USED Alfa Romeo Giulia - The common problems and should you buy one? | ReDriven used car review

Bought my Quad in 2018, carbon seats and brakes. Sold it late last year after 50,000 trouble free kms, not a single warning light. Also scored my first 3 services free and 6 year warranty. Such a beast, best car I’ve ever owned.

Wow, never see jim be so positive towards a European car

We have a new veloce from 2023, replacing a merc 250. Much better than the merc to drive. Great car no issues first 12 months.

YES! buy one! I've owned one since 2019 and it is FABULOUS. No issues other than indeed a battery replacement and if you maintain it as prescribed it will put a smile on your face. You realise every time you drive something unique and beautiful and you'll look back at it every time you park it.

Had a Giulia Veloce on lease for 3 years, man I miss that car , Misano Blue , Yellow Callipers, 19” dark hole alloys . Every petrol stop would take ages because I’d get stopped by people admiring it and asking if it got the “Ferrari Engine “ obviously I had to explain it was a 4 pot but it just goes to show that even lower models than the QV looked exotic.

Thank you for a brilliant review. Have owned 3 Alfas over 34 years: a Berlina, an Alfetta and for 24 years a new 1984 Giulietta 2L. The last was only sold due to serious health issues. All were serviced regularly by specialist Alfa Mechanics and gave very little trouble. We so miss our Alfa still. As I pray for a miraculous recovery I so long to own a Giulia Veloce. Now all you have done is to increase my craving for one more Alfa before I die. You have a lot to answer for!

the italian movie scene was gold 🤣

So happy to see a positive non-italian review of this car, my car (as italian i must admit, we're not always very objective about italian cars). Unfortunately, in Italy is very expensive to own the VELOCE with the petrol engine (about 1k € of taxes every year and don't even get me started on insurance) so i've got a used, and wonderfully maintained, 2018 VELOCE with the 2.2 diesel 210 bhp. Still an amazing car to watch and to drive, no big drama so far in 2 years of ownership and almost 100k total

I put 50,000 miles on my 2018. No big issues, never replaced the battery. Sunroof did get “stuck” and wiring to the back up lights failed on one side. Car was so good, i bought another one in 2023!

I've certainly got my eyes out for a Quadrofoglio in green with the optional Sparco seats. Can't wait till it's in my price range.

I adore these! They’re beautiful and has far more appeal than a carpark full of BMWs and Audis. The Car Wizard over in the States has found the modern Alfas especially the V6 engine to be very reliable indeed! Great video dude

Loved the review mate, was great to meet you in person!

Took delivery of a Giulia Quadrifoglio just a couple of days ago. Amazing timing guys 😂😂 keep it up, you're doing awesome work!

HOORAY, I finally found a website that gives balanced and researched reviews. Well done guys, I don't care if my car does 5.4 or 6.4 seconds for 0 to 100. What I do care about is if it suits my needs as we are all different with different needs. I have owned a Giulia and now have a Stelvio mainly because at 6'4" I found it difficult to get in and out of and so did my missus. Loved the car and it was trouble free but it did not have height adjustable front seat belts like the Stelvio and a few other small things that convinced us to trade up. Keep up the good work on the website and I will keep suggesting it to my friends and acquaintances................cheers

I owned a 2017 Giulia Ti (veloce) and sold it at around 55K miles. It was the best car I've ever owned (I've owned 50), it was mostly trouble-free (I had to replace the factory battery, under warranty), and I only sold it because I needed something bigger. But I still regret selling it!

BMW “How about we do the opposite” 😂😂😂😂. SO true.

The Italians just make pretty machines!❤

I owned an Alfa 147 for three years in Dubai and everyone told me to get rid of it when the warranty was up. I never had a single issue with the car, but out of fear, I bought a Mercedes Benz C230K with an AMG kit in it. Worst car I ever owned, everything broke down or malfunctioned on that thing. After 18 Months I offloaded it for a Range Rover, kept it for about six months and got rid of it when I left Dubai. Probably a good thing too, seeing how badly reliable those things are. Now I drive a Kia Stinger. It’s been brilliant and trouble free.

I'd never swap my Giulia for a BMW Audi or even an MB, this car is simply brilliant in every way❤️

We love our 2021 Giulia Ti! After 2.5 years and 25,000 trouble free miles, most enjoyable car we've ever owned!
