Zanimljive opservacije sa alfaownera(engleski valjda znate???):
"I'm in Germany and I just don't get the myth of German car build quality reliability. If anything BMW and Audi game the system.
For the first 2-3 years you get free road side assistance and the purpose of this is so when your nice German car breaks down it doesn't get reported to Dekra or ADAC as a breakdown. Thus the German cars seem to be more reliable, but once they get past this point the reliability decreases. This is obviously not the whole story but it is an interesting myth that car reviewers like to propagate so that they can keep access to their free cars
If you look at the Giulietta (a newish Alfa), you'll see that that the reliability is actually better with higher mileage and that is real data not a car reviewers viewpoint. "
"Lovely to look at blah blah blah blah interior quality nice but not as good as an Audi blah blah blah blah 50:50 weight distribution blah blah blah blah not as firm as an M3 blah blah blah blah sounds good but not as good as an AMG blah blah blah blah don't worry about the lack of a manual box blah blah blah blah wait to drive it on poor quality UK roads blah blah blah blah first decent Alfa in 20 years blah blah blah blah same price as an M3 blah blah blah blah make or break car blah bla...........................................
How many of them actually drove the car, it sounds like they drew straws for one of them to have a go then swapped stories down the pub!"
"Very positive reviews, yet almost none gives it 5 stars. I think this finally proves the silly bias the English-speaking motoring press has (German paymasters concept comes to mind). Hardly any proper criticism, and yet they dock a half star or a full one. They know well that most people won't actually read - see the stars and go "BMW M2/3/4/5 got 5, it sucks!". "
"I am also wondering what is so wrong about British B-roads that they get mentioned in basically every car review I come across...
I came to the conclusion it's just a generic excuse reviewers use to say something bad about cars they don't like, but have nothing inherently wrong with them; Tiff Needell and Chris Harris seem to be particularly prone to this.
Harris in particular has lost any credibility to me with his pants-poor review of the 4C - he was raving all the time about how great his Porsche was and trying so desperately to find faults in the 4C; His very facial expression translated into "it's great but I don't like it, need to find an excuse" - To the point he complained about the steering being "hard to keep straight" and following the road "cresting", citing "British roads" as the source of the issue. Who could expect that - a basic, simply designed lightweight coupe' with no steering assists translating every single chip and stone on the road into feel on the wheel?
Also, that ZF box was praised into heavens when BWM used it, then Jag...now that's on an Alfa, it's "sluggish"..."
