r/AlfaRomeo

Of course, there are plenty of other car models, service manuals, spare parts catalogues and more...

Hi all, I am currently driving a Stelvio quad as a daily suv. Recently got my front radar unit stolen in a theft attempt (in a secured carpark….)

This makes me think if I want to change to another vehicle to avoid these type of targeting again due to the known issue. I heard there is a fix to put metal plate in blocking theft assess, but don’t think it’s worth doing it on my 2019 due to the cost.

So the question is - should I get a new Stelvio quad with the metal protection upgrade, or go straight to another brand. I was looking at the dbx 707 used, but I wondered how will the driving be.

Has anyone tried both and can give me some insight on how they compare in driving dynamics, country lanes driving mostly for fun drive. The two options here are not too much indifference in price.

Best,

I owned a 2022 Giulia and loved it and have had a few vehicles since then but nothing drove like the Alfa. I need an SUV for a couple of reasons and thinking of a Stelvio or Mercedes GLC300. I can get very aggressive leases on retired loaner vehicles with servicing included on either at a similar price. Both come close as far as power, Mercedes is only a couple of points slower but has the mild hybrid so gets better mileage but I push cars and enjoy and appreciate the way they drive. I know an SUV obviously doesn't hold the ground like a sedan but is it overall the same?

I'm planning on getting a used 2023 Stelvio Ti with about 19k miles on it. What are maintenance costs like on this vehicle?

Need some advice from someone to make sure it’s a good buy before i purchase, 2021 49kish miles. I’ve never really purchased any car above 30k miles before but it’s the closest one to me and I love everything about it, only the mileage I am hesitant. No warranty nothing. Is it worth the possible headache that comes with high mileage?
