Alfa Romeo Giulia

Just make sure if you get the Quad Giulia it is made in 2018... they say most of the early problems were computer-flash things. But I had head that the build date on 2017 was best after June 2017.

 

I haven't seen one with them. The stock seats have adjustable bolsters and can already be very snug.

Considering the discounted retail on the '18s, there's nothing within $25k that comes close. I am a 'car guy' and admittedly it was under my radar, even though I had read the C&D 10 Best.

 

I have carbon seats and they look and feel amazing. But they are fairly snug and at 210lbs you may not find them as good as a fit.

You've got the colors backwards.

 

Haha didn't even think of that! Thanks for heads up

 

Nah! They are comfortable and just fine for average driving. I sat in them last year and the backs are beautiful of course. I just had to budget to some extent so the carbon seats and rotors were out. Carbon everywhere else short of N edition. I also wanted heated seats. The bolstering on the stock seats is very good. Pop out seat extender is nice too on stocks. The car I sat in at that time had a child's seat strapped in the middle back. That in itself was awesome!

where did you get the stripe? is it available in a longer strip? I would like to do the roof and deck lid to complete the look. I think it looks cool!

 

wow, thanks for compliment. most people ridicule it but I don't care and think its cool. found it on amazon under Italian flag car decal. don't know the exact link. was $12, came from china, and took 2 weeks to ship. tricky to install and can tell up close that it wasn't done by a pro but looks good from 5 feet. had about 2 feet left over so ordering 3 should make it over entire car. good luck!

 

Thanks for the input, fellas. Looks like I'd need to avoid the Carbon seats, even though there are some around the country discounted for big $$$.

 

I'm coming up on 1,400 miles. Feeling more comfortable with the car, although the tires are still unpredictable until hot.

One thing I was appreciating is that the top two gears are actually set rather high for a V6, so that when you're cruising at freeway speeds it putts along around 2k rpm like a V8 would. The torque is still fun, it takes off and passes other cars with ease.

 

Hungary or Italy, it's a pretty similar distance measured from ****ville USA…..

I’d sit in one first. Personally, I love them and think they’re quite comfortable. I’m 6’6” and 225. My father and I drove from CT to Watkins Glen for the FCA national meet 4 1/2 hours away with no issues.

There’s no comparison with the aesthetics. They look unbelievable.

 

Beautiful car. The seats do look amazing...

 

my car finally has the break in mileage so I am able to get on it and motor is ok. wish it had another 1000 rpms in it but its got some good push once it gets going. transmission is excellent and really responds to the paddles.

regardless, alfa must offer a 3rd motor option between the 280 and 500 hp. a detuned quad around 390 would be very nice.

 

Well 350hp will have to do. That will be here soon with the hybrid Giulia they are working on maybe in 2020??

 

I will take 350 but hybrid is wrong way to go. its too heavy a car as it is and without being designed for batteries in bottom of chassis, they will also raise the center of gravity.

 

cute ads

 

Looking from the driver's seat.....they are not backward!....lol

 

Agreed. Strange marketing. Both the Audi and BMW look like nice, decent cars and are shown for 90 percent of the ad. If it weren't for the last 5 seconds of seizure causing cut scenes, I'd hardly know it's an Alfa commercial.
