Never had one but would kill for a 33 cloverleaf, failing that a 75 silverstone or a SZ. They have never lost the stigma the got during the 80's when they came with radical self lightening bodywork
yap mine has tons! not saying its perfect, but it crashes as much as most of my friends cars, and they mostly german. it has a turn radius of a truck, and somethings weren't that well designed, I even make fun of it! but its a damn gorgeous car and a pleasure to drive.
..as a car fan, we all know the stories... but alfa guys know all too well how 10 years of car making erased decades of excellence... Anyway, for good and bad, other car owners just remain silent about the problems. I have a friend who works on one of the most successful bmw dealerships around, and the rate of faults on those beauty's is a must. Still, apart from fan forums, you wont even hear a thing about reliability. its embarrassing I guess.
