As much as I love high-end cars, I don't think that you need to spend tons of money to have an amazing experience. In fact, for a lot less money than you'd expect, there's one car that will give a very unique combination of the modern and classic supercar experience! That car is the Alfa Romeo 4C! In this video I give you the introduction to my heavily modified Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, the least expensive car in my garage, but arguably the most fun! I know the power figures might not suggest "supercar" performance, but there's a lot more to the very misunderstood 4C than a lot of people realize. Let me explain. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
How happy this guy is driving. I want this energy 😂
of course is driving an Alfa 4c!
MY GOD finally someone who gets the 4C, thank you sir!
This car is a DRUG when driving on mountain roads. It's an amazing machine. I will keep mine forever.
Is alpha Romeo a reliable company?
@@SA-be1bn Alfa Romeo is under FCA. FCA has garbage reliability and poor built quality. Actually, I'm surprised that Car Problems is pushing his car so much with a tune. The transmission is the weak point. The thing with the 4C is that it's a very simple car. The panels can be removed like a race car, the engine is reliable, a lot of parts are shared with other FIAT/AR models. So even if things break ,they are cheap to replace. You wont be charged the Ferrari/Lambo prices. Italians do not give a shit about reliability. They want to make the sexiest car. They want you to connect with the machine. It's all about what you feel driving the car. I drove a lot of cars and the 4C is one of a kind.
@@samyb2834 I'm so dumb I never knew it was owned by fiat
Honestly the 4c haunts me and draws me to drive it like no other Porsche I have owned. I try to keep the miles down but it is hard. This is car is so much more rewarding than a psychologist.
@@samyb2834 The ALFA 4C has excellent reliability. In three different large sample reliability tests such as WhatCar for 3 year ownership of cars.....the first spots were the usual....Toyota, Lexus, but the first non Asian car was ALFA 4C which beat out Honda! BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Jaguar were way down the list. I bought my 2015 4C Launch Edition new and it has been trouble free. Many of the owners, including me, track them and it has proven to be pretty much bullet proof and never overheats even in very high ambient temperatures (this is a problem with many performance cars today....3 laps and than the go into cripple mode until cooled down....not the 4C). The Trans is NOT the weak spot....in stock condition or mild tunes it is fine. The trans is good for up to around 350 hp (engineering certified) and clutches last very long time. There is a strong after market support for suspension upgrades, etc. With just a few mods it is a terror on track. But even stock with better tires (the stock are junk for track use) it is very competent. If you want to learn more about the 4C join the ALFA 4C Forum...we have around 6000 members. I am one of 3 Super moderators there....RKBerta The car has cons of course, only 3.5 cf storage space, a little bit harder to get in and out (although I have no problem and I am 72 years old), no sound insulation to save weight so louder but it is a good loud, and basically completely impractical except for putting one hell of a smile on your face. I have other cars so not my only daily driver, but others do DD them and as long as you don't need lots of luggage space it is fine. By the way it has about twice the luggage space as the latest Ford GT ;-) I have owned other ALFAs...a 1970 ALFA Duetto I bought new and kept for over 40 years and a 67 GTV SCCA road racer. Lots of other cars have been in my garage from many countries and manufacturers. Only ALFA's makes me want to keep them for a very long time. I don't claim it to be the best or fastest car...but they are really special.
Yeah a list of mods would be super cool and a list of other mods you’d do would be cool too. 👍🏻
Go to the ALFA 4C Forum and they have all the mods and tricks discussed. In short....a good alignment with front toe set to 0, a better set of tires (the stock Pirelli PZeros tend to emphasize tramming) Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone all make tires hat are much better and improve the handling. If the steering is still a bit too nervous for your taste more caster will help. A couple of after market companies make spacers for that and give you more negative camber if you want to do more tracking. The car has plenty of power stock but a tune will make a lot quicker. You will be amazed how quick it is for a 106 ci engine....thanks to that light weight and a strong torque power band. Stock it will do 4.1 seconds 0-60 and mid 12 second quarter mile While it isn't a drag car the gearing and torque curve give it real grunt out of a corner and it doesn't need to always be wrung out at high rpm to get that power. There is plenty of after market support. One other advantage of a light car like the 4C is cost of consumables. Tires, brake pads, fuel, etc. will be a LOT cheaper than a heavier sports car like a Vette if your track it. The car gets excellent gas mileage also. Worse I get when hammered is 24 mpg. Normally it will run better than 28mpg and on long trips on freeways I get 34 mpg.
Alfa Romeo’s are just great.
Hammond said it himself. You just have to love Alfa Romeo
I like European cars if they are new after just like 3 years masserati alfa romeo will be broken and rolls royce like 4 and like 1 second for range rover if it lasts that long if I want a good deal I would get a dodge hellcat ford mustang gt350 chevrolet 206 what are under 50k and they are reliable all these cars were like 60k new 3 years ago they only lost 10k that's less than a toyota camry
The alpha 4c is great, but they have there share of horrible cars and reliability nightmare's
@@barjonahbuxton3264 Actually the 4c is pretty problem free...
Yeah the cheaper models there is a saying for them
"An average Alfa Romeo owner opens the hood more than the door".
I admitt the newer models are reliable and better looking.
Do you realize what you just did?! I've been wanting a 4C since I was in highschool (4 years ago). You single handedly are gonna drive up their value 🙄🤦🏻♀️😂
Same
you can buy a 2015 4c for 22,000 on autotrader NOW:) there are five of them!
Nailed it! "Perfectly flawed car". Took me 5 minutes of driving it to put my $$$$ down in 2015.
just traded my Mercedes for this little thing this week. Loving every minute of the 4C
Love my 4C! I have the same Competizione center exit exhaust, and your intake sounds like my V2. Nothing is really comparable to the way the 4C drives and makes you feel. :)
When you can't drive but you still watch this
The 4C is far cheaper right now for low mileage used ones than a C8 Corvette (mid-40s vs avg mid-60s to 85k) plus it’s far more uncommon (about 2500 produced), and IMO looks better. I say this as a Ferrari owner and huge C8 enthusiast - I have a lot of respect for the 4Cs.
More like 9000 produced but only like 2000 made it to North America (about 60-40 coupe to spider). I think was the numbers. Much rarer than a Porsche or a Lambo.
The yellow looks so much better in the sun. Great color combo with the white and blue too
finally, someone appreciates an Alfa 4c!
I have one and I love it!!
Thank you!
Forza Alfa!
3:59 Jacob started speaking straight facts
Love that look of that car! 😄Keep doing what your doing man!
@Gabriel Oliveira tu é br?
@@fernandodantas4170 no idea what this means, sorry 😢
@@GabeByte5 oh, your name is REALLY common here in Brazil, like REALLY
Honestly, I never rly liked corvettes. If I had to pick the 4C or a corvette I would go for the 4C.i think it looks more subtle and just nicer. I think u did the right thing buying this car Josh!!
Totally agree, I see so many corvettes, they are not special
The one thing not one person will ever under stand is this mans smile, unless you own or drive any of the Alfa's on the Market. These vehicle were made for the spirited enthusiasts! These machines are incredible and are guaranteed enjoyment to drive.
I got one. People who don't have one or haven't driven one a couple of times (takes a few), have no idea what they are missing. This car is like a secret. It's rarer than a C8 or Lambo, it is less money and grabs just as much as or more attention on the road. Probably more fun to drive as well. It's like a misunderstood masterpiece that will be appreciated as we move towards cars that do all the driving for us.
Josh pulls up to pick up games with the newest cleats and coolest cars 🔥😎
thanks for the enthusiastic vid! The 4c is a gorgeous car. I constantly grin like an idiot when driving my beatiful 4c. After some years of "stock"driving, I now also startet to heavily modify my bella, lot's of fun. New sub for you 👍🍀
Jimbo!!! Proud of you to being able to manage the two channel that you have... the area that drive by is beautiful... keep it up man!!! Looking forward for more from you...
I totally agree on the 4C. I had a yellow 4C Coupe at the same time as my Performante Spyder and never took the Lamborghini out!! I added stage 1 upgrade taking it from 240bhp to 280bp and did the geometry. Not sure why you spent over 15 mins saying how good it was without listing all the extras (surely you know a lot of them) and not including any B roll shots (that would require more than a camera in your car).
I agree with your review. The 4C is a great car. I have a 2015 Launch Edition bought new and LOVE it even more than when I first bought it. It is not a GT sofa with wheels car. It is a raw drivers car that takes no prisoners. Yeah, like any car there are areas that could be improved....but a couple of minor mods, a good alignment, and better tires will take it into the next level. They have proven to be pretty much bullet proof and while not Chevy or Ford cheap to maintain they are a LOT cheaper than other cars like Porsche, Audi, BMW, Jaguar and of course Ferrari or Lamboghini. They do have one issue for some....limited storage area, but I have never found that to be an issue. If that is a big issue for you than get a SUV. But you will miss a heck of a lot of fun. The car really is impractical for anything except putting one hell of a smile on your face every time you drive it.
Forgot to mention....before my 4C, I owned a 1969 ALFA spider bought new and kept for over 40 years. If I had the garage space I would still have it also. Loved that car very much. By the way a member of my ALFA club has a 67 ALFA duetto with over 300,000 miles on it and it still runs tops. Sports cars need to be taken care of and maintenance done regularly....and they need to be driven, garage queens of any car will have problems as a result of not getting enough regular exercise.
I also have a 2015 launch with a stage 1 tune and straight pipe exhaust. It such a great car
Exactly. I got my 4C and then I got my Lincoln SUV for storage. The 4C sucks for storage but it is FAR more fun to drive.
I love seeing you drive on the same roads as I do! Keep up the amazing content, your channel is probably the most underrated auto enthusiast channel! I bet your subs will blow up in the very near future!
Ps, its zed, not zee!!
Love the look of this car it’s stunning another great video mate
Yes we’d like to hear about the mods :)
The blow off valve sounds sick
Awesome content love the 4c and no one does videos on it. Please do a breakdown of the mods. This and the Elise/Exige are two of my favorite all time cars. The deals on the 4c are insane as well.
Love your videos man, please do moreee!
Never driven a 4C before but looks like a blast to drive! Being an Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio owner though I can for sure relate to the extreme fun experience, maybe one day they will bring out a 4C Quadrifoglio model! Great video!
I love the 4c! I am totally going to get one when I can afford one!!! Great video! I really enjoy your vids!!!
The content just keeps getting better and better. And as Jeremy Clarkson said, every petrolhead should own an Alfa. This just proves that even further.
Great video bro! Love the car!!
This channel is super slept on
I've lusted after one of these since I first saw one at the NY auto show in 2014... test driven the coupe and spider and they're an absolute riot!!! Seriously considering replacing my 997 911S with one later this year or next year!
Yeah that’s a nice car, love your video’s ✌🏼
The intake noises are awesome , you have the eurocompulsion intake? And the ecu swap?
I think a video on the mods done to the car would be awesome! Also that 4c is 🔥
the way you talk about stuff is interesting 🙏 just like the football boots . keep it up man
Great video👍
I have a heavily modified 4C also , id love to see the mods you have , also love the rims
nearly 600 likes and only two dislikes... it shows how much quality your videos have
Great Video👍
Most overlooked feature: SHORT GEARS
Bro u r the best...keep it up🙃
Yes please do a list cause I wanna see what I should get to upgrade mine
List of mods and dyno numbers would be great. Link to track video would be great too.
My only issue is that it's an Alfa with Alfa quality/reliability and how reliable it'll be down the road, especially pushing more boost.
Awesome car! do you mind sharing some photos of this beauty for wallpaper usage?
Nice review ♥️
thank you. For the promised 4c video
I started watching after I actually saw your yellow lambo exactly 3 years ago in St. Catharines I was shocked I even found u in TH-cam
Agree with all your comments. Greeting from another Ontario 4c owner
Gotta love the Alfa Romeo's. And yes please do a video on all the mods you put on the Alfa
The turbo sounds pretty sweet :)
I daily my 4C an I love it each time I get behind the wheel! 😁
Love the C4! severely underrated. Definitely on my radar to get one in the next 2 years.
C4 is really good preworkout 😉
Yep make a video of modifications and how much you spent and car insurance cost for this car thanks great video
Did you make any performance modifications to your GT-R when you had it? I just bought one, and wanted to know where I should get started with mods
It had an exhaust, along with lighter wheels and stickier tires. Beyond that I didn't mess with increasing the power. Had I kept it longer though, I'm sure that I would have.
Absolutely love my 4c that has all the goodies from Eurocompulsion
That’s a really cool looking Alfa
A video about the mods done to the alfa would be great!
Agree with you, the experience Alfaromeo give to you is unique...
It's pretty nice,! Love how da Syperfly 7 look better dou🙂
So do you think this car the 4c is better then the c8 overall? Dads thinking of getting a c8 but I want to make sure we both have the most fun. Also another question. Is it hard to get into?
I don't have any strong opinions on the C8 other than I think it's a lot of car for the money. Until I get to drive one, I can't really compare the two. What I can tell you is that nothing I've ever driven feels or offers the same experience as the 4C, but it certainly isn't for everyone. Also yes, it's not easy to get in and out of lol
Love the way you drive....the second you press on the gas pedal, you stop talking and concentrate on the road.
Love the alfa also 😎
Hey man, love your channel!
Got a question about the 4c, because you always hear that it's super cramped in the interior, how is the knee and headroom? For you it looks just fine but idk how tall you are, for example I'm 6'7" and I'm wondering if I could even sit in there.
I couldn't say for sure, and definitely go sit in one if you're considering one, but I would anticipate the 4C being cramped for somebody that tall. I'm 6' and there isn't an abundance of extra room.
@@carproblems8547 Thanks :)
Beautiful car! I would love to see you speaking about shifting with paddles vs going fully automatic
I find that the automatic mode grinds the clutch more than what's necessary at low speeds, especially in stop and go traffic. In general, the car doesn't like slow acceleration from a dead stop.
@@carproblems8547 does the 4c feely cheap inside in comparison to an R8 or huracan that weigh twice as much? I want the 4c because it is lightweight but I am affraid that it will feel really cheap when I drive it!
There are so many nice cars out there to choose from I just got myself a Mk1 TT for a 1000 Euros. My last sports car was a red F335 spider 1995 model. Ferrari what it is a great driver and looker but you get to much attention. The TT is great for what it is too and I use it everyday. As with this Alfa the TT has a 1.8 turbo engine at standard 180 BHP which is a fine balance of power and economy for everyday driving. I could just chip it to get more power of 220 or more but my eyes saw one of these beauties yesterday and I said to my son I want to get one as I have always liked the Lotus cars. Exactly what this video is about I feel the same way. I like the excesses stripped away similar to the Lotus for that pure sports driving feeling/feedback.
Yes I would like to know the mods and how reliable it is for I have a 4 c launch
Saw one of these in red in Capitola CA where I'm from and man it looked super cool!!! Lol... Thinking of getting one... Would u say the 4c is kind of like the Lotus Elise?... Also does it come in a manual transmission?
Elise us much cheaper
Nice whip
FINALLYYYYYY
p.s I'm considering buying this car in the future so...how does it hold up with everyday storage needs and so on?
Storage needs? If I'm not going to drive for more than 4-5 days, I plug in the battery tender. That's about it.
My dream car is a 4C Coupe (sorry, i don't like removable tops), however as i see your permanent smile on your face, this car suits you very well, even this is your cheapest car in your garage! :) Your face is the best answer for the little 'unkown' factory in Lombardia for their passionate works....
Always a joy to hear people who drives often more powerful cars, even supercars, that they still can enjoy this lightweight Baby Ferrari. Man, Your words are authentic statements.
I'm still loving my 4th Alfa Romeo in a row. I hope you'll enjoy yours for as long as you wish.
I think the same - although there are now after-market articulated 'hard' tops for the Spyder which look far better than the OEM cloth from outside, but can still be folded and stored in the boot.
Those who called you an idiot are just envious that you have money to splurge on what makes you happy. I would say - To each their own bro. Cheers...
Lovin mine also, great choice
Yeah, fun daily!
Can you tell us the cars data? Like what top speed can it drive at, HP and feeling in total?I know that you said that it is not that important but it still interests me
What’s that exhaust note when u hit your last gear?
I did 3-hour driving experience alternating between a Lamborghini huracan, a Ferrari spider, the mustang 500 Shelby, a regular seventh generation Corvette and the alpha 4c and out of all of them my favorite was the alpha!! And I was actually able to fit my 6'6 ass in it lol
Brother. I like your videos. Buy a alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio as a daily. They are so comfortable.
Was one on the list but went for the m2c.
The power to weight ratio is true. My Alfa hangs neck and neck with 480-500hp cars
Nice car justin
Rented one and it was super fun and was amazing overall
Does it have 4CC?
I’d be reaching for the clutch and gear leaver all the time. The first time my dad drove an automatic, he kept pressing the brake out of habit.
Please make a video of all the mods you have on your 4c
did you drive any lotus? Every time i think of 4C and it's competitors on market, unique car that comes in my mind is an Exige or Elise
Sadly the Elise and Exige aren't sold in US anymore. Have driven both and my neighbor owned an Exige highly modded and now a 4C also highly modded.Says the 4C is better....more power, more solid, more interior space and better looking (subjective of course). The carbon fiber tub is amazing....rigid as hell. Lots of potential with just a few minor mods. The Exige and Elise had a kit car feel to it and issues with trans and front suspension on the one with the Toyota engine.
But they are still neat cars....wish the newer 6 cylinder Exige Cup was sold here....but the price would be very expensive and Porsche would be a better buy and better car so would have a competitive disadvantage price wise. They Exige Cup would go for more than two or three times the price of a 4C here in the US.
How much do they cost there? In Portugal they go for around 60/70k €
Do you have an Instagram for your cars?
Aweaome video
Make the modifications list plz!!!
I'm a simple man. I see Car Problems I click.
Have a look at Jannarelly Design 1.
This is how many cars has
🔻
Can you make the video of the 4c
Bro now i want a 4C 😂
Not better than a Ferrari, Lamb, Aston, McLaren or my own Porsche. BUT I'm still adoring to buy one next!
How problematic is it to daily drive this car? I get that the cargo space is extremely limited but what else? How annoying woudl the lack of power steering be after a while? I'm dying to get this car but it seems wrong to daily it.
Love My 4C!!!
