Reliability
Nothing has gone wrong, nothing rattles.
Image
Common as muck here. Alfas used to be driven by Southern Italian greasers, but image getting better.
Comfort
Seats are excellent, position excellent. Only thing which causes discomfort on a long fast trip is the NCAP crash rating.

Security
I locked my keys in the boot. It took me three minutes to open the car undamaged and in silence.

Bit like the car. Need to be thrashed to get best performance.
