The choice is yours - an Alfa, which will guarantee you a love/hate relationship, or a domestic appliance.
Alfas are not unreliable; high-maintenance, yes, unreliable, no. I'd say it's more a lack of durability than of reliability. Ironically, most of the alleged high level of electrical faults is caused by the German bits...I hate Bosch!
Sadly, there appears to be a complete lack of any quality system throughout the Alfa organisation, from manufacture right down to dealer service. Despite recent changes, there are still some lousy dealers around.
As Jeremy Clarkson says, you can't claim to be a true petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa.
