I owned two Alfas primarily because that car is simply a pleasure to ride. Alfa is made for the people who love speed. However, every Alfa is totally unreliable, you never know whats gonna happen next, some malfunctions are really anthological, for example you put the ignition key in the lock and theres no contact lights, no power at all, although theres no defective fuse or anything else suspicious. The rust is rather old issue, nowadays is everything else. So as an Alfa owner, and a guy who love cuore sportivo, I think this car is way way overpriced, its simply not worth this kind of money. I guess I'll rather buy two Nissan Qashqais.

The perfect SUV; I want one badly. Well, there is one drawback. It has great handling, is an absolute pleasure to drive; RWD by default (a little power to the front axle when necessary, which is almost never); fabulous sounding 200 HP Italian petrol engine; 0-60 in 7. 2 seconds, so quicker than my 5-series BMW, way quicker than my wife's Toyota Highlander; city mileage 30 mpg, hwy mileage 40+? Unbelievable. that they only send the gas guzzling 280 HP engine to America. Some people need 0-60 in 5. 4 seconds and 28 mpg highway mileage. My wife doesn't.

I have Giulia - reliability wise no issues20000km. aluminium paddle actually are not problem when you not use them, while are very pleasant if you decide to use them. Small camera screen actually does the job also. It-s true that interior doesn-t feel that luxury like e. g. in Benz, but this is cheaper car also. Also more carbon and aluminium for weight reduction costs money and they need to cut from something. Giulia drives phenomenal, still did-t try Stelvio but everyone tells me it-s almost no difference from the Giulia.

I love Alfa, but this and the Guilia are just disgusting (My opinion, the headlights are far too big and the grille really doesn't do it any favours. they look worse in person too, the Stelvio looks so silly on smaller wheels too. the rear end is nice though and the interior is a step in the right direction too, actually looks like it was built with a bit of thought this time around, but compared to the super cool brera or the mafia looking 159ti they have lost that unique look about them

Why he didnt complain glovebox size in Audi A8, which doesnt exist. Why he doesnt compare interior space with Volvo for example which is best but always refere to german car. When he testedAlfa Giulia he didnt say Audi didnt drive as good as Alfa. And always say -buy it- when testing VW group. Its obvious who is paying him: ) I dont trust his tests at all. Minus

After A-B'ing the Evoque and the Stelvio (also saw Carwow's latest review on the 2020 Evoque, I am very happy that I chose the Stelvio instead. The RR does have more -class- but the AR is a heck of a lot more fun for the money and really offers an enjoyable ride. Quiet and respectable when you want it to be, and like a bat out of hell when you open it up.

Come on Matt- stop being so picky (British) give the Stelvio it-s due credit!
Who gives a damn about a big bottle of water or a small bottle one, seriously I-m here to drive and not be thirsty all along -. also this ain-t a family size suv- this is a perfect SUV and it looks really cool
And 505 horses- damn bring it on.

I love the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio and even the Giulia. Its such a refreshing new product that hasn't been -Americanized-(Over-sized, slow and gimmicky. Weak engines for -Fuel Efficiency-. The clean, simple interior design is quite welcoming. Its a drivers car for people who want to focus on a fun technical sporty drive.

Well, in terms of space, the Mercedes, Audi and BMW only have 4% more boot space.
The Macan and the Volvo actually have about the same percentage less than the Stelvio. So, I'm not sure about it being so bad in this regard.
As for the noise, we can have noise reduction as an option at the cost of a bit more weight.

Steering in Giulia/Stelvio is way better than in any german car, and design. Only Porsche is good. Still Stelvio looks better than Macan or bigger Cayenne, and Giulia better than much bigger Panamera, and 4c better looking than 718/911, and MB/Audi/BMW are all generic boring looking
