ARE MODERN ALFA ROMEOS RELIABLE? LETS FIND OUT!

It is a myth. Alfas if looked after will be more reliable than a Merc or BMW. They don't use as many plastic parts in the engine bay as the Germans. Love Alfas

Mine is 2016 2,2 diesel and have almost 183000 miles. I'm the owner for about 4 years now and only issues a have was EGR cooler at 140000 miles and electronic hand brake wiring was snapped. Suspension, arms and bushings is still all original. Overall it is the best car that I own and my next car will still be Giulia. I just cant find a saloon car with such good driving dynamics. And yes peoples still thinking about Alfas like it was 30 -40 years ago. But if you look other brands what kind issues they or still have Alfas are actually really reliable among modern cars.

I have a 2015 Giulietta, my previous 156 & 159 were unreliable and I took a risk with the Giulietta. It broke down on the A303 with 235 miles on the clock. My first thought was here I go again. The air mass sensor cable had not been tied into the loom during manufacture and had been resting on the manifold. Nine years on, it has just passed its MOT for the seventh time without any work being required. The only non service part I’ve had to replace was the oil filler cap, the ratchet mechanism was causing problems £14.60 to replace. It is the most reliable car I have ever owned

The cars are reliable, the dealers are utterly terrible. Always find a good independent specialist like Neil to service your Alfa and it will last forever.

I have bought an early 2017 model with the 150 hp diesel and ZF gearbox with 199,000 km in Dec 2023... just to familiarize myself with these cars as I fell in love with the Giulia from the first days after its introduction. To my surprise, the interior looks fantastic, the suspension is all quiet, the engine runs perfectly fine and the car drives amazing. The only issues it has, still minor though, is the outside mirror's laquer that is peeling off, easily repairable. I have put nearly 7,000 km on it with 206,000 km right now and I cannot stop driving it. It's my first Alfa and it won't be my last Giulia.

In the late 70's , early 80's I had a garage and welded up, for MOT, loads of cars, it wasnt just Italian cars, everything rusted. If an Alfa Romeo breaks down in some way, its a case of "I told you those cars are unreliable!", if a BMW, VW or Audi breaks down its a case of "well, things do happen sometimes". The only problem we have had with our Alfa's was on a 159 1.9Jtdm, and all the parts which gave us problems were the German bits!

2018 Giulia Quadrifoglio, 62.000 km, trouble free apart from a solenoid valve in the left cylinder bank which was changed under warrantee 2023 Tonale Veloce, 8.000 km so far, trouble free 2014 Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde, 45.000 km trouble free 2010 159 TBi Ti, 65.000 km, trouble free 2006 156 2.0 JTS, 52.000 km, trouble free…. I could go back even longer… but nothing can beat my brother’s 1995 model year 146 TS which he drove for 355.000 km only servicing it once a year (just like I do too). Alfista dal cuore 🍀

Our 2021 Giulia Ti has been trouble free for 2.5 years and 26,000 miles! Best looking, best driving car we've ever owned! Makes me smile every time I drive!

Man I wish more folks would make the effort of integrating the infotainment unit into the dash as flawlessly as it's done here.

This channel and Car Wizard channel rate Alfa Romeo and Maserati highly!

I had a Giulia for 4,5 years, bought her as nearly 2 and 1/2 years old with 55000 kms. Sold her as nearly 7 years old car with 175000kms, no major issues at all, very solid car with automatic ZF transmission and 2,2 JTD engine. Very satisified

My Stelvio is 6 years old, very reliable!

2.2 jtd 180hp auto 205 000km Just came back from 2000km trip and i wish tomorrow can do another one, sadly i have work to do

Had a 2.2 Brera Prodrive which I sold last year at 145k miles. Over 5 years of ownership it was fantastic, never let me down, interior still solid and rattle free. A real joy to drive and trouble free to own. Made the mistake of buying a Mercedes - non-stop trouble, has broken down on me. In the first year of ownership it’s been off the road for 6 weeks between its many trips to the dealer. Never again, will be back to Alfa soon.

Currently own a 2005 156 2.0 JTS Sportwagon. It’s as sweet as a nut both aesthetically and mechanically. Just passed the MOT with a couple of advisories (front brake discs and dull o/s headlight cover.) Had the car 8 years, and it's a daily driver. And It’s in a very rare (for a SW) in Azzurro Gabbiano blue.

I've owned my 5 1/2 old Giuila Veloce for 3 years & had zero issues during my ownership. Now has 34K on the clock. Car is fantastic to drive & by far the best car I have every owned. Also have a 1999 TS which has never broken down in 7 1/2 years over ownership, just under 120K miles on the clock.

great video, will use it as reference when buying and inspecting a used Giulia :) Thank you

And in the background - Alfa 147... i'm looking forward to get mine 18 years one back from body-workshop to have a good time... 🤗

Ty, very detailed.

I’ve got a 2018 Giulia 2.2 with 117,000 miles on it, great car.
