I Spent A Week With A 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia | Here's Why I'd Buy One! 

Got the Giulia recently in Visconti Verde and can confirm it is a beautiful color!

Finally Eddie, you've come around to your senses! You finally reviewed my car. I've been enjoying my Giulia since 2017. I've owned 71 cars since 1974, and this sport sedan is one of the very best cars I've owned. Style, performance, gas mileage, the car has it all for a very reasonable price. Great review!

I’ve DD a Ti sport for the last 2 years, definitely still puts a smile on my face.

Green looks so good on this car. Giulia is so underrated among its competitors, but it drives better than all of them and hands down looks the best. Everyone talks about the Quad but I’d get the Ti Sport or possibly even the base.

Giulia is an amazing car. One of my personal favorites in this segment. Handling is incredible and I love how it’s off the beaten path. Rare and unique, not just everyone else’s 3 Series or C Class. LOVE that spec, too! Almost exactly how I’d get mine!

I got my 2020 Giulia in this exact color, and it's the color that drew me into upgrading from my first car. No regrets whatsoever, absolutely love it! Great vid!

A=Advanced efficiency. The Alfa is the best driving car in it’s class. Love mine!

Our Giulia, we have now for 3 years.. perfect car 🚗🚗🚗🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🚘🚘🚘

The cotton wood flying around is a cool effect, I know too well...It gets EVERYWHERE!! I love the color of that car.

Great review. I feel like a lot of reviews struggle with timing and being too long. But this was a good balance of info within 10mins. Excited to see whats next

Great job on this review. You communicated what changed without going into too much detail.

Great review as always Eddie. Enjoyed the update- much better interior & with you on the colour- love it.

You're still one of the best in giving car reviews!

I really enjoyed the editing and production of this video. Good work eddie!

To this specification, add the Q2 Performance Package option which includes a driver-adjustable suspension, a mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD), and [Wait for it!] shift paddles and then this car would be perfect.

it looks beautiful and elegant imo. Nice video Eddie

Very nice. Thank you so much for the review.

Nice to see your channel continue to grow!!

Great car. Great review. Alfa Romeo is a great brand.

BTW: here in Italy we have way more engines! 2.2 JTDM - 136hp Turbo Diesel 2.2 JTDM - 150/160 TD (hp depends on the production year) 2.2 JTDM - 180/190 TD (same) 2.2 JTDM - 210 Q4 TD (“Veloce” 2.0 - 200hp gas 2.0 - 280hp gas RWD or Q4 2.9 - 510hp Quadrifoglio The most common are the 2.2 150/160hp and the 180/190hp Turbo Diesel, only because gas prices and taxes based on the hp! Only fews can own the 280hp or the Quadrifoglio! Retail prices also are commonly higher than US. Base Model Giulia 2.2 JTDM 136hp (aka the fleet car) starts at 43’000€ The car in the video starts at 57’000€🤣

Good Job on the review

Great review, love the car! And to me it seems you like to color to :)

Excellent review, keep it up! I am just curious as to why you are disappointed with the current Bmw 3 Series, as a lot of people seem to like it ?

The mandatory trigger fwd to reverse is to avoid false maneuvers like those reported AMG getting thru the wall of a parking lot at the fifth floor and hanging out there as only the bonnet got thru... I saw also a driver parked and idling with an A8 limo making a false movement and hurting a few persons in the move. So, the locking trigger with its small delay timer prevents those incidents but must be moved in sequence which is a bit annoying but is also a lot safer. The Ghibli was already criticized by test drivers ignoring this safety function and it got reprogrammed faster, but this ZF 8HP gearbox is so responsive and fast that such protection of undesired shifts is welcomed, and the trigger justify and reminds you : "do you really want to change direction" yes or no? Before it's too late...Once you drive with the shifter stuck on drive pos. you forget it. One last word about sensitive brakes hard to modulate on Quadrifoglio and many Alfa, it is nice because it's so light that you can drive them bare feet in summer but the braking deceleration also move your body forward which increases the pressure onto the brake proportional to your own weight. so that my light wife didn't notice it but heavier, I prefer to tight well the seat belt and drive with round toes driving shoes pivoting and gripping better onto the floor. Again something different to get used to, but great and that is also how and why we like those unique cars...

Drove a G70 and it was good but the Giulia TI Q2 sport handles better with a more supple ride and better steering

Great review Eddie. Love the Giulia. How would you compare it to the recent Cadillac cars?

I’ve got a 2020 veloce. Yep, it’s amazing.

Great review - thorough and to-the-point. I keep telling myself, the Sport trim with paddle shifter is better. But, at my age, I'd probably enjoy the posh Lusso trim (in Verde Visconti!).

I could not agree with you more. I have driven BMW 3 series for more than 8 years (E92, F31). But when I had to choose my new lease car a year ago, I made the choice for an Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce (Ti sport in the US) diesel. Stromboli grey outside, red leather inside. It is such a pleasant, engaging car to drive, like the former 3 series used to do. Who cares about infotainment, if a car like this drive the way it does...

Giulia the best! The best! Beautyfull car!

Great color choice

I just bought one 3 hours ago best car ever so far its practical but sporty i cant explain it. Im 21 and bought one for 28k

Beautiful spec.

Please do more videos like this

"'You forgot to point out that leather is an extra cost option in Mercedes C Class

You should try to get a review on the new IS and TLX that just came out!

Definitely a sexy car. I like your GT350R better though. :)

If you could sqing a Giulia with the carbon package, that would be dope.

Regarding the shift paddles: Those would have been part of the Performance Package which would have added a driver-adjustable suspension and a mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD) as well. An option this particular Ti Lusso does not have.

That's a Dahm nice shirt!

It’s GREEN!

I can't find one in green to save my life!

The Green in my opinion doesn't show the sporting character of the car did you saw it in red(Rosso Alfa) with black interior and if you order the Veloce TI with the carbon parts and the rear wing looks Amazing.

FYI: This particular "Ti Lusso" does not have the optional "Q2" Performance Package {driver-adjustable adaptive suspension and a limited slip differential (LSD)] which would have included shift paddles. PS: I own a 2018 Ti Sport Q2 in Trofeo White Tricoat Metallic over red leather .. my sixth AR since 1969 ... all but one purchased new.

I get your headrest point 😄

I wouldn’t mind owning one but I need to do more research on maintenance cost of ownership. There isn’t much info on that.

Eddie since you liked the Giulia Q so much compared to the competition, will you actually consider owning the car as a daily?

Eddie Dahm💪🏼

The Quadrifoglio is the cheapest Ferrari you can buy, yes, the CHEAPEST. It a Ferrari in all but the badge.

Can u get the tan interior with the sport?

What is reliability like tho

@8:47 His 3 Top cars in this segment, no particular order. Alfa Mercedes Genesis A Genesis over a BMW??? Yea ur smoking crack! I say that playfully. Awesome channel, great review! I wish u the best! 😀😀😀

Can you get the touch screen in the 2018 model?

I would love to own but scared of maintaince bill.

Stunning looks, just a shame that italian cars has ”that” reputation about reliability 😢

You know this reminds me of the Cadillac Catera my mom had back in the late 90’s. Same color outside and inside and oddly they are kind of shaped similar. Hopefully it doesn’t overheat itself and burn up like her Catera did back in 2000. So many parallels- It’s resale was horrendous just like this one!

🗝

amazing car, but i think you should have added paddles in the steering wheel, it's another experience

Genesis is a new brand with 0 interest to people that love cars :)

Was this a press car? Didn’t think Alfa had them.

4:09 shit paddles? 🤣

Wheres Parker?

" .... and even more importantly .....", please.

It’s aight

I wonder if you bother if in 10 years this 50000 euro car will cost in the market just 3000 euro. Otherwise is an excellent car.

It looks good until a cop tells you to put on front license plate....

0:46 my F-150 does 0-60 in 5.7 lol

exotic front with Corolla rear designs...plus the tire is too thin..

one week tester eh give it back asap before it breaks down

Had a giuila 2.2d speciale (which is the sporty trim here in uk)for 3 and bit years .. good car , stunning looks .. but also a nightmare with build quality issues and issues with the dealerships here in uk regarding service quality... just got a c300 and happy to be back in a merc .. still love Alfa’s ... but it came with its problems

I think the wheels on this model are a bit too small and make the car look quite awkward, otherwise it’s a beautiful car, reliability likely isn’t great, but if you can get a good lease on it, it’s probably quite a good take

but does the door still holds a tube of toothpaste?

Scotty Kilmer would absolutely not approve!

Nice but.....GT350R!!!!!!!

I would drive one but never own one because it's actual garage will be the service department at the Alfa dealer

Isn’t the reliability of a Giulia crap?

That's amusing an American car reviewer criticizing a european car interior quality.....

Alpha Romeo is at the bottom of nearly every reliability chart of have researched. Hard stop no go.
