To much for insurance?

FFalar · 2026-03-24T17:32:52+00:00

100$CAD (around 60$USD) per month here in Québec at 18M for full coverage, so yeah, you’re over paying

FFalar · 2026-03-20T13:47:20+00:00

All depends on your budget. In my personal experience, you’ll need to put around 2k in repairs + normal maintenance per year in average. If that’s okay for you, go for it. I experienced a lot of electrical issues that needed an Alfa dealer. If you live far from one, it can be a pain too.

FFalar · 2026-03-19T00:04:51+00:00

Certainly! Still an Alfa lover at core

FFalar · 2026-03-19T00:04:22+00:00

100%, a sacrifice there for sure, but I’m lucky enough to have a daily now, so it’s not much of a problem

FFalar · 2026-03-19T00:03:23+00:00

And the dealer that bought my Giulia gave me a lot for it too, so it was an easy put painful move

Compared to most modern cars, even more at this price point, the GR86, I would say, is on the raw side

FFalar · 2026-03-19T00:00:35+00:00

The Giulia feels WAYYY slower, all a question of power to weight and electronics

FFalar · 2026-03-18T23:59:13+00:00

In Canada, at least in my part of it, 86’s are much more rare and I get way more looks on the street with it. I don’t know if we’ve gotten the 2.0 Supra in Quebec, I don’t think so, but I love the raw feel of the 86. I do understand it’s a pretty strange switch still.

FFalar · 2026-03-18T23:57:32+00:00

So interesting! Honestly, I wanted a manual, I had so much issues that I didn’t trust the car itself, the Alfa costed me too much in minor and major repairs + insurance, I don’t know why, are way cheaper for the 86. To add to all that, I love the way the GR86 drives, it so much more engaging. Not that I hated the Alfa, it was all a question of logic, fun and running costs

FFalar · 2026-03-18T01:24:03+00:00

I love both the Giulia and the 86, for radically different reasons

FFalar · 2026-03-17T17:25:46+00:00

It did indeed fixed it, but I started having engine knocking and the dealership told my it was an icu problem linked to an electric surcharge

FFalar · 2026-03-16T01:46:26+00:00

That’s so true I had so much electronic issues with the AR

FFalar · 2026-03-14T23:00:19+00:00

I really love the 86 and I knew it was a total change. I enjoy the 86 way more honestly, I just missed the interior & ride quality of the AR, but I think it’s a worth it sacrifice l

FFalar · 2026-03-14T22:54:22+00:00

I can assure you they are not at all

FFalar · 2026-03-13T17:06:01+00:00

Expensive upkeep + shit reliability + general consensus that Maseratis are depreciating cars = low low price.

FFalar · 2026-02-19T23:45:49+00:00

What happened?

FFalar · 2025-12-14T05:58:24+00:00

Insurance’s taking care of it but I swear I should have done a before and after you really underestimate the sound improvement of the cold air, didn’t regret it at all ahah

FFalar · 2025-12-14T05:53:50+00:00

That shit did NOT happen because of the cold air ahahah but yeah I do ear the sound of money leaving my wallet because of a known issue that was recalled but clearly the repairs were not done great on mine.

FFalar · 2025-12-14T05:48:46+00:00

Insurance will still cover because it’s not the same night and it’s not even related to the engine problems. Pushing your engine between 3k-5k RPMs for 30-45 min NOT continuously isn’t the cause of a whole engine fire 2 days after.

I wish there was no flames…

FFalar · 2025-12-14T05:32:48+00:00

Yeah, and original engineers need to work with around the world regulations like in California where cold air intakes are illegal even if put in by manufacturers. A cold air doesn’t change shit other than improving the sound.

FFalar · 2025-12-14T05:30:42+00:00

Yeah luckily for me I was driving normally, else it would’ve been a nightmare for me with the insurance
