Quirky issues? You mean the problems with unreliability and cars breaking down? That’s not a quirk - that’s the result of a car rushed to market.
I LOVE the Alfa brand and I love how the Giulia looks and I’m sure if I drove it, I’d love it even more, but it’s 2017. There’s no excuse for turning out cars that break down - not when you’re up against Lexus, BMW, MB and Audi that at the very least, don’t do that 'till their 2nd owner.
There’s 1 year free maintenance … by the time ur 24 month lease is over u probably will do 1 more oil change or maybe don’t have to if u do 10k per year…
Take the risk in the alfa :)… right now its a rare car that catches a lot of attention
Maybe more than that if you have a alfa romeo Quad… basically the engine actually comes out of the Ferrari California…well 6 put of the 8 cylinders lol
The Alfa is to Ferrari what the Chrysler TC was to Maserati
Chrysler’s TC by Maserati was a “Q” body based on a modified second generation Chrysler K platform jointly developed by Chrysler and Maserati as a grand tourer and introduced at the 1986 Los Angeles Auto Show.
I drove one of those. Mine had a 5-speed manual and the “real Maserati” engine. I loved that car… until I forced Chrysler to buy it back under the California lemon law.
My understanding was that it was suppose to be a halo car to help drive sales of the yet to be released Labaron, with which it would share design cues. However, the TC was delayed and the Labaron was released first. So, the TC, when finally released, was too expensive and looked like a cheap Labaron.

Both are silver over black and the cars are virtually identical except one is AWD with the standard seats while the other is RWD and has the sport seats.
Personally, I am not fond of the 18" Sport wheels and I greatly prefer the dark 5-hole 19" wheels instead. However, I recognize it is a matter of taste and the 18" wheels might have a better ride.
I’m currently trying to work out an Alfa lease in upstate NY. The most recent email I got back form one dealer said “This includes a small discount on the car and $4500 of bonus cash” so it looks like the incentives may have gotten better this month.
Their quote was still pretty high ($517 with taxes and fees paid upfront for 24/10k on a $43k MSRP) so I’ll have to wait for the whole breakdown to see the rest of the numbers.
Not necessarily. I imagine the NY dealers have the same incentives that the NJ dealers had.
this included:
$2750 CONQUESt
$1000 lease cash
$750 additional conquest for current BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, and Acura owners. This last incentives varies by market. In the mid-atlantic (PA, MD, DC, VA) it was $250 while in other markets it is higher.
