Mine is my daily driver technically but I own multiple vehicles and only drive a couple times a week typically.
Same here...but this one is so much fun to drive! I haven't made it to the two week mark yet and I already have over 800 miles on the ODO. Finding out really cool features in the Alfa Connect app for my 2022 that aren't on my wife's 2021.

What kind of cool features did you find? My Alfa Connect app doesn't seem to do much for my 2022

There's an "info" tab on the bottom left...at least on my iPhone app...that pulls up my car's fuel level, current odometer mileage, and tire pressures. The other functions are the same as her 2021 being the "remote" and "location" functions.

Turns out I'm having some type of issue with the app...and the website...since I have more than one Alfa.
 
I have a 2018 QV, and it’s been with the dealer about half the time that I’ve owned it, so that helps with keeping miles off :).

But, when it’s running I still don’t daily it. I have a Harley that I commute on most the time because gas is expensive and the bike gets 42 MPG and is a joy to ride. Staying out of the Giuilia also helps keep it fresh for me. When I have gone on stints of driving it regularly, the specialness starts to ware off. But if I only drive it every now and again, it’s always a blast.
 
Late 18 Giulia Quad daily driver here. Just went off warranty but I didn't bother getting an extension because the car has been perfect and I expect that will continue. This is a GREAT car!!!
 
I drive this car every day and it's great. Much more comfortable than the 911, which I used as a daily car before, and just as fun. I also almost stopped using my AR Spider, which I loved to drive in the summer.
Unfortunately for track days it's less suitable than a Porsche and I'm a bit disappointed, it's not possible to have one car for every day + track usage.
 
Mine is 100% DD and only one car in our family (short trips, longer trips 600km, track this September I hope) with 2 small kids 1y/4y on the board: in front and rear faced seats on the back.

Already made circa 6500km since January and absolutely love it (however in the city driving suspension could be bit softer as I'm feeling each hole in the asphalt with my R19 PS4S).

It is bit tight (had to consider safe and not too big seats) but we are managing well and kids really enjoy it, especially driving in the corners or roundabouts with controlled slides :) good that I did not went for alternative and boring RS4 Avant (was considering this before choosing QV). Would not choose anything different than Giulia QV, I just need to buy some stuff to have exhaust flips opened all the time
 
I've thrashed my daily for over 4 years now.
New 2018 which now has 82,000 miles.

Going in for a service and some problems on Tuesday...
 
I've been dailying the Giulia for a couple of months now, about 3k miles in and it's been an absolute blast. I'd hoped it'd be a very Jekyll and Hyde car and it certainly is, I find it remarkably comfortable on the commute and very quiet and subdued. But then I can switch it over to Dynamic/Race and it's a totally different beast. The H/K stereo is also a great thing to have, although it can be very easy to get carried away when the music and the car are in a raucous mood.

Really looking forward to summer when I'm hopeful that I can enjoy the car outwith the rain and cold!
 
Am semi retired by use my Alfa Quadrifoglio for some time. From Pat Braden's article Alfas need to run. The Italian tuneup may no longer be relevant but I don't take chances and drive like an older Alfa should be driven. The car respects you for it. (after warming up running gear parts of course0
 
I have a ‘17 that I daily about 10-12k miles a year. It’s been my grocery getter, road trip, and track car.. it does everything. I have the carbon ceramic brake package but put Giro Disk rotor and street pads on it for cost savings. The GiroDisk race pads were perfect for the track day and constant 150mph hard braking into turn 10A at Road Atlanta. The only thing that is frustrating is the brake by wire in the early models is impossible to modulate for a smooth stop. Also it jerks when starting from a stop a lot. Knock on wood at 48k miles and it has been rock solid reliable.
