    .............................................................
    It’s time for an Alfa Romeo vs AMG drag race!
    On the face of it, you may think the Giulia Quadrifoglio has this in the bag. After all, with a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 pumping out 510hp & 600Nm, the stats seem to easily dwarf the 2-litre 4 cylinder power of the A45 S, which can put down 421hp & 500Nm of torque.
    However, there’s one key difference here… While the Alfa is rear-wheel drive, the AMG is all-wheel drive! However, that performance comes at a cost, with the A45 S actually weighing in heavier than the Alfa!
    So will the weight play against it? Or will the AWD power the AMG to victory? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

    I've got the Guilia Veloce 280bhp. It's absolutely fantastic. Downside is you can't turn off traction control but can still have a lot of fun with it. Also without doubt the best looking car on the road compared with the now-common German counterparts. Highly recommend the Veloce.

      Giulia is amazing car . I have mine first year of production so far 160k km after chiptuning from 2.2d 150km to 210 km I only changing oil every 7-8k and 50k for automatic gearbox. Only issues I had was with cracking screen ( I got brand new on warranty) and recently with opening mask ( cost around 130 euro part+ replacement ). I don’t have garage and I abusing this car a lot. One think I change oil from 0w30 to 5w30 and is significant improvement in engine noise and vibration ( from seven brands I tested liqui moly is working the best for this engine ). I have in past Audi/ Skoda/Opel/ Kia but Alfa is best so far and definitely most reliable from all car I have which is huge surprise for me. One thing though about parts such as brakes, wipers etc you should by only original don’t use replacement parts from other company than Alfa Romeo. You can buy them from company’s on internet for good price. Every parts from other company cost similar to original and were terrible. Brakes I changing every 35-40k and it cost me in new parts around 320 euro ( brake pads+ brake discs )

      Reliability is great I wouldn’t bother listening to the negativity from the usual rehashed old garbage we hear sometimes said about Alfa - we’ve owned them and now have a Giulia Veloce.
      We also have friends who have either a Stelvio or Giulia and have had no issues or minor. Like battery. That’s really been the only small issue. And is easily rectified. These friends , one of them put 100k+ on a Stelvio diesel and they had absolutely no issues - traded it in for a QV Stelvio. And they love it. As all the other owners do.

  • @JachuJustyDriver
    @JachuJustyDriver 2 роки тому +5

    Giulia is truly a miracle car, because Sergio Marchionne gathered best engineers and told them to design a RWD sedan in just 2 years. They did it by designing a performance model first, which is a Giulia Q, and then put the lower power engines in it and removing some reinforcements from the body (that is not sure though). So if you buy a basic 200hp Giulia, it's almost the same as the Giulia Q minus the engine.

    • @nicolopavan7512
      @nicolopavan7512 3 роки тому +21

      @Andy Raposo Rubio did you forget that the Giulia is a high performance sedan? Alfa Romeo is knowm worldwide for its performance and for the driving pleasure it conveys, like bmw. And besides being very fast, they are also very comfortable. You told me about long trips, and you can have a very comfortable long trip in a Giulia like in an A4, but the Alfa is better when you want to have a more emotional experience or when you drive in a track, bescause it is better designed. Then if you want the most comfortable car in the category, everyone knows it's Mercedes C-class, but it isn't as fast as the Alfa. Even the quality of the Italian's interior is also very high and in no way inferior to its rivals, so i honestly don't see what you have to criticize. Maybe you are just envious of what italians can do. Has the Giulia harder suspensions that audi A4? Yes, and this is a better thing, because driving dynamic is more important than comfort on rough roads. And, at last, i repeat that also the weight is important, because if it were not important, car manufacturers would not invest in light alloy frames and in carbon fiber body parts. Then if you want to understand it's ok, otherwise it's your problem

    Im about to buy a used 2.0 ti sport. I want the QV but there’s a big price gap between them. If I were to buy it brand new I would definitely buy the QV ($80K) cause I think $53K is too much for the 2.0l model. The used 2019 2.0 ti sport has 10K miles and it’s certified preowned so that gives you an additional 2 years warranty with $0 deductible. With the ti sport you get paddle shifters and this one happens to be a Q4 all wheel drive as well. All that for only $32K…IMO I think thats one of the best deals out there. You spend another $800 get a CAI and a JB4 tune you’ll be pushing somewhere around 325 HP and 360 tq
