Replacing the Stinger

[Marcelo]

Jeremy Clarkson bought a Quadrifoglio which tells me it must be an incredible machine since he could buy just about whatever he wants and he's driven everything under the sun.

I saw this episode. First time he return the car and went to the dealer to buy one.

But Fiat(ops, Alfa) is so stupid, they create a new version of the TI, exactly the same as the Giulia. I saw it last week(MSRP 50k), only doesn't came with the quadrifoglio badge.

Which is funny as he’d always bash the interior of the alphas.

I can’t get past the FC union. Other than Jeep/ram, I’d never buy any FC vehicle. Too many people I know had bad fitment / reliability. And they have way too many variants to even know what the hell you want to buy (before even talking options).

I used to drove a lot of Fiat.
I always had problems with them.
Assembly issues, maintenance issue and etc.

Once, in a highway, driving to my mother's house. My car couldn't reach 30miles hahahaha.
With this car, I went 16 times to the dealership in 6 months.

Alphas are popular on the Stringer forums.

Thank you everybody for the advises.
Seams the better is drive the Stinger for at least one more year.



I really like it, nice interior, powerful. But what scares me the depreciation. Seams the Americans have something again the Alfa.(And I understand, FIAT is very complicated ahahha)

Then get a used one. Sounds like you can get a great deal because you say they depreciate so much. Buying new is for fools anyway.

I was really excited to discover the Alfa, until I (a) realized there is ONE (inconveniently located) dealer in the state of Georgia, and (b) discovered there is zero leg room behind the driver with the seated adjusted for my average 5'11" body. Not "very little". Zero.

Considering I will continue with the Stinger and I will buy a funny car for weekends with a restricted budge of 40k.

What you recommend?

Hyundai Veloster N a lovely toy car! Awesome performance for the price another home run from these Koreans.

I'd look for something different and impractical haha Something you'd otherwise never buy as a daily driver.

Hey I bought a Stinger new so I hear ya. Im just saying if the poster is worried about depreciation why is he insisting on a new car?

I suggest the Pontiac Aztek, which should comfortably fit that budget. I've always thought that was a funny car.

Clarkson's been an Alpha nut since day one. Its just another toy to him. I don't know about the new Alpha's but the old,old ones just fell apart, they had rust issues.
