Sexy Alfa Questionable Quality

The exterior design is exquisite, it's your type of car if you like to be special and stand out in a crowd. The interior design is simple and elegant, especially with red leather interior. However, some trim pieces might be flimsy, tho the aluminium paddle shifter has that genuine touch rather than cheap plastics other competitors have.

fell in love again

Well I did so far after 3 weeks of ownwership about 1300 miles. Enjoyed every mile of it. Drove it hard on Sebring raceway. More fun than with my Porsche GT 4. Owned about 7 Alfa's back in the seventies and eighties , left the make when they stopped producing rear wheel drive cars. When I saw the Quadrifoglio I fell in love again. Very happy camper and not afraid of reliability problems.

Sleekest car from wheel to wheel

I love Italian style, there is nothing like that in America. It's like a mini Ferrari just much more convenient

Enjoyed the ride

This is a driver's car. Although a sedan, the driver is a major part of the driving experience. The handling and steering are invigorating. For those looking for a sedan that is a joy to drive and performance to excite, this is worth a (long) test drive.

Everything you've heard and read about, and more.

The Giula Quadrifolglio impressed me in every way. Performance, styling, functionality - it did not disappoint. This is a driver's car that lives up to everything you've read about. The interior layout is race-inspired - every display / control is in the right place, no searching. The Quadrifolglio's acceleration and handling is impressive. The 505 hp powerplant does everything I asked of it, effortlessly. The handling is impressive, very tight even in the normal driving mode. The exterior styling - well, what can I say... it's a beautiful car that is distinctive without being over-the-top. I was sold on this car just 5 minutes into the test drive, and I bought it.

Amazing styling, performance, & reliable

Bought an Alfa Giulia TI about a month ago, and have been loving it ever since. Before buying, I drove all the others and my experience was that the styling, drivability, and performance beat Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, and Cadillac hands-down at similar price points (whether a $40K base Giulia, a $50K TI, or the $80K Quadrifoglio). Comfortable. Infotainment system takes a bit of getting used to, but nothing significant. Interior trim just a blip below the leaders, but that is just splitting hairs. No problems with reliability. Occasionally idles a bit low the first minute. That's it.

I LOVE my Giulia!

I am ecstatic with this car! I have owned VW (Golf R), Lexus (IS), BMW (330) and many other, but the Giulia is all around the best car I have owned. To start with, Italian design, interior and exterior, exudes sexiness. Equipped with the 19'' Sports Package and 5-Hole Dark Wheels, I cannot park this car anywhere without stares and questions. Yesterday a 15 year-old boy and his 75 year old grandfather were both walking around the car asking me questions as I stopped for a quick lunch. The day before, the owner of a McLaren 570S spent about 20 minutes talking to me....about MY CAR! The interior is comfortable, ergonomic and very intuitive. Handling is great - it is fun to drive and can either be a smooth and quiet highway cruiser or a lively and aggressive corner carver. I do wish it had a bit more power, but it is absolutely no slouch. My Golf R was faster but not nearly as comfortable or luxurious. There may be some moderate power upgrades in the near future... I rated it as a 5 for reliability because I haven't had any concerns or problems to date. I don't expect any, but it is fair to say that the car is new so there isn't a lot to go off of. Now to value - for what this car is providing I find the value to be exceptional. Dollar to feature, this beats all legitimate competition on the price front. The bottom line: Would I buy this again? In a heartbeat!

My Giulia Ti is awesome!

Having owned an A4 and 5 series BMW, I can honestly say this Giulia is amazing. The car drives like a dream - super quick, very responsive steering and a great exterior look. I am so happy I purchased this car and look forward to enjoying it for years to come.....

So well thought out!

This car performs beautifully and looks equally beautiful. I can't believe how low the price is for such a terrific all-aroundbpackage. I've never been so happy about a car purchase.

Out-performs anything in its class for less

I studied every fact available about the Giulia Ti before going for a test drive, and bought it immediately thereafter. I paid roughly $48,000 for a fairly loaded sport-oriented version with the Rosso Competizione Tri-Coat Red Paint, AWD, Ti Sport Package with 19" wheels, Drivers Assist, Nav w/upgraded Harmon Kardon 900 Watt sound system - and more. After driving competing products from BMW-3 Series, Mercedes C Class, Audi A4, Lexus IS - there simply isn't another car in this class with performance to match. Launch control with 280 ponies and 306 lb ft of torque and 0-60 in 5.1 seconds combined with amazing handling made this a no-brainer. Do yourself a favor and drive one before you buy anything else. If nothing else, you'll enjoy the admiration of bystanders who rave about how beautiful the car is. With the limited number on the road, it draws a lot of attention both on the road and in the parking lot. Proud owner with over 5,000 miles on it and no mechanical problems or squeaks or rattles. I'm a car guy through and through, and really pleased with my purchase of the Giulia Ti. The only thing better would be if I could afford the Quadrifoglio!
