2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Base 2.0L turbo gasoline
Summary:
The Perfect Sports Sedan!
Faults:
Nothing. Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this wonderful car!
General Comments:
This car is everything I was hoping it would be. I have a rare color... the Monza Red and base model trim. But I have to say that I don't even care because it is such a great looking car from any angle, handles beautifully, has easy-to-understand controls, makes a great sound, and is unique. Alfas have always been a little quirky and this car might not be as quirky as previously-owned models, but I don't care! I love this car!
The chassis is absolutely perfect... zero flex. It is rock solid and sporty without being harsh. I leave it in "dynamic" mode all of the time and frequently use the auto-stick gear shifter.
It gets great gas mileage, too! The only car I would ever even think about replacing it with would be an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrofogli!
This is a brilliant sports sedan.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I wonder if the superlatives in this review are realistic or are more of a subjective view of the owner. After all, it's all a matter of taste and comparison with the previous cars owned. That said, I've seen a Giulia in a parking lot, red color. Without a doubt, the exterior design of these cars stands out by a distance when compared to the competition. No other mass production affordable sedans come close to the exterior design of an Alfa Romeo. However, I was not impressed by the looks of the interior. The dashboard and the instrument panel behind the steering wheel did not impress me. These are too 'average' without character and without standing out of the average 'luxury' sedan interiors. It is disappointing knowing that the exterior designers did such a distinctive job. Italians have always been the best in industrial design, since many decades ago. The Italian interiors from the 60's through 80's were so simple yet so nice and with character.
