that's what I've been reading as well. kind of tempted to trade for one but i'd give up manual transmission and the practicality of having a hatchback.Everything I've read says it drives like a dream. Faster than you'd think, and great handling. Infotainment leaves a lot to be desired. Alfa reliability is a little scary, though I haven't heard many horror stories about these, with the exception of some early builds

I parked next to a guy with a pretty Stelvio a few weeks ago. I didn't know enough to recognize if it was a QV or a four banger, but I still complimented him on it. I said 'nice car, do you like it?' and his response made me chuckle, it was succinct. 'No.'
He said it actually handles poorly, has cheap interior bits, mentioned the infotainment being bad and said he just generally misses his previous X5. He also mentioned that a friend has the QV version, his was a ti model, and that it's been in the shop a lot, but his has been pretty reliable.
I grew up with Fiats and Lancias, so I'd love to have an Alfa, but I think I'll wait for them to get their act together a little better before trying one. Plus they're all automatics, which rules out the current ones for me anyway.
When I worked in Germany, my colleague had a 146, it was a slow, manual, diesel, but I was still insanely jealous of it. It also had the oddest texture on the dash, it was akin to ostrich skin, very weird.

Funny, running an errand this afternoon a pretty nice boat tail blew past me and zigged through traffic.Is it bad that I think it would be cool to find a wrecked one and do a restomod of a cheap Series 3 spider?
Imagine the drivetrain and brakes from a Guilia in an old Spider.
Alfa get their act together? Haven’t they been the justifiable butt of reliability jokes for decades? Doubt they will get their act together any time soon and I question their commitment to the US unless they get more sales or models.I parked next to a guy with a pretty Stelvio a few weeks ago.

Rather get an m3It's got terrible gauges and sounds like a Dyson, but what about an ATS-V?
