2018 alfa Romeo giulia reliable?

This obviously EXCLUDES the Quadrifoglio. But it seems the 2.0 has gotten a reliability boost from 2017 to 2018. I may be trading my 2016 acura tlx for a 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti sport!! This has been the sedan of my dreams. Actually the quad is. But horrid reliability will keep me away. Thinking of getting it in competizone rosso with tan interior or trifecta white with red interior

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 ..

Granted, not specifically about “quality”, but this is from actual owners, not people who still think the world is flat and that Alfas are junk.

A probably more relevant “review”, done in a ballsy way from the middle of enemy territory. :-)
Alfa Romeo goes to Bimmerfest to poach customers. They were actually a sponsor!

And UNKNOWN_370, the G Ti Sport is the exact one to get. Sweet spot between performance and price.

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.

I test drove it as soon as it dropped and was amazed. I know all the luxury brands had to take notice!! This thing is EVO fast with luxury refinement and improved handling. I struggle with should I get a Q2 or Q4. RWD is a little more fun but the accuracy of the Q4 is truly amazing. One of the most fun AWD cars I've ever driven. I'm excited to finally get in an Alfa. I was just scared of maintaining a quadrifoglio. The Ti has a lot of grunt for a 2ltr.
As beautiful as the new Mazda vehicles are and as well sorted as they drive. They're not in the same universe as the Alfa. BMW doesn't even do well as a comparison. Let alone Mazda. I think the closest car to compare to the Alfa is the 911. Yes I said it. The 911 has more in common with the Alfa than the BMW. Though one is a sedan and one is a coupe. The way they accelerate and turn I feel a closer relation than with BMW or MAZDA for certain.

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:

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.

Oh thats just a slightly less athletic Cayenne Turbo!

ImportConvert · 06-09-2019, 08:32 PM

Initially, I was referring to the Stelvio, as its analagous to the turbo cx5. It is a bit more athletic, but an FCA product.

It shares the drivetrain of the car you're looking at. Hence the tie in.

However, the model you're looking at, the car, with the Ti package etc. Is in CLA45 AMG territory, pricewise. I guess it is a way fo be different, buft I donf see the appeal of tfhe sedan as its not really all that cost vs product impressive.

Other than having 60hp and over 100# of torque less, I guess that's similar?
