What data do you have or anyone here for that matter about Alfa 4C reliability. No one so that was easy. I will say Alfa do quite well in Germany and have many dealers and cars on the road.

I didnt lose anyone to be frank. Read ANY forum and you will never buy that particular car. Id happily buy a 4C and drive it and fix it if need be. Just like my Z. Its a car. They work, they dont work. Alot of you have ZERO experience with this car or Alfa in general so the old adages from the 70's are the references lol.

I had 3 Alfa's in the US. All were more reliable than my very low mileage 89 Corvette and this was in the early 90s. Whatevah! LOL!

My 2009 Abarth 500 I had for 3 years here in Germany was bullett proof. No issues. Italian cars are not the dregs you make them out to be here. They are modern, well appointed and have a soul severely lacking in so many cars. Hows GM these day LOL! Toyota and its MILLIONS of recalls etc. There is no perfection in the auto world. But if you read the Top Gear review I linked here sometimes a car, a particular car just nails you and you pursue it, as imperfect as it might be or seem to be. Im glad Im not scared lol!
