Im so happy that doug revisited the 4c, the first review lacks a lot of his today's format.
I just watched his first video, about selling his CTS-V wagon, and he was a totally different person 8 years ago. Crazy to watch that and then immediately switch to this video and see his instant transformation into Goofy.
You mean "THIS!" format🤣🤣
@@PissBoys It’s interesting how a lot of TH-camrs get more and more animated as their channel grows over the years. Chrisfix is the same way. He was a lot more toned down in his videos from 6+ years ago.
But the OG review is classic Doug I honestly miss when he did reviews like he used to 😔
Tttthhhhiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss
The little car that could do… Alfa needs more of this spirit in their lineup
Unfortunately I'm not sure Alfa is long for this planet based on the direction they've been going

@@verhu010 really? The Giulia and Stelvio have been selling pretty damn well
@@DJFaNaTiiC selling well does not translate to brand life, BMW is doing the same thing, they lost all their pedigree for sales and now it is starting to bite them
@@poppachoppa8956 100%
My dad daily drove his 4C untill just a few weeks before he passed from cancer.
All year around here in Sweden. He had studded tires for the winters.
Former Alfa service manager, I;'ve driven at least a dozen of these and Doug, if anything, understated the driving experience compared to everything else Italian. The steering is impossibly direct, the tight suspension and the noise make it an incredible car to pilot. With a tune and an exhaust these things are absolute weapons, 300hp this car is untouchable for value for money.
Cons: regular services are very expensive compared to a regular vehicle, an oil change at my location was $495 and took about 90 minutes due to all the fragile panels that had to be removed to access the engine. Factory wheel powder coating was known to melt under track conditions, saw it several times. purchasing experience was not great for most of the dealerships my customers went to, limited availability and douchey salesmen ruined purchasing this car for a lot of owners I met.
Nearly 600$ for an oil change for a 300hp coupe what a joke
@@tye9713 when it comes to cars like this you need to consider the cost benefit ratio, when you are putting 2-5,000 miles a year on the car so you are changing the oil once a year it's acceptable for an annual cost of ownership for what you get out of the driving experience. Cars at this level don't make sense when you only look at the numbers, get behind the wheel and make the decision for yourself.
@@wardenfiddyblunt BMW has the same oil 1nce a year oil change benefit u just stated the cost for that car is outrageous for only 250hp what a joke
@@tye9713 we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, if this was something you could comprehend you wouldn't be bringing up BMW. I only mentioned the price so normal people like you could see what the cost of basic maintenance is on one of these cars because you'll probably never own one. In the same light if you want a reality check, see how much Nissan charges for an oil change in an r35.
th-cam.com/video/CEN8J7SmHvg/w-d-xo.html One metal panel is fragile? Its a super easy oil change...... I know, I did it myself in my garage.
Doug is the kind of guy to wear a yellow sweatshirt to drive a yellow car.
first thing I noticed as well haha
Doug the type of guy to click the links in bot comments
now thats attention to detail, what a nice quirk
🤣🤣🤣
They could have done a whole video on the prosses of shoehorning Doug in the 4c.
I have this car (the coupe) already for 4 years. I used to change cars quite fast, but this one is here to stay. The EU spec is even better weighing 150kg less then the American version. It's Just such a great car. Pure driving fun! I have it tuned, doing 300hp at 895kg. On my channel you can see how capable it really is. Love it!
What the hell did they do to make It loose 150kg? :o
@@RobinHoood93 In America they add Steel construction on the front and back and added airbags for improved safety.
@@CAR_NL Thats awesome. You got up to 300 hp just from a tune?
@@CAR_NL Also do they make a manual transmission?
@@strangeclouds7 they don’t
Alfa Romeo have been making great sounding 4 bangers for decades. I still remember the lovely sound my uncles Alfasud Sprint made when I was a kid.
I remember in 2020 one of these was selling for $40k at a dealer nearby. Totally would have bought it if I wasn’t poor. Can’t imagine I’ll ever see them going for that price again
Bought mine in 2019 for 31k with 9,000 miles
Rip with this review being the final nail lol
@@mitchellkohrmann inflation. Everything goes up 30% after COVID due to massive liquidity central banks pushed
@@mitchellkohrmann That is an insanely absolute deal
That's nothing, I remember I saw one in pristine conditions for 24K euros. If only...
Doug's only weak point is judging styling.....seriously doug is this less attractive than an s2000? Exactly the same score as the GR yaris?? Come on.... it is waay more attractive and eye catching than any car on the comparison including the spiker and the Evora
Yeah this easily a 9/10! Can’t believe he gave it a 6…
I concur. Styling is at least an 8. The circular rims are nicer. Personally, I think it looks better than many supercars because it doesn't scream for attention. It does it in a classy way.
It's a subjective review, I for one don't mind the 6/10, as I can think of a lot of cars I think are nicer looking
I've always loved the 4C,& for what it is I give it a 9/10.
a wayyyyyy better than a ordinary s2000 .
Happy that you redid this one! From just straight out laughing at the car to actually take the time to appreciate it… You redeem yourself on this one! Thanks!
@@lomaii2847 wow blagger
I've driven a few, and part of the speed sensation is hearing all the road debris hit the undercarriage. You can hear/feel EVERY pebble, rock, and even sand. Great car. Full bolt ons and a tune make them little savages ... and that sound .... glorious
I've always appreciated Doug's honesty when reviewing cars, kinda like MKBHD. But I must say that i've also always found it amusing when he does it on a car that's for sale, he talks it down then talks it up all at the same time.
This car is one of the pinnacles of modern European sports car. It is gorgeous, sounds really cool, carbon tub, and totally impractical for anything but driving it on winding roads. I dream of having one.
Alfa romeo/ Abarth exhaust tune is amazing. The tone is lovely
This, the Lotus Evora and the Alpine A110 would be my top 3 European sports cars of the last decade.
As for roof quirks there was also a second full carbon fiber hard top option instead of the canvas but it was a $2000 option that didn't fit in the 4C's trunk.
That's such an Alfa solution.
Lol classic alfa
Nice to have on hand for bad weather though
I daily drove a 4C coupe for 2 and a half years. Beautiful car that's fun. Zero reliability issues. Highly recommended for those willing to put up with limited practicality.
I have owned mine since 2019 and too have only had 1 unscheduled service required. Amazing car
On my 2nd 4C, won't discuss why. Both were and are excellent cars in terms of upkeep costs, and fun. I even like my Alpine with premium speakers and tiny subwoofer; like the car itself it simply sounds great and performs. Too bad, the 4c was judged too harshly initially, but this type of brilliance does not come along often, and I know I won't part with mine.
Now I gotta know what happened to your first
@@Stexen ya, I gotta second that. I'm gonna assume he crashed the first one.
@@JJs_playground Corner 10 Sebring. A reminder to turn into the direction of a spin…
@@shawnschroeder9648 RIP to that 4c, glad you made it out okay bro
Did you crash the first one or did a Russian gang steal it and export it overseas?
They aren't unreliable, it's just the whole Alfa stigma they got many, many years ago. They put that same engine in numerous other, more daily-driveable Alfas and it was fine. I drive a 20 year old Alfa 156 (which was gifted to me and I doubt I ever would've went for it if I was buying a car myself) and it shocked me how good and reliable that car turned out to be. I don't even wanna go for anything newer as it does everything I ask from it, including long road trips. I was never an Alfa fanboy, but my experience has been so pleasant I do believe my next is also going to be an Alfa.
You're absolutely right. They aren't unreliable. The thing is that they do not take kindly to deferred or lacking maintenance and if you don't change the oil when you're supposed to etc. they will punish you.
But that's your fault - not the car's.
Agree.
I had a Giulietta QV with 6 speed manual (which has the same basic motor as the 4C), and it was the most reliable car I ever owned - a list that includes a Lexus, a couple of Fords, a Subaru, a Mazda MX5, and my current Mercedes C-Class. My only criticism was that that car was a little TOO accomplished - it was a great car to own and drive, but lacked the Alfa charm I was used to.
I also had a 147 GTA for about 5 years and honestly, for most the time I had it that thing was also surprisingly reliable. I was regretfully in a pretty bad financial state when I bought that car, so for a number of years the car failed to get the maintenance it deserved, and yet it was till very realible. That only ended in my last year of ownship where the ECU failed and had to be replaced. Despite my inability to properly maintain the car I absolutely loved the thing with all my heart, and was thrilled that it was bought by a true Alfa lover who was willing to spend the money and time to bring it back to it's former glory.
The only Alfa I owned that game me major issues was my first one (a 147 GTA Twin Spark with Selespeed gearbox) - and I think you can already understand why. I loved the car a bunch, but despite the car being in outstanding condition (and having very low mileage) when I got it that Selespeed eventually started to have issues, and when it did it was a bit of a disaster. But I dont really blame Alfa for that because that basic gearbox design has been used in everything from Maseratis, to Ferraris, to Lamborghinis to Aston Martins.
Unfortunately i was not so lucky with my Giulietta. Absolutely worst car ever when it comes to reliability. I had to replace the engine with ~70k km, 3 times i had to replace the door handle, the gear knob is also cutting my fingers (surface is slowly peeling off), button on the tailgate had to be replaced including the rear breaking light and many, many more issues. But i still love her, that's my "problem", cause driving is still top, direct and still top notch. And now i need to drive it even longer to get all the money that i put in back. But it will be my last new Italian car (also as there is nothing that would fit at the moment my needs)
And yeah i have/had enough Italian cars (still owning a '77 Alfetta GTV 2000)
Get a giulia veloce, best car I’ve ever driven.
Like land Rover
The key is probably mirrored to save on mold costs. Front is made normally with the holes, back is made with an insert that fills them
The excitement and enthusiasm Doug exhumes in his thorough reviews is what sets him apart from other reviewers. The 4C was never on my radar until today. Good job Mr. Demuro
Like 22:25
It's because the car is being sold on his own auction website.
@@audi1982 yeah - couldn’t help but notice it. It was a bit cringe worthy 😬
Man your first review of this car broke my heart lol, this is one of my favorite cars of all time - blew my mind when I test drive, and I'm so glad you're revisiting it now.

Tipo 33 Stradale takes the cake

Wow, a 4C review all these years later. Thanks Doug! You’ve made me want to go get one again! 👍
I think the single din head unit is genius. These vehicle specific units in most modern cars are prone to failure and are super expensive to repair. They have taken a simple route that’s proven effective and reliable.
Here in Germany these sold quite well and at Car Meets here in the Alps we always got three 4C taking part (1x Coupe and 2x Spider) as well as one 8C Competizione.
The 4C looks a lot like the 8C but they're very different otherwise but i'm glad they kept a lot of the Design of the 8C when making the 4C.
I always wonder if they made the 4C because they were surprised by how fast the 8C sold out and how popular the Design was, anyone here can shed light on that?
Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
Yeah, I love the 4C and 8C design, it is quite unique and wish they are in pop culture like movies, TV series and video games, they are well designed and wished there were more of these ones that look like these, I wish they are still around and not get discontinued or cancelled, but would love to see a successor to these and not be an SUV as a successor, all and all, they are so good and well designed, head of our times, we do not deserve these beauties, but they need to be treated with respect, so yeah
This would have been so iconic if it had come with a manual.
I still challenge anyone to watch the openings of Doug's videos with the sound turned all the way down and try not to laugh. I love Doug's videos so much and he is such an animated individual.
He is very enthusiastic!
All you need to know about Alfa Romeo: th-cam.com/video/bzgEpT99FcE/w-d-xo.html
I used to have a 2016 4C Coupe with every option. I learned some stuff watching this video lol. I can confirm you get a lot of attention driving this around town. I put on over 1,000 miles a month when I had mine. It was always a visceral experience driving it. You can hear the transmission go into gear when you put it in 1st. Doug forgot to mention the carbon fiber headlight housings. At the end of the day, it wasn’t for me. I think I got unlucky and ended up with the worst example ever made with an absurdly long dealership service history for a 4 year old car and the dealerships and customer service were an absolute nightmare to deal with on warranty work.
2015-2018ish (the full return to america) were rough years for alfa on the reliability department. SO MANY electrical gremlins. 2019+ they have sorted themselves out quite well
He did mention the carbon fiber headlight housing
it was a FLOP. Stopped making them. But Doug De could sell you used toilet paper!!
The thing that would keep me away is the local Chrysler dealer that would service this.....they are horrendous and FCA wasn't known for quality.
What warranty issues did uneed fixed?
I always loved this little monster. It's totally punishing as a daily driver, but man it's fun to drive.
Get something else for a daily driver and this will last longer. You are brave if you are daily driving an Italian car!
Its like a Lotus Elise. Cool weekend car and that is fine.
They’re awful maintenance monsters though…
@@CtRacerX I have a Giulia quad. My next service is over two grand. you have to pay to play. It is what it is And you know that going in. It’s like my buddy that has a Ferrari. He knows that every six years or whatever the engine out costs 8 grand
@@2steaksandwiches665 my point is, having had an Elise- it is only like an Elise in size- an Elise is NOT a maintenance monster, and actually it’s quite a bit lighter than the 4c. In either case, you wouldn’t be wrong choosing either to wreck a winding mountain road.
I had a ride round a test track with a professional driver, absolutely NOTHING he did upset it, I giggled like a child all the way round, they are fantastic cars! Just gutted I wasnt allowed to drive it 😂🤣

6:00 Doug is the type of guy that gestures so much it makes the whole car shake.
I suspect they placed the USB port in that pouch so that when you plug in your phone, you place it in the pouch on the right side of the passenger’s seat and the wires don’t hang above your legs. Brilliant solution!
I really think that the makers of this car were trying to sell nostalgia with this car, I get it and I kinda dig how imperfect this car presents it's self to be. Great job.
Fun fact the European Coupe model weighs less than 2000 lbs dry.
Also the car might be small, it is pretty wide.

Finally a real Doug review of the 4C. My favorite car! Thanks Doug!
If you hit the mute button during these reviews it looks like Doug is absolutely livid and tearing us all a new one.
Finally a 4c review
He did one in the past
He did a video with one YEARS ago when they were new, but it was well before he adopted the traditional review format.
@@mane98eldelcopen I’m aware but in the video he acknowledges it as being not much of a review
Installing an aftermarket stereo head unit in a GT40 is the most “Doug is the type of guy…” thing I’ve ever heard
He was saying mustang gt
I used to daily a Giulietta QV, which is a hatchback with the same engine, and it was tunes to around 300 hp.
It was always realiable, never missed a beat. Pretty good sound for a 4 cylinder as well.
I absolutely ADORE this car. I'm glad Doug got to review it.
The Alfa Romeo 4c was being produced in the Modena based Maserati factory so I understand why they used the Granturismo trunkrelease
Doug is the type of guy to enjoy reading *doug is the type of guy* comments.
Still loving my black coupe. This was always a dream car for me so I’ll never give it up. Hopefully a future classic.
I think people forget about this car. It is definitely on my future car list! Such a cool, fun little car.
Why get an Alpha Romero 4C coupe over a Tesla Roadster?
It had the wrong transmission. Everything else is fine, but a drivers car doesn't have flappy paddles. The accounting department overrode the engineering department unfortunately.
@@yungboicontigo9278 yes i get that, they also have racing slicks, etc. But those are race cars not cars built around the joy of driving, and even though race cars arent six speeds they are certainly not changing gears with a dodge dart automatic.
Ive driven a few 4c’s. Transmission is the #1 reason the car failed. Based on looks, heritage, chassis, the 4c is an all time great. But not having a six speed doomed the car.
Put a gated six speed in the 4c and it is a 100k car.
The main issue I have with this car is that it looks cool on pictures and video but looks waaaaaaay better in person.
In person it's insanely beautiful.
Also on video it looks sort of tall for a super car, but in real life it's super low and flat.
100% correct. This car so much lower and wider looking in person. Kind of strange how it never translates to the video or pictures.
Doug. I enjoy very much watching your videos, the emotion you put when describing in details about the cars is awesome. Huge fan you your channel .

Doug you missed the Race mode (keep dna switch pushed in D for a few seconds when already in D). You also missed launch control 😉
Worked for Alfa at the time of its launch and attended the dealers launch at Balocco track in 🇮🇹. Aside from driving it there, was also lucky enough to passenger with Nicola Larini at the wheel! Wow!!!
Small, light weight, agile ... I can imagine this as daily car adn a good one. You parks and it shine over the boring stuff of the car lot. Very lucky owner, nice car. Always a smile when you take.
Great review of the 4C Doug.
I love seeing these on the road. Gives off real supercar aura
And they sound amazing
Your videos make my day. I don’t even really care about this car. But I thoroughly enjoy all your videos, not matter the vehicle you review or subject you talk about. BEST!
11:44 as he says take off the roof the roof-looking debris in the background starts to fly in the wind :D
So smart - Doug has an endless amount of interesting cars to pick from, thanks to caaaaaaarrrs and bids
I knew I was gonna be in for a treat when seeing that Dough is reviewing another Italian sports car.
You reviewed a lot of cars and I watched every single video of yours in the last 2 years but this might be one of my favorite cars
My Alfa Romeo 1973 2000 GTV had the same trunk latch. LOVE IT.
I love the 4C. I remember the first time I saw one of these at a local car show. The presenter at the Alfa Romeo booth told me it had a carbon fiber chassis and I was in disbelief.
When a quirky car gets a revisit from the man who's become Doug Quirksote, of course it's more positive.
Surprised he didn't mention the manual steering again.
Doug, you forgot that the key design is the alfa grill!

Haven't you seen it sold on car&bids ?
@@mickeymomighty5660 doug has tested the practicality of a 4c spider back 5 or 6 years ago wayyy before cars and bids
This is my dream 'fun' car. It even has manual un-assisted steering. Should feel like a go cart, would be so enjoyable to dart around all day.
Sadly its really expensive.
A MD Miata would be my to go to
Its automatic
@@assassinforce5637 OP means manual steering, as in un-assisted un-powered steering (lack of hydraulic or electronic assist)
I have a lotus elise that is similar in all ways to this imo, much more available (when compared to the 4c at least haha) and relatively cheap in comparison, great cars and cant recommend them enough
@@assassinforce5637 But it has paddle shifters, which is a good compromise between automatic and manual. A LOT better and more controllable than regular automatic, but its still technically an auto for people who get intimidated by manuals; you don’t have to use the paddle-flap shifters if you don’t want.
As manuals slowly go away, automatics with manual paddle-shifters are the next-best-thing we can get...
There is a company in Austria named AVL that has an Alfa Romei 4C thats tuned up to 470hp on the wheel. It can keep up with their LaFerrari until 100mph and so far theyve put around 20 thousand miles on it without any issues.
i drove this car yesterday. the next day i was dreaming about that engine sound. ive driven porsches before, and this car smashes all the 964 and later models ive driven. there is just something VERY RAW about this car, and it sounds absolutely amazing. unfortunately, i dont have the money for one, but if i had, i would buy this car in a heartbeat. i never felt that connected to a vehicle! a blast to drive.
Cool to see that my Alfa Romeo MiTo has the same key as the 4C, actually even better because the hatch opening button isn’t blanked out lol. I guess Alfa has the same key for all the models in their lineup.
It's also the same key that my Fiat 500 had
Same as in mine Alfa Romeo Gulietta, has a nice, weighty feeling to it

The handling on this car is why I fell in love with it, it's so responsive.
I alway knew I wanted one of these cars. But after watching this video. I’m literally going to buy one when I have the money and actually have my full license
Ahh my dream car. I doubt I'll ever own one though. Thanks Doug for making this video!
Darn it Doug now these things are going to skyrocket in price once people realize you cant buy them new anymore. :(
Altra light, pretty quick, good handling, and looks good, sounds like a blast to drive.
240 hp and a mid 4 sec 0-60 is really impressive actually
Wow the sound !!!! For the 4 cylinder awesome...

is extravagant and fun. Girls is
icon, legend, beautiful girl, princess, inspiration,
a star. I could go on and on, understand this.
I love NBA Girls.#垃圾
Fr, I could've sworn he's done this before.
@@damienlee1165 yeah but the Review was kinda Shit
he's the kind of guy to do that.....when he makes money if the car sells on his auction.
love the review....but wondering if it's a sales pitch.
I knew it before I saw the whole vid: complaining about the fact it had no manual transmission, and when Doug drives a convertible or targa, always the top goes up. But what a pleasure to watch his vids!
As an european, finnish actualy thanks for converting units in metrics. Few car tubers do that. So thank you.
We can all agree that Jim Carey would make a perfect biopic actor for Doug
😩😂🤣
It's surprising to see how much of this car is pulled from the parts shelves that made the MiTO and Giulietta. Speaks volumes about how well those two compact cars were put together!
I think the steering wheel and wing mirrors are Abarth/500 as well! I'm on my 4th Alfa, absolutely love them!
Doug! You missed a fun quirk! The intake on the driver side…is only on the driver side! No lower intake on the passenger side.
The fin shape at the top of the quarter panel (beneath the roll bar) is an excellent styling que, justifying the other lines down the side. That feature actually makes the look of the vehicle.
Doug is the kind of guy to close a car door with his hips.
A solid thonk when closed so you know it’s a Quality made!!!!!!!
Looool
Doug is the kind of guy to close a car door with his hips.
ugh maybe come up with something somewhat original next time?

I saw one of these recently in the alps but in red, such a nice exhaust sound!
I have a 4C from new. The issues I have had are: a hydraulic line fail in the clutch causing new clutch replacement. 8K repair. Then I had an oil cooler seal fail while the car was parked dumping 5 litres of oil everywhere. Tow to dealer plus repair another $1,500. My verdict. I LOVE THIS CAR. It drives like no other & I just love it. Never selling it.
Aaaaand up goes the value on my attainable dream car. Thanks Doug.
I just saw one yesterday parked outside a Ferrari dealership in CT; I was rushing to an appointment so I didn’t have time to id it, only had a quick glimpse. Looks great I think, made me think of Lotus a bit
Thank you Doug for giving the 4C a fair review, I hope she finds a great home!
Man I remember back in 2015 when I first saw this car. I was working as a valet attendant in Miami and was so used to seeing Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other exotics. Then one day comes this red alfa and it made my jaw drop. At the time I thought it was a new McLaren it was so beautiful. I had never seen anything like it and the carbon fiber interior is so perfect in person. When the owner told me it was only 50k I couldn't believe it. Such a gorgeous car.
All though some of the compromises are pretty funny and all it is clearly to keep the weight and the sticker price down. The world needs more tiny and affordable mini sports cars like this!
I used to sell these a little while back! Couple fun facts … while in manual mode hold up the DNA selector to enter race mode. These were built at the Maserati plant in Modena Italy hence the Maserati emergency trunk release. To this day the 4C is amazing and fun and sorta cheap to maintain to be honest.
In the review he said you could get into first gear by pulling the right shift paddle. What if you pull the left shift paddle when you are in neutral, do you go into reverse?
Too bad Doug didn't mention that...I'm guessing "race mode" makes it so you can get the rear end loose while drifting around corners better? Or does it affect the shifting too? (Most people don't realize that shifting gears affects handling and that's the real reason why manuals are still sought after, although shifting with paddles has the same effect)
@@bolt5564 No you can’t you need to press R , I used to try to put it in reverse that way but it wouldn’t work.
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 Race mode is dynamic essentially without ANY driving aids it’s literally all you and don’t forget this car does not have a power steering system!
@@Notorious40z power steering, hahahahah! Who needs it with a light front end anyhow? Power assisted steering makes one feel less connected, sure maybe at parking lot speeds one has to put effort into turning, but once you're going, the feel is real. Rack & Pinion all the way-even if the steering box takes up all the space under the hood.
It may not be a supercar but it's definitely exotic.
Saw one of these pull away and I lowered my window, I heard that exhaust note and I grinned.
Amazing sounding car even for its size.
To the seller of this 4C: I've seen you cruising in Antelope Valley a
few times and was hoping to meet you one of these days. I've got a
black '17 4C Coupe and was surprised to see another one around here. I
guess I'll probably have the only one in the valley now! Looks like you
took really good care of this one and I hope it pays off with the sale.
