I am very close to pulling the trigger on a Giulia. There are some really good deals at dealerships in my area for around $34,000 making it hard to wait for a 2018.
This car will be my daily driver and I spend a lot of time driving on the highway. I have a VERY reliable 2013 Kia Optima that has never seen service and has been driven to the bone. I have read a lot about the issues with the Giulia.
My question is: Am I almost guaranteed to spend tons of time and energy at the dealership with issues?
I know that problems/issues are always going to be easy to find while looking at forums, but it seems like every one of these cars breaks down regularly. I have never had issues with cars I have owned and don't want to invest in a car that I will spend fixing more than driving.
Are the issues that bad? Also, are the issues software related and has the newest update as of August 11th fixed most of the issues?
I am deciding between this car and a Mercedes CLA 250 or C300.
