My friend Jonno bought a cool car! So a video was definitely in order. Welcome to the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce.

This is the sort of car you need to enjoy while you're still allowed. Considering the Alfa Giulia Veloce is about the same price as a boring, ugly Nissan Leaf, the choice should be obvious.

Very good point.

Underrated cars these, even here in Italy. The reason is they're pricey, but rather than spending that money on flashy things like LED headlights which draw customers into showrooms, Alfa took the passionate way out and spent that money on motorsports derived technology like the carbonfibre driveshaft. You certainly won't find that on an Audi! Not even one costing twice as much. There are also useful touches like the digitally controlled indicator stalk that returns to centre; this means it won't reset prematurely like a mechanical one if you turn the wheel and turn it back slightly before making the actual turn. Ironically BMW used to use this technology and it was super useful in my E89. Not once did the indicators fail to almost telepathically predict what I was doing. I had a Golf GTE VI after and the mechanical indicator stalk drove me nuts, prematurely resetting constantly. It sounds like a minor gripe, but eventually I came to hate it. And if you buy a Maserati, you get Chrysler stalks, not these slick Alfa ones. Both Alfa and Maserati used to make illuminated stalks incidentally, a rare thing indeed. Ok enough geeky facts. Reliability has been the big question mark on the Giulia. As usual there are some horror stories, but also some stories of 100% reliability. The truth is somewhere in between, again as usual. Most German cars certainly aren't reliable or particularly well built, not for a long time now. Only the Japanese are obsessive about reliability. I'd rather have this.

Ah, they didnt mention how incredible the steering is, it maneuvers like a friggin ballerina. Also, 8 speed ZF gearbox and was the safest or 2nd safest 4 door sedan when released, im sure its still up there with Tesla. Just genuinely an incredible car, co-designed with Ferrari. Also prop shaft is carbon fiber, and the whole car is like 90 something % aluminium, which is how they cut the weight down so much.

Personally not too keen on the colour to be absolutely honest but a massive thumbs up to the owner for deciding to buy something other than the equivalent Audi or BMW. It might unfortunately ultimately hurt a bit on the residual values when selling on comes around but a great car nevertheless. During the 80’s I was the happy owner of two Alfa Sud’s and in the 90’s a 159 and 147. Despite a poor reliability and build quality reputation in those earlier days Alfa Romeo have since really got their act together to produce a fantastic range of cars.

This car is great. I just went to check the underside on mine and noticed that it is nearly fully flat / enclosed. Even the rear bumper is closed of to reduce turbolence (and I have only a sprint diesel)... This car has actively ventilated brake discs on the lowest spec engine. And a near flat floor.... Carbon driveshaft and (nearly) 50/50 weight distribution (as it is a diesel). This is by all means a sportscar in disguise. Long story short... I ordered the working rear Diffusor for my car... Less drag, increases efficiency even further and the added benefit of a little more downforce does not hurt... Compared to the German competition, this car is a different Level when it comes to mechanical efficiency, grip and cornering speed.

I have just bought a petrol car after 20 years of diesels. It’s so smooth, but as mentioned in your vlog, you have to rev the engine much more. I feel I’m learning to drive again. Enjoyed this one Nick.
@visionist73 жыл бұрын
They use way less petrol than they used to as well. Driven sensibly, they don't lose out on economy compared to a diesel as much as they used to. A diesel only really makes sense if you're driving at least 30 miles a day IMO
