It was plagued with electrical gremlins, leaking head gaskets, and the infamous weak second gear synchro all during the first year of ownership. Two Alfa dealers couldn't fix the issues, and Alfa corporate basically told me it was my problem and not to bother them. Needless to say I unloaded that POS before my second year of suffering was complete. I've occasionally wondered what became of it and the poor souls that were later stuck with it. Anyway I didn't mean to be a downer, and I hope your experience is as good as mine was bad.

This reminds me of the recent sentiment shared in another thread about 1980s/90s Range Rovers!!! LOL! Something about them being made by "misanthropes and drunkards!"!! It still makes me laugh!
