Love my Stelvio - but there are some downfalls

This car is a show stopper in every sense. The exterior is so unique, and the interior (I have the red interior) is so fierce. To be honest, she drives like an absolute pearl. So smooth, can barely feel bumps in the road, and fun to drive ... especially when you change driving modes to dynamic. Boy does she move! Pro-tip on the driving modes: keep the Stelvio in "A" mode as much as possible to save on gas. The "N" and "D" modes suck up gas super quick. Lots of space especially in the front, I'd say medium seating space for backseat passengers, and tons of storage space in the trunk. Technology-wise, the 2019s do have much better systems including Apple Carplay, sensors on your mirrors and from what I can tell updated speaker systems. Some 2018s may not have those features pending when they were manufactured (mind does not). The one issue I have come across is with the check engine light. It is SUPER sensitive which can be annoying and alarming. Other than that, I have no complaints. Overall, its a luxury SUV for a very reasonable cost, which is hard to come by. Highly recommend.

Best car in mid size luxury SUB

Love everything about this car. Great value for money. Drives like a sports car. Head turning design and the handling is like a BMW sedan

Some quirks but overall I am pleased

I like that it is unique. Mercedes Benz and bmw seem to litter the roadways. I do just over 100 mile round trip commutes daily so far racked up over 30k miles with only minor issues as most first model year vehicles have.

Trade in value surprisingly low

The car is fast and handles great. If you have the sport seats, it is comfy. The interior, controls and options are horrible. The navigation system is useless. Things open or close, come on or go off at it's whim, not mine. It is far inferior to cars that sell for much less. The control knobs on toys are better material. A Tumble-Bug Beatle cracked the driver's side windshield at 63 MPH. A pebble hit the passenger side and put an 18 inch crack at 70 MPH. In 11 months, the car lost half it's value according to Blue Book... Buying this car was my biggest mistake in 63 years. Dissatisfied is an understatement.

Great driving SUV

This SUV is fun to drive. Looks great and feels good on the road. A great value. Lots of legroom and the full glass roof give it a great feel.

The best SUV after test driving other cars.

This car has excellent performance. It feels like a sports car. By far the best SUV. It has 19K miles and no reliability issues. Highly recommend.

Unreliable

Alfa Romeo Customer Care is extremely subpar. Continuous same issues with my Stelvio and they refuse to acknowledge the problem. I do not recommend any one purchase this Alfa Romeo product.
