2018 alfa Romeo giulia reliable?

Id not. I dont trust it at all, and 1 year old is hardly a reliability test. This is why I went with the cx5 instead of the slightly more athletic Alfa.

Slightly? What car planet are you on? You OBVIOUSLY haven't driven the Alfa. Your opinions are a joke... I mean really. The Mazda 3 and 6 are nice driving cars for what they are...

But you're ACTUALLY COMPARING the driving dynamics of RWD to FWD and making this statement.

You are comparing throttle response of 280hp turbo engine to a 186hp na engine. Are you comparing the zf 8 speed to whatever is in a mazda...

You can't out accelerate. Outurn out handle or outdrive the Alfa in any human way possible.

Do you say things to get a rise out of people? Or are you this mind numbingly delusional?

As far as the Alfa 2.0. It's a global engine. A derivative of a tigershark which is a reliable engine but the Alfa engine is built way more solid to handle much more power kinda like an Evo engine.

You're just so delusional it's unreal... Import, go back to sleep. Go troll a RAV 4 or CR-V forum or stop sniffing the cow manure SMH.

Show me one professional race car driver comparing a cx5 to a giulia and maybe I'll consider your mindless dribble trying to justify your ridiculous unenthusiastic CUV purchase ..

My vehicle has 250hp/310# torque, AWD, and a wonderful 6-speed transmission that is one of the best automatics I've driven.

Looks like the Alfa falls short in the braking and is my car's equal in the lateral adhesion, 5-60 tests, while ousting it by a little over half a second to 60, which is why I said "slightly more athletic". Fits. Try to control yourself.

First of all... You dragged in the AWD base. Not a TI sport which has a totally different suspension tune.

Secondly... You come on an enthusiast site and match 2 ON PAPER STATS IN ROADHOLDING and suddenly you think your shytmobile compares to an ALFA?

GEEZUS KRYST... Who is buying this BEE ESSS right now??? Your separation anxiety from a real car has you comparing stats on night and day cars. Just cuz my camaro makes numbers in line with a Ferrari in roadholding doesn't make it a Ferrari. And reviewers have compared my MRC to Ferrari and tho I think that's cool... I'd never play myself like that. So as we said in the arcade days... kick the quarter out your azz cuz you played yourself. Sorry to take a shyt on your opinion. But I just took a shyt on your opinion. Go troll the Honda site...

I'm done with this dude. I haven't banned anyone since Jungle Z. I think you're next.

Dude, you should know better. Slim chance of whipping an Odessy! And don't even get me started about the performance of the Oldsmobile Silhouette:
