I have bought a few cars (4 Japanese, 3 European), including an
Alfa 33, which came with a nice-sounding boxer engine.
But the Alfa 33 was just too unreliable. Had the car towed a few
times. Quality should have been improved since. But take a look at
J D Edwards score -- Alfa unfortunately still far below average in
terms of reliability. Which is sad as Alfa Romeo cars really stand
out in terms of styling.
