Motorweek was also favorably impressed in their test drive. At around $70,000, the Quadroifoglio is out of my price range. I’d like to see their A4 equivalent tested.
The Giulia with the equivalent engine to the A4. As the article said, the Quattrafoglio is the equivalent to the M3, or maybe the Audi RS-3. I’m interested in the Giulia with the base engine, the one that most people would buy. It’s fun to read about super sedans, but most of us will never buy one. The A4 seems to be the favorite of most reviewers in the compact luxury sedan market, and I’d like a comparison.
The latest issue of motor trend has 2 comparisons with the Alfa Giulia, the main test is the regular version against the A4 and others. Of the 4 examples they’ve driven 2 have been fine and one had to be towed off the freeway, one other stalled getting in place for a photo shoot.
Yikes!
When you consider that the cars loaned to Motor Trend, Car & Driver, and Road & Track are provided to them by the manufacturer–after being very carefully prepped–it really makes you wonder about the reliability of the cars that the average purchaser will get.
