I have had absolutely no trouble with my Alfa since the day I bought it. It is an extremely reliable car.
I am in love with my 147, it handles like a sports car, it looks like an Italian exotic, it goes like a bat out of hell, and it will probably stay together just as long as a BMW or Mercedes. I just love the way it looks, love the way it drives and love the way it sounds. Mine has the optional MOMO Leather, and the BOSE sound system; both are a worthy upgrade. Well what can I say? It is a great car, and I will never sell it!
Honestly. It sounds like you are working for Alfa.
Honestly.If you own an Alfa your working for Alfa...Magic!
