Sam really love watching your stuff & this is a great honest review without any of the bull crap you sometimes get in magazines etc with this car! It's really nice that you acknowledge the fact that a lot of the problems are down to our rubbish roads is a breath of fresh air! I am a bit of a Alfa fan & drive a humble 159 myself but you kinda seem to have the same crazy passion for cars that I've had since I was a kid so just wanted to say I find your vlogs fun!
Part of the appeal for this car is the fact it doesn't have power steering quite honestly. My current car is an FF layout without power steering, and THAT is a pig when parking. Comparing it to say a MR car without power steering I've driven (MR2), which was far more enjoyable and easier to park.
Hey STG! I was studying in London recently (Jan. to April) and used to see your 4C all the time. I'm from America and I don't usually get to see as many supercars as I did in Knightsbridge. I met Pasin the Zonda owner and even Shmee too. Just found your channel now, kinda upset I did so late. Keep up the good videos man!
I have a alfa 159 JTS TI 2.2 (petrol) It's my 1st car - 2008 model and quite a few things you mentioned I have noticed with my car as well, highway driving you have to drive the car, it's not just accelerate and forget. Great car!
thats a really nice first car! Even a petrol variant, and not those shitty diesels :p (im a little late lol) my dad has a 2011 alfa 159 1750tbi, the same engine as in the 4c. Its an awesome car!
+Seen Through Glass This is probably BY FAR my favourite car. Followed by cars like Aston Martin Vanquish and the Z4 and surprisingly, the Renault Twizy.
Seeing this video I’ve knew your channel. You are very easy,simple! This car I think is one of the most beautiful cars made in the last 15 years and in my opinion you should buy back one of them……you are great mate. Continue in this way ,your channel is fantastic !
Set the background music level a few dBs lower than your voice next time and not as many head movements when recording from head-cam. Otherwise I really enjoyed it. Thank you for this review.
This is the best example of a 4C that I've seen. If I had the money, I'd have one looking exactly the same. Love the rims & red + black finish. Great video too
i love your videos sam, i love the sarcasm, i love the comedy,i love the cars. your a legend man you deserve more subscribers and your videos are so origional theres no other pov car spotters :) keep it up mate your doing awesome
Brilliant video! I recently turned 16 and have decided that I will one day get one of these cars... it will be quite the upgrade from my 1999 Hyundai Excel!!!
DutchClawz Haha, yeah I have no TV and I like participating online, also politically. I'm a libertarian atheist, originally a knife- and gear nut, but I like watches and cars as well. I'm on forums too sometimes (mostly BladeForums and Watchuseek) but I like TH-cam the best because of the content and diversity. Feel free to shoot me a message! (jeru on forums)
Hy, I have the exact same wheels that you had on the 4C and after seeing your video I want to make them the exact same color. Can you please send me the color code if you still have it? Thank you, PS : keep posting videos, your channel is one of the few with good content.
I'm a new sub to you [ came from that dude Paul's channel :) ] and I am so bloody ticked at the fact that someone not only hit your car, but ran off like a little rodent afterwards! So glad you have the most amazing (and vigilant) neighbors! I hope she is back in shape soon man, she is stunning! -HP
As a fellow owner of one of these, this is a fair, honest assessment. If anything, you may have under played how fun it is - but then again I am in Canada with some beautiful, winding country roads nearby. 😎
Great review. Would love to see it in full flow once! And my hat off to you for supporting a near dead Brand we all love to see for another 100 years. Cheers!
To me this is so much more interesting than say getting a R8, the R8 is nice you see them everywhere now. Those lights are only for the launch edition the normal model version gets light like the standard ones the U.S. is getting
Nice. That's fun watching the drive through London. I would suggest the background music a bit lower so that I could hear the noise it makes. I also wonder how it is in practical use such as maintenance costs? How is it rain? On your point about its external looks probably just what I need to compare i to the Cayman but the Cayman's interior makes the comparison hard again. The exhaust noise seems need fixing, whether is it sound dampening or larger exhaust, I don't know. Regarding tram lines, I believe it is because of the thinner width tires which is why it follows it.
4c is a beautiful unique light weight sport car. Great reviews. Handling should be quite well and fun to drive. I haven't seen one in Orange County, Southern California yet! I could imagine it would be difficult to get parts in US. As Alfa Romeo is rare here. Although it may takes some time starting to get popular like FERRARI, Lamborghini and Maserati. Enjoy your new Alfa!
IMO those gold painted wheels suit the car brilliantly! And the black lower "sideskirt" thingies, as that color combo (red - black - gold) reminds me of the classic (racing) Alfa-Romeos from 1960's and -70's.
My dream car my experience with Alfa Romeo is warm the Engine to normal operating temperature before driving this car is built right go ahead and love your Gold Rims it makes it different your the one that's paying for it after all it's your car may you get many years of use out of it
I prefer this to the jag. it just looks amazing. and it's surprising how cheap it is! Okay 50k is expensive and my parents can't even afford a grand but for the car you get, it's fantastic
Regarding the radio, if this were left-hand drive, you'd still be able to see the radio screen, and the knob would be right at the fingertips of your right hand.
At 15:13 Bentley Mulsanne Speed (I think around 400K) anyone else catch it? Anyways, great video! I want to buy the Alfa Romeo 4C, the vehicles exterior architecture is perfect. It's too bad though here in Canada we don't get the carbon fiber on the front lights.
Just come across this review and love it, although I've seen many of your most recent videos your style hasn't changed that much (love the camera wobble). You and Paul are my go to car channels. Reviewing this 4C has I have the Guilia Quadra... and wondered what the 4C was like.
geez driving 🚘 in England seems so frenetic. I'd be nervous driving with my wonder toy in town. great review in looking to getting one of these in California.
Love your vids dude, I'm also quite an Alfa 4C addict myself and just subscribed. Btw whats the name of the song that starts at 0:38? I quite like that style of music.
Baerchenization It's not that flashy...not that polished kind of gold. I can't stand those rims either. But i like those. They just look right. I call it the hot wheels effect. If it looks like so much chrome that you think it's plastic. You see it a lot on musclecars, especially mustangs.
Baerchenization Thank you! I'm really pleased with how they turned out - a bit of a homage to the 458 Speciale and the original 33 Stradale which the 4C was based on :)
Assyl Yacine Ha its not really a problem if I'm honest. You hardly ever use the infotainment system because its crap and the exhaust sounds too good (lol), and with regards to the speedo etc, you can see enough and it just takes a tilt of the head to see the whole thing!
This may be one of the most unique cars made in recent years. And that is fantastic.
Inside it has everything a Lotus should have...
It's horrible to get in and out of. Nothing fantastic about that.

@@seenthroughglass I wanna buy this...
One most honest and hysterical reviews I have ever seen! I'd like to see the review after 25,000 miles on how well it holds up.
Part of the appeal for this car is the fact it doesn't have power steering quite honestly. My current car is an FF layout without power steering, and THAT is a pig when parking. Comparing it to say a MR car without power steering I've driven (MR2), which was far more enjoyable and easier to park.
That is one of the best looking cars ever. In my mind. Dream car
Ethan Hsiao Glad you like it - I LOVE it :)
It’s 52 grand
@@lilyking4407 bargain
There is a reason it doesn't come with gold wheels. (because it looks gaudy and absolutely atrocious)
+Christopher Walker I really like the wheels. I think it matches the red really nicely! But each to his own haha
It actually does look better now than the first time I saw it. lol
That wheels are BEATIFUL!
Great review! It's nice to hear the opinions from someone who is living with it and not just driving it for a day or two.
Andreas Kozub Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
I really like the concept of a "living with" video...seems like the best way to review a car for a normal person...well done
Your cinematography from then to today is so much better, how awesome to see. I've been watching since the Alfa 4c days :)
Hey STG!
I was studying in London recently (Jan. to April) and used to see your 4C all the time. I'm from America and I don't usually get to see as many supercars as I did in Knightsbridge. I met Pasin the Zonda owner and even Shmee too. Just found your channel now, kinda upset I did so late. Keep up the good videos man!
The Gold wheels make the car look like a modern rendition of something like a Lancia. Definitely appropriate!
David Verrecchia Glad you like them
Absolutely factual and hilarious, Thank you!

lol that handbrake moment, hahah! Nice video! Great job, mate.
This was the first fun to watch review I've seen on cars great work
saintvictorie Thanks
I love the gold rims man! haha i think it looks great against that Alfa Red
Many wont agree with your decision but i do!
Quirino Brescia Thanks!
This is the best example of a 4C that I've seen. If I had the money, I'd have one looking exactly the same. Love the rims & red + black finish. Great video too

vikram supercar Haha cheers!
Not a big fan of the acne on the headlights, but other than that, great car!
I see one for the first time on the street
and i was astonished how nice it is !
Brilliant video! I recently turned 16 and have decided that I will one day get one of these cars... it will be quite the upgrade from my 1999 Hyundai Excel!!!
I think Alfa's going to release a more powerful variant of this car soon, that will be amazing considering the normal one is already fairly quick.
There is a 6c concept, with the 510hp 2.9 Litre V6 from the Giulia Quadrifoglio.
everything bout it is awsome and beautiful
It isn't manual or can he switch between A and M?
Great review mate ! Always been a big Alfa enthusiast and love the car, not many here in Australia though. Enjoy!
Nick Spartan Thanks buddy
Great review, mate! I’m definitely considering one, and your review may have sealed the deal. What a fun car!
6 yesrs ago?! Damn felt like yesterday.
Booked me a test drive for Monday but this really gave me some help in what to expect.
MiniOne82 Great!
I guess the shape of the handbrake also improves how nice it is to hold ;)
Unboxings13 Lol
Awesome video review Sam. Your 4c is Gorgerous
ryan1540 Cheers
Great review and what a car. Alfa's Back! PS. That handbrake scene had me in stitches lol. Nice one.

Love the 4c! But hate the bug headlights in the older ones. But the newer ones with the normal headlights I Love!!
Really nice review. :D
Maybe it'll sounds stupid but I like the sound of blinkers. :P
I kinda like it too :3 weird.
Find the blinker sound of new Renegade. :P ^^
... Whats wrong with linking a certain sound, lol TH-cam does have the worst comment section.
they sound NICE
Crisp sounding 👌

Are you using run flat tires? They tend to make tram lining MUCH worse.
To me this is so much more interesting than say getting a R8, the R8 is nice you see them everywhere now. Those lights are only for the launch edition the normal model version gets light like the standard ones the U.S. is getting
Ian Townsend The lights are european spec - the spider will be getting the US glass headlights. Launch edition makes them carbon thats all
Looks beautiful, still one of the best cars you have reviewed.
Such a cool car! JUst saying might be better to put the camera on a fixed mount all the shaking is really hard to watch
Very good review!! Keep the videos coming
the golden wheels are gorgeous!
You are the coolest you tube car spotters around 👍👍👍

Love that rims. The old 33 stradale used to have gold rims too.
Your 4C is awesome, so is your Moonwatch!

Btw whats the name of the song that starts at 0:38? I quite like that style of music.
Would you say it's reliable
Have you seen the new giulia? It sounds really good and apparently has over 500bhp. They should put that engine in a 4c
Nicolas Cage is God Haha the 4C would literally take off
Gold Wheels look great!
really small supercar but it's looks damn solid! smaller than the R8 right?
+Dany Josh Much smaller than an R8! It's about the size of a mini Ha
Golden rims normally set off my bad taste alarm, but I think it actually works for this car, even if I wouldn't option that myself...
