Business Car Manager Verdict:
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde starts off with a marvellous ace. That has to be one of the sexiest car names in the business. Just imagine casually dropping that into conversation around the dinner table…
It looks the part, too, with its seductive styling touches, especially inside, and kit levels are generous. It’s a quick, characterful hatch that says something different.
The 4C connection suggests a real road burner but the QV actually turns out to be more urbane than that and anyone thinking this might somehow be a re-run of the wild, charismatic Fiat Strada Abarth 130 TC from the ‘80s will need to think again.
There are of course other members of the Giulietta family that would make a more rational choice on a company car fleet. But that’s to miss the point. the QV, this specialised, exotic performance hatch, is something set apart from the norm.
Not perfect but still an enticing product, all round, and yes, the kind of business car you surely won’t see coming the other way….
