Is the 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider the MOST underrated exotic sports car ever built? 

Current 4C Spider Owner here... This car has a lot of cosmetic mods. Carbon fiber front splitter, side skirts and quadrifoglio badges are all aftermarket mods. The Alpine radio unit w/screen inside and sill plate at the door are also aftermarket. The exhaust is also not factory. It's an aftermarket center exit exhaust from Centerline International.

Did you have to drop it off at the shop after the review?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think they ever made a production Alfa Romeo 4C “Quadrifoglio”… it looks like the owner of that particular 4C just slapped a “Quadrifoglio” badge on.

I’m 4ft 3 inches at 45 years old. This car fits me well.

Owned my 2016 4C for 4 years now and it’s the most visceral driving experience offered at this price range. It’s also surprisingly reliable and easy to maintain. You need to drive one to understand!

Mazda miata on steroids

I would take this over most sports cars released today. Incredible.

It's a beautiful work of art.

Looks so fun to drive.

Always nice to see another mid engine sports car! Looks a lot nicer than my MR2 Spyder too 😅Keep up the good work Joe!

Alfa Romeo fr be making the sexiest cars. Like everything about it is sexy. Even the name Alfa Romeo is truly music to my ears

About the 4-leaf clover badge: Respectfully, you've got the story wrong (fantastic video - as usual - otherwise :)). In 1923, the Alfa Romeo official drivers were Alberto Ascari, Giulio Masetti, Enzo Ferrari (yes, THAT Enzo Ferrari) and a guy by the name of Ugo Sivocci. Sivocci was a supremely talented driver that would often dominate races but then something would happen to the car - he never won, and the general consensus was that lady luck just wasn't on his side. This changed for the 1923 Targa Florio race, for which Sivocci painted a four-leaf clover - symbol of good luck - within a white diamond shape, its four corners commemorating each of the four drivers. It so happened that Sivocci finally won this race. Tragically, Sivocci was killed at Monza later that year, while testing a car that did NOT have the diamond badge - Thereafter racing Alfas were decorated with the now familiar triangle shape - no longer a diamond, as one corner was removed to honor the fallen driver. IIRC, while racing Alfas always sported this, one would occasionally see a "regular" Alfa Romeo vehicle with it - I'm not 100% certain, or course, but I don't particularly recall it being reserved only for the high-performance models, and I believe it wasn't until relatively recently that this changed. Hence, even if there was no such thing as a "QV 4C," some 4C owers would honor the brand's history that way.

It's almost the same size as a Smart Car. LOL!

4Cs have been popular lately it seems

So happy you reviewed this Joe. Always been wondering about this. You just don't see these around. Thanks Joe and Steven

I think that's an aftermarket head unit :)

This car is a sin. Building such a pure lightweight sports car and not offering it with a manual, no wonder no one gives a shit about it. It’s a drivers cars without actually taking into consideration the drivers.

I have to say that this is probably the best sounding 4 cylinder I have ever heard.

This car looks awesome my only gripe is the Gear Shift or rather lack there of. Those 4 buttons just looks disgusting, and I know I can mod it and add one, personally this is something so standard especially on a performance car that I just wouldn't even bother. The Infotainment is just nonexistent as well, kind of like the R8 both beautiful but just lacks so many features

Just to be clear, most of that exterior carbon fiber is like the Alpine head unit, that is, aftermarket. I suspect the exhaust is as well (Centerline, maybe?) and not from factory.

I need to find roads like that with no traffic 😢.

4C is Mega🍀👍💪 Full of Love and Passion

The 4 leaf clover badge doesn't exist on 4C. Probably got that from Amazon or something. The 4 leaf clover is for QVs. But they do look cool on 4C tho. The engine sound is epic!

Joe - Beautiful car. Wish I had the opportunity to drive one. But is it just me or could that car use more rubber??

4C is really the only awesome modern Alfa 😅

That iPad afterthought on the dash is an abomination

Forza Italia🇮🇹🇮🇹👍👍

Bad idea calling out Butter!! Good luck and do your homework!!

She's gorgeous.

11:47 Mean Sounding Exhaust

Holy crap this sounds better than some V8s

🎉🎉Joe I love your car reviews it feels like you right there with you

Red all the way Joe! Love the style, beautiful.

When will you review a lotus emira?

I want one, but judging by used prices they're not at all underrated.

Buying used cars now I see.

This car reminds me on Ferrari Dino.

Love That Alfa Romeo 4C Spider😍❤️🏁🚗🕷️!!!

One of kind fun car 👌

this is a great enthusiast sports car. the Caymen may be better. but this is rarer and cheaper.

Is this a car for ants?

Almost bought one of these in 2017 but decided to get a Ferrari 308 instead. I love the 308 but if my left knee ever goes out I'm swapping it for a 4C.

My father had a 1975 Alpha spider convertible second hand in the eighties. Best car l ever drove. Hugged the road ,fast acceleration ,stick shift in second gear to 50 mph ,smooth high speed highway ride. I think Alpha blows away Triumph and Fiat for seventies models. Been a good track car for decades. Definitely underrated maker.🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎

Am I the only one that is triggered when he says “most engaging” “pure driving” know that it’s not a manual?

Even though I'm not that into Alfa, they do have their unique style, especially the front end that makes them recognizable. With that said, my favorite model is the 4C, followed by the Guilia.

Joe I am an Alfa fan big time. But they failed miserably with this model. It should have been larger, with the 2.0 liter 280bhp engine and luxury features similar to a Porsche Boxster. I am 6.4 and do not fit in this car. Also, its too bare bones for the ridiculous price tag they charged for this. Its very good looking, but failed in the areas I have stated here. It never caught on due to its lack of horses, small size and lack of luxury.

Joe you're the best

Ahh Price in Europe is touching 100 k euro. Average 80 k euro! And is growing up. So in Us buy It and Keep It

I love these cars. Mostly I appreciate those who buy them and drive them for me to watch. I might have the money for an Italian sweetheart like this. But I still don't want to date one. High maintenance relationships aren't for me.

Damn it Joe, this car is beautiful. But you need better twisty roads. Needs some serious mountain twisties

Need a wing and spacers , The hybrid turbo kits had 100 hp and you have a Jewel.

all the haters either never drove one or don’t have one. Vehicle holes its value in fact it’s going up in price. it’s a classic. It’s an awesome car a couple modifications you smoking everybody out there to its weight. It gets more head turns than Lamborghinis. Especially the red coupe. absolute track weapon with a few mods and absolute funniest times in the canyons you’ll probably ever have.

more than any other car on earth, with the fire of a thousand suns, this car burns and yearns to have a manual transmission! its a travesty that it doesn't. I want to hold hands with his beautiful girl when dancing through the twisty bits! without a manual, just give me a Lotus Elise which is 500lb lighter than this! if it hade a manual it would be a much more desirable sports car. so disappointing.

The way this car’s air vents goes directly to the top of the big screen inside, feels like an afterthought

Yes bc everyone has Porsche so u get the alpha to be different

DNA ( Dynamic, Normal, Advanced)

C stands for cylinders not carbon fiber.

That arm rest looked uncomfortable other than that Nice car

💪😎🎸 KILLA 🎸🦇

Love your video

2015 and looks better that's other modern cars

I hardly call it a spyder. It's more a targa top. Better to get an MX-5. Cheaper and much more reliable.

Gr86 probably better

come on lotto

It's all about the way it makes you smile. Nothing else matters. Way to go Joe 👍

Clean for a 2015?!??

Every masterpiece have a cheap copy, this is the copy of the 911 😂

Love the 4c. Wanted to get it but it would have to be a 2nd car and cannot be an everyday car.

I don’t think that exhaust is stock

14:48 I agree I want the air to blow on my face 🎉

4 seconds to 60 is quicker then a lot of vehicles that have over 400hp and V8's LC 500 being one.

Tell that guy to fix his brake light Joe 😅

I'm 6'4. Will I fit in it?

Nice car test drove it back in 2016 , liked it but was way overpriced,

Joe, I'll always appreciate you giving Alfa Romeo the attention and love it deserves!

Joe I've been to Italy and France. So I'm not just anybody... jk lol... The roads are much smaller there and I always tell people if I lived there this is the car I would drive. Plenty of power for those smaller windier roads. And small enough to be able to park which is the biggest thing to consider when living there. We didn't appreciate this car when we had the chance 😢. I think the biggest problem with our market is smaller cars are typically cheaper and reserved for a younger demographic. This car was small and expensive for its size. We just didn't know the value it truly presented.

Its really more of a track car than something you want to daily drive. You could daily drive it but the creature comforts are not in these cars. The Mazda MX-5 has better technology & costs much less. Less to insure & maintain too. Don't like turbo charged engines because they run hotter & need more care for them. The lack of a manual transmission also takes away from the driving experience. What you get with the Alpha is that nobody else in your neighborhood will have one.

Joe, been watching you for years and have had over 30 cars... this is the one that I feel "got away " so.. haven't seen video but I'm certain this or cayman/boxster will be next (but my 2023 m2 manual is a beast albeit a bit chunky lol)

4C is meant to be 4 cylinders. Like the 8C Is 8 cylinders and old 6C meant it had 6 cylinders. And the 6C was a car before carbon fibre was even a thing in cars.

Hi 👋 Joe 😊Thanks for featuring this Sports car very underrated

You should find a track to rip these cars around!

I’ve definitely heard more about the interior for this make

That's not a triangle... That is meant to be the shape of a heart. Like the engine is the heart of the car, normally at the front.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

That looks like a Pontiac

Such an underrated Italian machine.

Whoa! I like the look!

I would’ve thought it was a 2020 or newer model yeast

Joe should try an Alpine A110 -- that thing is a quest for lightness and has power. No manual though and not available in U.S.

Why are so many sports cars so poorly built with reliability issues? It really limits what one with common sense should buy

How’s maintenance price ?

How's the reliability?

Looks like a hot wheels car I had years ago 😃………I’ll take the Porsche Joe ! 😎

c stands for cilindri

I wanted 1 of these things the minute I first laid eyes on it but the reality is…it’s an Alfa…I want my $ to last 😂

A dealer near to me had one of these lightly used (same color too) for $39k and I was seriously contemplating it; my heart said yes but my brain said no. Brain won in the end. Doubt I’ll ever see it at that price again.

Rich mans Pontiac Solstice

Come on man you can't compare an Alfa Romeo with a Porsche

Not having a manual gearbox option on the 4c is why I went Porsche instead.
