Reviews SummaryThe Giulia is a genuine sports sedan. It's best appreciated by people who love to drive and crave the feelings that emerge when they turn the steering wheel of a perfectly tuned car. If wine is wine and cars are just a means to an end, you won't feel anything extra from an Alfa Romeo. In fact, you'll be turned off by the Giulia’s outdated tech and cramped interior. Objectively, it's not the smartest buy in the compact luxury class. Emotionally, the Giulia is a dynamite car that hides its flaws and puts the driver first. | |
Reviews SummaryAfter a substantial refresh for the 2021 model year, the 2022 Lexus IS lineup returns with a handful of minor updates and a significant improvement in performance. The new Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance also debuts this year, packing a normally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 and laugh-riot driving dynamics. If you’re among the driving enthusiasts who miss the discontinued Lexus GS F, this is a credible substitute. | |
