This weeks review car is the Italian SUV the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, striking looks, amazing handling and available with a range of engines including the Quadrifoglio with well over 500bhp.
The model we had was the 280bhp version with DNA, capable of 0-60 in just 5.7 seconds, that's the same as an Escort Cosworth.
You may think you recognise the SUV, well that's because it's built on the Giorgio platform the same as the Giulia. The test mule for this vehicle was the FCA Maserati Ghibli back in 2014, and you'll probably remember we saw this being test at GoodWood FOS last year, randomly enough this is the same exact SUV we swooned over.
Our model is the Super version with Q4, Alfa's AWD system it has 2 Litre Turbo Charged engine delivering 280bhp, extreme luxury with the Milano Edizione edition and a driving experience that rivals a performance car.
Our model was just over £48,000, the range does start at just under £34,000.

Great review!
I am lucky enough to be able to work on these cars at my job! Although they are a stunning design, have decent engine power and torque, they do not come without their share of problems.
We commonly see these things in for an unbelievable amount RRTs and recalls. First week these things showed up to our dealership, we replaced an engine. Depending on what model you purchase, seat switches go bad a lot, we see a lot of washer fluid systems fail, steering racks, the list continues.
Not all is bad with Alfa though, the Quadrifoglio that you had mentioned is a monster. I've had to burnish the breaks on a couple of them (break from 70 MPH to 40 MPH then repeat 25 times.) They are extremely quick. The dial in the middle has 3 settings on all guilias, but the quad has an extra setting for race. When race is turned on, it turns off all stability systems and opens valves in the exhaust to great a far more aggressive sound.
Overall they are very nice cars! Although, I would expect them to be in the dealership quite a bit.
Keep up the quality content!

Sounds like an adventure working on and driving all those cars, FCA cars are certainly fun, and have the racing calibre and looks to match.

@planetauto Thinking about picking up the Giulia Quadrifoglio as the next car. A little more sporty and a little more nimble.

The quad is a great car. Fast, not bad mileage, decently priced for the performance. Just expect typical alfa romeo problems.
