An Alfa Romeo 4C tuned by AMT Tuning, a partner of Boost Customs. A truly wonderful driving experience made even better. www.boostcustoms.ca www.amttuning.ca Thanks to Larry Morgan and Aaron Silverthorne for audio and video assistance.
I have the same engine in my Giulietta. Driving an Alfa Romeo is always special. You really let the viewer experience that feeling. Driving every Alfa Romeo is something special. The high output out of small engines, the steering, the sound, everything.
@@dylanoppeneer2354 Well, that's some time ago. I already have a 4C for 7 years. I sold my Giulietta back then. The engine and gearbox of the 4C are really different despite being the same for most part. The 4C has way harsher gearbox software. More punch, more feeling, etc. The engine is also more lively and vivid.
I can't stop laughing at Thomas's professor face kit. 🤣🤣😅 . Y'all have come a long way in numbers but I can't believe I missed it then. It's so good. ❤
This is my first comment on old test that they have been done on the 4C and you know what it was simply the best, not because you thrashed it around or you did all kinds of testing and came up with all kinds of numbers ,nor you did comparisons with other cars in its class , you simply drove it and you really loved it because a lot of us will never get the chance to drive it or much less own one , and you are absolutely absolved from willing to drive an Aztec as a daily driver just to have that in the garage . It's real passion you showed , I'm subscribing to your channel , it is my first u tube sub . My compliments to you .
+Antonio Amendola thank you sir. This was one of my early car reviews. The reaction you see on my face is genuine. In fact when I drive that car now I still get that feeling.
I just found TH about 2 weeks ago. It is the very best car review channel on YT. I am cracking up to see what a TH video looked and sounded like 6 years ago. Totally different world
I would have thought you would have gotten one of these by now? This video along with a few others helped my decide to pull the trigger on one last month! It is a beautiful thing! Love your reviews!
A very enjoyable review, you have a great presenting style. I have had seven Alfas over the last 30 years, I hope to add a 4C to the list within the next year and this video is making me impatient for that day..
I watched that one prior to this and it was also very enjoyable, I have driven a few Lotuses and I expected the Exige to be a lot faster than the 4c, the fact that it wasn't is a huge testament to the abilities of the 4C.
@@ThrottleHouse If it’s that much better with just a tune, I bet you could probably get close to another 100hp with some bolt-on’s? Down pipe, headers, exhaust and maybe intercooler? Or is that an over estimate?
Great review!! Thanx for the Canadian tuning info. I'm seriously looking at adding one of these to my garage: Gen 5 Viper GTS, AP1 S2000, WRX STi Hatch, 2015 Mustang.
What a great review! I care about the emotions a car digs up. I have overlooked the 4C because of no manual. Maybe I should drive one to see what all the fuss is about. The Noises and Looks are to die for!!!
Never even contemplated buying any Alfa Romeo but I drove one at the suggestion of a friend and omg I had to have one. What a ridiculous price for literally a supercar, especially if you get lucky enough to find a leftover at deep discounts. Then you might feel guilty driving it away but not 4 long. It feels sub 4 seconds stock! I own 2 sub 4 sec cars, I can tell. Wow is what I say every time I drive it. Anyone who owns one is lucky and blessed. As a daily driver I would not buy this car as it does have supercar like compromises.
Real Supercars are not so compromised these days, this thing is just so tiny there is no room for storage. These are like 0-60 in 4.4 sec stock arent they???
@@raymondnewbill5294 Yes, this is what comes to your mind and to the majority. But beeing not so compromised is the first compromise! I love Supercars AND my 4C for its character. If I need storage I use my other car. And I will not win the Champions League with the Alfa. But I'm feeling alive. That is mostly my target, haha
@Throttle House...I have a Giulia that I adore, and I see Thomas enjoyed this 4C very much. If I'm following correctly, he's very high on the BMW M2 right now. While we're waiting for the quarantine to lift, I wonder if you guys have thought about doing a "Throttle House All-Time Top 10," or something like that. Mostly, I'm wondering where this 4C is in your heart now, versus something like the M240 or M2.
I've always been a sucker for small, nippy, light vehicles. Unfortunately I am not in a place in life where I find myself passing a Maserati/Alpha dealership on my way to a Lotus dealership, so I bought a Ford Fiesta ST. Lol I don't know why throttle house never did a review on the Fiesta ST, they're pretty fun stock, but with a tune they really wake up. I absolutely love the 4C, but I've seen them priced pretty ridiculously. The only new one within 500 miles of me on AutoTrader is $88,000 US, and I'm pretty sure if you had that kind of money you can get a decked-out Ariel Atom with the Type R engine and even save money.
If you get you a FIXD OBD2 gadget, you can tell how fast you get to 60. I have one stock and you are right this car is just a joy to drive and I have driven many sports cars, some borrowed some rented and some owned but none speak to me like the 4c. My wife says the bark is not a bark is a racoon snort. and if you have had a racoon talk to you when it is unhappy that is the sound. I hope you get one, and thank you for a well made video.
Hehe, the little Alfa 4C is so communicative because it has a fully manual steering rack. No power assist whatsoever; nothing diluting the communication between the road and your fingertips. I think it might be the only mass- produced car available now (at least here in the US) without power steering.
Very good review, with a little bit of professional touch, a sneak peak under the hood would have been nice 😊, Still good vid👍. Do you have parking sensors on your e46? Would love a video on a neat and well positioned installation of a parking sensor/senors on a BMW e46 or your e46. Shouldn't be too expensive I think. Good work! thanks in advance.
Could you give us a review on H&R lowering springs for your e46. I've heard it's the way to go for being able to lower, but still have drivability. but I don't know if I should bite the bullet...
If FCA was healthier and could spare some extra $ to develop a N/A V6, say a 2.5l with 300hp at 9000rpm... Maybe with a Maranello touch, which is so frequently implied with QV models nowadays. It could be more expensive, yes, but they also could have gone with an aluminum body, the extra weight would be minimal. But even with that poor interior, it would be my dream car. The 1750Tbi engine is a fine modern motor but nothing special. And this car IS special.
I mean still sounds like a 4 cyl car. But a very very nice one. So far new Porsche 718 and this 4C sounds amazing for 4 cylinder cars. Probably going to buy one of these two. Hell maybe both
+ZDY both great cars. The Alfa is a more "special" car if you could quantify such a thing. Maybe I could find a 718 to compare to the 4c in an upcoming track test. I already have the 4c and a lotus exige set up.
The car doesn’t even have power steering, that much will have both of your hands guaranteed anyway a manual gearbox would make the car very tedious to drive I’d imagine
