Hi All,

I am curious. Are you guys driving your Quadrifoglio every day as your primary driver? I have acquired a Q.V. and also have a 4 year old Audi S5 (which is really fun too). Debating if I keep the Audi around as a DD or have you gone all in on your Q.V.?

Daily drive. Can't wait to drive it daily. Making my wife very happy too, when I go to Kroger, on the QV, every time that she asks for something. Washing it twice per week as long as temps are above 32F !!!!!

Hello, we have two QV as daily drivers. Mine is 8/19 and has now 19.000km, my wife’s is 1/20 and has now 4.000km.
Absolut perfect cars as daily drivers, no problems and the car with best spread. Can be a comfortable car but also a aggressive beast. Much better handling than the M3.
Only thing is no indicator buttons at the steering wheel, when driving I was always looking for them at the beginning :) it feels like a Ferrari when driving, absolute fantastic.

Daily driver. However my work doesn't involve a daily a commute.

The only time I ever had an issue with the car was when it sat for 2 weeks (with the battery plugged) on my return the blower for the ac/heat stopped working and needed to be replaced. Anyway I bring this up because I've read multiple times that Alfas need to be driven and the gremlins appear when the car's aren't being used - superstitions? I don't know, but the more I drive this car the better it gets.

2018 Giulia QV, 11.7K miles at the moment. Not a DD, commute 100 miles a day for work and have a mini ford focus for that. I do take it out on my days off for daily runs or the gym.

One day a week I usually leave it overnight on the battery charger.

The only problem I encountered so far is a bad fuel pump that needed replacing. I believe its a common problem though.

I have just now decided to make the QV a daily driver.
Had a 4 door Volvo S80 as a beater to do sales calls and long distance trips.
Needed a 4 door to carry my precious but invalid dog in the back seat.
M3, M5 and QV were the options.
Because I do sales calls to homes I didnt want a flashy car where the home owner thinks I charge too much to afford one. No Mercedes or Aston for example. BMW marginal.
IMO a black QV can fly under the radar. We will see. Perhaps keep it filthy ? ;)

Life is too short.
I'm a dedicated life long car guy.
So enjoy the moments.

mine is a daily driver, already for 3 years!
Also in the winter for the ski-holidays in the Alpes. It's great fun driving it in the snow (with winter tires).

God the ragging I've got over that bloody flag! Glad I took the Porsche flag down when I replaced it with the Quad. No knowing what two flags would have caused. I was lazy & didn't take it down when I replaced the BMW with the TI last year. Yes, it's been there over a year. In hindsight I should have photo-shopped an Alfa flag at the very least before posting. It was a good laugh though-even at my expense.

I would have far perfered the Porsche flag. I'll get one again someday once I no longer need to carry baby seats. Great cars and the 992 is pretty damn hot.

@alphalfa we were just pulling your legs! :) no harm really. I've also had a few bmw's but they were turning into Camry so no more. It's still one of my highly respected car manufacture that, unlike Alfa or most manufactures, they are still mostly an independent automobile manufacture.

That said, i need an alfa flag as i don't even have one like you do :)

I just bought one this week (3x5') to Sea Breeze Trading Company, Inc. via Facebook and for a $15 PayPal.
