Alpine A110 real-world review 

As a person in the states I'm incredibly jealous of folks in the UK/EU that can get their butts into this car. Cheers from Minnesota, wish I was there.

Vive la France! Driving this car must give you the same joy as my first Golf GTI did in 1976! It was fast, light, sporty and practical! Happy to see Alpine is back!

As to sales: The car has a huge waiting list. The first 5.000 are sold. Production has just been upped from 18 to 25 a day. That means one has to wait for around one year. So yeah, the A 110 is a genuine hit.

I’m honestly more excited about this absolute gem than that two ton five million quid Bugatti Divo. Porsche Cayman is a great car but this is just so much cooler. The proper man to review one of the star cars of 2018. Brilliant as always Harry

Absolute shame we don’t get this stateside. Easily one of the best cars this year. I absolutely love everything about this.

As a young person, this is one of those cars which makes you want to go out and work really hard so that some day I can have one. Looks bloody fantastic!

New video already? You're spoiling us Harry.

Mine arrived a month ago. It's the first "new" car I've ever purchased (I prefer classic cars), and it's simply amazing. The feeling of confidence the Alpine provides you is sublime.

"Focus on the drive, and not on silly figures." Other car manufacturers take note, this is how you make a sports car. 0-60 means nothing. It is all about the drive. Now...give it a manual and I am sold.

"I'll press sport because I can't help it" Gold.

Love the all the details crammed into an 1100kg car, especially the bleu, blanc, rouge on the door cards 🇫🇷

I’ve been looking forward to this one - fascinated by this car

Best car channel on RU-vid...love whole heartedly

great real-world review. this is the kind of car that should be made. lightness with adequate power. instead of those chasing humungous and ridiculous figures that will be very rarely, if ever, replicated on-road. thanks harry!

MUCH MUCH more interesting, involving and exciting than the Audi R8 you just reviewed. Best

I've watched multiple videos on this. You're the first one that actually opened up the trunk and the frunk. Thank you...

It is great to see that Alpine are back making sports cars!

Truly incredible car. Heartbroken we don’t get Alpine or other French cars in Canada.

"Focus on the driving not silly figures" spot on Harry!

Never clicked as quick on a video as I do with Harry’s garage

Hello Harry, congratulations on your recent award Automotive influencer of the year. Your knowledge has narrowed me down to Alpine 110 or Evora. Thanks Harry.👍🇬🇧

Whhooa, what a very pleasant surprise, I've been waiting for this one!

Watched this 6 times...absolutely perfect.

I am so very happy that I came across Harry's new RU-vid channel. I'm Canadian but have been a big fan of Harry for many years from his EVO magazine days. He is one of the true experts in the industry that a car enthusiast like myself can depend on and appreciate. Many thanks Harry! Cheers!

Glad to see the reproduction of this car with still a nice shape and an amazing exhaust sound. Harry excellent video. P.s : That's the car you need to review down to route Napoleon all the way to Monte Carlo. Cheers.

Go Alpine. So refreshing. Would much prefer over Cayman or TT.

I'm new to your channel. I must have watched two dozen or so videos on the Alpine A110 before I saw yours. And what a refreshing review it is. One thing all the reviews seem to have in common is: it's a drivers car, it's meant to be driven and enjoyed. I surely enjoyed seeing you enjoying it, all the while giving your no-nonsense opinion. Refreshing!

A proper sports car. Light, not loaded with unnecessary tech and stunning looks. I need one in my life.

I've wanted one since I discovered it a couple of years ago. Me as Bond following Goldfinger through the Alps.

Harry, that t-shirt is perfect. Why didn't you finish the ensemble with a string of onions, a beret, and a Gauloises hanging off your bottom lip? Loving the vids mate.

By far the most anticipated car review thus far 2018. Harry is thorough as always and the car is absolutely stunning!

Great vid, thanks Harry - made me late for work this morning but love that Alpine. Focused on all the right stuff.

Great review, this car shows why its more an everyday drive and fun. Using the 1.8 t megane rs engine it can still produce great mpg and power in a lightweight car but do 0.60 in around 4.5 seconds. Bought by people who enjoy driving without the ego boosting german badge.

The French car companies - Renault, Citroën, Peugeot - are on a roll lately, great engines, pretty cars and SUVs, stunning colors, style, fuel economy. Add reliability and build quality. Good review.

Thank you Harry - Happy New Year! You are the best!

Another new video, and on a friday yes. Thank you Harry!!

My father own this car this car and its absolutely stunning. Lovely drive, super balanced, lovely interior (apart from the renault\dacia switchgear) theres also a fair bit of real carbon fibre trim inside.

I love this car, something screams to me as a perfect daily car, I would still have love to see it with a manual box though Can’t wait to see more from them! Keep it up Harry!

This is my favorite car channel. You’re an awesome guy Harry!

Fantastic review Harry! This imo is such a sweetheart. It is truly an uncomplicated back to basics sports car which is so focused and has one mission. Light weight, fun to drive, and not overly powerful 👍🏾

Awesome review thanks for sharing! I adore this car and can’t wait to see one in the flesh. I have a 2016 TTS and a 1986 MR2 - so this appeals on many levels. The only problem I have is that I swore to myself my next new car would be a manual as I derive so much pleasure from this part of driving. I don’t love taking the TTS for a “drive” and I put it partly down to the DSG being boring. So ultimately torn on the Alpine and wonder if a manual Cayman or M2 would be more satisfying in the long run

Saw my first Alpine last week at the Shell station in Winchester... double take, very nice car, French 👨🏻‍🎨

Very nice review, Harry. You also take care about detailes. Appreciated.

I always learn something when I watch your videos Harry thank you very much please keep them coming I do like the way you do business 😊

The most beautiful car (that I just might be able to afford) ever. Encouraging review. 👍

Best car channel on the tube.

Nice little car- looks like a blast to drive! Thanks, Harry! Always appreciated-

Hi Harry, thanks for the review! What a lovely car! Great review. And nice to see it bombing down West Oxfordshire roads!

I feel Harry might buy this one.

I want one so badly.

I bought a Penny Farthing dated from the 1880's. I took off the wheel and carried it home in and on a Renault Clio ( campus) This is why I like French automobiles and the Alpine is no exception. It was a Bayliss and Thomas.

Thanks Harry, one of the few modern designs that I'm excited about. Love your videos. Grazie Edmondo

back to the essence of driving, good review! manual would be.. eh nice option

Everything about this car seems amazing.... wish it came to USA :( Love the lightness, the color, the gearing, and especially the uniquely goofy French styling! *still wish it were a proper manual though, esp since it focuses on driving fun over numbers.

Great review! I remember seeing a video with the boss of Alpine where he mentioned the weight figures are a wet-weight with everything from the fuel tank to the washer reservoir topped up.

That sound. Harry, that guttural sound and purity have to directly into your heart!

I love this car. Nice, fun to drive and “affordable”.

The car looks fabulous, too bad it doesnt have a manual option.

Been looking forward to this and excited to see you loved it! Have been quite tempted by this car since it was first revealed.

Another great video Harry. Can't wait for the next!

ive get this 110 over that r8 in last epizode ... one of really few new cars im really interrested in .. and lookuing forward to ride in one ...

Still can't help but feel a bit sad for Alfa and their 4C which was quite ahead of its time, if not perfectly executed. Would love to see a big test of Alpine A110, Alfa 4C, Porsche Cayman and Lotus Evora. I love that "reasonable" power cars are getting attention again and hope things continue to develop in that direction - light weight, "medium" power, road cars not track cars. People with spare cash are so for choice these days, I still have EVO magazines from 2006/07, it's amazing how far we got.

A drivers car free from badge pretence or unnecessary interior options, I really want one, I think you collect enough kudos from those that do remember and for those that don't, well, they'll just have to live the the numbers and the fact it's a proven drive, thumbs up Harry, please keep these videos coming

I love the new light weight thinking. The styling is also very top shelf and individual. I can only image how fun this little ball of excitement is to live with.

Beautiful vehicle. I wonder if this could push PSA to do some retro-themed luxury cars, like an executive saloon (to fill the role previously held by the C6), or something larger than the 508 to be Peugeot's flagship. I really miss big comfy stately French cars, as you can see.

Thanks for reviewing this special car Harry. If there was a manual option I would be selling organs to get into ownership. Hoping Alpine succeed with this car and do an RS version with manual in the future.

I really enjoy watching and listening to your videos.

Love to see how enthusiast you are driving this car! Sometimes the audio is a bit low and it becomes hard to hear you -- just thought I'd mentionned this for your next great video. Thanks!

What a cracking little car! If only id had the money... You dont need advanced tech in your car. Only makes it heavier

This car really needs a manual gearbox option. Now I'm not one of those people who thinks manual is superior in all cars in all situations, because clearly that is nonsense, but I just prefer a manual transmission.

I saw an Alpine drive past me a few months ago on the motorway; I was amazed as I thought there weren't any in the UK yet. Looks awesome in the metal!

Harry is an OG. One of the best

Wonder how long until the owners develop a quick-release mod for that cover - surely they could have come up with something better which weighed similar.

I love the look of this car, especially in the blue and from the sounds of it, it drives like it should too. Given the car's lightness, I wonder if Alpine has ever considered doing an electric version as a counterpoint to the forthcoming Tesla sports car.

This car interests me enormously. I’d already read about it’s somewhat awkward gestation period, so for the finished result to be this good is great news. I am old enough to remember the original and saw a perfect example last year in Prince Rainer’s collection at the museum in Monte Carlo. Brilliant that there’s a genuine alternative for enthusiasts. The review is spot on Harry, as always. In fact, I watched it twice in a row.

Great review as always Harry. Keep up the great work 👍🏿

Fabulous bit of kit. Love how it looks and sounds, and love the lightweight brief. The price is punchy, though. Punchy enough that I’m going to be picky about the lack of a manual box. I alternate Caterham and Lotus and that’s no hardship, but if Alpine put a stick in this thing, I’m in. Meantime, I think Alpine might struggle a bit when the novelty wears off. Tough to pitch an expensive, stripped out, lightweight, 4 cylinder toy directly at enthusiasts who appreciate the brand’s legacy, and deny it the interaction of a manual that a decent percentage of the dedicated masochists (myself included) demand.

Good point with the transmission, i see lot of cars where the gear ratios are chosen just to reach 62mph quickest but lose very much of the pull on low speeds.

Think this is the first vid I've seen you smile from beginning to end....cool car worthy of the name.

Great video. The enthusiasm really shows and makes me think I should consider one in the future!

I would compare this more to the Alpha 4C than the Cayman or TTRS.

5 dislikes!!! Wtf is to dislike about this video. It’s exactly what the title suggests presented perfectly. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

That is such a simple, yet beautiful car. I am in love with the seat design.

Love Your correct review , I drove the Alpine 3 months ago and after drivin' half a mile , I immediately decided to reserve one. It's a real shame I'll still have to wait more than a year before it will be in My garage. I still don't know why everyone wants a manual, the Alpine certainly doesn't need it !

Alpine just got one thing wrong to me: the lack of a manual is the only reason why is off my list. Knowing that manuals are lighter than autos they could have shaved a few more kilos and rub it on Porsche whose cars keep getting heavier and heavier a result of a brand whose positioning has moved into luxsuvury (...) vehicles from what used to be previously a brand of sports cars...

Great looking machine, I reckon the 3 'dislikes' were from folk who wanted the video to last longer than 16 minutes.

Superb... and yet another gem we won't see in the US. Excellent review, thanks!

Best car reviews on RU-vid. Period.

I like it but i'd totally prefer an Alfa 4c!

3:58 Just try and get to a Cayman's (or worse Boxster) motor, you better have some tools handy because forget it otherwise.

Great video as always, Harry. And a car worthy of the old Colin Chapman quote: "Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere."

Fantastic looking car. I have a 4c with the Alfaworks suspension pack and now handles absolutely fine.

Alfa Romeo 4c or Alpine? Thanks for the review

Nice car definitely. Would be great to see an electric version of this.

Marvellous. I've been waiting for a real world review on this car. And who better that Harry to bring it to us. :)

Such a good review, Harry - as always. Many thanks for such good stuff, you're a star. We could tell you liked it - ergo, a no-brainer: a lovely car!

Doug Demuro minus the drivel :P

Shouty shirt !! So French !!!! Nice touch !!!!!!

Words do not describe how envious I am of the access to this car that you guys on the other side of the pond have.

Loved the ‘ slip of the toe’. Great review, Harry, thank you.
