In this review of the 2018 Alpha Romeo Julia QV, the team at Regular Car Reviews dives into the essence of this Italian stallion. They dissect its design, from the quirky stop-start button on the wheel to the unconventional gauges that seem straight out of a video game. Despite initial doubts, the car's performance leaves them pleasantly surprised, with its 505-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine delivering a thrilling driving experience. The rear-wheel drive setup adds to the excitement, making it a true driver's car.
Delving deeper, they uncover the maintenance challenges that come with owning this beast, shedding light on the high costs associated with routine tasks like changing the accessory belt. The owner's journey of importing a Eurospec version from Italy adds a touch of exclusivity to the narrative, showcasing the lengths enthusiasts go to for their passion. Modifications made to comply with US regulations further highlight the car's unique story and the dedication of its owner.
The team explores the Alpha Romeo Julia QV's distinct features, such as the electronic e-brake and active splitter, which enhance both performance and driving dynamics. The real engine sounds emanating from the 90° V6 engine add to the visceral experience, contrasting with the artificial sounds found in many modern vehicles. Despite its quirks and maintenance costs, the car's charm and character shine through, making it a compelling choice in a sea of competitors like the BMW M3. The review concludes with a nod to their Patreon and the announcement of their new podcast, "Regular Friends," inviting viewers to join them on their automotive adventures.
