Alfa,well,their just scarily bad!!!
I think the new ones are ok,but Christ anything before about 2007 is diabolical build quality!!!!
Yep Alfas are terrible and so are the pre 2007 Citroens, my ex mrs has just got rid of a 2006 C4 Coupe for a Focus TDCI, the C4 was missing the glovebox lid (1st one was warranty but 2nd was tough shit), 1 foglight (It just fell out 1 day) , rear light bulbs blew about 4 times (she had it 2 years), all the dash kept changing itself to French so in the end she just left it in French and the remote key would only work in warm weather lol.
