I don't think I'd be confident to own one long term out of warranty, but so far, it's a fantastic car.
RWD, and a 4 cylinder turbo making near 300hp is a great starting point. The biggest downside to the Giulia is the low levels of aftermarket options and the questionable reliability after the 40k mileage point. In my opinion, BMW wants way too much money for a base 330i when there isn't much different than the previous F generation aside from gimmick features. They've become bloated, heavy, and packed with useless features. The M3 will probably always be king as far as midsize sedans go, but the 330i segment has a lot of competition now. Even Motortrend recently called the Giulia the modern 3 series. I genuinely hope the next generation Giulia doesn't get pulled from the North American market. |
