If you can share a few things about your ownership of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, what would it be? The most liked or hated, share them with every one I am sure you won't be the only one. :smile
Agree on the lack of seating angle adjustment, though with the sport seats it doesn't bother me, the standard seats were unacceptable to me for that reason.I am very happy with just about everything with my Stelvio other than shortcomings of infotainment (covered in another thread) and these 2 things:
1. The brakes when coming to a complete stop. Seems it is often impossible, or nearly so, to bring the car to a smooth stop without there being a jarring moment during the deceleration. It really only happens when stopping but it's a tad annoying.
2. I have a Ti (without sport option). Seems the car I drove before I ordered one had way more ways to adjust the driver's seat. It didn't bother me at first but I have suffered from sciatica a time or two and have discovered that the bucketing of the seat (knees above waist) can significantly contribute to discomfort. After driving the car for a couple weeks, I have already had some issues and discovered that there is no way to adjust the angle of the base of the seat. It only goes 4 ways -- up, down, forward and backward. That's not good!
Thumbs up to everything on the Stelvio except 2 things:
1. Don't like infotainment system. Its too basic for this level of car. As someone said before its dated by 5 yrs!!
2. I have tried every way i can to exit the car without rubbing my calf on the lower plastic molding that runs along the sides. I find it very very annoying.
Stelvio fan: You have the same desires as I do! I would like a chrome V, color Alfa on steering wheel, and a raspy Alfa exhaust.Dislike:
The silver V on the front is plastic. It will look so much better in real chrome like the old Alfas.
No color Alfa logo on the steering wheel
The 1 second pause of nothing after you pressed the ignition button doesn't inspire confidence especially on an Italian car
