2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

The Giulia is Alfa Romeo's compact luxury sedan, the one that goes up against the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 with a sharper edge. It's the rare sedan that feels genuinely alive from the first corner, with quick steering and a chassis that rotates eagerly. The ride is on the firm side, especially with the larger wheels, but that's the trade for how flat it stays through bends. Inside, the cabin is driver-focused with supportive seats and a clean layout, though rear legroom is tighter than some rivals. Paired with the eight-speed automatic, it hits 60 mph in the mid-three-second range and returns 20 mpg combined. The optional active aero front splitter and carbon-fiber roof cut weight and add downforce, but the standard active suspension already keeps it planted through fast corners.
