Look up component failure rates, warranty claims and figures from the largest breakdown services and you'll see alfa right up there, always have been and always will be unreliable poorly made rubbish.

We were talking about rust but nothing is as reliable as it used to be even VW, they all seem to be cutting costs at the end of the day.

To be honest the alfa was a 2005 and it was a bag of sh!te. The vw is in much better condition and the floor isn't rusting through and the electrics all work
