The Alfa is nice enough, just keep checking the oil levels (seriously).

And be prepared to get the bus for a week or so whenever you need a part (almost any part) because:
the dealer won't have it in stock,
the wrong one will come in,
it will arrive broken,
it will break while they fit it.

BTDT!!
My own was off the road for over a week waiting for a wheel bearing,
and one of our company cars is back on the road after three months waiting for a bootlid.
