car channel on UA-cam!
Brian Kiro I hear you. I've been fortunate enough to own a couple of M3s with manuals. Can't deny that autos and dual clutches are better in every objective way today. I'm hoping Ito eventually get back into a manual car with hydraulic steering.
This is the most desired car for me ever. It just looks amazing sounds cool and all around seems perfect to me. I dont care about the reliability but I also cant afford one.
After watching your video, I was directed to other similar videos by UA-cam. There is no comparison. This one is way better than a lot of other videos out there. Keep up with the good work. You will get there.
Like this mixture of talking and cinematics. Feels more natural and engaging than when it's just the Stig completely solo. Don't take it the wrong way, it was cool, but it felt like a music video with the Stig and a Porsche.
Excellent review of this excellent sports sedan! Nothing comes close to the 'soul' and passion of Alfa Romeo. Their best car in decades, the US market is fortunate to have it. People just don't know what it is, because FCA has done a very poor job marketing their Alfa Romeo brand. I would sure like to see more on TV and elsewhere, promoting this brand. (I own the 2.0 Veloce)
Hope to see a full in depth review next week. I wasn't a fan when I saw pictures of the car but after seeing one in person, it was almost love at first sight. The choice would be hard between this one and the AMG. It just stands out from the crowd. Great video again Dan.
Thanks Francois. It’s not a very photogenic car but it does look much better in person. Same with the Stelvio QV which we were thinking about for a family SUV. It’s definitely a driver’s car, not many creature comforts like you would find in an AMG/RS/M car. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to do a full review with this one. Hope all is well over there.
@@DanWangFilms can't say I have seen the Stelvio in person but judging from the Giulia, I believe you when you say it looks good. Too bad you didn't get a chance for an in depth review, hopefully that'll come eventually. Things here are what is expected considering the situation, I hope all is well in your neck of the woods and the whole family is healthy.
I really looked at getting one of these used, but saw that most were traded in after 2 years and after looking at their service history I said no thanks. Broke my heart because this car when it’s not broken is amazing.
I have one of the first batch of Alfa Quadrifoglios imported to North America. In 3 years and 15k miles of ownership the only issue I have had was a faulty fuel pump replaced in the first 6 months under warranty. Otherwise the car has been flawless. With resale value flagging, great deals can be found. I would not hesitate to buy another one.
The newer generation of cars usually are more reliable as standards of manufacturing has increased dramatically across the board during the past decade. This is all down to increase in manufacturing tech and computer simulations. Material resilience and over all quality is there. The only thing to worry about is electronics
Oh yeah.. I also heard that Ferrari is no longer working with Alfa, so who really knows how (&IF) that second gen really will be.. Either way, they have an amazing blueprint to build on. 🍀 ❤ 🍀
Back seats are good. No issues. The main issue is the fact that the timing chain in back by the firewall. I’m sure they did that for weight balance, but it will be a pain if there are any issues.
The only real problem remains - reliability. And that’s a huge problem. It’s not gonna be fun if you are constantly battling with that . Seen too many raving reviews from channels that went back and said they no longer recommend this car the way the did initially.
This is a very underrated car, and it handles so well. Let’s see it! Resident race car driver eh? I see planes. Thanks for that. Love aviation! Nice handwriting from the driver That’s a nice sound honestly. I think it could be a bit more clear as it seems rather choppy, but it’s still a good sound! Wow this guy got an airstrip for this run. Holy shit Nice cornering at the end! I think the Guilia is one of the best cars for the price in the commonly-expensive Italian market. The design is simple yet beautiful. Great drivers car for sure. I see the poster again lol. Very nice This was a short one but sweet. Also I’m sending you a screenshot of this Alfa Romeo ad I just got while commenting haha. Can’t wait to see the review on this one. Also, did I get a hint of a C63? 🤔🤔🤔
Yeah, it’s a great car man. I think it’s more emotional than the M3 and RS5. So that’s a local airport that was kind enough to let us do some filming. Fingers crossed, we’ll have more of these kind of videos because I rather do my runs in a wide controlled runway. The Giulia QV is a great car, and now that they are dropping in price on the used market, it’ll be a steal as long as you still have warranty. I feel like M3/4’s are more common simply because of how well they lease out. Hah, it would be a nice hint, but I have another AMG in mind before I get to the C63.
Dan Wang amen amen. It’s dope how you got a fucking airport to let you do runs lmao. That’s so cool tbh. Hope it didn’t cost too much And ah a different amg ok. Well youve already done the C43. Why not try the middle man? E53 coupe? I like 6, single turbo hybrid motor for the boost. It’s very unique compared to the more basic C43
Michael....for some reason Alfa allowed for a non prepped (software updates) to get out. I custom ordered my 2017 Giulia Quad early on (early adapter, by May 2017 it arrived)...it has not only been bullet proof, but unbelievably fun and ultimately and more importantly to me...UNIQUE !!! I don't see myself coming and going like every M3 / M4 driver does and then you factor in the POSER "M" cars that BMW creates by throwing "M" trim packages on everything they make to dilute the badge...finally throw in BMW's notorious unreliability issues and I'll take my Quad every day of the week and twice on Sunday !! FORZA ALFA BABY !!! THE KING IS BACK !!!!
@@dinopappous6639 thank you for the detailed reply Dino. That's good to hear, about the reliability. They are beautiful cars. I hope to own one some day if the reliability improves as a whole. In the meantime, I'm loving my S4! And yes, way to many M packages out there. I saw one on a little X3 the other day. Ugh.
@@michaelmohan6955 ... If you think reliability is an issue you're not reading my comment... I also have a 2018 Stelvio Ti sport... PERFECT 👍.... I've owned a few Audis....okay cars but very hard to get past the chassis that's setup for front wheel drive... Electronics were always an issue as well as incessant oil leaks....

@@dinopappous6639 I read the comment and understand yours is dependable. I've just seen many others including car and driver that say otherwise. Audi's definitely have their fair share of issues. I'm on my 4th. Just put 14k into mine in the last 6 months...still, the heart wants what the heart wants! They are much better than they used to be though. Agree on BMW...not a fan but to each their own.
@@michaelmohan6955 Like any other car and any other car issue, the problem ones get all the attention....Very few people trumpet their cars when they don't have problems...rather they bitch and moan when a problem arises....My point is to provide some balance from a completely satisfied owner of 2 modern Alfas and to try to dispell the cliche reliability BS that promulgates comment boards such as these....
Many years ago, I used to be a big proponent of ¼ Black Pro Mist, but 95% of my stuff nowadays (including this video) is shot with Ultra Con ½. The halation is less pronounced but feels more organic in my opinion.
Can you take a look at Japan’s Super Sedan Sleeper with a NA V8 and only 5,118 brought to America and less than that still alive to this day... it is a Lexus but I would love to see your thoughts on it! 2008 - 2014 Lexus ISF which is extremely underrated for what it is even Matt Farrah loves it!
Will do! I just got a ride in an ISF the other day. It had some mileage in it but I can see why people love it so much, especially for the time when it came out.
Exactly!!! I have a '12 ISF, FBO (exhaust, headers, intake) and have run 140 mph 1/2 mile....which is only 2 mph off of this Julia....all motor. Everytime it leaves the garage I get compliments on the looks and sounds....hands down the best overall performance sedan! Also, a PROBLEM FREE last 5 years with it as well....that's the best part 😉
Track Day Yeah it’s hard to find one with low mileage but they do exist! But those high mileage ones still pack a punch and cost a pretty penny too haha! Thanks for the reply and I can’t wait to see a future video on the ISF especially since I enjoy your content a lot.
0-60 in 4.8 to 5.0secs? That’s terrible for an Italian sporty 505 HP car. For $80k to $85K you are much better off with the 2020 C6S AMG in regards to performance, reliability and technology all day long. However, this car has something pretty cool..like the guy says it’s a driver car. I’ll still get the C63S though.
@@kinjat561 on paper and in numbers it probably will. The way it makes u feel and keep putting a smile on your face every time again while pushing a little harder, that is going to be the hardest part. I don't say it won't be better (will have to improve a lot compared to the current one tho) but shouting out it's going to be better no matter what is a bit premature. Let it prove itself wheit arrives.
I bought the Carbon Ceramic brakes and deperately wanted the Sparco seats but they had limited adjustments , not heated and for me they weren't as comfortable....but damn they are BEAUTIFUL !!!!!
@@fatgoose8983 that's my opinion to. Had a lot of doubts about the sparco's but when I could drive a giulia with the sparco's my doubts where gone in a heartbeat. They support your back perfectly. They just feel like they are made specially for you. Did get them wrap with ppf because the kids are in there child seat's with there feet sticking forward. Now I don't have to think about that anymore.
This is a sport sedan in the true sense of the term. No sunroof....because the roof is carbon fibre. This lowers the centre of gravity for improved handling.
@@joevanvreede9898 true but like I mentioned ; the competition offers a sunroof as a option , give buyers a option . I always hear the same reason lower center of gravity, weight saving blah blah blah lol. Most people aren't buying these cars to track them .
@@rahxe80 I guess this is what sets this car apart from the competition. I have owned about 20 sports cars over the last 15 years. All have been 2 door coupes. Mostly Porsches, mostly mid-engined including the GT4, Audi R8's, Jaguar F-type SVR etc. I bought the QV as a 2nd family car/daily driver after quite a bit of research. I am truly astounded at how incredible it is. I think what they have done is create a beautiful sports car that handles like a sports coupe, with not compromises. Everything in this car is there for a reason. Every vent, curve, carbon fibre component is part of the design because it has a specific function. In that way, it is very much like Porsche.
Quite impressive for their first real attempt. You should stack it up against a C63S AMG in a race. Similar power and weight. The Alfa outclasses the M3/4 by miles in power department.
The car truly is Alfa heritage except for 1 thing ! No manual !!! Ferrari manuals are sort after more than its equivalent automatic, heck even the gt3 Porsche in manual is sort more than its automatic. A proper short throw manual would really make this an emotional experience . Is getting to 60 1 second quicker in a pdk or equivalent that more appealing ? Nope IMO
Not sure nobody buys this. Where a live there 'unfortunately' are about 4 in a 10 mile radius and approximately the same number of stelvios. Can't say it's many but it's not they didn't sold them.
If I was in the market for a sports sedan that cost over 60k this would be it. However my daily is 30k and I am looking at a C8 Z06 if I want to wait or a Viper at that price.
in the US you race on straight lines or ovales, how the hell are you able to judge a car's real handling or performance? I don't get it. Here in EU when we want to test or race, we go to the Nürnburg Ring 😎, just saying...by the way, I own a AR Q 😉
@@DDd-hr6mz u are partially correct. The other reason is that the Manual version Gulia could not pass American crash safety ratings, the Dummy's foot kept getting chopped off by the clutch pedal (if i remember correctly) during the test. I'm doing my part, i own a manual currently and have a deposit down for the M2CS manual. NO COMPLAINTS HERE :) cheers
OMG....0:18 seconds into this and this guy's drinking the BMW Kool Aid....If he had any sense of history he would know that it was Alfa Romeo that INVENTED THE SPORTS SEDAN.....BMW invented the maintenance nightmare Sports Sedan.... M 3 Sub frame cracks M 5 Rod bearing failures FORZA ALFA BABY !!!! THE KING IS BACK !!!!
@@jennamcintyre9397 his tone at the beginning was very cliche...if you have ever driven the Quadrifoglio... and I own one.... you would know that it's way better than any BMW
explain the Forza Alfa statement. I sede this all the time from alfa lovers but what does it mean, I need context. Oh and I own a 2019 Giulia Quadrifoglio. I wanted one since they were first released.
Love Giulia 🍀!! It is an Amazing Car!! C63 Amg has a very good sound but in a circuit it is much worst of Giulia 🍀 and M3 and little bit better than RS5. Giulia if You want to drive really is the Top if You want the infotainment ok .. go to Tesla.
No, no, no. You can't make that claim. I haven't seen a stock M3 or M4 tested on your channel yet. Go ahead and get one on the Fast List, then you can confidently say it's an M3 killer.
Professional driver down a straight? Lol ... Try racetrack, or at least a canyon or mountain pass to judge a car ... or else, drive a harvester in the fields ..

Ervin Qarri owned 2 and it has nothing on the Giulia Quad. I know as I’ve driven my mates Giulia Quad. The Alfa is without doubt the best 4 door on the planet. Suck it up
if it were the real king then back in 2016 when the Giulia was released why did it take the crown. If it were the real King you wouldn't have had to make this statement.
This is definitely a closed course right?

Track Day Yeah it’s hard to find one with low mileage but they do exist! But those high mileage ones still pack a punch and cost a pretty penny too haha! Thanks for the reply and I can’t wait to see a future video on the ISF especially since I enjoy your content a lot.
0:12 smoke alarm battery
0-60 in 4.8 to 5.0secs? That’s terrible for an Italian sporty 505 HP car. For $80k to $85K you are much better off with the 2020 C6S AMG in regards to performance, reliability and technology all day long. However, this car has something pretty cool..like the guy says it’s a driver car. I’ll still get the C63S though.
Beautiful dan well done
Couldn’t have done it without you. 👊
@@DanWangFilms more to come and more cars .......im posting on alfa forum
@@larsinteriors9348 Awesome, thanks for sharing! Hopefully we’ll catch up soon.
Giulia > Ghibli
DasaniZero of course the Giulia is better than a 300C
That is ridiculous
Best
almost JIZZED in my pants there. I love alfas
In my opinion, way better than the M3. Its less synthetic and more emotional.
i personally like the upcoming G80 M3, its gonna be a winner over this Julia
@@kinjat561 on paper and in numbers it probably will. The way it makes u feel and keep putting a smile on your face every time again while pushing a little harder, that is going to be the hardest part. I don't say it won't be better (will have to improve a lot compared to the current one tho) but shouting out it's going to be better no matter what is a bit premature. Let it prove itself wheit arrives.
Rear seat room better with carbon seats, trust me I have it on mine
I bought the Carbon Ceramic brakes and deperately wanted the Sparco seats but they had limited adjustments , not heated and for me they weren't as comfortable....but damn they are BEAUTIFUL !!!!!
@@dinopappous6639 I agree not as comfortable, but definitely tie the interior together. Congrats on the carbon brakes
@@SlumRacing I still regret not ordering them....
I have the carbon fiber seats.. A work of art AND more comfortable than the regular seats.. I'd rather freeze my buttocks.
@@fatgoose8983 that's my opinion to. Had a lot of doubts about the sparco's but when I could drive a giulia with the sparco's my doubts where gone in a heartbeat. They support your back perfectly. They just feel like they are made specially for you. Did get them wrap with ppf because the kids are in there child seat's with there feet sticking forward. Now I don't have to think about that anymore.
Um put the list up in this video wtf
Personally i would take the QV over an M3 in a hart beat if a sedan was on the cards
Only thing I don't like about this car ; is no sunroof option . All the competition offers one as a option .
This is a sport sedan in the true sense of the term. No sunroof....because the roof is carbon fibre. This lowers the centre of gravity for improved handling.
@@joevanvreede9898 true but like I mentioned ; the competition offers a sunroof as a option , give buyers a option . I always hear the same reason lower center of gravity, weight saving blah blah blah lol. Most people aren't buying these cars to track them .
@@rahxe80 I guess this is what sets this car apart from the competition. I have owned about 20 sports cars over the last 15 years. All have been 2 door coupes. Mostly Porsches, mostly mid-engined including the GT4, Audi R8's, Jaguar F-type SVR etc. I bought the QV as a 2nd family car/daily driver after quite a bit of research. I am truly astounded at how incredible it is. I think what they have done is create a beautiful sports car that handles like a sports coupe, with not compromises. Everything in this car is there for a reason. Every vent, curve, carbon fibre component is part of the design because it has a specific function. In that way, it is very much like Porsche.
@@joevanvreede9898 very nice ! I hope to have one in my garage one day .
Turbo lag what the hell mines has none
Quite impressive for their first real attempt. You should stack it up against a C63S AMG in a race. Similar power and weight. The Alfa outclasses the M3/4 by miles in power department.
Once again....not Alfa's "first attempt"....they invented the Sports Sedan......
The car truly is Alfa heritage except for 1 thing ! No manual !!! Ferrari manuals are sort after more than its equivalent automatic, heck even the gt3 Porsche in manual is sort more than its automatic. A proper short throw manual would really make this an emotional experience . Is getting to 60 1 second quicker in a pdk or equivalent that more appealing ? Nope IMO
Like I am watching a movie
Guilia is nice but S63 AMG all day for me to upgrade from my E350
S63 is a much more expensive car and in a different class.
@@paulj9821 Yep of course.
It's 5 years old and still worth 60k wtf
if this costs at least 73k USD then just imagine the GTA...... God... If everyone had voted for Andrew Yang xD... I can afford my Giulia GTA.
I want one....
Not sure nobody buys this. Where a live there 'unfortunately' are about 4 in a 10 mile radius and approximately the same number of stelvios. Can't say it's many but it's not they didn't sold them.
Isn't this AWD?
Nope just rear wheel drive however the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrofoglio is AWD resulting in a faster 0-60 of 3.6 with the same engine.
I feel sad y people don't buy the Alfa
If I was in the market for a sports sedan that cost over 60k this would be it. However my daily is 30k and I am looking at a C8 Z06 if I want to wait or a Viper at that price.
Go Alfa
in the US you race on straight lines or ovales, how the hell are you able to judge a car's real handling or performance? I don't get it. Here in EU when we want to test or race, we go to the Nürnburg Ring 😎, just saying...by the way, I own a AR Q 😉
I WON'T buy it because they DON'T offer a MANUAL version in USA. Otherwise take my money!
Everyone complains
No one buys.
That's why there's no manual.
@@DDd-hr6mz u are partially correct. The other reason is that the Manual version Gulia could not pass American crash safety ratings, the Dummy's foot kept getting chopped off by the clutch pedal (if i remember correctly) during the test.
I'm doing my part, i own a manual currently and have a deposit down for the M2CS manual. NO COMPLAINTS HERE :) cheers
OMG....0:18 seconds into this and this guy's drinking the BMW Kool Aid....If he had any sense of history he would know that it was Alfa Romeo that INVENTED THE SPORTS SEDAN.....BMW invented the maintenance nightmare Sports Sedan....

FORZA ALFA BABY !!!! THE KING IS BACK !!!!
@Dino Pappous Pretty sure he literally said the Alfa was better than BMW. SMH people wanna hear what they wanna hear. 🤦♀️
@@jennamcintyre9397 his tone at the beginning was very cliche...if you have ever driven the Quadrifoglio... and I own one.... you would know that it's way better than any BMW
explain the Forza Alfa statement. I sede this all the time from alfa lovers but what does it mean, I need context. Oh and I own a 2019 Giulia Quadrifoglio. I wanted one since they were first released.
@@paulj9821 ... Forza literally means force or power...... Used in this context Forza mean something like Powerful Alfa
Love Giulia 🍀!! It is an Amazing Car!! C63 Amg has a very good sound but in a circuit it is much worst of Giulia 🍀 and M3 and little bit better than RS5.
Giulia if You want to drive really is the Top if You want the infotainment ok .. go to Tesla.
Alfas are beautiful cars, but some say you need 2 of them just to fix the other one :/
its not worse than BMW, which is very unreliable according to JD power germany
Don't drink the GERMAN KOOL AID !!!

HELL YAYER - I JUST BOUGHT ONE! CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL TO SEE THE REVEAL 💪
Who cares these days? Toilet paper is what really matters.
Wtf?lol ☝
No, no, no. You can't make that claim. I haven't seen a stock M3 or M4 tested on your channel yet. Go ahead and get one on the Fast List, then you can confidently say it's an M3 killer.
no need for that, everyone knows this is m3 killer and new benchmark of this class
Professional driver down a straight? Lol ... Try racetrack, or at least a canyon or mountain pass to judge a car ... or else, drive a harvester in the fields ..

Giulia is best BMW is Shit
Genesis G70 3.3T ;D
We will see who the real king is when the new M3 will be released :)
The real King? Haha! What’s so exotic about driving a BMW? They are as common as Toyota’s!
@@PLGAZA Well you would never know cause you probably never owned one.
Ervin Qarri owned 2 and it has nothing on the Giulia Quad. I know as I’ve driven my mates Giulia Quad. The Alfa is without doubt the best 4 door on the planet.
Suck it up
Al Yeh and I drove my dads lamborghini huracan today. Keep driving your prius boy.
if it were the real king then back in 2016 when the Giulia was released why did it take the crown. If it were the real King you wouldn't have had to make this statement.
Overcooks the corner..loses his cool at 2:09. Not impressive
