>>28484545 (OP)I know people who love Alfas love them for the petrol engines.
But the JTD is the best fuel preparation system for diesel ever engineered so far. It doesn't seem to break down at all.
I love Alfas. Invested in a bunch of used ones to sell them into parts. They're not selling. Besides a few quirks with a few of them, this was a terrible investment, since despite how much of them there is in my country, there's not much of a need for spare parts. I have a medium sized warehouse full of them.
And the wholesale aftermarket companies are selling less and less of the Alfa Romeo specific parts. Keeping less of them in cost which means, they are not making enough sales on them to keep them in stock.
It's a good, reliable car. Not perfect, but the myths about it are bullcrap.
I don't know how the new ones are, I can't afford them. The new Giulias and Giuliettas seem good. No clue about the Stelvio, is it even an Alfa at this point or a Dodge with a skin? This is a legitimate question.
