I think you have put together a very good and fair review as many 4C owners and ex-owners think their 4C is the best thing since slice bread. I have a 4C, which I use as a track car. On the road it is not very good at all apart from the odd occasion when you are in the mood for it. I also tested the A110S and from my point of view, it is the best road that can be used as a daily that money can buy. It's better in almost every way but the rawness of the 4C makes it a better track car. However if I had to choose between the two, I would still go for the 4C! Strange
Really enjoyed this first impressions review Stef 👍I liked that you made comparisons to the Alfa 4c as they are very similar cars. Also the POV shots really immerse the viewer as if they're driving it and it shows how nimble and agile the lightweight body of the Alpine A110 is. Please do more POV shots in your videos in the future! Keep up the great work.
I own a4c and i am a true alfa lover! However, the Alpine looks great and definitely has the looks and way better interior than the 4c! Would love to have one to have an opinion on its driving dynamics! Great video stef!!!
A very good review I did notice that you are shown the gear you’re in, and this is something that Petrolped Mentioned on a different car recently didn’t,t have the gears displayed he would have liked which he would have liked to see, so the Alpine seems to be a well rounded car that doesn’t,t want to kill you.👍
Ooof... that sound with the crackle when you open the valve! Music to my ears. I've always wondered how you would rate this one, having lived with the 4C. I also think in an ideal world where money wasn't an issue, I'd have the 4C as a weekend car and something else as a daily (probably a Volvo V60 or something haha). But if I had to choose one and only one car, this is so very tempting. But of course, I could never pay this kind of money for a car, nor is it available in Argentina hahaha. But one can dream! Lovely machine and great review, Stef!
There is definitely something that I like about this car, it certainly looks good too! I do like how manufacturers recreate cars from the past, it should be applauded. One thing I DETEST though is the gimmicky centre console screen - on what planet does needing to know precisely what the steering angle is (among a host of other things) seem like a good idea? Knowing the precise angle of my front wheels is not really high on the list of priorities when driving a car on track, or on literally any road for that matter... ;)
I've been waiting SO long for you to try one of these. I'm glad you got your hands on the 'S' too. They keep their value too. Not many popping up for sale
I love these in OZ we only have the A110 Australian Edition with a plaque numbered up to 60 blue coloured with French badging around and unusual square patch leather on the seats . Another great review Stef !
I tested it a week ago and loved it. Stef, you should drive it in a twisty road, where you'll get the best of the A110/S . And if you haven't driven the A110 (standard) please have a try. I would it more fun than the S version. Anyway, thank you for sharing.
Good review...nice piece of Engineering.. Very light so a liitle short of 300hp is more than adequate. I would love one of these.. As i purchased my MINI JCW ALL4 (302HP)after the review you gave the one you drove.. And im not dissapointed with that in any department.
Great review Stef. I have a 4C and adore it with my heart - It is a stunning thing and I have had the full alfa workshop do-over with the suspension and ECU. However, it's rarely relaxing to drive, still feels edgy on anything other than smooth roads, is evil in the wet and the power delivery is far from linear with an inconsistent TCT shift. The Alpine seems far more complete - safer, more refined and easier to punt along in. In all honesty, I don't think I could ever sell the 4C - it's a love affair and the looks are so arresting - add in the carbon tub and loony toons noises and it is a real event - plus it has real perfprmance. However, the Alpine is still tempting and I think a better car.....If I could only have the one car, I reckon I'd be in this. Fortunately I have a similarly modded Giulietta QV as a daily....Your observations and narrative are bang on, as is your emotional preference to the 4c!! Good job man.
Nice review Stef, it looks like a cracking car apart from the price. Interior reminds me a bit of your 124. A small, lightweight sports car should never be as much as this for me, it’s pretty exclusive I suppose but so much money for what it is. A new cayman starts at £47k, even that is well over priced for me. You should be able to get a quick 2 seater sports car for the same price as a hot hatch but they seem to have spiralled out of control.
Great clip Stef! Interesting comments on it especially given you're comparing A110S and not the bog standard A110 vs the 4C given price (especially as the 4C will be from the 2nd hand market) and power difference. Never tested the 'S' but having had a crack at the standard 110 and the 4C, I went 4C spider. Oh and it's daily'd too ha ;)
I know it is so late, but let's be honest...the 4C is my dream car. HOWEVER, if I look at myself with my mediocre skills (we are all mediocre unless there's some pro racing driver here) struggling to get the best of the car, not having ease for parking, going in and out and, again, not being able to drive it as fast as it can go...torquing bolts to the chasis every 20k km, etc. The beauty and "event feeling" of the Alfa's got a big big price. I think this car will make me happier even not being my so dreamed 4C. Heart says 4C, real world happiness says 110S.
This certainly sounds wonderful and well tuned, and it's probably more sophisticated than the 4C in many ways, but I have a feeling that I'd get bored of it very quickly if I got the A110 for weekend joy, unlike the 4C. It'd suit better as a daily car that provides a moderate, controlled level of satisfaction.
With respect I disagree, I talk about my personal experience, the Alpine delivers much more pleasure than the 4C, I dance with the road the way I couldn’t do with the 4C because I don’t trust the car and I don’t trust my skills to keep it on the road when I play with the limits. With the Alpine I feel safe, I keep driving with a big smile, sometimes I even laugh, in the 4C I don’t smile, I am serious, I am focused, I don’t want to crash the car. We’re all different, perhaps a better driver will prefer the 4C (but i’m not sure I have the feeling that performance wise the Alpine will be faster almost everywhere) I respect the fact that some people think otherwise.
@@arno222444 You also make perfect sense to me. Stability and predictability is one of the most important factors when driving on mountain roads (as you put it, at a dancing pace), and I guess the A110 got the upper hand in that respect, regardless of the driver's skills. Probably the different preferences come from whether you are a rally-type or track-type person. I don't push too hard outside race tracks and the 4C is stable enough at a legally acceptable pace, but the A110 should be much more suitable if I do push to the limit on twisty roads.
@@arno222444 A late response. In the long run, the 4C will make you a better driver; it asks to be driven quickly, smoothly and cleanly, like a race car. A car like the Apine is easier to drive quickly as it is more adaptable to the driver's inputs, but that quality does not ask you to improve your driving habits. It's very informative to look at some TH-cam videos of the 4C and Alpine together on the track. The Alpine will be all over the place, darty and tail-out in the corners, while the 4C tracks flatter, smoother and calmer in getting the job done.
I tested both the 4c and the Alpine A110S 2021. The Alpine ha a major design flaw in the steering wheel. In tight corners it's impossible to shift gears because the paddles are detached from it. With the 4c you can change gear in every situation, just like a F1 car and it's a huge winnig feature! Anyway the're both fun to drive but the 4c wins for me 😊
We haven't had any French cars for decades. And the market is so crowded, I'll doubt well ever see these here. Great car, but you'll be stuck with a Cayman.
@@23Piccolina Thank you for telling me what has been going on my own country, especially since I know nothing about cars, starting with the 1974 Fiat Spider I bought new.
Yes...In every way...I could elaborate...But this brilliant car won't sell anyway, you won't see it on the roads much. People will buy the little Alfa still.
@@SlumRacing Alpine is owned by Renault, not by Nissan...Anyway A bland neo-retro look, a sports car too tall to be applied as a true Alpine, and it was designed to sell a lot, at a much lower price ... Will of the Caterham boss Except that when he "retired", they launched it at the price of 718 without doing anything on it, so... Insufficient sales.
In my opinion it's a little bit difficult to compare a beautiful Alfa Romeo 4C with a car quite ugly like the Alpine 110S. An Alfa Romeo will always be better when you compare it with a Renault.
😂 In MY opinion it is completely different. 4C nice. A110S (bought it) brilliant. Also the look of 4C is to agressive and the A110S is wonderful designed. Looks better in real life as on pictures 👍 People are different ... I love my A110S and smile every day during driving it 👍
I dont get it. People wanna buy a lightweight driver focused car and complaining about lack of comfort, not much storage space and shitty interiors. Get yourself a sporty sedan folks. I would like to see the 4c even rawer than it is already. Thats what such cars are all about. F*** laptimes as long as it gives me shivers down my spin every sec.
@@dejafastfingersra9661 they‘re all pussies. i‘d daily my 4c if i wasn‘t such a sucker for low mileage😂👌🏽 i actually think the 4c is quite comfortable especially with 17inch in the front and 18 in the back
Nice review After making a fool of myself getting in and out of a 4C I was resigned to never having one …… that and its freaking wide, it would not fit in my garage. So when the Alpine110 came out I have been keen, very. However, at this time my financial ducks are not lining up (kids !!) so I resigned to keeping my Abarths (not a total onerous task).
You are right Stef!! 4C is an event Car! That’s why price is growing up on daily base! Alpine model S is a great car also easy to ride on daily base. I love my 4C is my Baby that i use in the WE to make smile on my face. My anti stress! Like my motor bike. My first car is a Suv🥺 and it is ok .. like a my sofa in the house🤣🤣
I have owned an Alpine in the past so I'm not a hater, but the elephant in the room is it's FUGLY whereas the Alpha is absolutely beautiful. If you want a daily get a Volvo and have the Alpha as something for the weekend.
A few years later, people probably will start to forget the A110 like most good sportscar the 4C though .. it's a reincarnation of 60s exotic cars Also, the A110 does not even come close to the 4C beauty
The A110 has two main flaws: A bland neo-retro look, a sports car too tall to be applied as a true Alpine, and it was designed to sell a lot, at a much lower price ... Will of the Caterham boss Except that when he "retired", they launched it at the price of 718 without doing anything on it, so... Insufficient sales.
How the Alpine project was born: French engineers: - Hey, Alfa made an absolute gorgeous lightweight car, so let's build something similar, competitive car ...
Brand created in 1957. 1957: A106, 509kgs, 791cm3. 1962: First A110, average weight 625kgs, 125hp. 1973: First winner of the modern WRC. Alpine IS an historic automaker with the same identity since the 50's (except the deep sleep between 1995 and 2012): agility, fun, lightweight.

@@mesasartworks I tried to explain that this car was a real revival of what Alpine used to be and not a simple and lazy copy/paste of the 4C. The 4c is a great car though and Alfa, one of my favorite automaker even if FCA is castrating all the possibilities of this iconic brand.
All right @@Ahmed.Clermont! Actually I didn't say that car is a copycat. I tried to explain in a funny style (like hold my beer) that the idea was influenced by the Alfa who made a lightweight small supercar into production. That's all. A bad joke, may you didn't notice. I like both of them, however i'm an Alfa guy. :) peace
Get the normal A110, the S has the same 0 to 60 and really only has more power when pushing hard. Plus it isn't ideal IF used for a daily as its a lot stiffer.
You are doing everything wrong. This car isn't designed as a hot hatch or for a hooligan. It's style and performance for the discerning man or woman. Why do you keep dropping gears and hammering it..? Anyone who is buying an Alpine it's because of its individuality and history together with its performance.
"I prefer the 4C because it might kill me"
I can respect that.
I absolutely LOVE that about the 4C how it tries to kill me every time I hit some canyons with it 😁
Pourtant la boîte de la 4c est ratée, très très lente
YES! My A110S is my daily dosis of SMILE!!! I love it!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I owned a 4c for three years....the best car I've ever had....
Alpine a winner all day long for me.
There are hundreds of A110 reviews but this one is actually a good one :)
I really, really wish they sold these in the USA; very well might have bought one over my 4C if that were the case!

Alfa 4c is maybe the biggest Alfa flop in recent times and Alpine is probably the best sport coupe in the world.
Honest review. Good insight. Cheers
That really is a very elegant, classy car!😍
I liked the car, ( did a review myself on my tiny channel ) but , to be honeset the raw effect of that carbon tube on the 4C, can't be matched ;)

What was the problem with the suspension on 4C?
You lucky bastard! 😉
The 4c is more exclusive, more dangerous. I own a 4c Spider, and like you've said : every ride on it, it's an event.
Me too - the 4c Spider is far better looking. And let’s face it, it’s Italian not French!!!
That car is as sweet as f imho...👌

Awesome car, do not need the S, the base would be great. Understand he Alpine is the Gordon Murray daily, says a lot.
Love it. Great car.
It’s mega

@@mesasartworks I tried to explain that this car was a real revival of what Alpine used to be and not a simple and lazy copy/paste of the 4C. The 4c is a great car though and Alfa, one of my favorite automaker even if FCA is castrating all the possibilities of this iconic brand.
All right @@Ahmed.Clermont! Actually I didn't say that car is a copycat. I tried to explain in a funny style (like hold my beer) that the idea was influenced by the Alfa who made a lightweight small supercar into production. That's all. A bad joke, may you didn't notice. I like both of them, however i'm an Alfa guy. :) peace
Lo sapevo 😀
nice car,but Alfa 4C is for very man.
Heads straight to Autotrader.....realises theyre £54k+ 😥
Not cheap :( but a brilliant car
Get the normal A110, the S has the same 0 to 60 and really only has more power when pushing hard. Plus it isn't ideal IF used for a daily as its a lot stiffer.
For me you could of said nice a bit more.
Nice!
The Alfa 4c is better car!
Shity car
Shitty comment!@@MrBreakingBud
@@MrBreakingBud Shitty comment, mate.
Ricordo che l'Alfa 4c e' uscita 4 anni prima e ha una cilindrata leggermente minore..
Your speaking way to quick in rushed crazy Manner calm down calm down 😆
I speak fast lol not the first time I’ve heard this 😂
Such a yawn in comparison to the 4C in all ways
배기음 쥑이네
Just one look and I know witch one is better. Alfa of course. This one is so ugly !
Is it a better 4c?
Good lord no, just look at the thing. 4C is one of the best looking sports cars on the road and this is by far one of the ugliest.
Agree on styling but I still think it looks good
The alpine looks like a mix between a Clio and a Vauxhall ..
Ugly..
Please don’t compare with the Alfa Romeo 4C!
Forza Alfa Romeo 🍀
Alpine best drive the 4c Bad drive
You are doing everything wrong.
This car isn't designed as a hot hatch or for a hooligan. It's style and performance for the discerning man or woman.
Why do you keep dropping gears and hammering it..?
Anyone who is buying an Alpine it's because of its individuality and history together with its performance.
