The freezing weather really limited what I could do during my time with the brilliant Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, this is due to them being delivered on high performance summer tyres that offer literally no grip on cold/damp days. I figured it would be refreshing to get my buddy Ash behind the wheel to give his opinion on the car, you all liked our video on the M2 Competition press car at the end of last year, thanks Ash for spending the day with me and the GQ.

    I’m amazed at the number of people commenting that the Pirelli Corsas on the Quadrifoglio don’t grip and the car needs AWD. I’ve had my Quadrifoglio since November and until the better weather comes I won’t be using Dynamic mode often much less Race mode (just using a bit of finesse on the brakes and throttle does wonders - if you can’t manage that then the Quadrifoglio isn’t for you). To be fair, the Corsas do lack grip on the road when they are stone cold but fine even in the wet as long as you’ve given them a mile or so to warm up. And to anyone that bangs on about track use well I’ve paid for this car and have no intention of ruining it so can’t comment on what the tyres do off of the public road. In short this car is phenominal in every way but it doesn’t flatter or forgive an aggressive driving style.

I’m saving them for summer track tires and plan to buy the Michelin’s for the nasty days. But guys what a car simply amazing to drive. . And you don’t look like every joe with his bmw or merc.

    It's a beautiful car, had mine 12 months and it's just like nothing else. I never had a problem with my corsa's last winter, but then I didn't drive around in 2c with snow on the ground in Race mode! Switched to mps4s and transformed the car. Personally I love the standard seats, the carbon backed seats are not for me, they are OK if your short & slim and that's about it.. Yes they look awesome at the back but your driving and never really get to see them. I do agree about the ride height, it could do with going just a tad lower. You definitely have to restrain yourself in this beast I can tell you.

    M50B25 Turbo You’ve driven or owned both? The M2 is a great car but the Quadrifoglio utterly trumps it in just about every way (infotainment doesn’t interest me but iDrive and Alfa’s are about the same). What do I base this opinion on? Well I owned an M2 for a year and traded it for the Alfa. I get you like BMW, and their M Series cars are great but you make yourself look daft by trashing another brand out of some idiotic loyalty to a company that has no idea you even exist.
