Alfa history still blighting the brand!!
My last 2 cars (7 years) have been Alfa, GT & Brera, my wife currently has a MiTo none of them have broken down and have only required routine servicing.

Best mates family are an Alfa family aside from him and his R32 they have a GT (now written off by insurance due to engine damage), A Spider (sold due to excessive wear and tare costs), a MiTo (this ones ok

) and a Brera which is the spiders replacement and so far seems to be holding up

Alfas have been reliable for years - I ran a GTV from 96 to 99 during which time it did 60,000 miles with no problems - and I found two excellent dealers (one even in London) - a feat I've not managed with VW.
Enjoy the new car.

That Brera looks goood, though! I'd take the Scirocco R any day over it but you gotta admit that Brera is a very pretty car.

Yea Brera s are nice, was thinking of getting one before I got the scirocco, but after taking the scirocco out for a test drive, I was hooked.
