Exactly, best way to describe this car. Also Alfa needs to be respected as they brought out a car completely new that competes with cars like amg c63 bmw m3 that has a long history

Alfa needs to bring this car to America with a manual transmission.

How many times did the Alfa break down? I wanted the Giulia to be a win...but I haven't read a review where the car hasn't had some sort of failure. Hoping Alfa gets it right because I'll be in the market in a few years. Great video and what an awesome GTS Targa!

Cheers,
NF

You have got to be kidding ...........go to a track and learn to drive..........you're on public roads.....what you were doing is monumentally stupid, dangerous to both yourselves and others.

until now no major problems however service center quality is an issue for us here in Spain. Alfa as a brand is not servicing the QVs at their brand service, instead with another brand that is taking care of Fiats, Abarths, Alfas and so on. And they are not ready for this car, we have a noise coming from the break pads and they couldnt find out where exactly is issue at. 2 technicians been sent to Barcelona to check the car. This is sad

Other than this, its a beautiful car, has more than enough power to get you scared and that exhaust sound is awesome. I believe there is a bit of turbo lag which is normal. Its a perfect balance between a daily sedan and sports cars i think. And price is just makes it very appealing who is looking into these facts.
