Some things not mentioned; In “race” mode the cooling fans stay on full time, the turbos can go into a temporary overboost and traction control off and heavily rear drive biased. This machine can be drifted.. the engine will also shut down the right bank in “advanced efficiency “ mode when load is low. The whole platform was developed by Ferrari engineers and engine was as well..the steering ratio is 12:1 which is very quick and motor trend was able to get a 0-60 time of 3.3sec.
First, having a Ferrari engine of any cylinder size is racing 🏎️ material feeling. Second, the tight handing and braking is all Alpha Romero. Bravissimo! Sarah 🇮🇹
Finally…a vehicle painted in a NICE colour for a change. Not Wimpy White, not Been-There Black, not Soul-less Silver, not Give Me an Imagination Grey… I really like this shade of green!
The car gets a Penguin Score of 10. Sarah gets a Penguin Score of 11. As does the review, the tech info, the enthusiasm, the humour, the passion, the production value and, as ever, the all round entertainment. 👍👌
"A drunken ferret on a hardwood floor wearing rubber boots!" Sarah my dear! You have outdone yourself. The "exotic" manufacturers are smart to give you their cars to review. If they believe in their offering, they are going to get an honest review. Not to mention a highly entertaining one. I think the world is slowly but surely discovering our national treasure named Sarah!
In the last 60 years Alfa never put so much effort to get a car completely right. Complimenti, ragazzi! Great video as usual and thumbs up for pronuciation, you get it right!!!
Alfa Romeo have always had amazing engineering, with rear mounted transmissions and twin spark plugs per cylinder, always super cool engineering. Truly cars for car enthusiast . Think we all would love to have one of these. Love the review.
My first car was a 1974 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. I later found out from Wikipedia that the engine designer and body designer had both come over from Ferrari. I called it my Poor Man's Ferrari. DOHC engine, 4 wheel disc brakes, independent suspension, and well balanced. Very advanced tech for the early 70's.
Great review Sarah of an amazing car. The Julia Quadrifolio was to be my next car (not new) replacing a TVR Chimaera (new) and an old 911, after having had 7 Alfa's this was to be my final car. Sadly I had to give up driving due to health issues so now my petrolhead fix come vicariously via your road tests and builds. I would say keep it up Sarah but I know you work way too hard already. Work/life balance needed similar to that here in UK - love your channel.
Sarah, I am so happy that you like our Italian Alfa Romeo! Yes, it might be a bit behind in terms of technology and maybe a rear climate control could be at least an option but it’s a car that can deliver unlimited fun and plenty of smiles! I honestly wish you to buy one in the near future and would be amazing to see an Italian car on the channel
I think Alpha Romeo have really been creating some beautiful looking cars recently and to see them having power to match the looks is great. I really like this, and as always, a fabulous and fun review Sarah
Most technical review i've seen about this car! From the bottom of my heart, thank you! And if someone knows other channels making technical reviews like this, feel free to share them under here
I just love this machine. Thank you for your review and the detail that many other reviewers neglect. My score for the Stelvio is 100% it's exactly the kind of SUV I'd have the time of my life in.
The Alfa logo is embossed into the headrest not embroidered into the headrest. Sarah continues to do one of the most detailed and intelligent reviews on the net. Your knowledge about your subjects is always remarkable. Can’t imagine how much time you must spend prepping for these reviews. And you’re still as gorgeous as ever.
Great test on the Alfa, Sarah. I owned several Italian stallions in the 60-70's and back then they left all opposition in the dust, including the biggest. Apart from that they were the first onto the Australian market with 4 wheel discs and independent suspension. I had so much fun in my 20-30's until the kids came along. Then it was boring sedans with Child Safety seats. You are right with the car being great to drive...very addictive, especially the hills and curves. Thanks again for the memories. From Brisbane Australia
As I’m watching from Italy, I was looking forward to this! Well done Sarah, and I sure do feel the same as you: wish I could afford to buy one of these amazing Alfas! 👍🇮🇹
One of the greatest cars ever made. It's epic have mine with the racing springs and spacers and the valve "open" upgrade to let her sing. It's epic. Great review.
I am so glad you got do a preview on a Alfa Romeo. I have the 2.0 Giulia and it's just as balanced as the QV. I have had mine for 5 years and love it just as now as I did when I bought it. You did a fantastic job as you always do! I was so excited to see you like the Alfa so much!
I am so happy you are attracting Alfa Romeo! I’ve had old Alfas all my adult life, never a new one. You would love to drive a gtv6 some day. Thanks for all your hard work.
Your tongue in cheek humor is refreshing with serious automotive reviews and facts. Your crazy skills are fun to watch. When I was young you would be a perfect friend. I grew up in a salvage yard and body shop. I would’ve loved to hear your impressions of my ‘54 Dodge Royal with the factory Hemi. Let alone my ‘65 Mustang Convertible.
@15:19, the hill decline will make the car using lower gear, so the gearing with help the car maintain low speed without the need to use brake (and wearing it down). Super useful if you ever go to a mountainous area.
Is this your first perfect penguin score? I can see why. Between looks, engineering and performance, It's better than many other cars in the $90k range. Imagine what a tune would do! Outstanding review (one of your best ). In 5-6 years, this car is going to be financially obtainable. Hang onto your dream of owning one.

Lots of retorquing to fend off oil leaks, cleaning or replacing spark plugs, etc. Are they still that way or did they improve?
Also the complete secondary parking brake caliper is really nice, new vehicles often just have it incorporated and as someone who uses vehicles for 30 years I've often felt like having a "backup" so to speak is always smartest...
such a pretty car, and what a fantastic review! you are getting so good at this! with the way you articulate rather complex thoughts in a funny and illustrative ways, yeah that's talent.
And “taking it out and servicing it” is something I would expect a car like this to need, just a little too often! It is as exotic as a Ferrari, and in fact it is, to a large degree, a Ferrari! Wow!
Beautiful car! The hill descent mode is probably there for driving in the Alps or Pyrenees. I've seen luxury cars on crazy dangerous mountain roads over there.
It's an Alfa so I would always have doubts about reliability, but... That is a fabulous looking car, inside and out with a fantastic color. The traction and handling under what looked like pretty rainy conditions seemed amazing. Given how absurd all luxury car prices have become, the sticker on this doesn't seem that far out of wack from other vehicles with only 70% of the styling and performance. For those that can afford it, this could be a great "Red Barchetta" car -- something to buy and hold as a last relic of the ICE age as we hurtle towards a vastly different car world.
Do you know why you have doubts about Alfa Romeo reliability? Because you probably belong the vast majority of people that actually never had one but know they're unreliable because everybody says so ...or because of a cousin of a neighbor knows so. It has been very beneficial to the German car industry to keep that unreliable image - not so for the Italian car industry though. As a car enthusiast I've always admired the Italian ICE engineering, they've lots of patents and technology that every other brand also uses - maybe the most common example, being the 'common rail' on each and every Diesel engine. I've owned and been driving Italian cars all my life. They're quite expensive to own because of depreciation when you want to trade them, but unreliable? It's kind of the opposite.
@miks564 It could stem from hearing jokes on Car Talk for decades about Fiat standing for "Fix It Again Tony" or anecdotes about Ferraris and Lamborghinis being extremely expensive to maintain and having inconsistent quality from hand manufacturing. I take your point, though.
@@CumminsVoortman Yes they are, but only a few know about it. Reliability only owners know about it. They mostly suffer from the usual electronic errors every brand suffers (suppliers are the same for every car manufacturer). And about being well engineered, only car enthusiasts that read about it and dig into their mechanical engineering solutions like the reviewer here in this video.
@@stratfanstlthe brand might have a history of being unreliable but the Giulia and Stelvio are not any worse in terms of reliability vs. the competition. They've been around since 2016, plenty of data available that proofs this.
As a SAAB fan who understand why they failed, I really hope that 3D printing/rapid prototyping allow for more interesting vehicles like this to be created just to keep the spirit of automotive engineering alive. Cookie cutter cars have their purpose; a Corolla that gets 40mpg is amazing, but things like this existing and not bankrupting the parent company puts a smile on my face.
That's a beautiful vehicle and it sounds phenomenal! I really love the Alpha Romeo vehicles. I think that one could describe them as functional art. They are very good at what they do and they look gorgeous doing so.
I have a from new '21 Stelvio Ti Sport Q4 2.0. After 30+ years in Audi 'S' cars the Stelvio is by far the best I've driven. It's a driver's machine, not a 4 wheeled iPad. Alfa nailed these machines out of the gate. Excellent review btw.👍👍
A lot of people have spoken about how amazing an Alfa is that too a Quadrifoglio version. Few have backed up Alfa's with reliability. I do understand that Japanese car manufacturers like Toyota and Honda are known for their amazing reliability. However, after driving my Alfa Romeo Stelfio for more than 15000 miles (which was already driven for 32,000 miles), I can easily say that there are absolutely zero reliability issues. I would testify the opinion that only petrolheads and actual Alfa owners know the true reliability of an Alfa Romeo. A lot of mechanics on youtube defame Fiat and their brands but Alfa is different. The sheer pleasure of driving an Alfa is out of this world. Not to mention, there are absolutely no cars in this segment that are as beautifully designed as this Italian beast. I can easily say that my Alfa can run another 100K miles without a hitch. Cheers to all the petrol-heads !
Thank you for showing the engine in detail and the underside. No one does that!! I will no longer watch any other reviews, only yours. The view is not so bad either. Thanks for having nice nails. I love the details about the vehicle and its engine. Great video.
Carbon fiber drive shaft (its resin matrix to be more accurate) doesn't like heat, hence all the insulation along the exhaust piping. Also, IMO, Alfa Romeo makes some of the most beautiful cars out there. 😊
@@SarahnTuned I ment only, that the resin component isn't heat resistant. The fibers, on the other hand, are. Nothing more. Sorry if you took that remark personally. 🤷♂
Love your knowledge and passion you put into these reviews. But I also have to say how damn beautiful you are and that outfit is just outrageously stunning on you.
Early models had manual but the automatic is very smooth, it's now standard. Besides, you have these amazing aluminium pedals right behind the wheel. Missing out on those would be a shame.
Hey Sarah, absolutely gorgeous love the color and it is without a doubt one of the best sounding cars I’ve heard over UA-cam so I can only imagine in real life. Agree the underneath was super impressive aside from all that my favorite thing is the stop start button on the wheel. If I was designing a car, that’s where I would put it.🐧🐧🐧👍
As a mobile tyre fitter in the UK, I line up the centre caps with the tyre valve. Unless its a BMW wheel that has the M badge on it, then I line the centre cap up with it so they point the same way!
❤ I have the 2022 TI stelvio. It's fun even if it is only a 4 cylinder turbo. It handles like it is on rails, so much fun on twists and turns. Get one!
Daily driving one is amazing. I got a 2020 with 26k miles for $50,000. It is not as refined of a ride as a mercedes but it puts a huge smile on my face.
Sarah-n-Tunifolio. That sounds good and I love the green paint. The attention to detail is exactly what you like. That is why it is the perfect 10.0. Now to get you to a UA-cam millionaire and you can afford one.
Finally a Alfa review! My favorite car maker bar none. I have owned several and always want another. But all my old Alfas were easy to work on. This G Quad would probably need factory trained techs to do major work, and i wouldn't trust any shop here in Tucson to do the work. Phoenix would be the closest at 2.5 hours away. But it looks to be built well. So the next one i find in the beautiful Misano blue might find it's way home to the east side! Love your channel.
As Italian I'm really proud that Sarah reviews an Alfa Romeo 😊
I'm half Italian too.. and I have a 2018 Stelvio ... 2.0L and I love it... this is awesome to see Sarah in an Alfa!

@cjsnylons - agreed on her Beauty.
Great job as usual Sarah. Always entertaining.
I have never been an Alfa Romeo fan, but I do like this one. I think manual transmission wood be ideal. Great review Sarah!
Early models had manual but the automatic is very smooth, it's now standard. Besides, you have these amazing aluminium pedals right behind the wheel. Missing out on those would be a shame.
Sarah, you Love this car, it shows when stabbing it, with that special smile showing the joy. Thanks for sharing,
Hey Sarah, absolutely gorgeous love the color and it is without a doubt one of the best sounding cars I’ve heard over UA-cam so I can only imagine in real life. Agree the underneath was super impressive aside from all that my favorite thing is the stop start button on the wheel. If I was designing a car, that’s where I would put it.🐧🐧🐧👍
As a mobile tyre fitter in the UK, I line up the centre caps with the tyre valve. Unless its a BMW wheel that has the M badge on it, then I line the centre cap up with it so they point the same way!
Oh Sarah....
🏁
Another fine production by Lady Sarah!
Hooker Heels 👠! Lmao 🤣 😂 😆
I love that color of green .keep up the great work.
That has to be you car, seeing you drive this has to be one of the best yet. Keep them coming
Adding Link every time you said "link" is the subtle humor I love in Sarah's videos
❤ I have the 2022 TI stelvio. It's fun even if it is only a 4 cylinder turbo. It handles like it is on rails, so much fun on twists and turns. Get one!
15:51 Beans score flawless transition! 👍
Daily driving one is amazing. I got a 2020 with 26k miles for $50,000. It is not as refined of a ride as a mercedes but it puts a huge smile on my face.
Sarah-n-Tunifolio. That sounds good and I love the green paint. The attention to detail is exactly what you like. That is why it is the perfect 10.0. Now to get you to a UA-cam millionaire and you can afford one.
One of the best sound tests on your reviews!
Finally a Alfa review! My favorite car maker bar none. I have owned several and always want another. But all my old Alfas were easy to work on. This G Quad would probably need factory trained techs to do major work, and i wouldn't trust any shop here in Tucson to do the work. Phoenix would be the closest at 2.5 hours away. But it looks to be built well. So the next one i find in the beautiful Misano blue might find it's way home to the east side! Love your channel.
