Your loaner car will put more miles on it than your own..Source former Stelvio owner

Love the design, unsure about reliability, I would own one as a 6th vehicle if they ever make a new sports car.

Quadrifoglio yes. All else, hard pass.

I always thought they were pretty. But the reputation of shit reliability combined with the relatively high cost is enough to pass.

I test drove one and opted for the Mercedes. I actually thought I’d like it, the Stelvio, that is. Then I drove a Mercedes GLC 300. Not all that much more expensive, but really so much better. And the Alfas still have that stupid-looking shark fin antenna, which I loathe. That alone will make me pass a car over.

You must drive slowly.

Design is nice, but reliability is suspect.

They’re great. Just make sure to get mopar maxcare. Very inexpensive actually. Check the forums for contact to purchase from.

Well, if you can’t even spell the brand properly…

I mean, the Giulia is still somewhat interesting, but for the same price ballpark, the 3-series/A4/S4/C-Class are better in nearly every measure on paper. The Giulia is beautiful to look at, though. I’ll give you that.

The rest of Alfa’s North American lineup is rebadged Stellantis (Fiat/Jeep) junk. Hard pass.

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?
