Very good watch. I'm not putting any spoilers in here.

Enjoy!

The Giulia Quad is such a beautiful car and still lust after one. I nearly bought a Verde Montreal with CF buckets but ended up with the 2nd G80 M3 (xdrive) which I love but I still have the desire to get a Quad. The driving experience is pound for pound one of the best out there even if it is a step or two behind a G80 M3 these days it makes up for it with pure driving fun.

One of the most objective and honest comparison of both.

Only a small error in the video - Giulia had torque vectoring diff before, not electronically controlled LSD, now it has mechanical LSD.

Nice

Cannot believe AR is discontinuing the Quad lines…. Crazy. Still lust after a Stelvio Quad even now. Just can’t stomach the dealer network, etc.

[bholler]

Yeah, I also wanted one back in 2016 but they were just so slow and releasing it and then end up driving one and I just couldn’t deal with the infotainment system either(no CarPlay)

Happy with the ///M

no ragrets

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

You’re going to need two Alfa Romeo’s

One to drive while the other is in service

You should at least spell the name of the manufacturer correctly if you are going to make claims about the vehicle.

[Adcampo]

I wanted a Quad when they first came out, but was disappointed they didn’t come with the manual. Test drove and got pretty close but ended up going what the F80. Still a great car, but it looks pretty dated inside.

OK grammar police… I fixed that for you… Siri hopes you can sleep tonight…

Very nice comparison here. Despite the huge kidney grills, the M division really did their hw on this car & it's no wonder it continue to impress people who... really know how to drive a car well, know what an excellent performer feels like & are articulate enough to clearly convey all this.

This information is simply not correct. Alfa have actually been a very reliable brand. The Quads especially. In the research I did, most of the people who owned Alfas, and Quads, were also owners of Porsche, Ferrari, Ms, RS', AMGs, and most of them said they were as reliable or more so than any of the other brands. I also saw many owners with 50-100K miles on Giulias that have been out in EU for some time say the same. The people I know who have owned Quads in the US have had no problems, especially after 2018. On top of that, they have held their value quite well.

I’m not trying to rain on your parade, but I have several family members, and a few people in my community that say otherwise

I still have the key to one we sold at auction that a customer traded into us because he was on his 3rd engine. Wanted back into a P-car to autocross.

Watched the video.

Looking forward to the M5 Touring reviews.

I agree, similar experiences myself with close friends who have been left stranded by their 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder QV Giulias. Especially since Afla's dealership network is basically gone in Los Angeles now, definitely will not be considering buying one.

It's interesting because in the 6 months I vacillated over another G80 M3 and the QV this is exactly the opposite I got from a what I felt was a broad range of people.
Either way, I still lust after what is a beautiful car with a phenomenal engine and great driving dynamics.
All that being said, I am more than happy with my second G80.

I'm not convinced, hence the bad residuals on Quads and expensive leases...and the reason why it's difficult to sell them new

My 2.0 has been very reliable, but QVs def seem like playing with fire.

Amazing car to drive, I fell in love with any one I've taken for a spin...shame it's being discontinued. I'm considering an M2 or M3 next for that reason.

Depends where you're at in LA...I don't have issues. Santa Monica, Glendale, Van Nuys all doable.

Though yes would be nice to have the volume of dealerships BMW has

[Bumpinjeep]

I mean, If we're talking residuals, you can pick a QV up for low 30s, probably high 20s, which is what they were traded in as, these were $70K-$85K cats new. If you really want one, just buy a used for for a few years or until the next big repair.

[///M TOWN]

No thanks

I rather just rent one for the weekend

[TXGrey]

I was getting emails for (still new) left over ‘23 Stelvio Quads for almost $20K off from my local dealer… I mean, that’s basically the first 1.5 years of depreciation right there…. It was soooo tempting. But I just can’t do it.
