      when I truly enjoy the engineering and performance of cars it really shows. It is so rewarding to see and hear so many people around the world who watch these videos and buy the cars as a result of me sharing my passion and experience. Alfa Romeo dealers all over the world play my videos in their showrooms and service centers and that's just cool.

      Auto Fanatic you are truly a car enthusiast. Alfa Romeo needs people like you who really understand the value of a top notch chassis or engine over stupid, close to useless electronic gadgets like Germans have to make their cars attractive and technological, but actually to hide a poor mechanical design. Real problem is that most customers don’t see this. So your contribution is absolutely important to spread around the right words on this great brand. BTW I’m driving my second Stelvio Diesel and I’m absolutely happy!

    I agree completely with your assessment. Unfortunately it's been a hard sell to the American public, who despite our blathering about sport, isn't really into performance cars. They want attention and bragging rights, actually driving on a curvy road scares them.. Alfa is still too unknown to appeal. I've had a Stelvio for 18 months. Love the car, no problems at all. I'm in the market for a QF, but won't buy new at this time. They are great cars. Thanks for the vid.

This is just the video I have been searching for. I have owned four audi s4s all manual and modded. . I am terrified of being bored with an auto trans but you did a great job of communicating the driving experience of the stelvio quad. I am much closer to pulling the trigger after watching your video. Thanks

    Man, you are the only american car guy I follow on youtube. You said it all here :"I dont care about lighters, usb ports, etc" and that what many guys are looking for to pick on cars, especially if they are not german cars. Who wants a radio if you own a Quadrifoglio? You are down to earth and you talk about whats important in a car not about gadgets and nonsense.
    Like that Doug de Mouro... I cant stand that guy. Many car "reviewers" in the world know nothing about cars. If its not german....they just trash talk. Its all about the brand. Germans is just branding and nothing else. Loads of issues with german cars but people feel embarassed to mention that. Lol
    Try get your hand on an Abarth 595 and do what you do that is very honest reviews.
    By the way, whats your name?

      @@autofanaticcars Hi AF - I'm trading in my Alfa 2017 4C and 2019 Stelvio Ti Sport for the new Stelvio Quad today. But I've actually been a bit down thinking about not having the 4C. Have you driven both and do you think I'll get the same satisfaction from the Quad? I haven't seen any videos from you on the 4C. Given the existing times and my limited space for storage (only 2 car garage) I feel like the Stelvio QV will be a great fit. I've already owned a Giulia and loved it, but just not enough room. I've had zero issues with all 3 of the cars to this point. Appreciate your feedback.

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  4 роки тому

      My friend has the 4C and i have driven it many times, the car for me in NYC is terrible to drive and very unstable and i personally dislike the paddle shifter gearbox and how quick you hit the RPM limiter. I wish the 4C had a NA engine with high reving with manual gearbox. Every time I drive it fast and hit the smallest bump i feel the car is going to hit the guard rail or a tree on the parkway and i just dislike cars that make me nervous driving. I have heard there is a company in Europe who sells a kit to revise the entire suspension to make it more stable i am trying to convince my friend to do it. We just did the ECU tune on his 4C and some other carbon parts. I will be showing it again soon on the channel. The Stelvio QV is awesome but if you get the itch for another 2 seater one day look into the Fiat Abarth Spyder there lots of fun with some mods i worked on one months back and posted videos on my channel here so check those out. Enjoy the Stelvio.

    15:47 'Well under a hundred grand' ... You lucky people.... ;-)) I had to pay over € 135.000,- for my Stelvio Q in the Netherlands. By the way .... driving constant on normal roads in R -mode is quite dangerous.... all the safety features are switched off then.... i've got a switch with which I can open the two valves in every mode (D,N, and A) for the 'R' sound..... The MB GLE and BMW X5M are bigger SUV's. Compare the Stelvio Q with the MB GLC 63 S and BMW X3M. The Stelvio Q beats all 4 of them by the way ... ;-))

    I don't believe the chassis are the same (unless you mean the actual body structure). I've been under my SQ and the entire rear suspension is aluminum whereas the 4cyl models have some steel components in the assembly. Obviously springs and dampers are all different as would be bushings.

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  Рік тому +1

      the 2.0 models use a steel rear subframe and aluminum front subframe and the QV uses an aluminum front and rear subframe. QV has adaptive shock and of course different springs, brakes and wheels and tires but the platforms are identical overall.

    So based on where Alfa/Fiat are going etc, would buying this hold its market value even with usage ?

      Unfortunately i do not ever see these new Alfa, Maseratis or even Jaguar and Bentley holding their values in the long run. these brands i mentioned seem to have the highest depreciation on the Euro segment for well over 10 years.

      that's like 100+k miles in a smoother part of the world like AZ or Florida. NYC destroys cars quickly.

      today we parked our Stelvio next to the GLE and new Infinity SUV and the Stelvio was pretty much the same size as the Merc and larger than the Infiniti QX50 i think its just the right size for this type of vehicle anything larger will be heavy and nowhere near as this much fun to drive.

    Other than that very good video. It is very interesting how people react to Alfa Romeo, but when you drive an Alfa for so many years this is simply the only way the car should drive and perform, everything that does not offer this kind of involvement simply does not count as a serious car.

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  5 років тому +4

      if you think any new Mercedes is more reliable you obviously have never spent time in any local MB service center versus an Alfa center, its like night and day with hundreds of cars in any MB or BMW center at all days of the week where as 1/3 in an Alfa center. the German cars reliability ended a long time ago as they are now competing in a much tougher market these days

      Auto Fanatic say that to my current E63 AMG with it brutal 4.0 liter V8 biturbo. I have 56k miles and car drives like brand new. My previous E55 AMG was totaled with 258k miles. I don’t know where you get your info that Mercedes isn’t reliable. Will be trading my sedan for the GLC63s! My E63 does the quarter mile in 10.7 seconds with Renntech tune. Without the tune 11.3 seconds. No Alfa can touch that. The GLC63s dispatch the Alfa in every youtube video.

      go visit MB NYC service center or any in the NY Tri State, they have so many cars at MB NYC they work 24hr service shifts around the clock , i lemoned my E63 it was that bad. every brand goes through there own issues but the stigma of everyone thinking Alfa Romeo today is like the 1980s and 90s is so wrong.
