2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio drive review 

Alfa Romeo probably does the most beautiful factory wheels of all manufacturers.

I own a giulia qv. After coming from an E92 M3, I must admit I did think it was a little quiet at first. I also thought slighter wider arches would have been great. After owning the car for a while though, I must say, I really love it. Its an absolute beast, but so liveable, and it really hooks you in. Chassis, steering and power delivery are really special. And it's such a stunning yet understated car.

Gorgeous car. Well done Alfa for going back to the proper way of building cars.

Carbon bonnet from Gurit Automotive, prototyped on the Isle of Wight... manufactured in Hungary. Produced by a great team that I am proud to have been part of.

You always learn something watching Harry's reviews, like BMWs have turn signals!

i really appreciate that Harry used the magnet to indicate which part of the car was Steel vs Aluminum. Not many other car reviewers would think of that.

Actually I like the fact that car is not too noisy and that it has analog instruments.

Bought this car 4 months ago - absolutely love it!

The weighing thing is fantastic. There is so much bullshit involved with manufacturer quoted weights.

It is a 9/10 car that I had for 2 years. Broadly agree with everything Harry has said, but it really gets under your skin and it is reliable, so you do the miles and smile even more. If you ever get the chance to drive one, or even better own one, do it! 😁

That Grin on Harry's face at around 13:28 tells you everything, this car is epic and that's why I picked up one.

Quality viewing carry on with the good work Harry

What a great review. I lust after this car and have watched so many reviews over the last few months. This is in a different league quality and insight-wise. Thank you for making it!

This is the review I've been waiting for. Exquisite video as always.

The finest casual reviews on cars. Keep them coming Harry.

I’d have one of these over anything tediously German anyday. A car with genuine character and soul. Sounds incredible

That first kickdown and then all hell breaks loose. Love it.

In the late 70's early 80's I had three Alfas. First a 69 Giulia with Weber carbs that was a hoot to drive but after putting in two head gaskets I had to let it go. Then a 72 Giulia with fuel injection that I drove from Vancouver to Toronto and back without a problem. Got 30mpg as well. Lastly a 2000 GTV that I loved but a drunk ran into the back and wrecked it. Sure wish I had that car today. Really enjoyed them all. Wish I could afford one of these new ones. Seems like a great resurgence for Alfa.

Harry reviewing the Quad, that deserves good coffee. Harry's insights are amazing, he just says it as it is without being overly negative.

Proper job!! Setting the standart for this type of show. Thank you Harry

I'd have the Alfa over anything German, absolutely fabulous car.

But they have the 4C for the crazy styling and exotic driving experience. This is a 4 door sedan that means you use it everyday, if they made it uncomfortable and too exciting I think many people wouldn’t buy it.

The world's best car reviewer bar none ... no BS, just a solid impression of the car from someone who know's what the hell they're talking about. Been a fan of Harry's reviews since the early EVO days ... he knows his stuff.

Love your channel, Harry -- beautiful property full of gorgeous cars... A fan from the USA...

That moment when Harry turns over the engine and “Super Freak” is blaring from the radio, lol. Who knew.

I’m a big fan of the Giulia Quadrifoglio - finally a decent and viable alternative to BMW and Mercedes offerings. Typically floored and quirky in an Italian way but still sets the benchmark for future performance Alfa’s. The rumoured Coupe version looks absolutely astonishing - but as always Alfa needs to see it to fruition whilst ironing out some of the saloons idiosyncrasies - Brilliant review as ever Harry!

Had the pleasure of driving one, it is truly brilliant. Power is incredible and the smoothness is brilliant. Very refined but yet super powerful. A gem of a car and as always in Italian cars it puts a smile on your face.

Like the idea of weighing as weight affects nearly everything.

God I miss my Alfa, it was big, heavy, FWD but it had a busso V6 and I adored it. Best car I’ve ever owned.

Had 4 TVR's previously . My last car was an AR 145 quadrifoglio, which never let me down. Now I've got a Mito 1.4 turbo, which is pretty quick in dynamiqe. Very pleased with it . But quiet , not enough exhaust

Harry You have opened my eyes to other marques . To see the Alfa’s make you smile is a delight . What a treat, I have found the silver lining lurking in the covid cloud -- Your Vlogs. Thank you

thank you Harry, enjoyed this. Loving the exhaust noise!

Almost every other car is built for commuters. Alfas are built for drivers.

I almost died laughing when you put into full sport mode and stomped the loud pedal. Like all Alfisti, your face lit with a big uncontrollable smile!!!

Harry, you’ve quickly become my fave YT auto channel. Salute to you and your style. The new Alfas really are the best they have ever offered.

Thanks, Harry! Love these new Alfas

I agree with everything you say, except about the styling. I think they got it spot on, and I get admiring comments from people almost every day. Yes, it could be a little more communicative, but driven at 9/10ths it’s better than anything else with 4 doors

My last alfa was a Alfasud back in the late 80s, the Alfa bug never leaves you despite all the dramas they give

Late to Harry's party - What a fantastic channel and a great delivery. A few weeks worth of watching here to catch up.

Cheers for the review Harry, thumbs up for the scales too. :)

I SIMPLY LOVE THIS CAR,AND I WILL. YESSSSSS WILL BUY ONE.

Great Test - always Harry is the best ❤️🚀

Thanks Harry for a great review of a most exciting car!

Another great video Harry, true to your genuine and honest review, in my opinion. Thanks.

This video just happened to show up in my recommendations. I did not expect a review this good! I rarely quickly give a channel a sub and a like, but this one was deserved. Also helps that this is my favorite car at the moment haha. One interesting part about the car is the interior. IMHO in terms of looks, it doesn't seem or feel very new. Not much inside with the dashboard, instrument cluster, etc seems to inspire much. While that seems like a drawback, I think that will be an asset in the future. A full TFT instrument cluster looks nice now, but how low-resolution will those full displays look in 8 years? A lot of these new car gimmicks won't help some of these cars age well. My family has a 2007 Audi A8, and it has analog gauges with a 4.2 inch screen sandwiched in between. That's really helped prevent our car from feeling like it's close to 12 years old.

The real car weight is probably one of the most important stats and one of the most unappreciated since there is not pattern for measuring it across the industry and manufactures hide the specs which the car measured had, a bunch of options make a huge difference

The review I was waiting for!! Great car. Just love it

I'm so pleased to see your roundabout signalling - right proper

A little harsh i thought Harry. You say it is a 9/10 car but you want more noise from the V6, more fins and spoilers and more excitement. Perhaps you should take it to the track Harry? How much can you really get from a 510HP, 1650KG rear wheel drive 4 door saloon on the road at semi legal speeds, over what it already gives you? 9/10 seems pretty damn good!!! It rides beautifully, it goes like stink, it has proved reliable and take it to the track and you can drift it all day long, or set a really fast time. Isn't this Alfa exactly what we have all been waiting for. Whats the point of a even more expensive hardcore version that you can't really use on the road, BMW keep getting it wrong with the M3 and that sounds terrible. I am pretty sure you could lose £10K very easily on this car. I think you are too much of an enthusiast perhaps Harry, with such a glorious history, we all want the perfect Ferrari beating Alfa, yet that history is over half a century ago at it's most recent really. Lets celebrate what we have here, a good looking, usable, well built, very fast everyday car that rides better than most in its sector. And without too many extras, a very competitive price point. M3 anyone, well maybe the new switchable 4 wheel drive one....

Love that you bought scales to weigh the cars - please do that for your whole fleet as well :)

I've seen many reviews, and im certain i'd get a Giulia quadrifoglio in a few months. Such a great car.

I haven't this watch yet, but I'm so happy about this video, this is future classic and my dream car.

Worth saying the b pillar may be there to aid passenger safety - this car achieved the highest ever rating in adult passenger safety ever recorded

Favourite reviewer and my favourite car

Too many doors Harry! Kidding! Great video as always. Planting season is coming up, hope to see some farm vids!

Really enjoy your videos. Your experience in the industry and reviewing motor vehicles is evident in the numerous facts and history you know that relate to the vehicle in question. Would love the "in-depth" or "walk-around" segment of your videos to go longer to learn more about the technical details of the vehicle.

Another fantastic review from Harry but I disagree about the styling, I think its done just right, the Giulia is simply gorgeous even in boggo trim.

I test drove one of these last month, and can agree with a lot that you say. There's definitely a small lack of communication through the steering wheel when cornering briskly, but as you said the car just does it. I put it down to being so far off the limits at the time that the car wasn't feeding back anything awry. I think I need more than an hour in the thing though. The only thing i'd take issue with is the "9/10ths" bit - to me it was every bit deserving of it's accolades and not once I felt it was lacking. In it's aim of being a usable everyday rocketship I think it achieved, and certainly left me feeling much better than the Caymans i'd been underwhelmed with. I also drove a Veloce, and it felt special in a rep car way, but not a patch on the QV.

Interesting review. Not fitting the trend of other reviews but I feel with your experience I can take your word for it. Nice Harry!

Always appreciate the little touches like the camera running when he shuts the driver's door.

great to weigh the cars! Thank you Harry; wish Evo, Car, Autocar etc did the same!

Those wheels are bloody gorgeous

Another great review Harry! True petrol head. Thanks for always delivering a very factual, detailed overview one can really assess a car with!

Lovely motor and keep em coming mate.

In a subdued colour what a Q Car this could be, lovely noise . Hope it goes the distance.

Thanks Harry, lovely to see a really honest opinion on this my favourite saloon of the moment. And not on track in typical uk B road situation. I sense through your description the car lacked a bit of drama and connection. I understood fully your description of the car not letting you know and giving you the 100% confidence to push it hard. Some chassis just transmit that from the seat of your pants. I have driven a tuned version of the Giulia not the QV and was really impressed. The ZF gearbox is a gem, and the steering as you said is so alert, quick and sensitive, and the ride quality really nice. Never bangs or crashes in any drive mode. :-) Keep up the great work Harry. Look forward to you testing Alfa's next release, lets hope its a coupe.

Nicely done, Harry. Quiet enthusiasm with great observations about living with this car. It now seems more a willing companion than the beast it's made out to be. :) Now, please review the lesser Ti for the rest of us.

Good choice of vehicle to review Harry, good point also I think when you talked about how the Giulia is a fantastic base for building the next Alfa Romeo top model where they can be more daring with the design and maybe make it have better feedback from the steering. Good review Harry as usual I have to say.

Now all I need is a QV Estate to drool over, and for the dogs to drool in. Love this car though - but your Project 8 runs it close!

That zip cardigan is a classic in its own right‼️👴🏼👴🏼👴🏼

My 1st visit to "Harry's Garage", and I'm impressed. That doesn't happen very often. I've owned hundreds of cars in my fairly long life, a few Alfas among them. I'm currently on my 7th Lexus, a 2006 GS300 SE-L, which has very kingly been "breathed on" by my local Lexus dealership. It now has a top-end of 172·6mph! (Achieved over a measured runway for accuracy) Yet it's still silent, super comfortable and utterly reliable. It also returns excellent economy; giving 43mpg at 70mph, on a motorway in cruise and between 21 and 32 mpg around town. I'm happy. (Questions about the other 6 dwarves will not be answered). Anyway; an excellent video in every respect. I shall be on the lookout for more. Thank you Harry.

I’ve been waiting for the review of this lovey car .

I am old fashioned and still think 276bhp is a lot, so would love to see you do a similar video with the Giulia Veloce. Particularly how that compares for driver feel.

Lovely car, and I do read you, and indeed I can see where you are coming from, but I think that Alfa did really want a truly mature and usable fast saloon, rather than a hardcore, raspy, noisy AMG-esque car that you cannot use on a daily basis. This is designed and built to give real sheer joy an a DAILY BASIS.

God this is a great review most interesting harry the best review I have seen grazie grazie Mille ciao ciao

Harry yet another fabulous review and a worthy car!

Totally agree about the styling and most other things you said. As a drivers car it's as good as a car can get, but it doesn't have anything really quirky or special about it. It's as if they tried to make it like the other German cars...

An Alfa and a V6...great recipe when made well...!!! 💪😁👍🔝🚗💨

Still one of the best videos about this Alfa 🍀

Nice to see a tasty Alfa on Harrys channel - he’s been an inspiration to me since the EVO days, so I’ve finally started my own Alfa Romeo channel to showcase the cars that I love too. Cheers Harry!

A new GTV6 based on the same platform with 8C/Zagato styling cues, yes please.

I wish I had 70k to splash out on a car, this one would be on the shopping list for sure

I had a 1958 Giulietta spider Valoce many years ago....I like how they subtly retro designed in the mustache look into the grill....Gorgeous car!!!

Thank you for the great tests. Great old style cockpit. Great car.

Harry once again you made the best review when is the Geneva motor show video coming

How could you turn off Super Freak!?!?

A bit starnge stance, maybe becuaase of the bigger rims. But so happy to see a RWD Alfa back. Great job Harry as usual!

Thanks for the timely review Harry. I'll be changing my AMG C63S coupe later this year and this is on the short list. We share the same local roads so also keen to give one a test in the next few months on the "Cirencester triangle". ;) Will be interesting to see this compares to the new M3 announced later this year.

I love this car, I want one. I also hope an Alfa Romeo 'Bigwig' is watching this video.

Damn quite harsh on the Alfa - seems like that's a lot of car for 70K. 191 top speed, in a 5 seater with a big boot and sub 4.5 to 62 mph.......and all in a comfortable car you can relax in whilst travelling hundreds, if not thousands of miles. I'd take one if I had that kind of money.

I've already seen 30 reviews of the same car,but this is the best one by miles.

Just the best Harry. Thanks.

It's nicely done...but that "nothing to do with Ferrari" stuff makes me chuckle.

Did Harry set it to race mode?

A great review with plenty of depth. Lovely car

Great review in my opinion.On what i think,is the best looking car in its field.Certainly wouldn’t say no to one if i was offered one

waiting for you to publish some Geneva motor show video

Probably my next car... as soon as I get a raise 😝

Funny thing happened. I just watched your video on your new purple jag and asked for a video on the Giulia and up pops this video. I remember seeing a few reviews of this car here in the states and they all said the brakes were bad (spongy?) and they changed them out for better ones. I've seen a few of these on the road here and I really like the look of them. Great review Harry!

Interesting review, great to hear your take Harry. One of the best looking cars on the road at the moment IMO, but agree there could be more drama. Have seen a few lower spec Giulias and had to double take. Hard to distinguish as a QV, especially from the front. So much more classy than an M3 though, love the image.
