- We only had an hour to shoot this review, but Highway 1 and the Spider version of the Alfa 4C seemed worth the rush. So here's the guys talking about the 4C and how it's changed when the top came off. There's a more in-depth discussion of the 4C in our feature film "Mid-Engines & Mountains":

oh yeah u know just a LA FERRARI just went by and that's perfectly normal
+michael kawaguchi - We thought you guys would enjoy that! There were a lot of Ferrari's driving by when we had the Alfa, as this part of PCH was being used for Ferrari test drives during Pebble Beach. Quite crazy to see so many in such a short space, but Ferraris are incredibly common in Carmel during Pebble Beach. It's Nuts. Thanks for watching close!
+EverydayDriver Definitely liked that. The only word... Whaaaat!!?!
+michael kawaguchi yupp had to do a double take there
+Hasan Khan The La Ferrari shows up at 2:42, and there's also a California at 4:35
+classiccarz norcal
Is that a LaFerrari at 2:43? YES!
Silver La Ferrari spotted at 02:42
how dafuk they not buy it in red???
+coffeeblak86 such a rare color might be worth a lot more for such a limited car. and this particular example looks stunning in silver. unreal. wish there was a video about it.
Now we wait for depreciation to do God's work.
Still waiting...
Still waiting. Its not a Boxster or Cayman.
Lol, I’m in that queue ahead of you, Bro 😂😅🤣
Prices up like lots of cars, pretty stable. The window for inexpensive 4C has closed for now. But used very low mile examples are great drivers and not horribly expensive.
There's not that many of them out there. The FCA motor is not good.
Keep up the good work, guys! Love your reviews, even if I have no intention of buying the car.
Oh that's such a nice gift for this thursday! Thank you!
I want this car really bad. Oh savings….
I have to give Alfa kudos in regards to their exhaust note. I don't think I've heard another four cylinder powered production vehicle that sounds that interesting.
THIS CAR IS BY FAR MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CAR EVER.
LIGHT
DECENT HORSEPOWER
A GOOD PUNCHY ENGINE
NOT EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN
LOOKS BETTER THAN MOST FERRARIS AND LAMBOS
ONE OF THE BEST DRIVING EXPERIENCES
NO NONSENSE
NOT OVERLOADED WITH USELESS TECCHNOLOGICAL FEATURES AND ENTERTAINEMENT FEATURES
AND ITS JUST BEAUTIFUL
THANK YOU ALFA ROMEO FOR MAKING THE ULTIMATE EVERYDAY DRIVERS CAR.
Don't be too sure that the 4C will be inexpensive to maintain, or that it can easily be an everyday car. The cabin is tight, so it won't impress your passenger. The door sill is super high due to the CF tub, so it won't impress a date, especially one wearing a skirt.
superchan7 thats your point of view bud ! the way you look at things in a negative perspective is not the way i look at things. I just shared the positives, i don't worry about the door sills being high or cabin being super tight..I don't buy things to impress other people. My date (my wife) enjoys cars even more than I do so it aint a problem. She being smart won't wear a fucking skirt while driving or riding in a sports/supercar. Super chan 7 lol who are the other 6 chans...you need to look at things in a positive way and enjoy life don't crib about the small things in life that don't really matter much. Have a good day or night
+Vikram Goswami Taking passengers is a thing that you will do with an "everyday" car. Your passengers will love banging their knees into the A/C controls as I discovered when sitting in a 4C. It is a car meant to entertain the driver on the weekends, whereas a more practical competitor like the Cayman can actually fit real people and real luggage (I owned one for 4 years, literally as my only car). My current sports car is too tiresome to commute with, but I didn't buy it to commute as I have another car for that. But clearly you are focused on insulting me rather than defending the 4C, so this dialogue is moot. And what kind of grown man tries to make fun of someone's name?
superchan7 not making fun of your name mr chan... but you know what i aint got time for this crap. Enjoy your sports cars ! and hating on someone else's preference lol keep it up
jdnnfnxjjeifhf1000000000ejfxnfnfnfnfngfnjfnfnfn xnf 4th. 5th. The comments box below. If it was not found a new member 4th , and 8e, but I don't have a good time to do so by the way. I will not be published. This is 30th 12th. This 2119 x
I actually rewinded to 2:40 for a double take. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me at first.
Amazing fast car. Sometimes I can’t believe it only has 237hp
Oh, God. That fucking hat. We got Chi Chi Rodriguez as a test driver.
Highway 1 is a great drive for an Italian exotic convertible. Given that I have a family, I drove that same bridge and Highway last Spring in my Maserati GranCabrio S, no where near as nimble as that ALFA, but the glorious V8 made up for it as did the rear seats for my youngest daughter in tow. Loved the sights and sounds of this video. Thanks Todd and Paul!
Best channel on TH-cam.
+TheNicklangridge - We consider that a huge compliment. Thank you!
I'm envious of the car, and that hat! As a bald man myself, I completely understand. Oh, and great video, once again!
Grey Ferrari 488GTB spotted at 02:22
+jorge vigil More like a LaFerrari.
+SICEM_Rex is 588gtb, look at it again... ... The La Ferrari can be seen at 02:42 ...
+jorge vigil wow good spot! It went by so quick that I missed it the first time around
+SICEM_Rex No.More like you have no idea
+jorge vigil fair enough, similar timestamps. My bad.
I dig the hat man. Cheers
the spyder is so good, rain gets inside when it's closed, had to proof it myself :(
Dat LaFerrari though
This is a very picky thing to say, so bear with me, but that radio is very tacky isn't it?
+Bruno Oliveira Yes it is. But that's not the point of the car; but at 72k, it should have something better like a Kenwood or a Bose.
Guys? Can you move heaven and earth to review the new Tesla asap? I"m seriously thinking of taking out a second mortgage to pay for one but I have to have your review!!!
+RAY NL I know it is, but I just really want it and this is the only way I can make it happen. Chris Harris does something similar so at least I"m not going to be the only one in the looney bin :)
22 Germans dint like the video.
Awesome job on the La Ferrari spot in the comments guys!!!! I didn't see that at all!!! I really like the way motojournalists have revisited this car. Everyday Driver isn't the only "publication" that has revisited the car and the reviews are starting to align with what I would have expected. I have opined over the Ferrari for years now, and bought a Gen 5 Viper GTS instead because it was the smart choice, and I couldn't be happier..........but................I still long for a mid-engine Italian sports car. The Alfa offers those of us who don't make double 6 figures a year to actually afford a mid-engine Italian sports car. Because, as I quickly realized, it's not the purchase price that's going to bankrupt you. It's the trips to the shop................ My brother is a pediatric dentist and I'm a lawyer. Honestly I think he makes a lot more money than I do, although we've never sat down an actually hashed out the math. He had a Ferrari 360 for about a year, and the last repair bill coming in at $12K caused him to sell it with red mist in his eyes on ebay with no reserve. I didn't buy one because I knew I could never afford a $12K repair bill...........ever. But, with the Alfa, it's going to be under warranty for several years, and even when that runs out, I can't see repair costs on a little 1.75 litre car costing that much. Now, if they just made it in a manual, the Lotus wouldn't even be on my radar...........but it is.............................but the ones I can afford have no warranty, unless I buy it through the dealer, and we all know the Lotus history for build quality...................arrrrrggggggg.........................first world problems :)
That hat though!
2:42 La Ferrari, no mention...really?
Great car I want one but saying it’s faster than the Elise is not true. Well not with the variants we have In Europe.
Ferrari 488 and La Ferrari pass and he didn't even glance! I'm not much for new Ferrari, but com'on show some respect lol
When U learn to drive this car, Who can follow U on dry payment European backroads then ???
895 kg dryweight whith real roof !! Please tell me !!
TK🇳🇴
I realize this car has a carbon tub but are the handling characteristics (Since power is not it's main focus) really worth 2.5 Grand touring hardtop MX5s?
Ferrari 488 @2:20, La Ferrari @2:41, Ferrari F12 @4:34
4:34 California T actually! not an F12 ;)
Can you please explain how your recording sound without the wind noise? If I mount my go pro on the windshield as you have done the wind noise is loud.
Great post guys!
"You've got a mural on the back of your Astrovan" hahaha I live right off the 1 and see that guy all the time. What a coincidence to see him on my favorite auto journalists' youtube channel!
who did you guys bribe to get PCH so clear? I've never seen it that devoid of traffic before.
Ah yes - the rich man's toy that they take for a ride because they're bored. . .must be nice.
was that a grey La Ferrari passing??
LaF @ 242 stealing the show lol
Watch how many Ferrari they pass. Even a LaFerarri where they hell are they at?
Not one mention of the three Ferrari's that went by? Slackers.
Meh..nice car..still would rather have a Cayman
Hahaha this guy ranting at the van's driver for no reason .
a stingray, a california, and a laferrari just casually drove by!!
Rosso alfa or Rosso Competizione tri-coat which is the original paintwork
2:22 - Ferrari 448 GTB = o.0
And La Ferrari at 2:42
+Miles Cartwright CAR HEAVEN! :O
+Cory the legend thats 488 GTB to you
Thamks
Blah, blah, fail to see how this is an everyday driver automobile. Put it in the city, in traffic, try to park it all over, on commute. That is an everyday driver. Extolling long winded over the top praise on long winding roads is not normal everyday behavior.
+aguilpa1 - We fully acknowledge this isn't a commuting or road-trip vehicle (we did both of those in our feature film that featured the 4C), but our show isn't about commuting. We're striving to help people find cars they'll enjoy "everyday" verses just commuting appliances. Ideally, a car that can do the things it has to do, but still inspire the driver to go drive for fun. Like everything there are compromises, and as mentioned, the 4C was great on this road, and this discussion builds on our larger film review. We hope you'll watch more of our work and get a sense of what we do. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Nice hat Paul...
this 4C spider looks like a Ferrari
Was that LaFerrari passing by?
what's up with the audio
I hate seeing exotics being reviewed because there's no way I can ever buy one of these. I subscribed back when they used to review normal cars real people could afford.
A lotus is 1/3 the price and almost identical. Used of course but who cares.
72k is fairly common price for a car near me. So i can see this as being a really great deal for italian muscle. However, I agree with you. I rather more cars under 55k reviewed.
love that Ferrari 488 at 2:22
Everything is beautiful on the 4C, but I just can't get over the ultra-bland exhaust note of the four cylinder.....nor those microscopic things on the rims, they call tires....looks like something off a Prius.
Ricardo Ellison I love this car and if I had the money it would difficult to not buy however, I agree the exhaust could be improved and maybe a slightly larger displacement so it's less overboosted.
2:22 Ferrari 488 gtb
nice hat
As soon as I saw the hat, I almost stopped watching ._.
+Jason Andrews You cant trust a guy wearing a hat like that
I know right?? He's such a douche!!
Todd should've got a convertible. A Miata is cheaper and do about the same thing, and it has a manual transmission.
Quang Lam Right. An ugly woman is cheaper and do the same thing... enjoy
Years later…just looking at some old video…Miata is still much cheaper and still has a manual, both great things…4C still howls down the road requiring high driver skill and is perhaps the most engaging drive this side of a race car. They are not remotely comparable.
You can put the Turbo kit on a Miata and it does the same thing, and has better top. The howl of a vacuum cleaner?
@@Victic005 hey, you can modify all you want, you can modify a 4C all you want as well. That’s cool. Buy what makes you happy. Most 4C spider owners could not give a hoot about the top but if that is important, definitely buy a Miata. Life can be short. Vacuum cleaner, sure if that’s what it reminds you of, definitely don’t get a 4C. I would never consider owning a Miata but have a 4C spider. If you are on the opposite end of that , cool. Have fun driving.
Ok. I will.
2:21 488 gtb
Like these cars, but they look like a tight fit.
Why do americans call a coupe a "coop" rather than a "coo-pay"? Not a dig, just wondering.
5th!
Why so many Ferraris on this road?
For $72k there should be no guessing in the transmission.
Fail.
You would think they do a software update from customer feedback.....
+RAY NL I couldn't agree with you more.
It's embarrassing that cars half this price have better automatic transmissions.
+RAY NL but the sad fact is most people driving these kind of cars literally don't know how to drive stick. They hear "driver's car" and just think its sporty or fun to drive.
The idiot reviewing the car apparently didn't use the Manual shift mode, where the transmission is perfect- no one who actually owns this car uses Auto mode and let's the computer decide what gear to be in.
+Meatpunch Yeah he's the idiot for using a feature advertised by Alfa, not Alfa being the idiots for including something that doesn't work as well.
LaFerrari spotted!
+Enzo Corona At 2:22? I think it's "just" a 458.
+George Polak at 2:22 is a 488 gtb...at 2:42 is a LaFerrari
No, it's a 488 GTB, look at the side openings.
LA FERRARI at 2:42
Such Beauty...Much Want...wow...
OK never mind, I wanted the coupe so badly...And now that I have seen the Spider, I think I MUST have it...
request for a 981 cayman/boxster review
$72 thousand? LOL.
I know. I bet it's all that carbon fiber. But it does hit 60 in 3.2
+Tom Hertz More than you can afford, pal. (F&F reference)
bogdan135 Sorry bud I'm a professional athlete and have a Lotus and a Porsche. You lose.
Tom Hertz Fast and Furious Ferrari reference, brah
bogdan135 Sorry I'm a grown up Bruh. don't watch silly movies
uhm, buying this small and nimble car and getting it in automatic is a sin. Just sayin'
Seriously, can't make the overlay in the corner go away. so f'n annoying, guess i'll watch on an ad-free platform
Burn the hat
the car is overpriced
Italian sportscar for under 100k???? Seriously?
