"Built by Monkeys on a friday afternoon"

Rear Electric Windows Failed.
Electric Sunroof Failed.
Power Steering failed.
General comments?
I really want to love this car. The engine sounds great. Unfortunately the problems outweight the performance. Try speaking to any mechanic about Alfa reliability.
