Well unlike most manufacturers that don’t bother changing much because they’ll just come out with a completely redesigned new model. The new stelvios and giulias - 2022-2024 have had almost all problems improved upon and resolved, and the new ones are excellent vehicles that they actually fixed all common issues with that I can tell and greatly improved all the features and functionality of the vehicle . The very problematic ones were 2017-2018 and some 2019s had some issues.
Well the problems you are talking about are very picky and most people would never notice any of those things and there will be a difference between a vehicle that has been owned and taken care of since new vs buying one with 45k miles and who knows how it was driven or what repairs have been done to it before.
Any updates on your car? I am 57 looking to purchase a 2021 or onwards. I work from home, don't put a lot of miles on car. Selling a beautiful 2022 BMW x4 m40i (brooklyn grey paid off), to get some money back to put in bank, and was looking to downsize to this one. What do you think? Any comments are welcome 🙂
So after owning an AR (Brera 2.2 JTS, to be specific), no matter how I'd love to get my hands on Stelvio, my wife is totally against it, since the memories of Brera are all too fresh. I get it, on the conscious level you know a 202x car is not gonna be as bad as a 2009 car but you still remember how you spent at least a day or up to a week at a shop EVERY month (seriously) and spent more cash on repairs than on the actual car -- I don't think I will buy an AR unless I win a lottery. But dude I wish you good luck with Stelvio, and I hope it keeps being a joy and not a money pit.
Brera, beautiful car, but many of the 159 range were much abused. Alfa received a bad rep after the Alfasud debacle, crashing the S/H sales value, cheap cars, not maintained until someone like yourself picks up the pieces 😊
I own a 2008 BMW X5 E70 4.8i with 141,000 miles on it. It’s a nightmare. 3 rear differential replacements in 3 years. Water intrusion everywhere. Needs new catalytic converters. The list goes on. It’s a nightmare junk. I’m actually purchasing one of these vehicles a 2019. I will take this vehicle any day over a BMW.
Alfa Romeo had a long history of unreliability in early cars but the Giulia and Stelvio have very reliable drivetrain, even though the interior is not on par of BMW or Audi in terms of build quality
Im just gonna stick my neck out here and ask if anyone here has considered comparing a 2022 Mazda CX30 turbo to this Alfa Romeo Stelvio? Im extremely picky when it comes to performance, handling, reliability, appearence and infotainment systems. Im saying this from ownership experience......the Mazdas are certainly a force to be reckoned with. That being said.....Im on the fence about switching from Mazda to Alfa Romeo. Prove me wrong.
This Alfa actually has the best handling from anything in it's class or below, handles better than even the Porsche Macan. Haven't driven a Mazda but I'm sure no Mazda performs like this, it's pretty reliable too.
I got my 2020 stelvio q4 about 8 months ago with 29k. Now with 43k on it I already want to give rid of it. I dont really like the suspension, I know is more sport oriented but 20% of the time it drives nice and rides smooth and the other 80% rides like the car has more then 150k miles on it. And going more than 65mph I feel the steering wheel vibrating and shakes a bit. I install 2 different set of tires and valance the wheels and cant seen to fix it.
As usual again the word reliability I am bloody 60 years old your all like a stuck record.im sick of the word reliability. A were you get German cars are reliable it's a joke .by the way is this so called reveiw for alfa or german garbage
60k miles on my 2018. No issues. Other than a bad battery that made it throw a bunch of codes.
They're known for the ecu and related being voltage sensitive.
But I'm sure they're not alone with this problem.
The big question is would you buy another Alfa? That is the litmus test.
For me with a Giulia, I'd buy one again!
That says it all. It appears some one at Alfa Romeo had learnt a hard lesson that quality is a top priority.
I currently have a 2018 Stelvio that I am looking to trade as my warranty is just about up. I am definitely considering another one.

@@magicalwishlist6616Are we to assume you're the voice of experience, a mechanic or Alfa owner?
Good MN car? Handles snow and potholes well?

You sound like you could be a petrolhead (that's why you're watching videos about Alfa Romeo. But if you are one, why would you buy a diesel? 😲

Mazda will def last way longer when it comes to reliability. It looses in styling though
You read my mind. Never thought I would consider an Alfa. Was shopping for CX-30 and CX-5 (same year - 2021).
in the same boat currently. anyone made a decision?
Completely different cars, mazda is fun but its still a commuter car. Stelvio is a Sports car.

I am sure the Alfa is no worse than a German car. Audi and BMW have horrible reliability
Not the new ones and I'm sure you can't even afford a 2020+ one
