Basically the title. We always hear about how great Porsche, Honda, etc. are, but what are some brands that don’t get enough love?

    People continue to clown on Alfa Romeo because of their cars from decades ago + the quadrifoglio being unreliable, but by all accounts the Giulia is one of the best mixes between fun and luxury in the current sedan market even with the age of that platform. If not for their terrible and ever-changing trim scheme making it impossible to tell if they have cooled seats. I’d be seriously considering one right now

      My neighbor has a Giulia and it’s gorgeous. I steal a glance at it every time I walk by.

      I can confirm, they are a blast. And to save you any confusion, I do not believe any of the US trims have cooled/ventilated seats, with the exception of the Estrema special edition.

        Perhaps sad to report, but no Giulia or Stelvio can be equipped w/ventilated seats. The smaller Tonale, however, does have the option, but cannot be equipped w/heated rear seats. The features by vehicle in the lineup are baffling.

          Good to know! I was under the impression the leather package in the Estrema included the ventilated seats, but I guess it is just an option that doesn’t exist. Would have been odd tbh to have the function in a single limited trim.

          The wild part is that the Maserati Grecale has access to cooled seats, HUD and 360 cameras and it is based on the Stelvio. All features that the Stelvio lacks.

      one of the best mixes between fun and luxury

      Many reviewers say the same thing about the Kia Stinger and Acura TLX
