Just buy the Alfa.

Before buying the Alfa pickup an Italian dictionary and look up their version of reliability.
Here's what a typical owner and Alfa relationship is like:

Without a question that is the sickest GTA build I've ever seen or heard of.
Can't believe they went that far with it and the steering wheel is still on the wrong side.

That's the only reason I'm not calling to buy it.
Well, that and I haven't found DB Cooper's briefcase yet.

Automotive News published a report last week saying two suppliers had insisted the Giulia, on the eve of production, didn't just fail one internal crash test, but failed the front, side and rear impact tests. A third supplier source told us the same thing. Alfa is denying it.

Very little of that article sounds like good news.

Great cars.
Yes but it had a few issues........
The engine was incredible, built proof and sounded great. The rest of the car, not so much.

Anyone have a new 4C? I'm curious if all the Alfa folklore is true with the new models?
Before I bought my Monster all I had ever heard was "Ducati's are crazy expensive and super-unreliable" -both of which are not exactly true. I've found Ducatis to be pretty reliable as long as you perform maintenance (but the maintenance is a little more frequent than a japanese equivalent).

I owned a few Alfas back in the day, an Alfetta with the 1.6L, an Alfasud 1.5L, a Giulietta 1.6 > these I had here in Panama, aprox time of each with me was about 1 year, resold for profit[somehow] and in Germany I had, as "loaner" a 155 with the 'odd' 1.7L 8V engine, it was fun to drive, it was torquey too . . . Since I've owned VW Santana wagon 1.8L carb, Peugeot 405Mi16x4 and 405Mi16 GrN, VW Jetta A2 with the "Redhead" 1.8 16V engine, a short lived Fiat Uno Turbo, a Toyota Corolla AE86 with the 1.6 16V engine and also a short lived 1988 MR2, a Nissan Terrano TD2.7[Pathfinder in the US] . . .
Since, MY LAST owned by me car, we've had the Mitsubishi Galant VR2.5 and the Suzuki Swift 1.5 ZC21S
