I have issues driving any car whose name could be pronounced “Toe Nail” Especially if in Alfa style it breaks down a lot. Then it would be a manky toe nail
Alfa was ranked high for reliability, with a score of just under 93 per cent placing it eighth. The brand’s German rivals Audi, BMW and Mercedes were much further down the list.
Alfa Romeo is one of the most unreliable brands in the UK. Every single outlet that measures the reliability objectively paints a “bad” picture – i’m assuming that you refer to the single one that’s just an opinion poll. I wish people would add some meat to their statements in form of a source.
Not that BMW, Benz and Audi are the most reliable cars on the market, they’re clearly not – but Alfa Romeo is worse. Considering how “awful” it is to own one of the german brands due to their unreliability according to some here, it’s pretty odd to see people celebrate brands that are factually worse.
Not as bad as Land Rovers, mind. The entire trope that an Alfa will weigh 50lbs less the next time you get in it because it rusted away is of course not true anymore, but neither is the reason as to why Alfa was held in high regards either. They’re not overly pretty anymore, and the engine that made Alfa famous and desirable (Busso V6) stopped being produced 20 years ago.
