If they didn’t have buckteeth, I might’ve bought a G82 vs G87.

Can you feel that? The inevitable forum descent into arguing the pros and cons of the QV? Again...
Disclaimer: I got no dog in this fight. Since QV lacks a MT variant, it was never an option for me. |

G87 is the best bang for the buck out there. Huge bonus points for it being available in manual as well.

From my multiple test drives: Quad>M2>M3. I drive a GTS 4.0 and Quad drives more like Porsche than BMW. Regarding manual vs auto, I'll be getting an auto so doesn't matter to me. They are all on the same ground in that regard.

Driven many G80s/G82s. Never driven a Giulia Quad. I’ll have to check one out.
EDIT: Nevermind. Shit reliability and 2024 is last year in the US - no thanks. That was quick.

My current M2 experience: What I don't like 1. Hard plastics everywhere. This stuff scuffs by just looking at it. 2. I hate how the s58 sounds. Valvetronic is the closest to sounding good, but the s58 in general just has some really crappy sounds to it ( I wish it sounded closer to the GT4) 3. I planned on modding and tuning the car, but the ECU lock and how the car sounds with downpipes are turnoffs. 4. I'm a bit annoyed that Zandvoort Blue, which I have, is not M2 exclusive anymore. 5. The brakes are really squeaky. 6. There isn't much room in the back for my daughter who likes to take trips with my wife and I. What I do like 1. It makes a great daily. I like in comfort the transmission is smooth, but you can set how hard it shifts in your M buttons. Between setting 1-3, it either shifts faster/harder or slower/smoother. 2. The stock seats are great 3. Dash screen is great 4. I like the unique look of the M2 and how it is differentiated from the rest of the lineup 5. At 6'3, it's easy to get in and out of with the long doors 6. Carbon roof is a must. 7. Gearing in the auto pairs really well with the s58. |

2017 and 2018 models were bad. Reliability afterwards is actually pretty good and no worse than a BMW or Porsche. Check out Giulia forums.

You may as well get their new Taycan, 4 doors and arguably drives better than 992. Even better their new Macan EV in Turbo form. Macan EV in Turbo still around $120K.

2. Change the brake pads, problem solved. 3. It is a coupe, though my 15 yr-old son who's 5'9" with long legs & size 12 shoes seems to fit back there without complaining. I don't think the Giulia is any better from a materials standpoint, and, imo from the exterior looks pretty cheap compared to the M2. A neighbor has one and it even with a carbon fiber rear spoiler, front lip, etc., it reminds me of an Altima or Camry. But it's a good thing to have choices.

Alfa QV is awesome.. I had a 2018 QV. I did back to back test drive with F80 M3 same day I took home the QV that night. The car it self has soul. But I personally got bored with flappy paddles, near end of lease. LOL. And the New G80 was out with manual. got it. great car. lease up on it. I had my eye on 991.2 T for some time. WOW. a porsche is porsche. no substitutes. but at $110k for 2018 car. was worry with needed porsche tax fund. Went back to G87 m2 manual. at half its price. with factory warranty. it was a no brainer. Especially when my better half say with new lease I can write off business tax. got to luv her. Would I buy a QV again? car itself, yes. But long term., more worry about warranty issues. and dealer is limited, probably not. Last Year of QV models.

Highly recommended, except when one is waiting on backordered brake pads because the stock ones can't get wet or they fuse to the rotor and the other has 2 screws in 2 tires, also backordered...sometimes your children own you!

They are both awesome cars in their own ways. So different, but I love them both.
