Mine is a daily driver. Absolutely love it but may need something bigger soon unfortunately.

 

I drive it when it's not raining and never in Winter.

 

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.

 

Jerks to a stop even in M?

Knock on wood, no problems.

 

We have close to 22-23K miles on our 2019 and have only had one real issue which I believe was caused by the dealership. but car gets driven almost everyday and knock on wood it is on the OEM battery. Not a ton of miles we live in kind of a small town.

 

I drive mine daily. 34k miles and going strong. No issues at all.

 

My 2017 is a daily. Just had its 63,000 mile service. with it's front end PPF wrap, it's still looking good!

None of us know when we're going to slip off this mortal coil, why would you waste life by driving something humdrum??

 

Mine is a DD, but I don’t drive that much… around 25k miles 2017, not a single issue.

 

I just recently acquired 2017 25k miles QV from a private individual. Meticulously maintained and fully optioned. Not my daily as I have other cars but definitely a weekend canyon carving machine!

 

Bought her brand new in Aug 2018, heading in for her 90,000 mile service and first ever brake job in a few days.

She may hit 100,000 miles before she is 5 years old.

Still looks great!!

So are those all the fault codes on your car, are you having CEL?

On a separate note, was randomly watching QV content on YT and came across this one channel Ideal Media, ranking all unreliable cars and AF still near the bottom of the stack. AF sure got its work cut out for them to turn that perception around, there will be countless other light-on-substance channels like Ideal or motor journalists that will continue to lean on AF unreliability trope because it's easy, lazy content to spill out

 

Yeah Minnesota. Winter storage season is roughly Nov 1st-May 1st around here for summer toys

 

You can easily get 2 more months in. If not 3. I would agree with your dates if you were talking about supercars?

 

It is my daily driver. Has proven to be reliable for the last 5 months, except a dead battery.

 

Same experience here with only a dead battery, but for 5 years not months!

 

Picking mine up tomorrow - In Toronto, I'm not sure the winters are as harsh here as Minnesota. I'm going to be driving it year round with some Michelin Alpins. I have an VW Taos if it gets a bit too hairy. Paying way too much monthly to store it away for so long!

 

The only thing you’ll notice as you get used to it is how the winter is going to castrate it, and render its superpowers useless. Like asking a cheetah to go swimming. Or asking Mike Tyson to tap dance. They can do it but you feel sorry for them. Won’t be long before I move out of this sh_thole. I’ve had it with this perpetually horrific weather

 

Yes, my daily. Yet, I don't drive daily. I am in desperate need of a road trip. After one, year, I have added less than 1k miles. At this rate the QV will outlast me by decades.

 

Lol i have had my qv for a little over a week. So far 1200 miles on her and climbing.

 

 

Not a QV, but it's always an adventure when I refuse to take our SUV for Costco runs.

 

It's my daily. Still new to me and hopefully 3 days a week horrible 405 traffic won't end up being detrimental to the car in a long haul..

 

Hi all, joined the club and collected my Giulia Quadrifoglio today!!
Absolutely love it so far and put together the below video of collection day, if you can watch and let me know what you think i would be eternally grateful!

 

Replace those rubbers ASAP!

 

Weekend toy!

 

Daily, just stuck a big 353mm 95ah battery in it too ready for the UK winter inbound and got second set of wheels with winter tyres ready too. although we havent had and really bad winters here for a number of years

 

For anyone in a northern climate (snow > 4 times per year) and Sparcos, how do you get on with the seats considering they are not heated? I'm thinking the Sparcos might be a deal breaker as I don't intend to track it.

 

I do like my heated seats, but I remember a time in my life growing up in Canada when heated seats weren’t actually a thing. But somehow, against all odds that were brought on by the icy grasp of Mother Nature, I made it through to adulthood. I don’t mean to be insensitive to anyone who has personally suffered, or may have lost a loved one due to frozen ass.

I have to qualify that of all the times in my early life that I had to tough through these nearly insurmountable circumstances, I was aided by the wearing of pants.

 

I have heated seats in NYC winters. They are nice to warm me up, but I turn them off within 5 minutes and just use the main heater. So yes it's nice to have them but I could live without them

 

Just received my QV yesterday, living in the northeast and the intent is the QV will be my daily driver. I'm going back and forth on all-season tires or another set of rims and winter tires - thoughts?

 

I like the idea of changing tires (though I don't like act of actually changing them), but it really depends on the climate around where you live. For me, winters are a necessity, even for vehicles with AWD.

 

Thanks...any recommendation on another set of rims and winters?

Ask and you shall receive

I finally bought my winter setup

 

The two most important factors when deciding on tires are:

1) Local climate and driving conditions
2) HOW you want to drive.

The first one is self explanatory, but we often give advice to others without asking this. The second is probably the most crucial. Do you want to drive just as aggressively (or as close as possible) as you do in the summer? Are you driving it every day or do you have a secondary vehicle? Everyone drives differently, and have very different expectations of how their car needs to behave with winters on.

 

Good advice, but for completeness I'll add a third point:

3) How you want your drive to feel.

Most performance snow tires like the Pilot Alpins, have a soft sidewall and are not as sharp when steering. Even if I drive slowly, I won't get the same experience with the Alfa's excellent steering. In fact, when I replace my Corsas, I'm going to avoid the Michelin PS4S, specifically because it gets lower marks for steering feel / sharpness.

So, regardless of how you want to drive, if you value the sporty experience over wear, noise, and comfort, I'd recommend the DWS06+ over many other all-season or winter tires. Again, that's provided that snow performance isn't a major consideration.
