"Good car but let down by the dealer network"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

1. Airbag electonics faulty on delivery.

2. Child lock catch slips to lock.

3. Climate control not efficient (still ongoing battle with Alfa dealer to fix it).

General comments?

1. Power not smooth, only over 3000rpm.

2. Can't see speedo even after tilting steering wheel (I'm only 5' 10").

3. Good looks.

4. Dealer network not interested in fixing faults.

Although I love the car, after 8 weeks of ownership I've had my first scary experience with an Alfa dealer and am wary of what's to come!

Speaking to Alfa Head Office they don't seem that concerned about the damage some (not all) dealers are doing to the Alfa brand image.

See my review 1999 headed "I look forward to..."

I'm thinking to buy an Alfa 1999 soon. Can anyone advise me if it's a good car or not and why, thanks.
