The Alfa Romeo 4C is a mid-engined sports car with a carbon tub, DCT and Italian heritage. It legitimately looks like a baby Ferrari. With some nice bolt on modifications and a tune, this 4C is pushing 300HP, a healthy increase from stock...especially when you consider how light this car is! With no power steering, a "minimalist" interior and excellent driving dynamics, this thing is so much fun to drive. When new, the 4C carried a pretty high price tag, but now a couple years later you can easily find one for around $45k, making it without a doubt the most exotic car you can buy for this kind of money.

I have a Giulia Quadrifoglio. Love it. I just drove the 4c, and it is definitely a car that is different than anything I've ever driven. Lot of fun, very nimble and just a joy. If I didn't love my Quadrifoglio so much I'd get the 4c.
The QV is great! Love driving them
Hows the reliability
Congrats on your Quadrifoglio. That is a top class car. With 110 yr heritage.
@@ricola1759 The 4C is super simple and reliable car!!
I currently have a qv an am considering a 4c but I'm worried the swap is a mistake!
Good job covering the 4C! I've "had them all" but I still kept the 4C LE #183. It's just such a unique driving experience and the exterior design is such a beauty. I get compliments constantly. Subbed.
Been following you since the early VV days. You inspired me to start my own channel. Happy to see how you've matured and evolved. Keep up the authenticity my Chinese brother 🔥. This channel will blow up I know it!
A lot of people misunderstand those cars, It is not a daily, but a weekend/track toy. 4C is for someone who's looking for that raw feeling of the Exige, but with a little more style and refinement. Not everyone can own it, you have to be the right size to enjoy it.
I daily mine no problem
I used to daily an exige v6s for 3 years and I loved it. This 4c is more comfy so feels a little less raw. I now daily a guilia qv :) so nothing is too much when you're young
Matthew Huynh Haha, key part: When you’re young. :)
@@oyurcha1 I had the exige at 31 so yeh that's sorta youngish I guess haha. I have the evora 410 as my weekend car now so it's all good in the land of lotus
Went for a ride in my buddy’s 4c. It’s essentially a really fast go kart/ race car. The one thing I don’t really remember from this car is that with the engine right behind you it is deafening. Anyone who owns this car will suffer hearing loss
Mini Scud! For sure.
The front trunk does not open, good to know.
I think people are tuning it just for the tune
the stock is intense enough for me
I don't think I'll do anything for it, especially within 2-3 years of owning
Manual transmission is great but it will be a handful because the RPM goes to the red line so fast combine that with a twitchy steering. I have a 6 speed manual Cayman S that’s 2800 plus lbs and 330 HP, I don’t miss it when driving the 4C because the weight makes my Cayman feel like a luxury sport sedan.
Sherman you are 100% correct. I went from a manual Boxster S to the 4C. I like the 4C significantly more for the "rush" you get when accelerating and cornering. Given the manual steering and tramming that happens as a result you need both hands on the wheel at ALL times. In addition I like driving F1 style with both hands at 3 and 9 oclock ALL THE TIME especially when cornering. Love the 4C, going to get my tune this month.
You are absolutely correct.
Awesome video
Thanks!
That center console looks like my 08 Tiburon.
Why is the check engine light on and flashing?
Great car dude. Its very cool. Ditch the Bridgestones and go with Pirelli P Zero summer tires. They don't last a long time, but they grip like nothing else.
I think I bought that exact car recently, would love to know more about it.
"Knock on carbon fiber"
🤣🤣🤣
I need help...I have 3 cars: 2009 Toyota RAV4 limited V6 (my daily), 2007 Accord a coupe EX-L V6 manual and 2007 Acura TL Type S manual...What should I sell/trade the two Honda’s for if I have a $35K budget? I’d like it to be sporty, with a manual but have some utility...
Golf R
Nice vid. I know the 4c doesn't have power steering. Is it really heavy to turn the steering wheel at dead stop?
Quite heavy haha. Parking is an arm strength exercise
Not hard at all to turn the steering wheel as long as the car is moving.
@@EddieX that's so awesome haha
I have an 05 Toyota Sequoia, 1/4mile ,6 mins, and that depends if I went grocery shopping or not, give or take .5 secs.
Just saying.
Im thinking about buying this vs ford mustang gt. Any suggestions eddie?
Depends. Do you have a other car to daily drive
@@EddieX I have an m2. But for grociers and stuff I have civik.
Buy if you can the 4c is unique
No brainer. The 4C is on the different level. Your money will always be there with the 4C if you ever decide to sell it. The prices bottomed out and are on the way up. Production stopped.
I need
❤
Bros talking about putting headers on a turbo charged car 😆
Not practical is part of beauty, I have 911 turbo which doing everything, less character compared to 4C
Get some 305 tires in the back
That's not possible with factory bodywork lol
Hey Eddie X, you look like a CN Homeboy(H*ll yeah to me). Are you? Loved HK last time i visited, but 8 years is a long time I guess. Great vids mate. Keep em coming...
Parents are from China, I was born in America and grew up here
@@EddieX Ok. Not that it matters but you are the first showing a tuned 4C. Respect! Just taught you were from Korea and wanted to be set straight. Great review.
EddieX 大哥 你父母是中國那里的？

Beautiful car. But that dash is 10 years old in styling and materials
well , the first model year was 2013
Simplicity is what this car is all about!
After watching this video I’m even more relieved I went for the Cayman S. That interior and road noise is ridiculous, sounds just like my Evo 9 MR from 2006. I genuinely grow resentful of cars I hate sitting in because of road noise/bad dampening/uncomfortable seating. I feel like the 4C is more toy than the Cayman, handles better but everything else is worse by 10x.
I actually think Cayman handles better, but 4C feels more raw, it's a great 4th/5th car while the Cayman can be a driven all 7 days of the week. Also, I think the 4C exterior looks way better than Cayman (which looks great on its own)
@@yaoxiao1602 4th/5th car, Jesus ya'll have a weird perspective on life...
@@boostedtrav it's more of a saying that this car is "just a toy", in most driving situations theres a car that's better suited
@@yaoxiao1602 I was making a joke and sure there may be better-suited cars. But, for some, it doesn't matter. I'd daily a 4c before most DD capable cars.
@Boosted Trav Then why do you drive 2 GT cars? Neither the M3 or Evora are raw and light like the 4C. Both cars are miles ahead in livability than a 4C, not only because of size but also the interior and sound dampening. The 4C is a drivers car and like my old Evo 9, not great for dailying.
2500lbs is allot heavier than i thought these were. miata is only 2000lbs
US regulations man, in EU these cars are only 1900
@@yaoxiao1602 US is 2300 pounds and the miata its smaller. see them side to side and you ll realize the difference
@@AM4project yes i know, since the car was developed for EU regulations first, they had to reinforce the chassis a lot and. thus it became much heavier. I think if they developed for US regulations first they could shave a lot of pounds
Its light compared to other cars. Mustang is 3500 lbs
2015 MX5 weighs around 2500-2600lbs. The 2020's are a bit lighter at around 2350-2400lbs. So the Euro versions of the 4C are actually lighter than the MX5 and the U.S. versions are about the same weight, if not slightly heavier than the newest MX5's.
First
WHY. Uncomfortable unreliable impractical parts hard to get and way overpriced
The 4C is super reliable and a huge bang for your money. Get your facts straight.
Robocop 305 The reliability index is 214 for reliability which is very poor FACT. OSV uk. Alfa come in at the top 5 unreliable cars. Toyota and Lexus are number one for reliability. That’s the true facts . Like or not
@@colin2936 I don't know about the other models. I'm talking about the 4C. The 4C is such a simple car that don't have much to fail. I have owned plenty of sports cars to include Lexus, etc and they all had some issues. My 4C has been super reliable. Like any other first year production cars, some 2015 had some isolated issues that were fixed by doing a software update. Aside from that the car has been bullet proof.
