Enjoyed it...thanks Sal. Think I'll go for a quick drivehi again here is another review https://youtu.be/wMWDAL4xlDs ENJOY!!!!![]()
Honestly Sal..having owned both and just driven the ZCP M3 at Monticello....hi again here is another review https://youtu.be/wMWDAL4xlDs ENJOY!!!!:grin2:
Took me a lot of fiddling around to figure out how to set more than 6 presets. 6 and above are not really presets, but favorites. Simple to access though by hitting the last preset which is marked with a star. That brings up your list of favorites. Set it by going to the station you want to store, highlight the favorite star with the controller and press down to add to favorites list..ie: real time traffic alot to ask Alfa??? or more than 6 pre-sets for my radio???...silly stuff like that...
You have to admit though having your car go into limp mode with a hard code CEL does not help your case, and while the majority of the journalists love the Giulia many (like forum members) have experienced issues with car which go to drivability...I think the Giulia is better than it's German counterparts. I know the BMW guys are butt-hurt over this, but it's true. The Giulia isn't just better by the numbers, or better in performance, nearly every automotive journalist that's compared the Giulia to others puts it on top.

Could not agree with you more...like any marque...the next gen should be better than the one it replaced from a performance dynamic...I expect that...but with each Gen of M...the driving dynamic changed...I'm an e46 M3 owner and absolutely LOVE that car. Every generation since then, while they have gotten faster/more "techy", has not done anything emotionally for me. Something was lost. And when they split into the M3/M4 nomenclature I felt a bit of the M tradition was gone. Just my opinion. I'm sure the F30s are nice (I think that's the new number designation), but just not for me. I wanted something different that no one else really had with a charismatic/beautiful body style, and still had the racing pedigree to match up with the C63 AMGs/M3s/ATS-Vs of the world. The QV checked all the boxes for me.
All true, but I think the latest flash revision takes care of those issues you have described (at least it did for us). That's a pretty simply fix, not nearly as bad as BMWs Nikasil issue when the had to replace entire engines.You have to admit though having your car go into limp mode with a hard code CEL does not help your case, and while the majority of the journalists love the Giulia many (like forum members) have experienced issues with car which go to drivability...
I love my car....even through the issue I had...that is why I did not give up on it....I knew it was something special...
but I was hoping we could be more objective and less Fan-Boy like you know...the other guys:grin2:>![]()
then you better get your ATS-V while you can....Cadillac announced that the ATS, CTS, XTS lines will be phased out...to be replaced by CT4, CT5 and a new SAV/SUV.....they claim that the V-Series will still be available but didn't say in what capacityAll compact luxury sport sedans right now are pretty awesome, I'm sure I'd be delighted with any of them.
But...for me it comes down to handling. So QV or ATS-V basically. QV is just so good looking!
Just wanted to chime in regarding a general lack of acknowledgement/respect regarding Cadillac's first effort in this segment. Like the QV it is very much performance/driving dynamics first, everything else second. Which I prefer.
I'll overlook a less luxurious/feature-laden interior to enjoy the actual driving experience more.
Thanks for the heads-up! People seem to be getting that confused with Cadillac again renaming everything. The next gen of Cadillac's compact luxury sedan will just be getting a different name...to keep the confusion going!then you better get your ATS-V while you can....Cadillac announced that the ATS, CTS, XTS lines will be phased out...to be replaced by CT4, CT5 and a new SAV/SUV.....they claim that the V-Series will still be available but didn't say in what capacity
Looking forward to hearing your choice. The Q is the most engaging, beautiful and thrilling car I've ever driven. In fact I'm inspired to go for a quick drive right now (that's never happened to me before)....bye!Thanks for the heads-up!

I was loving the ATS-V for a long time, but I think I've been swayed by the QV! I'm looking forward to driving both however & making a decision.
One of the worst decisions I've made is going on reviews more than my own experience (my 2012 Mustang GT purchase!). I won't do that again.
