Well Scotty, i own and daily drive 4 Italian cars. 3 Alfa Romeos, and a Fiat Barchetta. I do most of the maintenance work on these cars myself, they are very easy to work on, and services are surprisingly inexpensive. Down to the point of reliability, all my Alfa romeos have the legendary V6 engine, unbeknown to you folks in the States, these engines are generally regarded as one of the worlds best V6 engines. Our one Alfa 156 now has 250 000 KM on the clock, and has no problems, and burns no oil. The engine is unopened. The other one now has 165 000 on the clock, and same story, no burning of oil, and not a single problem, my oldest Alfa, an 84 GTV6 has who knows how many miles, as i bought it 9 years ago without any history, it gets driven hard on a daily basis, and, guess what, apart from regular oil services, required no big money to be spent on it. They have been some of the most reliable cars i have owned. Both Alfa 156s that we own, despite being nearly 20 years old, are solid vehicles, no rattles or squeaks, and have held up better than most Japanese or German cars i have owned. And, performance wise they would still walk all over some of these modern things called cars. Ot all comes down to how they are cared for. If your car, and care thereof is at the bottom of your list of priorities, buy some Japanese shitbox. Scotty, i reckon you just simply hate Italian cars, just like i strongly despise Japanese cars with a passion. Especially Toyotas. They are overrated, and overpriced, not very well build, and most of them look like the backside of a dog.

Alfa Romeo unreliable? That big BS. I had 2, one Alfa 75 Twinspark and later an Alfa 155 Q4. That Q4 was a 4x4 turbocharged sedan, never had a single turbo issue (or any other issue) in my 12yrs of ownership. Simple rule I followed, never raced it until the engine heat is in the middle, then do as you please. Never EVER had a problem during 19 years of ownership of both, in fact. Now I only ride my Honda motorcycle. living in a big city, heh. Thing with Alfa's is they are very 'lively' cars, always you get more than what you pay for. (as their line Cuore Sportivo)People often push them mindlessly beyond normal use, which is the main reason I know of them giving you a problem. On the other hand my wife had a VW Polo which had a steering pump broke down in 12k km, then she had an Audi A3 Hatchback, in which the panel just died. You can guess what I think of German cars now. Nowadays she has a Subaru Outback, built like tank. As guessed never ever had weird problems like her previous German cars did. Our motto is, if you have moeny get Japanese, if you're on budget get Italian and be happy ever after. and stay the f. away from Germans

Hey Scotty, I live in Europe and have a 2013 Alfa Romeo Giullietta 4 cylinder Multi-air Petrol 170HP with manual transmission and 37 500 miles on it. Its front right brake squeaks when the wheel is turned in random angles. Whenever it happens, as soon as I brake it stops. It never does it with cold brakes right after starting the car in the morning, only after I have braked a few times. Weirdest thing is the wheel angle at which it squeaks is random every time and sometimes it doesn't even do it, but when I find an angle at which it squeaks and I sustain that angle (in a turn for ex) then it may just stay or may fade away. I haven't found any relationship to the weather (does it in winter and in summer) and both break pads and rotor have still plenty to chew through before being worn out. Thanks for any feedback. PS: I read that the DNA system has a break pre-pumping in dynamic mode, could a fault inthis be it? Yet ithappens even when not using the dynamic mode.

Scotty: Where can I pick up this Ferrari for 20 grand? And how come when Toyota & Honda make a crap vehicle we dont hear you say its a money pit and it trash and all these other comments you use for vehicles like Nissan? You said that Nissans pre Renault merger are solid vehicles and when a viewer asks your opinion on buying a 99 Infiniti QX4 or a lexus clunker and you said the lexus over the QX4, the QX4 for those years were exact copies of Nissan Pathfinder wich you have said numerous times for those years that are solid vehicles. I dont have a Masters in Scotty common sense but why is it that even though Toyota and Honda have both put out there share of garbage vehicles, ah its not that bad but even though Nissan and Fords and many more companies have put out decades of solid cars, all those are endless money pits? Sounds like you state personal preference over facts alot of times Scotty.

Buy a Porsche Its reliable Its not a Toyota but you cannot drive a Toyota 190 mph and to work the next day. Lastly Scotty knows nothing about exotics. There are smart buyers who know how to buy exotics that are increasing in value not decreasing. If you bought a new 918 you can sell it for 150% of the original price. Same thing with the Porsche 911 RS2. Same with numerous other exotics. In fact knowledgeable buyers have made more buying exotics than return in the stock market as the price for exotics has exceeded the stock market in terms of appreciation over the last 25 years. Exotics are exotics not luxury cars. There are not 10000 units made. These are made in lots of a few hundred.

Hey Scotty, you need to lay of the high end sports cars a bit. I have a Porsche Macan with 50k miles and never had a single problem. Its got a 100k factory warranty so if anything were to happen they'll make good on it. Also, I had a Toyota Sienna which had a busted water pump at 85k and cost 1700 to fix (dealer wanted like 3, 500. My highlander needed an alternator at 60k and my honda two. Porsches are more expensive to maintain no doubt but the driving experience is like no other car I've ever had. (not even my BMW which really was a P. O. S) so not everybody is looking to save as much as possible when choosing a car and that's OK

German and Italian car companies must be doing something right. People keep wanting and buying them. I have four vehicles in my family right now, two German, and two American. The only ones that run right are the German ones. My Jeep has decided it wants to shut down for a few seconds, and then restart as you go down the road, and my old Ford truck with the EEC IV computer and TFI ignition? I've been fighting that thing for years. It's never been reliable

And Scotty, if your Toyota can do 0-60 in 3 seconds or less, cross the 200MPH barrier with ease, and go through corners at speeds way above the legal speed limit, and make panties drop, and make a glorious sound everytime you poke the loud pedal, and look great in red, and make people point and stare, and make you turn around and look back at it 3 times after parking it. then, only then can you compare it to a Ferraris reliability.

My dad has a 2006 Nissan Xterra with a v6 and a 6 speed manual and it has over 260k miles on it with no major engine or transmission problems. Just oil changes and a cv change. Also worth noting that he drives like an absolute mad man both on and off road so it hasnt been babied at all. So they can be reliable, maybe just not always.
