"Not a good deal"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The oil consumption is quite high - 186g/1000km and the problem is that the dealer says this oil consumption is normal.

The result is that in 5000km the consumption of oil will be 1 liter. It`s enormous.

Failure signals all the time.

The locking mechanism of the doors has broken.

General comments?

The car does not worth the money. It`s not reliable.

Maybe you were just unlucky with your Alfa. Mine is performing just great, nothing wrong so far (20,000 km).

Do not worry about oil consumption. My Alfa used to "drink" 400 g/1000 km at the beginning, but I know I have red-lined it all the time. Now it has tempered its oil consumption to a more decent level, and I know from other Alfa owners that soon would stop eating oil.

1 litre every 5000km is not excessive oil consumption for any car, let alone an Alfa. Modern cars may be low maintenance, but you still need to open the bonnet (hood) a few times a year!
