Which one to get — and which to avoid
✅ The one to get
2026 Giulia Ti Sport, RWD, base 2.0L turbo-four with the mechanical limited-slip diff — the lightest, most reliable configuration with 90% of the driving joy of the QV.
🚫 Avoid
A loaded Quadrifoglio with carbon-ceramic brakes and every electronic option box checked — maximizes both repair complexity and depreciation.
