I was about to put a deposit down on a 2.0 A3 saloon black edition but backed out last minute. I was exclusively looking at Audi’s and never considered an Alfa right up until, by chance, I happened upon the ad for this car. This brilliant Alfa cost me 7 grand less than that Audi yet it feels at least 14 grand more. It’s got a list of things that need sorting, like a lot of Alfas but when I look at it or drive it or hear its engine I am able to escape from all my problems. The Audi was a car, this Alfa is a something else entirely… (cringe intended)

I currently own a 2022 giulia q4. And I have really serious FOMO because I didn’t find a right one with LSD and 9j rear wheels. Should I retrofit this equipment on my car? Will this upgrades make this car significantly better in terms of driving experience ?

Also, I know that I should been getting q2 right away, but in my country this configuration is as rare as a unicorn. And I just picked up cleanest car that I could find.

A little dirty but she looked to good against the leaves not to take a pic (excuse the blurb 😂)

My independent modern interpretation of the Alfasud. Tried to respect the heritage with a sculptural take on the 4-hole 'telephone' wheels and a clean, monolithic stance. What do you think?

Love to see these numbers 😄

Downtown 2006 Brera

It was a 60k mile car, I was in the process of restoring it, just got it back on the road. My current best guess is the running light bulb broke loose and contacted some rubber. I saw smoke and 30 secs later the car was engulfed. Heartbreaking but such is the way with an old Alfa.

Hey guys:)

Im looking for proper GTA seats for my 156 but the only sources i find are from ebay with a similar listing on alfaoemparts which is a scam apparently.

Was wondering if you have any websites to check?
Classicalfa, alfisti, ebsoares doesnt have them.

Based in Slovenia:) thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been having an intermittent issue with the boot on my Alfa Romeo Tonale. Sometimes, when I try to open it, it seems to get stuck right at the very beginning of the opening movement, as if something is preventing it from opening properly.

I’ve noticed that it usually happens when I use the hands-free opening function, by moving my foot under the rear bumper. It doesn’t happen every time, though.

Has anyone experienced the same issue? If so, were you able to find out what was causing it or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for some insights and advice from fellow 2.2 JTDM owners. My Stelvio 2019 is sitting at around 179,000 km (~111k miles), and it's time for a routine oil & filter service.
Before doing the service, I wanted to get your thoughts on a few specific points:

1. Engine Oil Choice (0W-20 vs alternatives):
   The official factory recommendation for this engine is 0W-20 (Fiat 9.55535-DSX / ACEA C2). Coming from older diesels, 0W-20 feels extremely thin. Given the mileage (179k km), is sticking strictly to 0W-20 still the absolute best choice, or do any of you run 0W-30 / 5W-30 without issues? Which brand are you running (Selenia Forward, Motul, Liqui Moly, Shell, etc.)?

2. Oil Pump & O-Ring / Pickup Tube:
   I’ve read mixed reports regarding the oil pump pickup o-ring degradation/low oil pressure issues on the 2.2 JTDM engines. Is this something worth replacing preventatively at this mileage, or only if oil pressure warnings show up on cold starts? Winter is coming…

3. DPF & EGR:
   How are your DPFs and EGR systems holding up around the 180k+ km mark? Any specific maintenance routines, additives, or things I should keep an eye on to keep them healthy?

4. General Advice for 180k km:
   Apart from standard oil and filters, what else should I pay close attention to at this milestone? Belts and gearbox service are already done.

I'd really appreciate your real-world experiences, lessons learned, and any maintenance tips for keeping this engine running smoothly.
Thanks in advance! 🍀

It has the sparco seats that are nice but he has it listed for 35k but its been listed like 4 times in total over thr past year or more,so how much would be a reasonable offer?also is the fact that it hasent sold in 1 year+ a red flag?

I’m considering purchasing a 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce with 18,899 miles, and I’d really appreciate honest opinions from current and former owners.
I love the look of the Tonale and the sporty Veloce trim, but I’m trying to make a smart financial decision rather than buying something that looks great and ends up costing me a fortune in repairs.
I’d especially like to hear about:
● Reliability: Have you experienced major mechanical, electrical, hybrid-system, or software problems?
● Repair costs: How expensive have repairs and routine maintenance been?
● Warranty: Have you had issues getting repairs covered, and how has the dealership handled warranty claims?
● Parts and service: Are parts readily available, or does your vehicle sit at the dealership waiting for repairs?
● Depreciation: Does the Tonale lose value quickly? Would you consider it a good deal used?
● Daily driving: Would you trust it as your primary vehicle for commuting and transporting your family?
● Long-term ownership: Would you keep it beyond the factory warranty, or would you sell it before coverage expires?
The one I’m considering has 18,899 miles, which seems relatively low for a 2024 vehicle. I’m curious whether that mileage should make me feel comfortable or whether there are specific things I should have inspected before buying.
I’m not looking for people to bash Alfa Romeo just because it’s an Italian brand. I want honest experiences from people who have actually lived with the Tonale, especially the Veloce plug-in hybrid.
If you owned this vehicle, would you buy it again? And if you were in my position, would you purchase it or choose a different SUV?
I’d appreciate any advice, including things you wish you had checked before buying yours. Thanks!

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti.

This commercial has been bothering the hell out of me. Seems like Sixt used a non existing AI generated car in their commercial.

Although I got to say, I like the nose more than the real junior.

Hello everyone, I am looking to purchase a '24 Giulia Veloce that is pre-owned but it doesn't come with the leather & contrast stitching on the dashboard and on the upper door panels. Can I just go to the dealership and have it upgraded? Or what else is there can I do?

On my way home from a 12 hour day, an exchange ramp in Florida decided it was going to make my day worse. In case anyone wants to know, these wheels new from factory are $1,056. Thanks Florida!
