I was trying to talk the wife into swapping the A3 for one of the AWD Giulia's and there is a dealership not 1 mile from my work so easy to get it to service, cause you know......it's an Alfa. LOL I always wanted an Alfa, as the Top gear guys say you aren't a real car guy until you've had an Alfa.
We test drove one the end of last year and even at $7000 off MSRP (it was a 2018 but still brand new, they just couldn't sell it, had several including a Quadrifoglio like that) we passed. It did NOT drive exceptionally well, not bad but nothing special. Brakes were bad but that was likely because of sitting and not sure if they did maintenance while it sat (would have asked for records if we had considered buying it). But it just did not 'wow' either of us, I could put an exhaust and a Stg 1 tune on the A3 instead and be ahead on cost, other than the stupid screen in the A3 and no Alfa badge.
