Reliability
The warrenty is worthless! In 8 months i've had problems with the climate control, rattles in the drivers door, foglights, airbag, exhaust, suspension power steering and camshaft. Nothing was covered by the warrenty and i was told the faults were normal!

Lovely car, if only it was reliable and the dealers cared about their customers.
Comfort
Decent ride for a sports hatch, plenty of equipment and comfy seats. Not much room in the back though

Security and Service
Security
Remote alarm and immobiliser
Service
Alfa don't care about their customers, their servicing prices are excessive and my local showroom is a dirty mess.
