Oh yes 👍🏼 by far best driver out there . Dash and infotainment needs be better but dealer service so so and resale poor. Acura RDX better choice price

@JStryker7 3 жыл бұрын

I've had good service with two dealers. I'm not sure what your complaint about the dash is. I can't stand tablet screens and I prefer analog for speedo and rpm since they won't look like a 90s game in a few yr. The infotainment on my 2018 does everything that I need it to with android auto and the 2020 is better.

I would say 10 and 10 for performance and handling. Drive a new mustang, bmw, whatever nothing compares in this price range. Fun driving factor reminds me of an old BMW Z4, Nissan 350 Z, or a Infiniti G37 when they were brand new, but better. Cut the top off and this would be one heck of a convertible. The Alfa Guilia is slightly more fun to drive only because it’s lower to the ground. The modern Alfa’s are underrated. Alfa is fighting bad reliability issues from decades ago.

I also enjoy the actions from my cockpit, with the race car twin gauge shapes and clam shell hood framing the tarmac to be conquered. I’ve drove older generations of Alfa Romeo but this one sets apart the quality and design. It’s a master piece you can own and run away with. All the Italian style and Ferrari design really transform the brand.

One of the best reports about the Stelvio I've seen so far - thank you. And - franky - this model simply has the sexiest 'arse' out there of the whole car industry. But what is giving me the most pleasure driving mine already for 65'500 km is: The steering ratio. Normal cars have around 14.5 to 1. Sporty cars like porsches have 13 to 1. While the Stelvio and the Giulia have a mind numbing 12 to 1 that allows to drive this SUV like a go kart. Paired with the low weight and the 50:50 weight ratio on both axis it's pure fun for those who enjoy driving. I love it.

I always find funny the comment "you buy horse power, you drive torque". I agree with the notion behind it though, because when we talk about power we're always thinking about the engine maximum power and not the power curve of an engine. But in the end, the fact is ,we always drive power. Torque x rpms is what gives us power, power is what determines how easy or fast we can accelerate. So, the higher the torque, less engine revs we need for the same amount of power. But it's always power that we're looking for. ....and that's why I love turbo charged engines. We get loads of torque, meaning power, at low and mid revs. Maybe not as fun, but surely a lot more useful than getting 280hp from this Stelvio at 4800 rpms, is getting 80hp at 1600rpms or 100hp at 1850. We need a good 4500cc V8 engine to be able to beat that at such low revs!

Also commenting on boot space: With all the seats up, the Q5, X3 and GLC offer 550lts or 4% more boot space than the Stelvio and X4 at 525lts, which in turn is 5% more than a Macan or a XC60. Therefore, I don't think the boot space would be a decision factor.

@@dinopappous6639 well mine was an 04 Z4 so that was quite lively. I remember correcting it a few times in the wet at high speed. The steering was very good although a bit slower than the Giulia. You're right about new BMWs.

Not sure why people complain about the dash layout, so much better than the sh*t looking tablet stuck on the dash look. So much more character than the Germans and to drive - no comparison and that’s from experience.

@@dinopappous6639 With my last new car purchase I bought one where the nearest dealer was 65 miles away. Its been totally reliable, but I did have to leave it there overnight for an important recall fix. It was a massive P.I.T.A.. One time having to go through that hokey pokey of renting a car to get home (they didn't have a loaner) and then driving over an hour back the next afternoon was enough. I will NEVER buy a new car that doesn't have a local dealer again. Its not worth the potential trouble regardless how nice the car is.

Best car manufacturer 2019 Alfa Romeo 2nd place (autoexpress.uk), 1st was Lexus (you know......Japanese). December 2020 4 awards in germany and car of the year 2021 in germany and there is a lot more about Alfa and its reliability on the internet, just inform yourself and dont believe these storys from the 70s of people that dont even know what a combustion engine is.
