Car is literally my forever car. If it ever wears out, I'll get a new one. It does everything well. Carries the kid to daycare, the groceries, then destroys anything that tries to compete at a red light or in twisties. Also drop dead gorgeous. I think it may be the most perfect gas powered sedan of all time.

The Giulia is such a nice car! Even the Veloce Q4 (4-cylinder, 2 liter 16V turbo, AWD) with 280hp is a blast to drive. So nimble and agile because of its excellend weight balance ratio. Pure emotion! Me and my wife bought a new MY22 Giulia Veloce Q4 in december last year and it's by far the best car we've ever had so far. The overall quality is suprisingly good. Misano blue, red brembo brake calipers... You fall in love every day and every trip is a pleasure! 🥰

First time driving the Giulia QV, I hit 100mph in like 3 secs from a rolling start and it was insane. The amount of instant boost it has beats a lot cars with more power off the line. Plenty of Mustangs make this much power but they don't pull like this car does. This is a Ferrari with 4 doors.

it's not all about power... to develop this car they indeed borrowed people from Ferrari. The engine itself is derived from a Ferrari California v8. Suspensions, weight distribution, fast steering, light drivetrain, and most of all lack of weight are the advantages of this car. Infact, unlike the heavier German rivals, it doesn't need to be as stiff, meaning it's a more pleasant daily driver (even on 19 rims). Too bad this will be the last of its kind before Alfa will have to go electric

Misha is phenomenal but there was a lot of traffic jam and road works plus various GOPRO failures. The Giulia Quadrifoglio is a really fun, stiff, fast car which I have had the opportunity of three laps test on a racetrack in Italy. That ZF transmission is a true masterpiece.

See... the tires actually did hold up soooo much better now. The Good Years weren't near the temps needed to deliver some grip on the wet run. Nice to know.. the revised Giulia Q has a ZF plate LSD installed. The one in this Giulia is the electronically torque vectoring diff with two clutches. It overheated quite quickly and became very grabby or opened up fully. With the ZF that should be solved.

He did do a lap in a 4C....only thing he complained about was he lack of power steering made him work harder ;-) I know of a few 4Cs with mods that are very quick especially in cornering and braking. Mine is mostly stock with very minor upgrades. By far it is the most fun car I have ever owned.... and I have owned ALFAs before including a 1969 spider that was heavily modified.... bought that one new and kept it for over 40 years. If I had the garage space I would still have it in addition to my 4C LE. Also owned a 67 ALFA GTV SCCA race car for two years. You aren't a car geek until you have owned an ALFA.
