DRIVE & PERFORMANCE

great on-center feel, quick turn-in, and, above all, is communicative. The car moves gracefully and with a full measure of agility on curves and roads with twists and turns. The balanced weight distribution allows the driver to feel the cars connectivity and athleticism.  I am reminded that experiencing the drive quality includes keeping the sound out and enjoying the sound system all the more.

INTERIOR: Lets start with the first impression. That attention-grabbing, luxurious red leather and black trim is an instant attention-getter. The other impressive surprise, at least for me is the start button; its on the lower left on the flat-bottomed steering wheel.

COOL POINTS

Long-term durability remains a big question mark, and Alfa’s reputation doesn’t instill much confidence. At at starting price of $37,995, Giulia bring additional excitement an an iconic style to the Alfa lineup which makes it all the more  enthralling. The Giulia is a lively and distinctive which is what it has to be in a very crowded and competitive class.
