I always hand wash my car. When weather permits, I get the pressure washer under the body and into the wheel wells, carefully of course. I rinse and repeat a couple of times.

New QV Owner Myth Busting [The Brakes]

In all my research on QV ownership, one of the consistent "issues" flagged by reviewers were the brakes. The main issue appeared to be the "brake-by-wire" system which raised doubts about how well the car would stop and whether it's even reliable.

This system appeared to be the reason why reviewers kept stating issues with bringing the car to a dead stop when at crawling speeds. I can remember one reviewer (or possible owner) stating that the brakes were so hard to modulate they needed to re-calibrate themselves to stopping the car based on what footwear they were wearing that particular day!

Nonsense! I've had zero issues with stopping the car whether at speed or crawling in traffic. Honestly, either the original owner of my car had something done or the issue is simply being overblown. I'm a new owner of a QV and have been babying it in and out of car parks, driveways, junctions, Give Ways etc and not had any issues with brakes whatsoever.

Hopefully this helps anyone looking into possibly owning a QV at some point.

Ah, that was it, thanks. You obviously have a better memory than me!

I've watched all this guys videos as part of my "reading up" on the QV. I really enjoy them but totally disagree with him on this.

I'm constantly driving the car with either heavy boots or lightweight shoes and haven't noticed any difference to the braking power or even feedback.

Need to take some of the interior, will post soon. Well, the front at least - the back's covered in seat protectors and kick mats

Love MC Blue. Looks awesome @MattMatt1

Possible testament to how gorgeous the Giulia is....just recently bought one and still drooling over a pic of one on the tinternet!

Hi all

Here's my new QV. Picked her up end of Dec and looking forward to putting some miles on her.

Next step is a carbon ceramic detail to make her pop.

 

[HussarF]

Is it a brand new MY20 Q?

Yes. Got the order in before they closed the order book.

Forgot to take these @metalgod23 so here's a couple just for you

@MattMatt1 looks nice with the newer centre console. I think the non Alcantara steering looks better, with the perforated leather.

Yeh, the car was already ordered and the upgraded wheel wasn't optioned, which I was initially disappointed about but I think I prefer it now - less visible wear the older it gets and not paying for that option. Prefer having the carbon v grille which I probably wouldn't have ordered to be honest. Compliments the carbon splitter.

Hi Matt are these the lower white dash panels on yours? In certain lights they look silver or grey?

Yep, they are. I've not noticed them looking anything but white in real life.

They are a slightly off white with a warm tone. Cameras usually struggle with white exposure. If you photograph snow it usually looks grey. The contrast is too much for most cameras.

Have you both got that same trim inside, and are you very happy with it? This is the first time I have seen that style of interior outside of the configurator, I have spec'd that option, probably too late to change now. 😂 Would love to see some more pictures.
