Ferrari Powered Super SUV // 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio 

Absolutely.

Indeed.

Love Sarah's shows makes clear rerestoration and❤ modifications that only a person of her expertise cañ bring off. Bonus Miss I tune is witty, charming, graceful and strikingly gorgeous .

I'm half Italian too.. and I have a 2018 Stelvio ... 2.0L and I love it... this is awesome to see Sarah in an Alfa!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're proud of this junk? In 5 years it will be worthless & full of electrical problems.

As a Italian food enthusiast I am also proud😢

And all the Alfa haters will be swarming

@@luigig6256 What? Is there even thing like Alfa haters?

Looks like one of those shiny green beetles (the bug, not the VW). I love it too!

For sure.

AMEN

Both this and alfa's red are gorgeous

I agree with you about being an interesting color, but I tastefully disagree with you about liking the color.

Indeed

Disagree

🤔😳👍👍

With Sarah in full view, the car hardly matters in comparison.

*Alfa

@@dangraff8467 I'm very happy to be in a world includes imagination and possibilities. It's what fueled SpaceX.

@@dangraff8467 in europe any tuner garage can tune that for a Price between 500 and 800$ on dyno 510 => 560 and 700Nm on stock engine and it's juste stage 1 with exhaust , custom downpipe and tune 600hp are easy but for more it's became expensive because you need to change turbo :/ stock internal can deal with 750

I work at an Alfa Romeo dealership. In 5-6 years you probably wouldn’t want to own one of these even if financially attainable lol

@@JohnSmith-in1tt I don’t let dealerships work on my cars even when I buy them new, so for a technician to own one of these it’s a non issue!🙂

@@JohnSmith-in1tt In the 80s & 90s I used to work on 60s, 70s, and 80s Alfas, and I remember them being similar to British cars, in that if you drove them daily, you spent the weekend working on them. Lots of retorquing to fend off oil leaks, cleaning or replacing spark plugs, etc. Are they still that way or did they improve?

These cars never get old! They're as fun to drive now, as they were the first week we got them out of the dealer!

Also the complete secondary parking brake caliper is really nice, new vehicles often just have it incorporated and as someone who uses vehicles for 30 years I've often felt like having a "backup" so to speak is always smartest...

Do you know why you have doubts about Alfa Romeo reliability? Because you probably belong the vast majority of people that actually never had one but know they're unreliable because everybody says so ...or because of a cousin of a neighbor knows so. It has been very beneficial to the German car industry to keep that unreliable image - not so for the Italian car industry though. As a car enthusiast I've always admired the Italian ICE engineering, they've lots of patents and technology that every other brand also uses - maybe the most common example, being the 'common rail' on each and every Diesel engine. I've owned and been driving Italian cars all my life. They're quite expensive to own because of depreciation when you want to trade them, but unreliable? It's kind of the opposite.

@miks564 It could stem from hearing jokes on Car Talk for decades about Fiat standing for "Fix It Again Tony" or anecdotes about Ferraris and Lamborghinis being extremely expensive to maintain and having inconsistent quality from hand manufacturing. I take your point, though.

Yeah Alfa are very well engineered and reliable

@@CumminsVoortman Yes they are, but only a few know about it. Reliability only owners know about it. They mostly suffer from the usual electronic errors every brand suffers (suppliers are the same for every car manufacturer). And about being well engineered, only car enthusiasts that read about it and dig into their mechanical engineering solutions like the reviewer here in this video.

​@@stratfanstlthe brand might have a history of being unreliable but the Giulia and Stelvio are not any worse in terms of reliability vs. the competition. They've been around since 2016, plenty of data available that proofs this.

Tell Porsche, BMW and Audi, they don't send me any cars for review. Mercedes and Alfa seem to be the only exotic brands that do.

@@SarahnTuned making the calls now! 🎉

You really love "Alphas"?

@@3ducs Thanks! I hope james can spell his girlfriends name correctly!

@@dougt5357 😊 stands for: Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili

@@miks564 👍Now, for bonus points, tell us what SPICA stands for!

My 9-5 Aero Estate is available, just across town. 😊

@@randyallen2771 An estate aero? Omg the dream 🤩 would be awesome to hear her thoughts on it

SAAB.. what a sh*tbox they all are, my neighbour had 9-5 2006 all optioned one for ages for sale .. ended up in scrap yard for $100.. haha Saab just stay buried as noone would want your latest plastic creations.!

It pays to know how to work on the vehicle you own.

@@SarahnTuned agreed

..how else would something be constructed out of carbon fiber without a resin matrix? 😂 so no, what I said is plenty accurate. 👍🏻

@@SarahnTuned I ment only, that the resin component isn't heat resistant. The fibers, on the other hand, are. Nothing more. Sorry if you took that remark personally. 🤷‍♂

@cjsnylons - agreed on her Beauty.

The Ti is super underrated performance wise for the price!

Early models had manual but the automatic is very smooth, it's now standard. Besides, you have these amazing aluminium pedals right behind the wheel. Missing out on those would be a shame.
