Alfa's do have that problem. I could put up with the reliability if they had a good loaner program but I have read too many reports of owners being given fiats and chryslers, not Alfas, as loaners. Since I would anticipate being in the shop given the reliability reviews, the lack of Alfa loaners would turn me off.
Depends on how the dealership is connected. My local 3 dealers give you a Maserati or Alfa as a loaner because they are Alfa/Maserati dealers. The ones that are connected to Fiat/Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler may be ran differently.

So far a few of my friends/co-workers with Alfa's have been happy and trouble free, one even has 80k on his Giulia Ti, of course though YMMV.
