- Alfa Romeo Ottawa set me up with this beautiful Alfa 4C and it was so amazing to drive. I had goose bumps driving it. In this video I wanted to share my experience and talk quickly about why this car is under-appreciated.

Just produced 3000 worldwide. In few years price will grow a lot!!
I daily drive my Launch Edition, it's been bulletproof and puts a smile on my face everyday! The only problem is now I don't think I'll be able to drive anything but a true sports car from now on lol
Lol, I feel your frustration too 😁
how about an Audi RS6, I would take that on a snowy day as we get 50cm+ .
@@thedevthing The new design on the RS6 is so slick and it's offered in NA so maybe not a bad idea. I'm actually really interested in seeing the Tesla pickup truck unveiling as well. Idk why, I'm not a huge truck guy, but I'm super intrigued by it lol
Nice. Just be prepared for a muted, face peeling experience. You won't know what hit you as you press the throttle. Lol
My favorite sports car!!
I'm from Cleveland Ohio and have one..People luv it and I do too
Awesome man. It's such a back to the roots driving experience and I loved driving it. I think it will be a future classic.
What's the long term ownership like? Any issues you encounter?
@@thedevthing I had mine for 2 years..I had no issues just basic maintenance oil changes tire rotation etc... But it's been fine. I know another guy who has one he has over 70,000 miles on his 4c he tracks the car and drives it all year around and in the winter ofcourse he has winter tires. But the only issues he had was a front bearing that's it!!
I think where the only two in Ohio that have 4cs there rare here
@@tommyalexander2089 really just simple maintenance? The Alfa Romeo is known as a money pit car just like BMW. If what you just done simple maintenance on your 4c , then wow you know how to take care of it.
@@93mlo My 4c is a 2017 with 9500 miles on it..I really dont drive it hard or too much either..But I don't know what the future holds😐😐🤔🤔
I do love these cars. I’ll be grabbing one myself soon. But, I do have an issue with one thing you said. You said that it was a pure sports car without any driving aids, but the only “driving aid” it does without is power steering. It still has power brakes, ABS, and traction control.
All in all, though, great review. First time seeing your channel. Like it a lot.
Thank you for correcting. I get these cars for a few hours and I do my best to research and collect info. 😅😅 sometimes I get the info wrong. I am glad there is a community out here to set the record straight ✊😃
Birthday present to myself for sure 🥳👀
Some good deals on these right now...now is the time to buy
Fully agree, buy it and hang onto it for the next 6-10 years, this thing is going to be a classic.
Belíssima máquina italiana 💪🏽
Totally agree. 😁
Great video! Couldn't agree more! The 4C definitely deserves more appreciation and respect.
It is sad to see most mainstream auto journalist bash the 4C about its lack of trunk space, cheap materials and 90s stereo. But who cares! The 4C is meant for fun and pure driving pleasure. These biased journalist never complaint about lack of trunk space on a Lambo or McLaren. And their defense is that daily usability is irrelevant for those supercars. But wait, isn't the 4C also not meant as a daily? It is just a baby supercar with all the performane elements of a full-size supercar except the price!
Agree with all you say. Sadly I hear rumours that they will stop making the Spyder also. This would be really sad. Eager to see what Alfa has lined up for the future.
@@thedevthing Yes I heard that as well. 2019 is the last model year for the 4C. I better act quick to buy one as I'm sure it will be a future classic.😄
Only, it’s not cheaply made nor does the stereo suck (Alpine unit at least). But it is fast, fun and actually inexpensive to run.
PEOPLE ONLY KNOW COMERCIAL CAR , ALFA ROMEO NOT IS FOR EVERYBODY, ALFA ROMEO IS A LEYEND
Fantastica ❤
😃🙏🙌
I wish I had this , and a lotus Elise to go along with my ND super light cars all 3 of them
Oh man, I had to look up ND super light and wow it's amazing. My pick would be the Lotus Exige 380, though it does not play well the group of rides you mentioned.
It's great! I own both, an Elise SC and an Alfa 4C. Best modern driving machines available for the price!
Beautiful car. Weight is less than 2500lbs
I own a 2016 coupe white exterior and red leather interior it’s a very unique car that stands out on the road. Would I buy another one absolutely lol. 0-60 in 4.1. Turbo boost can put ya in your seat. I’m a 26 year old female and seeing anyone in one of these is rare let alone 26 year old. Oil changes are easy if ya do it yourself. Good gas mileage. Nimble. Raw. Reliability has been good so far. Full exposed carbon fiber tube. No muffler or power steering your in full control. Hand built only so many made coupe wise. Overall Not much to complain about other than not driving it in the winter lol. If your looking for creature comfort it’s not the car for that. It’s basic inside all driver oriented.
It’s basically like a cross between a Ferrari 458 and a Lotus Exige the best of both worlds I guess. Not to mention Alfa’s rich racing heritage. Is it the fastest car no but it’s a rocket kid ya not wouldn’t advise dissing it cause it’s a 4 cylinder it’s a beast. I’ve raced and beat 2 hemis and 2 mustangs. It’s quick in dynamic mode push it in 3 gear and hold on lol.
I am with you, a lot of car owners have become lazy with all the tech add to cars today. This sports car is analog and it demands you attention and that’s a good thing. I just wish 4C had a manual option, it would have been even more epic.
I think we need to support these types of cars so we can drive the cars rather than the cars driving us.
Kori Caldwell compliments for Your choice!! I have one 4C black 2016 and I m starting to tuning! Keeping all the original part!
I will make the 4C Mega.
Here in the USA we are sheep. We buy what others buy. While virtually every vehicle sold here has "sport" in the name, we are really only interested in comfort, the opinion of others, and security. We need to feel safe, comfortable and to impress our neighbors. The Alfa Romeo 4C doesn't click any of these boxes, and it won't carry an overnight bag.
You need to do your home work. 1.7 liter turbo. It also
Has launch control , ABS ect. Great car. But know your facts before videoing
Mid engined sports car, carbon fiber tub, hand built by Maserati and just 3000 built and even fewer Launch editions built. All the hallmarks of future classic. Watch this space!
I think we will see a similar trajectory to the BMW 1M 😃👍
@7:20 those legs need some tan!!!
Lol for a moment I thought you were talking about my legs 🦵
well if i had money for it. that would be great. taxes are too fking high, let alone insurance in my country. otherwise i would have bought 5 of them already.
😄 import taxes with certain countries are like 100% essentially paying for the car 2x. We are lucky i guess. If people don’t buy more of them, they will stop selling them here.
Which country you from?
@@thedevthing I'm from belgium. I searched later this day what it would cost to run and operate an alfa romeo 4c. It's possible on that aspect if you had a high paying job and still live at your parents.
-Insurance
Because young people are a higher risk at the road my estimate would be around € 3000 a year maybe less, maybe more i don't know (for a second hand) and it's a fast sports car(also a reason).
I own a car with just 155bhp from 20 years ago. it would cost me around 800 a year of insurance. taxes is € 600 a year.
First they didn't want to insure me. a sports car from 20 years ago??? and just 155 bhp??? it's not that crazy fast. 8 seconds. lmao
-Taxes
on year base for a second hand is take € 300 taxes. you have to pay € 700 taxes more the first year.
If you bought it new it would be € 300 more the first year. insurance would obvious be alot more because it's a new car. i thought it would be a lot more too be honest.
-Loan
If you would take a € 60.000 loan for take 5 years.
it would be just € 13.000 the first year with taxes.
Let's say running cost icl. gasoline,maintenance,... € 4000?
It would cost maybe € 20.000 a year? (i could be wrong) and if you earn just € 20.000 a year without taxes withdraw and such. Have fun buying it :D
shitty calculation bit it's an estimate :)
Miata or Boxter... that’s the problem no one compares a Porsche with a Mazda as it is, so those choices were too wide in range for a comparison. The Alfa Romeo is a niche market, especially with the 4C. We are Alfisti.mn.co
Very good point and I agree with you for most aspects of the car except the back to basics driving experience. It’s just that from a pure driving experience those are the rides that offer that sort of experience. Miata from a price point it outside of the 4C radar. Thought I found myself looking to see if there was a cheaper alternative to the 4C and I found myself looking at the Miata. I was like “I can get the raw experience and I don’t have to break the bank” i didn’t mean for it to be a comparison in that sense. I was expressing my thought process when I was pricing out the 4C.
Didnt know i had a 2.0 engine lol
😂😂😂
It is not a 2.0L it is 1.75L 4C
Thank you for correcting that. I got it wrong in the moment. Will put a card up in the video to clarify.
Sorry bro way off on weight it is 2464 lbs still very light weight but 1700 ??
Average price already growing 10 k euro in 2019.
It’s an investment now 😃
M B the prices are still going down in the US. I suspect you’ll be able to pick them up for less than the used Losuses (Lori?) soon. But, I’d give it about 5 years. Then they’ll start going back up.
Cat with a diphthong yes I know. But this is just in Us.
In the rest of the World is already groing up a lot.
M B my point was that in the US people don’t recognize (yet) how special this car is. So, still some time to grab one.
Cat with a diphthong completely agree with You. So it could be a good bargain for the right appassionates👍👍
You know why?? Because people are not able to drive! Tuning this Baby You can achieve 320 Hp !! People love just touch screen..
Haha. That's real good to know. 320hp in this would be an absolute monster.
Prabhul Dev yessss 285 just with new ECU!! New filter! Down pipe and Exhaust and will be 320
Italian cars are under appreciated because of the false propaganda paid by its adversary.
Why? Because it ain’t got a manual, that’s why... Not trying to start another manual vs auto war here. Love this car but I think the real comparison is a Lotus Elise/Exige, which unfortunately they don’t sell the S3 no more in North America.
its actually 2300 pounds and 1.7 liter lol
Birthday present to myself for sure 🥳👀
