A heated steering wheel is a nice to have, but is that really such an important criteria on a car?.

Pair of nice racing gloves would be cheaper!
Not if you have Raynauds syndrome. A heated steering wheel is important for me.

You can’t really compare a Quad with a 340i or a XE, they are poles apart.

It was indeed in Dynamic mode, I saw the comfort mode button but didn’t use it. It was a short test drive and the salesman didn’t usually sell Alfas so his product knowledge wasn’t great. Perhaps I’ll take another look.
It's worth another test drive then as the comfort mode makes a noticeable difference to the damper setting. It's a fantastic car.

The XE is probably a long way behind and I’ve just about written it off. Not so sure about the 340 though, that’s still a very quick car and the available ‘toys’ look better. Anyway I’m driving one tomorrow.

ive driven a 330 at length and its night and day. not sure how much a 340 feels more powerful than a 330, but still its nothing like the same as the quad.

I'm very interested in this thread, as I'm keen to get a Quad asap. Drove one at length on the road, and was lucky enough to be invited by Alfa to drive the Guilia around Goodwood at FoS. Fantastic car.

With the rumoured interior and infotainment facelift due in Q1 2020, has anyone considered getting the current model? With it also coming up to year end, and in Q1 the new reg - now feels a great time to buy. I also have intelligence that there'll be a £5k price increase on the Stelvio Quad, so the Guilia is likely to follow suit.

I've been offered one on a PCH, fully maintained at £830/month, which I think it pretty reasonable and comparable in price to a PCP deal. Anyone aware of other offers?

But one.. they are amazing, waiting for some new 2020 interior gimmicks doesn't seem worth it to me ...

Great looking cars.
Remember seeing one at Geneva back in early 2016 and loved it.

Oddly enough though it’s probably a car I’ll never own

The facelift has some new interior bits such as touch screen, but the exterior is exactly the same. If I didn't already have my QF I'd be looking at the 17 plates as they are a bargain and seeing that the VAT has already been deducted, probably £20k cheaper than a new one. I've done 30k in 2 years and it's been amazing.
