What they don't tell you

The thing about owning an Alfa Romeo is that you have to endure the endless taunts from people mocking the alleged lack of reliability and fragility. This isn't so much of an issue when you are problem free but there's always that little voice in your head, wondering if something is going to break.

Take the door handle for instance, on most cars its just something to open the door with but on Alfa's, its something that's been styled & sculpted out of polished metal and is a vital part of the whole Alfa look & feel. Now if only they had spent as much time on the actual mechanism, maybe I wouldn't have just had to replace this one that broke last week.
