Since the Giulia is all-new, we won't have reliability stats for it for a while. But, given Fiat's recent record and Alfa's history, people have been expecting the car to be troublesome. Those tested by various car magazines have been fulfilling these expectations. I don't normally give any weight to one or two stories of troublesome press cars. But this seems to go well beyond that.
Hopefully Alfa gets the car's initial issues sorted out. The Fiat 500 became reasonably reliable in its third model year.
The latest Audi A4 has been well-behaved in its first model year. While it could yet take a turn for the worse, recent Audis have tended to be about average or better for the first four-to-six years of ownership.
As of July 2017 we do not yet have the Giulia included in TrueDelta's Car Reliability Survey because not enough have been signed up. I'd love to fix this. If you know someone with a Giulia, send them here to join.
