Should you buy a used Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio? - Inside Lane

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is an incredible super saloon featuring a twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 engineered with the help of Ferrari. Costing nearly £70k new, is now the time to buy a bargain Quadrifoglio used? £35,000 could put you in the driver's seat of this Italian work of art.
There are some known issues with this 503bhp machine, mainly electrical, but they are well documented and typically resolved by this point. The updated facelift cars might feature better infotainment and smarter interiors, the small changes make a pre-facelift model very tempting on the used market.

Love my 2017 Quadrifoglio and they are a superb car, but a few comments... There are very few cars under £35K. Of the 101 cars currently for sale on Autotrader, only 3 are under £40K. The gearbox is a 8 speed (ZF), not 7. In A mode, on a steady motorway run, circa 35 mpg is possible - that's obviosuly not what you buy the car for, but still nice that it can do it. The earlier cars (pre 2018 I think) are 4 seaters not 5 and the rear seats don't fold. I'm never quite sure why the infortainment gets criticised - personally I think it's fine. You can get a 3rd party module to add Apple Car Play to earlier cars. The carbon seats are pretty rare, and for daily use the standard seats have the benefit of being available with memory & heating functions (an option), which aren't available with the carbon seats. For driving all year round, most owners swap out the Corsa tyres for something like MPS4S or Goodyear F1 Supersports as they're a better all round tyre. The standard fit Corsas aren't great in the cold/wet.

Absolutely yes. I would love a manual gearbox by default as a true petrolhead but i am wondering if the great automatic won't have more pluses compared to the engaging manual. I ll make sure to drive both when eventually i ll be able to get one. I also hear the 2020 on models have a dual port injection system that prevents carbon built. But those are significantly more expensive than 2016 examples.... so quite a dilemma 😐

That's a very good question... I parted with my QF back in 2020 after 3 years from new. And the reasons, 1) It was due the 35k service at a cost circa £1500 and seeing what was involved, horrified me to think an Alfa dealer would be trusted with that work, I've seen how rubbish they are with basic servicing and their lack of interest in fixing warranty work (turbo wiring harness, squeaky struts... just made it hassle for me. I'm going to guess that the Alfa dealer I sold it back to didn't do the major 35k service and just stamped the book, it's a major front end off job 2) Warranty was due to expire and could I trust Alfa to provide an OEM extended warranty, and then have the skills to repair if something major went wrong - NO. Definitely a brave pill to buy used. At a push only buy from a main dealer WITH proper 12 months Alfa warranty, and then sell it. If you have the balls good luck, because it's a truely amazing car as long as nothing serious goes wrong.

I don't think alfas are as unreliable as their reputation suggests, but the build quality is shocking. They look beautiful, you get in and think "what a lovely looking interior" but everything you touch feels like cheap crap. The carpets, upholstery, steering wheel, gear lever, switches, etc. its all nasty. Its the only thing that stops me buying one.

No! I was in love with my Giulia and Alfa Romeo as a brand, however, I will never again buy/recommend another Alfa Romeo in my life. I had the brake by wire system fail on me and it caused me to crash and total the car. They sent someone from Bosch to diagnose the vehicle and in the charts it clearly showed that something malfunctioned (brakes were slammed 2 seconds before the impact at 40 MPH and it took more than 1.5 seconds for the speed to start going down.) Stellantis told me that they were not going to take responsibility for it and that I needed to have my insurance pay for the vehicle. Absolute garbage. I will never recommend this car brand to anyone again! Buy an AUDI, BMW or Mercedes instead!!
