2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport AWD: First Drive 

As always, a great review. Thank you Sam.

In the market for something like this...thanks for the informative, no-nonsense review

I love the "Sense of value" rating, that's a great way of describing it's perceived value. All too often we just see a ticket price comparison. Great video. The only thing that confuses me with this car is that some reviews seem to suggest the switchgear and controls are a bit low rent, others say they're fine and I just wondered why. My nearest dealer is a 180m round trip so not something I can easily check out for myself.

I like your setup dude. I’ll continue to like.

TestDrivenTV Great review.. Great ranking system.. Thanks for the effort.. Liked & Subscribed for sure.

Just purchased one, and love it!

Great review. I just bought one, and love it.

solid review, thanks.

Nice and relaxing video.

great car great review!

Appreciate the objective and balanced review. Very well done. I own a Giulia and car not perfect but frankly feels special compared to competitor and imagine similar for this car.

Amazing car !!!!!

Okay thanks for the info

I test-drove one, the steering is incredibly responsive. Plenty fast.

Thanks for the video, very informative. I'm looking at a 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport AWD 89K miles, $21,500. White exterior, brown and tan interior. The more I look at it, the more it appeals to me. Thanks, :)

Great Cars!!!

Didn’t like it at first but this model looks amazing. Most all crossovers look bland and uniform but this is actually something different that looks great without being ridiculous

Flying to pick mine up 1600 miles from home at the end of the month 🤞🤞

I understood none of the Stelvio's yet had Apple Carplay or Android Auto? Your tester had it?

I heard that it can be turned off by disconnecting the hood sensor on the passenger side?

The best ❤️👍🏻🇮🇹

Omg, this car does the led lights right. I know it's a tiny detail, but I can't stand the majority of all other cars that the led drl turns off when you turn on the turn signal. As if it would be hard to see the signal if the drl were still on. Well, it isn't and this car proves it. Some newer cars where the white led drl becomes the turn signal is fine, and actually I like that a lot. But if they're different lights, there is no need to turn off the led light. On this car, the turn signal is still very visible when the drl is still on. Good job Alfa!

No washboard road test?

so professional

Great review, Sam. Q: Stelvio or F-Pace?

I believe you can de activate the startstop

get one while you can

I have a 2019 and the Only complaint I have is people flashing high beams because Im blinding them with my headlights

Just bought this car! Black with red leather interior. Sexy as hell! Love it 🥰 drives like a dream. Last 2 cars ~ Jaguars Beautiful cars too. ♥️ Thank you ☺️

How tall are you? I appreciate the review but just wondering what your height is.

Amazing vehicle. I wonder how the reliability will be in the long term. I am liking what Alfa Romeo is doing overall. But I am curious about the long haul down the road.

So can the feature of stopping /starting the engine be permanently turned off?

I have one the 2018 Ti sports, all though all windows are closed I still hear outside air sound coming in. Why?

Looks like this was shot in Phoenix or Tucson? lol

It drives like an Alfa. If just want a great CUV all-around go buy a CX-5 signature trim model, plenty of power and all the options. If you want a CUV that is built to drive, see where Alfa spent the money...carbon fiber driveshaft, great tranny, forged suspension bits. If you want a nameplate or are another marque fan get the BMW/Merc/Porsche/Volvo/Lexus version. Alfa always fit a different place in the market for better or worse, not the most luxurious, not the price leader, but a driver's car (now CUV).

The grill always reminds me of Voldemort lol

same with the 2020? can't turn it off?

The styling is a hit. My issue or not is the look of the plastics and it seems like it has panel alignment issues. It could just be the video though.

alfa romeo stelvio is it good!

I wan this vehicle... :-)

With the way you described the Start Stop System, I would not want my wife and kids driving in that! Sure hope Alfa corrects this with an update. But sure looks beautiful and different from the other million SUVs out there.

Remote start ?

It has the Italian gusto, which is a nice difference to the generally stoic Germans, but I can't trust the build quality...yet. In the class, I would still do the Q5 or GLC.

Porsche Macan 252 HP Stelvio Base 280 HP Porsche = Volkswagen Alfa = Ferrari

Looks kinda bland in black, seems it would pop more in white or red

Hello my name is Stelvio.

Great review... I'm not a big fan of star ratings since it's completely subjective and kind of old-fashioned but I subscribed! You look yummy too.

So if this guy is 6'5" tall this car is HUGE! Great review though. It would be nice to get a sense of scale.

This Crossover BLOWS AWAY everything from the Germans....Porsche, Mercs, BMW, Audi...time to go back to the drawing board boys....

L'Alfa Romeo harms those who do not.

Stelvio.....Stelvio....lol

I think crossover might be a strong word for this vehicle. Couldn't Alpha Romeo just lower it a few millimeters and call it a Giulia Hatchback? Since it has no D Pillar windows, it really looks like a hatchback. The second row seats don't even recline and the seat belts for the seats are mounted in the seat instead of the C Pillar. He didn't even take it off-road. If I was shopping in this segment and I needed four doors, I would just get a A5/S5 Sportback.

At this price range, you're better off going with the Acura RDX a reliable great value vehicle. Which also has a sweet sounding V-6 as opposed to the turbo charged 4 cylinder.

sounds like you either have a cold or received some bad news. drink some coffee next time :P

Wow. Looks exactly like the last gen Mazda CX-5

Is it a very expensive Kia or Hyundai

It's shaped like a Mazda cx5.

I don't know about it look (front), not appealing to me at all. Mazda CX9 looks better

2018 and only 20mpg - TERRIBLE!

I drove it, too much wind noise leakage. Depreciation will be very high on these cars, not a lot of dealerships available yet. Flimsy control knobs, great seats, great looking, but way too expensive and no history of reliability .
