The Guilia QV is a brilliant car. Ive had mine since new in early 2017 and its be the best daily driver Ive had since my e39M5 back 15 years ago. Its my one car purchase in recent years that has made me think twice about how special my Porsches actually are. In many ways the QV is a more special drive than my 991.2 GT3, although the 9000 rpm flat 6 is a technological feat -but just in differnet way than the Alfas Fezza derived 2.85 litre 505bhp turbo lump. I love sitting in the Sparco Alfa CF seats - the interior seems an occassion comapred to the Porsche.
My accoutant tells me I should sell the Giulia in teh next 12 months for depreciation offset reasons. The reality is I havent seen or driven anything else as a daily driver I would rather own (at any price). The fact the car will be worth less than at I paid for it by then makes it a great bargain for someone looking for an uber sedan thats under 5 years old.
Like you say shame that the dealer network is crap, parts slow to get and pricey and in our country warranty cannot be extended beyond 3 years.
I took a 4C for a weekend loan form a dealer.It was a LE like yours. A number of folks I respect with many expensive cars in theirc ollection own 4Cs and say they are one of teh funnest cars they own and one they are likely to sell teh least! Its a riot to drive. Stock its flawed when pushing on, mostly how it fidgets over the crown of teh road and comes totally undone on bumpy corners when really pushing teh chassis - though I believe both of these issues can be addressed somehwat by Alfaworks rear A arms/bushes and their shim kit. A bit more power and sound would be nice but I understand tehy have solutions for both of those things too. Id own one no problem (and make the above changes) as I found it a very refreshing car to drive - great for a 60-90 minute country back road blast to clear te cobwebs and remind you you are alive. With prices here half what they were new its probably time I started thinking more seriously about one of these. They will never make anything lke it again, Infact the same could be said of the Guilia QV unfortunately....
