As a 4C owner myself i completely agree with all your comments. People who have never even sat in one will tell you how bad the car is. People that own them all understand how much fun the car is. The looks, the rareity, the fun factor all add to the cars unique appeal............also, i daily mine! 😊

Good to see you back in an Alfa 4C. So funny as I had a CS when you met me. Now you have a CS and I have a 4C! I think it is the best sports car in the world for under £100,000. It is essential to have the geometry done by Alfaworks, Michelin PS4S tyres, Stage 1 tune (increases power to 280bhp) and a decent exhaust. I did over 160mph in mine on the Autobahn.

@gpapa31 18 дней назад

How much do all those Alfaworks modes roughly total to? Also, what made you give away the CS and what differences can you spot in terms of driving experience. Drive safe and with a smile.

@roytrevisan3491 16 дней назад

I had the same tune AND tires (and a Capristo exhaust mod) and it made the car spectacular. Sooo under rated.

@arjanvandenbrand2070 9 дней назад

I have mine remapped as well, GMS uniball rear suspension but no front blocks as I like the liveliness and tramlining (probably unpopular opinion)

@RobertKarlBerta 4 дня назад

@@arjanvandenbrand2070 Always go with better tires ASAP on a 4C ( I personally believe the decision to put the PZeros on the car was a bad one. They emphasize tramming and all around performance compared to other good tires was just not there. Michelin or Continentals or Bridgestones are so much better. With better tires and front toe set to 0 you really don't need the blocks unless your car is going to be spending a lot of time on track where the additional negative camber will help.... but not as good for street use as more tire wear in every day use. I have the GMS uniballs in my rear lower struts and that is a game changer. Keeps the camber from changing under hard cornering so a lot better feedback and consistent feel. I have a 2015 LE I bought new and still love it very much. The 4Cs proved to be a very reliable car and bullet proof on track days.

@lkearney7299 19 дней назад

The 4C is a brilliant car. It delivers the joy of driving so often missing in most sanitized cars now.

@ianmackenzie-pi9ee 17 дней назад

Great to see you giving some love to the 4c. Such a great car, sadly misunderstood by many. See my letter in issue 253 of Octane magazine singing its praises as a long term owner. A future classic

@Merfin22 19 дней назад

Drooling over your videos 8 years ago is one of the biggest reasons I now own a 4C launch edition and it’s as much fun as you say it is.

@jonathanstamp 19 дней назад

I also daily drove a 4C for 2 years from 2016-2018. Never have I come across something offering a baby la Ferrari vibe for such a small amount of money. Every drive was an event. Glad you revisited and it all came back. Cheers

We weren’t given the choice between 4C and the Alpine in the USA, but it’s just as well because I adore my 4C! Owned since 2020. I have talked to a number of supercar owners who have a 4C in their stable. It provides the supercar experience without the supercar stress and expense!

@CAR_NL 9 дней назад

I got one 7 years ago (a red coupe) and still got it. 7 years of pure love. So many other cars came and passed, but this one is here to stay. She has been tweaked mean while (engine tuning, bigger downpipe, flap controlled exhaust, bmc intake, semi slicks, etc.) and still is a blast to drive. It's unique! With 320hp also seriously fast! There won't ever be a car coming close to this driving experience.

It has supercar characteristics. But I would classify it as an exotic sports car and yes, this is one of the best deals out there at the moment. Buy one now before everybody catches on . And with just a GMS essential handling package and some tuning to get up around 350 hp, you have a bona fide giant slayer.

After a week around Lake como and northern Italy, Stelvio pass, at sunrise, almost no traffic, need I say more? I really agree with you. This is an Alfa, a brilliant drivers car to engage with and drive. No nonsens and just so much fun. No we didn't have a week of luggage in that car but it was from a friend of ours who lives there. At that time I had a basic Giulia which did fit everything for 2 people.

My biggest issue was the seats seemed really bad. I'd have swapped those out if owning one. I heard some great insights when it comes to the steering system on The Intercooler podcast recently. It was the episode on car fatal flaws.

@verynormalman 19 дней назад

STG, T4YC. I did suggest this to you, and from memory I think I offered you my 4C? Glad you've done it. But the Spider is much heavier than the Coupe, as is the US spec car. I have had 165mph on a track, and there was more to come, so the "run out of puff on a straight" is a bit much. I was out in a Taycan yesterday, on a track, and at over 130mph you are aware of the massive weight of the car, and your reliance purely on mechanical grip is alarming. That paint work is shockingly bad. What were they thinking?
