I'm looking at buying Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce 2023, Has the reliability improved?
The very worst of the bad old days of Alfa Romeo's questionable build quality are behind us. At its worst, brand-new Alfas were rusting within in their warranty period and the electrical systems were a total mess. Many owners swore off the brand at that point, not willing to be caught out twice.
In the intervening decades, however, overall quality has improved dramatically. Of course, this has been an industry-wide phenomenon, not just an Alfa Romeo one, and is the result of better design, metallurgy and materials. Not to mention the increased use of robotics to physically build the end product. For all that, though, there's still some suspicion – if not resentment – towards the Alfa Romeo badge.
For the record, Alfa Romeo was ranked number one in the luxury segment in Sales Satisfaction Index for 2022 in the USA in the annual survey by JD Power. The survey is one of the more credible quality surveys and placed Alfa in first position (up nine places) from the 14 luxury brands included in the survey. However, the fine print is interesting, because the SSI result is based on the buyer's experience of six factors; delivery process, dealer personnel, working out the deal, paperwork completion, dealership facility and dealership website. Which is a different thing to actual vehicle build quality and reliability.
