Totally agree. I would keep the G and love it and put the German washing machine.....sorry the Golf and put that in the recycling skip.

Thats nice to hear,enjoy yourself

Well said

I agree completely Robert, Alfa is a heart purchase for people who love life. Cars like the Golf are more like a household appliance!

The Alfa Nut oh, i think youre being a bit harsh on the golf, ive had several and they are great cars. Its more than an appliance. My wifes had an r32 for nearly ten years and it has tons of character...and reliability. We are fortunate to have so many great cars these days to chose from. I think we're getting a bit spoilt.

👍🏻😍😍

me too, same as the test ... great car...❤

The golf is good all round so better daily driver. Alfa if you want a weekend blaster, too tiring on a motorway.

Golf if you want a good car to go from point A to point B. Alfa if you enjoy driving...!

@@ruialexandremachadodeolive2868 yup

@@ruialexandremachadodeolive2868 the gti is great to drive, not sure what youre on about

it make look fresh but they sure hell wont drive fresh lol i guarantee this will be rattling like a kids toy by now

@@steviegbcool your comment says it all: you didn't drive an Alfa yet or own one. Get one and tell us 10 years later how you think. It's easy to take the opinions from outside and not using your own judgement.

@@jokerash I have a 8 year old giulietta and it rattles like kids toy lol

I have a Giulietta that's 12 years old and drive very well. guess it's also down to how the previous owner looks after it. Really like it though@@jokerash

My Giulietta is 13 years old, one of the first production from 2011 and it´s driving very nice. Every ride is special and I always look back after leaving her. Alfa really is something different

Was going to comment the same thing!

Exactly

That's what Alfas does to you.

@@b.satrya918 i cannot understand y people buy German cars...

@@archer7716 another person who nothing understand about cars

your the luck one lol

German ford is true. Plus for the price of the Golf you could buy a Giulia Rwd 😉 or a Giulietta and drop some upgrades on it like a stage 2 turbo putting it to 350bhp

Boring... guess you haven’t driven one or needed to crawl into your car at 5 in the morning to go to work and acknowledged how good it does everything

I was a Italian car fan untill now. my 1st 4 cars were italian, then i was in teh market for a "sports car" which ended up bein ga "hot hatch" for various everyday life reasons. So our roads are generally really bad, take that in consideration as that is a major factor, for everyday driving. I was looking at Giulia QV, Megane RS, Golf 7 GTI, I30N, New model Megane RS, Focus ST, Audi S3, Civic Type R, all of theese are eighter too expensive or i just dont like the looks of them / interior, or are too track focused = horrible for a daily. So it came down to Th 1st 3 menthioned cars. Megane RS was out of question due to "bad" resell value, crap interior, not the best reliability being a Renault, and the sheer outdated looks (could not afford the new model) The giulietta, its outdated, not best realibility, horrible resell value, not a good Auto transmission, and not the biggest fan of the cars front end. So it came down to the Golf, never tought i would ever buy that to be hones. Its boring i said, hell, many people keep saying that. But then i arranged a test drive and i was blown away how comfortable it is, how refined, and how nice the DSG is, let alone how good the engine is and that it can be mapped to 300hp and 350Nm easyily. Its expensive, it is, but i still end up buying it and i dont regret it, and i know the resell value will be still good in 5 years, since i was looking at MK6 GTIs over here for reference. It looks boring ? It does look boring from teh erar, from the side not too much since mine is a 3door, the front is pretty agressive. Well you can always work on the lloks with tuning and i will do exacly that, liek i did on my last 3 cars, which were unique in the end. So much about that, i bought a GTI and i really like it as a everyday confortable hothatch that i take to work and send it on twisty B roads on the way home

I often say the life is too short to drive a boring car.

Hi, could you please share your thoughts on Brera and GTV, as I'm really interested in these two, and how would you compare them two to Giulietta qv? Thank you in advance:)

Hi Laurie, where did you get you Giulietta tuned? Cheers

@@duleopasni all are nice cars. But it depends what you want them for. If you can get a GTV with a busso engine you will be very happy. Still not as fast as the Giulietta though but the sound is amazing. Giulietta is way more reliable than the other 2 and handles better. Brera is a better tourer but I was constantly changing parts and chasing suspension knocks.

@@1nomadxyz I have done most of it myself. But the map I had done at Bianco Auto development. They are making a tuning kit for the Giulietta now. Track tested. But mine is quicker as I had a stage 2 turbo built and a few other additional bits.

@@lauriecooke4881 thank you very much for the reply. I'm probably gonna go for giulietta qv, as I see it as good daily driver with great engine. I'd also like to get a gtv/Spyder 916, but that one will probably have to wait a little bit :)

why'd you sell it?

It was a bit small for three kids, as they were getting older and taking up more space - however i'm considering getting another one as a second car. I had mine for almost 4 years and It still excited me whenever i drove it, and I still had to look back at it every time I parked it - No other car i've owned has done that for me. Harry is definitely right in the fact that owning an Alfa at least once turns you into more of a car enthusiast - It's those details and that Italian flair that suck you in.

raycollard1984 buy the Giulia!

I'm seriously considering one...

raycollard1984 as owner of a Giulia I feel like giving you just an advice: it's not that spacious nor practical for a family with 3 kids, for that regard you may want to consider a Stelvio; if you already have a more family friendly car and wanna get back to Alfa as a secondary car, then absolutely go for it. If you liked Giulietta that much, you may very well fall in love for a Giulia.

had one and can confirm its is most definitely not the one to own i'm afraid Vincent. Shame

@@soldatinconnu1804 same here, I have the 1.6 and adore it

What is the highway fuel consumption like? 1.4 170pk?

Nigel Howard You shuld probably try the GTI Clubsport (GTI 40 Year Anniversary) as well. As its more like Golf R, but without the heavy 4WD. I own it myself & videos can be seen at my channel. Its one of few cars that can send 100 % of power to the front axle... And you will definetly notice that first time you step pedal to the metal.

Hi 3DFX, I'll have a look!. Thanks

Clubsport was limited to 400 cars and came at a price of 44.000 EUR. It's the only version of current GTi that keeps up with current market performance standards, but it's price and production units make it irrelevant. PS/ it's not the only car capable of putting that power to the front axle. Both the (6 year old) Focus RS Mk2 and Type R do better with 300+ hp.

The huge price difference could drop on some very fun upgrades on the Alfa

always

I had a Giulietta for almost 4 years, and I had to turn back and look at it every time I left it - It's the only car i've ever owned that had that allure.

Yep always, similar to sneaking a last glance of the person you have desperately fallen for.

I am exactly the same looking at my red 159 and I can’t wait to get one with a more powerful engine as the 1.8 Vauxhall unit is underpowered but insurance for a 19 year old in a Tbi… yeh so mpi it was

Why did you sell it? What car replaced it?

Ingo Cernohorsky He bought an Alfa Romeo 4C, also same engine haha.

Ingo Cernohorsky a 4C indeed. I sold it because I drove it for business and private. That became to much. So I Wanted Something special for my private kilometers and bought The Alfa Romeo 4C. Now still have to find a car for my business kilometers.... 🤔

Same with the 2017 GTI Clubsport seen here at my Channel! ;)

skycrap "for only 241HP" if you want you can swap for me transit connect with a tyre scorching 75bhp.... if that might be better for you(?) (no swap btw I would nt swap for the world)

Haaahaaa.. You hit it on the Nail.. 'even if its just one bend' !!. I have a gtv 2l ts 916 pase 2 and makes me smile every time I take her out for a spin !!! Thats what makes Alfas special !

Thomas Harrison-Lord ,ha ha, yea

that is just a rabbit hunter:)

Looks like it's still there Lol ..

wtf hahaha

@@dreday77764 you heard me :L

Not squeaking plastic trim and such is standard on VW for decades, in German cars in general.

mmdirtyworkz and now Alfa are up to the same level,my son has a golf r his squeaks

It really depends on how you maintain it...my father still owns a 147 from 2009 and I assure you its still brand new. However...once you try it you love it. It doesn't matter what people really say, the germans really build great quality cars, but when you drive a german car you're just a bully on the road. There's no emotion whatsoever (at least in my case) just a good engineering machine that decides for you what to do on the road. Alfa has always been about the pasion. About the heart and soul of driving. Pure agressivity and fun! So when you hear people complaining about the squeaks I always laugh. Cause Italians have the greatest car racing history in the world. We could debate a lot on this argument but do a reseaalrch. Not to mention that when the Fiat first made a turbo car, audi was just experimenting their first motor. Non to mention that Ferrari worked with Alfa and then decided to take his role in car history asside. Not to mention that maserati and lancia had a great history in Alfas garages and then went for their own trophies. But all of these iconic cars were built by a single name. FABBRICA ITALIANA AUTOMOBILI TORINO. P.s. the germans are the cleverest people on earth. Buying stuff they didnt make. Like the lambos. Like the lambo needed their engines ahahahahahahahah and people not getting it. Please

VW rust as standard also 😉 mmdirtyworkz

They might not squeak (actually a lot of them do) but worse still is that a lot of the so called premium materials on the German cars are coatings used as to improve the finishing touch so when you touch them they feel plush. Just get in 10 yrs old cars and see how most look cracked, dated, and feel anything but nasty. German car industry never has been ir his what most make of them. Just the engine on that Alfa beats hands down the basic engineering on the VAG lump.

Yeah I have a 159 and while it actually sounds much quieter than this it creaks but I forgive it because it’s so much sportier ride than anything else like it I’ve driven everything else Is too predictable. That being said the 159 has a ridiculously stiff shell

Couldn't agree more. We were looking for a second car and I have always wanted an Alfa. This great video helped make up my mind. I am now the proud owner of a second hand, but new to me 2016 Giulietta Speciale 1.4 TB Multiair with the TCT gearbox in Competizione (4C) Red. So happy with my choice and it has exceeded all my expectations.

Fezza I totally bought the 2017 GTI Clubsport (you see at my Channel) With 100% head & 100% hearth. Don't ask me how that ads up! But a car purchase never does, for a real car freak does it..? ;)

Yep... no one ever buys an Alfa if they have thought about it... it's definitely not a smart purchase, definitely an emotional purchase. Sorry Harry and Son, I disagree... Golf all the way!

FalconXE302 that Giulietta isnt much behind of Golf if you look all the aspects of car.There isnt muchof a diference.I would say it comes down to personal taste and what you like more.So buying this Alfa is ok thing to buy as is Golf.I like them both actualy.Dont think Golf GTI isnt sexy and dont think Alfa is unreliable.

@@FalconXE302 ma vai a cacare

So does the Golf, it's been on the market for over 30 years now and has been perfected...

Alfa hahaha

2JuLLius75 Follow your brain. Alfa looses its value too Quick for any normal payed person Can afford.

Daniel Fl. Both the Golf and the Giulietta loose their value at the same speed, if you search about the second hand cars they are all around the same price in similar conditions, the newer ones are still more than €10-15000.

Yes mate Fuck the reviews, I have this car in red! love it but always bemused by the endless negative reviews it had.

Jeff Dolby , I drove a 2007 Alfa diesel/ manual 6-speed 164. It was a rental down in Sicily IT. Loads of power; up🇮🇹🇺🇸🌄 mount Etna!

GTfour01 *alfista (;

jdm_ tractor Boring? I presume you’ve never driven one.

Insurance prices killed the hot hatch. Nowadays you are lucky to get a Fiesta ST or Citroen Saxo VTS for under £1k if your under 22. I refuse to get financially raped by bullshit PCP contracts and ridiculous insurance costs on anything even vaguely "quick"

If you want a fun car if you're under 22 look at the Fiat Panda 100hp.

Im 20 with 1 year no claims and pay £1000 on an R32 golf...

yep, the red and white are its signature colours

had one and it was the worst car i have had.

Yeah if I was paying myself I'd probably go for the golf!

mart. Let us see the photos, or you are a troll liar

lol You Muslim fascist mart f

....perhaps it was the reference to "ps".... what ever that is....

Someone that bought the Golf ?

Who cares and who even looks at that? I always find it weird that anyone notices thumbs-down, and never do until someone gets all bothered about it. In this world of trolls and twits, you're going to get mischief.

Probably a golf owner
