ALFA ROMEO 4C | An Overlooked SUPERCAR BARGAIN?

- I have a long term love affair with Alfa Romeo. My dad had Alfa Romeos when I was growing up, and I learned to drive in a GTV (I even took my test in it). There has always been something very special about the gorgeous Italian Design, and their willingness to put the driver experience above everything else.
But in the late 90s and '00s, it seemed like Alfa lost their way a little, and took the easy way out instead of the fun way out on many of their cars.
That all changed when they launched the Alfa Romeo 4C in 2015. With one of the most hauntingly beautiful designs and an unrelenting focus on the driver, Alfa was back!
I finally got a chance to own my own Alfa 4C and this video is my Loveletter to that car and the Marque!
Alfa Romeo Forever!

These 4C’s are getting more and more expensive on the used market at least in my area. The carbon tub really got me, Alfa knows how to design their cars that’s for sure!
I really feel like the 4C is the pinnacle of Alfa development in the last 30-40 years. There just isn't anything else quite like it out there!
I rented it from Turo in Orlando and drove it for 1200 miles non stop. 4C is one of the most incredible things I have driven. I own a vintage 1976 Alfa Romeo spider, had a 355 Ferrari 1997, 2007 Ferrari 430, Lamborghini 1974 p250 Uraco.
Almost pull the plug pandemic hit my business hard , still considering it for 2023 1000%!!!
1200 miles in a 4C is seriously impressive! My body just wouldn't allow for that. But I love to hear that it's possible for others! Now is a great time to get into a 4C!
This is my dream car. I’ve wanted one since I discovered the 4C about 5 years ago. I can’t wait to own one in 5-10 years
Keep your dream alive! It’s an awesome car - and they can be quite reasonable to buy and own.
Had a similar dream and now I own one. It’s worth the wait!
Same, but here where I live (Italy) they're constantly appreciating in value. Pretty fast too
Let me know when you have it
Damn brother I feel like in 5-10 years this cars value will be sky high
I own a Rosso Competizione 4C coupe with the center dual pipe Titanium Akropovic exhaust and it's amazing. I made some mods as soon as I bought the car. Upgraded the ecu to pump out about 280 HP. It made a very noticeable difference. I completely removed the entire center console and had someone wrap it in black leather with red stitching to match the cars interior. It looks completely OEM and made a night and day difference over that cheap plastic look. Also added some carbon fiber bits here and there. Great car and it snaps necks everywhere I go. Future collectible IMO.
I'm a motorcyclist and I had no idea Akropovic make exhausts for cars too. Their titanium sport bikes exhausts are some of the best on the market.
Nice review. Love the 4C. So rare to see one on the road. Wish I test drove one when I bought my Alfa. I have the Giulia QV.. It's a beast.
The Giulia QV is an awesome beast on it's own. Having a family sedan with that kind of Jekyll and Hyde appearance is just cool! The 4C is fantastic, but the Guilia can be driven every day, which is great!
I'm glad you mentioned the Lotus Elise. The 4C is definitely the Elise/Exige's sexy Italian cousin. I've had my Elise since 2005 and will never swap it out, but if a boulder fell on it, I'd consider a 4C. That carbon tub does put the 4C in a league of its own. Great review.
Thank you very much. The Elise has a vey special place in my heart as well!
Fun and enjoyable vid! Always look forward to Henrik's presentations (I subscribe). Entertaining with loads of practical information. Kewl camera work with this one too.
Henrik's a pro in this business and I listen closely to his opinions. I want a 4C NOW!
Meh. Kind of looks like the Tesla sports car. Alfa Romero could have plagiarized a better looking car instead.
Thank you for this video !!! I’m so happy to find more Alfa Romeo 4C content ! I love my 4C so it’s always nice to find more videos !
I’m very happy you enjoyed the video! The Alfa 4C is an awesome car!
An absolutely fantastic mini-supercar, with lots of true emotional connection.
No such thing as a "mini-supercar". People throw around the term "supercar" like they started with "heroes" a few years ago. Every person that put on a uniform, regardless what type, was not a hero, just like every foreign two-seat sports car is not a "supercar". SMH
Terrific video about the Alfa Romeo 4C ! Congratulations thank you .
The only thing with all due respect is that Alfa Romeo does not copy other car manufacturers .. if ever they are the ones who copy Alfa Romeo 😉
Especially the 4C !
Forza Alfa Romeo 🍀❤️💪🏽
I definitely didn't mean to imply that Alfa copies other car manufacturer. I think they all get inspired by each other, but Alfa has a very rich history of their own designs. That's part of what makes a true Alfa.
I was, however, still pleasantly surprised to see that the 4C was designed completely in-house by their very own Alessandro Maccolini. I thought for sure Pininfarina or Bertone had had a hand in it, but not so! Alfa is definitely a marque that inspires!
@@cadreamdrives 👍🏼🙏🏼
The 4C is a no nonsense no compromise car. It relied on simplicity and weight savings while also being a true driver's car: no assists, no power steering, simple gear shifting, simple cluster, it has no comparison even with the Elise/Exige. It's virtually on a different league of small sports cars.
I completely agree. There is nothing else like a 4C out there!
your reviews are so funn and wholesome to watch omgg
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy them!
Looks amazing!
This is probably one of the best reviews I have seen of a 4C. Could have spent a bit more time showing performance of the car which is excellent. It is not a GT but a true sports car. I have a 2015 Launch Edition I bought new. Better tires and a different alignment (0 toe in front) make it much better. Stock it will do 4.1 seconds 0-60 mph and low 12 second quarter mile.....but despite that performance (thanks to its light weight) it gets really good gas mileage. Yes it has limted trunk space and is a two seater so if you want more space or more seats....get a SUV. But you wiill miss out on a truly fantastic car. One point I disagree with....it might be tight for the passenger if they are tall or larger in "girth", but my 6'1" son and my shorter wife and other kids have hno problems and we have gone on some longer trips with it. I am 6' also and on the thin side.....it fits me perfectly and comfortable to drive even with its Race suspension upgrade. I did adjust the driver seat using the positions provided....tilted the front of the seat up a bit. It made a huge difference in comfort. Oh....by the way they have been very reliable and bullet proof if you like to track cars. The last ALFA I had was a 1969 spider that I also bought new and kept for over 40 years. If I had the garage space I would still have that car in addition to the 4C....but if only one.....it would be the 4C.
"..if you want more space or more seats....get an SUV".. No - get a sports car that is better designed. No need for an SUV.
The 4C is incredibly unique and amazing in almost every way! With regards to the space issue in the passenger seat, I think it comes down to size. My better half fits perfectly on our drives, but I can't fold my legs under the dash. I'm also 6'4", so I'm definitely not representative, but for me, the passenger seat is a no-go.
They are relatively reliable. I had mine purchased back under the lemon law. Transmission went out twice, tons of electrical issues related to the exhaust system. Dash shrank within the first 18 months. But still. one of the most fun cars to drive. Just slightly under powered
@@tomwallerstein4613 You call that reliable? A buy back, two transmission failures and electrical issues??? Sure Einstein.
@@cadreamdrives how talk are you...? I am 6’3”, I have a pal who worked at a dealership that sold these…, and he said I would not fit well in one, and thus would not like it. However….I do really like the look and would be happy with it’s performance.
Great review and full of details plus the presenter is top notch!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your kind words!
Great review, well done
Thank you very much!
Its considered,"the fun car." Totally worth it!👍✌
In the right spirit Alfa R
It is also good to remember that "the other" Italian sports car maker was formed subsequently as a form of Alfa R spin off by Enzo.
Very accurate description!
Lovely cars. I wish they still continued to make and develop this car…. Just beautiful. I guarantee this will become a very expensive collector car in a very short time. If you have the desire, get one now. Don’t regret the opportunity. Because you will never get one as inexpensively as right now.
When everything is a supercar, nothing is.
CA Dream Drives is correct . The 4C is an absolute affordable masterpiece . Only the Italians know how to infuse their cars and motorcycles with such obvious passion . Bellissimo .
Thank you! It really is all about the passion with this car - and boy does it evoke a lot of it!
Una belleza sin igual!👏👏👏🏁🏁🏁🍀🍀🍀💪💪💪✌✌✌🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂😍😍😍😎😉👍👍👍
E Vero! Grazie Mille!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I bought one last week, took it to the dragon over the weekend and I am in love 🥰
Definitely the right car for that drive! And so, so beautiful to look at took! Congratulations on your purchase!
I’m a racer - I have had the use of a 2016 for a year now, it’s a superb car, I adore it. I raced Alfa powered cars in F3 and IMSA in the nineties, drove for an Alfa dealer, and have a Stelvio Quad. as my daily driver. These Alfas make their competitors feel numb. The 4C is going to be pretty collectible in the very near future …👍
Looks like they're already going up in price here in Canada. Fortunately the majority of them are still low kilometers!
@@joshgts9675 Fortunately, mileage isn't critical Josh - the basic engineering is very good. I think Alfaworks original development hack has about 100k miles on board - that's the fastest one I know to be fair ... getting one at all may become difficult, I think they made circa 9000 worldwide - and a good few have been destroyed already.
It reminds me a lot of the 8C.
Which Jeremy Clarkson discribed as the most beautiful car ever made 👍
Congratulations on this beauty !!
Thank you! Videos and photos just don’t do it justice. The car is even more incredible in real life!
Yep an amazing Alfa ❤ in Australia these have increased in value. Cheers 😊
Increased ... good luck with selling them here then..was only a few short months ago original buyers were just wanting to get rid of them....going for as low as 50k..with next to no k's on them...and even then hardly any takers at that low price. SO the owners are upping the price on them now.....guess there is someone in the whole wide world that...might buy...might take the it off your hands.
This tall Scandinavian is handsome and has nice legs ~Hairy-blonde😋🤫
I have a 2000 model 911 and I have thought about trading into a 4c, but I have never pulled the trigger on it. I think the 2 seats, lack of manual, and small power numbers keep me from doing it. I hope you enjoy your sports car!!!
The 911 is a completely different beast. It is infinitely more practical than the 4C and much easier to use as a daily driver. But in my very humble opinion, a 2000 911 and a 4C aren't even in the same league in terms of fun. It's impossible to drive a 4C without getting a giant smile on your face.
The transmission, for me, is a non-issue. The DCT in the 4C works fantastic, and I'm a much better driver with that, that I would be in any manual.
The power numbers don't mean much either. The 4C will always feel quick (because it is), and I'm fairly certain it will beat a 2000 911 in pretty much all driving circumstances.
Two seats is definitely an issue in terms of practicality. For most, the 4C will be a weekend car.
None of this is a knock on the 911. They truly are amazing cars. But you owe to yourself to try a 4C. You might just want to pick one up after that... :)
@@cadreamdrives I have enjoyed my Stelvio and can only imagine how much fun a 4c would be. I barely ever drive the 911 as it is. The 4C may or may not get any more attention.
Saw a White one with a special spoiler on it the kind where the mounts from the top of the wing and it was loud almost straight piped.
Love your video and I love Alfas.Hoping to buy a nice 2018 Spider I just found with 6.000miles. It will be my third Alfa.
Best of luck! Of hope you’re able to get it!
I need that exhaust on my Brera TBi! 🙂
I have the exact spec to yours but UK based. Black, red seats and callipers, black wheels, RHD. Also at 6’3” not dainty getting in or out. Very rare, very scary
Getting in and out is a challenge, for sure! You have to learn how to fold in just the right way! 😀. But once you’re used to it, it’s much, much easier. And worth the effort to own a car this unique!
hahaha! this quirks and features remind me so much of my evora. the ridiculous ergonomics, low rent interior, lack of space. but the drive is all i care about!! i'd love to add a 4C to the stable lol
The 4C is an incredible toy! Is useless for most things, but it’s amazing for having fun while driving!
I sold mine a while back, but I still miss it and keep thinking about buying another one 😄
Love the 4c.
How’s the Alpine screen? Have considered one for mine, among others.. Any change in sound quality? I currently have the Parrot(?) one.. 😊
I like the screen for its functionality. Everything seems to work great, and having the backup camera is a huge upgrade and extremely helpful. It also does Apple Car Play, and the phone integrations works great.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you much about the sound. The previous owner did the upgrade in my car, so I don't know what it sounded like before. But I do know that it sounds HORRIBLE now. To the point where I get angry at the system when I try to play music :D They put in a subwoofer in the passenger footwell as well, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how they got it all to sound so bad. I'm guessing there is something that isn't set or installed quite right, but I've been playing around with all the settings I could find, and the sound only ever gets tolerable. I don't think any of that is the Alpine unit's fault, but because of that, I can't really guide you on the sound.
I reckon the carbon fibre tub plays its role to don’t make the sound good, I don’t think it had as a good acoustic abilities.
In fact, every time I hear a noise, I can’t tell where is actually coming from.
@@manni8180 That's a good point. I've actually noticed that it's difficult to pinpoint "noises" from inside the cabin as well. However, I do think the awfulness of the sound system goes beyond just the carbon fiber tub. I had transistor radios in the 80's that sounded better than the speakers in the 4C :D
You don’t buy this car to listen to stereo music guys…leave that for your daily
@@CI_4C some of us enjoy music when driving these kind of cars, and there are also people dailying these 😊
Very nice
Thank you very much!
Great❤
Can you get those with a stick shift? My two Mr2 spyders, both are manual. Love mid engine cars. Triptronic sequential shifting, I'll use that when I'm playing a videogame. Lol!
No manual available on this car (much like in F1). And you're in luck - driving it is very much like playing your favorite video game - only much more fun!
First drive one before making a decision. It is much too frantic to allow you to not have both hands on the steering wheel at all times. It is a blast and a clutch pedal would make it less driveable. A very unique experience... I am saying that as a fan of manual cara and I own and have raced classic Alfas. Drive it in anger and you will understand it.
Only issue when i drive my 4c is my Blood pressure rises. 😊
They should put that feature on the options list! 😀
Hey man, great vid! The 4C is my dream car but i also have the height issue. Im 6’8 and was wondering if i could fit in one.
Can’t
Thank you for your kind words!
At 6'8", there is a good chance you won't. It depends a little on how you're a built, and what kind of position you are willing to live with. I'm 6'4" and I fit better than I would have thought. I still have a little bit of headroom left, and can even have the seat one click from the bulkhead. I wouldn't say it's the best fit for me, but it's plenty good for shorter stints.
I think you'll have to try one out to see for yourself.
Not a chance. I own one and my buddy is 6'7 and there was no way he was getting in that thing. Even over 6'2 is pushing it.
a coulple years ago, a 4C could be had for under $40K ... but the lack of manual trans is a deal breaker for most drivers.
I think it’s mostly a dealbreaker for people who haven’t driven the 4C. The DCT is fantastic, and I would take that any day over a manual!
Yes.... it's a dream, achievable dream
How many times must I say it! Go into the settings menu and turn down the seatbelt buzzer. Or don’t turn the key on until you’re buckled in! 🤦🏾♂️
And dude, my 4c Spider does nothing but road trips 40689 miles of them. What are you talking about?😂
true that. hated forgetting to buckle up before turning the key. our ears!
Apparently, one more time! :D Maybe, this time will be the last...
I wasn't aware that you could turn that sound down. I'll have to find that setting right away!
I think it's very possible to do Road Trips in the 4C - but probably more so if you're younger and not quite as tall as I am. At 6'4" (192cm) I fit OK in the driver's seat, but I would say that it's comfortable for longer periods of time. The passenger seat is a no-go. My legs get smashed by the dash.
Also, the stiffness of the suspension wears on the body for longer stints. Not that I'm complaining about that - the suspension is great!
The lack of luggage space also rules out weekend trips - at least if I'm bringing my prettier half.
For me, it's just not a road trip car - but it is awesome for more fun and performance based drives!
I think the automatic shifting in this car is terrible, but everything else is 100% accurate! Dynamic mode with manual shifting is the only way to drive this car. Can't wait to drive mine again :)
I think it all comes down to driving styles. But luckily, we have the option to go manual, and what a glorious option it is!
You need to remove those hideous things next to the rear numberplate, currently ruining the rear end. Great review.
:D I would - but I think that would require me to move as well, and then it would no longer be CA Dream Drives...
I found a lot of first world problems in this video. I would just drive it and smile about all the 4c quirks and features.
First world problems? Most definitely! I’m lucky and blessed to be able to own and drive this car!
But even first world problems can be annoying 😀
I just got a red one with only 11k kms. Basically, brand new. I got it from the Alfa Romeo dealership in Quebec. It cost $77k CAD. Factoring in taxes and all that, closer to $100k. They are raising in value here and SUPER rare. I haven't seen one in person before scoping this one.
Congratulations! They truly are unique cars, and I can’t imagine they won’t be increasing in value over time or at least hold their value well.
What year is yours? And ouch! That’s a lot of taxes!
Guy after my own heart lol!
Thank you very much!
Allowing the car to move forward or backwards slightly when parking or maneuvering in close places, will make the steering lighter.If you just turn the steering with the car stationary, it will be more difficult.
already in the shop immediately after this video was made
0.o
At well over $100K for a second hand one in Oz, they are hardly a bargain. A cool car but they sure aren’t cheap.
Ouch! That's definitely a pretty penny! It seems you guys always get hit hard on the car prices!
I drive one daily and love every journey.
It’s impossible to drive it and not have a smile on your face! 😀
For me, it only has one issue, never built with a manual transmission
In the old days (when I was younger too), I would have agreed with you. And certainly, a 4C with a manual could be an exciting experience. However, in my opinion (and it is just an opinion), I like the current transmission and I think it fits the car well. I can do basic heel and toe shifts (and used to do those when I tracked my Porsche 944), but the DCT in the Alfa and the paddles instantly make me a MUCH better driver. And I'll never get tired of hearing the awesome downshifts, available sd libitum with a flick of my finger :D
The 4C can't work with a manual gear box, its just too short of a decline and spools so fast a manual would make it a hot mess.
First drive it before making a call. A manual box will ruin the car and make it undriveable due to the frantic unassisted steering combined with the explosive powerband. I thought the same before I drove one. Now I own one and can confirm it won't work as a manual.
whoa, I was expecting to hear "boppity-boppity-bopp, we are back, we are back" RIP in Godfather
How tall can a driver be and still fit in the car?
I think it all depends on how you’re built. I’m 6’4” and I fit. I wouldn’t want to drive for hours, but I fit OK for shorter drives. I won’t, however, fit with a helmet on.
The passenger side is a different story. I’m not even close to being able to fit there (see section in video on this).
The enthusiasm level is what Politicians today lack. This guy could win elections with his enthusiasm level alone. Even if what he is so enthused about is not as good as the 8C. 🤣😂👍
😀 Thank you. I get excited when I talk about cars! And no, the 4C is not an 8C, but it’s also a fraction of the price - and you can easily find one to buy.
haha. 4C and 8C are very different machines. On a mountain pass or average track, the 4C will smack an 8C... The 8C is a grand tourer Maserati with a designer frock and an Alfa badge. Not very dynamic. The 4C is a focussed lightweight trackday and mountain pass weapon. 8C is beautiful and very expensive, but for fun factor and as dynamic weapon they aren't great.
IN BLACK............THIS CAR IS STUNNING /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
a dream
How much?
Love my 4C. Black like yours! But immagine 100 kg less and 100 hp more😎🍀. All made by Scara.
I have to say that for me, the 4C has plenty of power as it is. I could be wrong (it wouldn't be the first time...), but I think adding 100HP more might upset the balance of fun and serious track car that the 4C rides so perfectly now.
yes and sounds like you like it in the tail pipe as well
Nice tuna can
So when some idiot drives into you and cracks the carbon tub, then what? Is it a write off? or can the tub be safely repaired? Same question for the composite bodywork.
You don’t use premium gas?
Yes, always premium gas!
Great car would have bought one if it came with manual transmission!
Hahahahaha
Have you driven one in anger? It has a unique character and handling and power characteristics that will be ruined by a manual gearbox. Trust me...
@@Kalahari46 U"h? Ruined how with a short throw close geared manual gearbox?
@@Kalahari46 Haven't driven one but pretty sure it's a wonderful car, I simply don't enjoy automatic cars. I'd have a lot more choices of great cars if I was going to buy them, I want the toys with manual transmission.
@@Mexxx65 Drive it first at pace and then you tell me it needs a manual box 😉 you won't... trust me. Your hands will be too busy on the steering wheel trying to keep things under control - torque/weight, turbo punch and adhd steering makes it rowdy... You still get manuak paddle shifters, you just don't have a clutch pedal.
Worth more than they cost new here now, still a bargain though! I have driven one a few times and it was loads of fun. Maybe if I get rich one day lol
Owned several of the brand in Europe and the U.S. High maintenance and undependable!
Not much to maintain. Maybe true for some Alfas but not for the 4C
I have owned 14 in Africa over 22yrs and I don't have issues with them. Just maintain them right. 4C particularly uncomplicated, reliable and cheap to maintain.
The 500 abarth is practically the same engine and steering wheel
That is soooo incorrect. This engine is the same as the Gulieta QV and the same used in the TCR.
Abarth use a 1.4 Multiair, Alfa has 1.75 dohc
It's like a proper sportscar buy then smaller....
It is build on the Lotus Elise like the Opel Speedster and the Tesla Roadster but the engine makes the difference... 👍
Unfortunately it does not come with a proper 6 speed manual transmission.
Have you driven one in anger? No other box would make the car driveable. It is too frantic, nervous and punchy powerband to have a manual. Trust me, I thought the same as you before driving one.
Sure would like to give you thumbs up, but you did not tell us how big YOU are.
I didn’t realize it wasn’t mentioned in this video. I usually always include it.
I’m 6’4” / 192cm 😊
Terrific review. Very accurate and fair. You can always rely on Alfa design to be jaw-droppingly original. But then, if it's an Alfa it will always come with some sort of serious drawback: terrible driving position, only enough space for a bag of peas; reliability problems, rust (in the past), etc... - But this is what makes them human and thus wins our hearts. The engines are superb (I have a 3.0 V6 GTV); they punch way above their weight - while looking like a supermodel. 😎
I feel like they have gotten (somewhat) better in the reliability and quirks department. But I very much remember all the Alfas we owned in the 80s and 90s. There was ALWAYS something wrong - and many issues would come and go. It could be frustrating at times, but it was also part of the Alfa charm.
@@cadreamdrives Very true!
No rust problems now. Is it fair to keep going on about the Alfa's & Lancia's & Fiat's of the 1970's/80's ?
Note...a lot of Italian cars have what they call the 'Italian Ape' driver problem. Apparently designed for a shortish person with apparently longer than average arms.
That's shorter than a usual Texan, and for a person who likes to drive with straight arms, as per a conventional Race Car. Which is actually the best way to steer any car, as no-one is supposed to: - cross your arms, or drive with a single hand, or drive bolt-upright over the wheel. It's the most efficient way to drive, the circulation in your arms and hands is that way best served, and it's the Safest.
Whats your height mate ?
😊I’m 6’4” (192cm). It’s tricky to get in and out of the car, but once seated, the fit isn’t too bad.
@@cadreamdrives great ! Im 1.92 as well. Yes I also seen other tall reviewers saying that when properly adjusted the driving position is pretty good actually...great video !
@@Alex-dz6xw Thank you! If you are thinking about getting one, I’d definitely recommend you try it out. The space depends a little bit on how you’re built as well (legs vs torso). I wouldn’t want to do a 10 hour road trip in the car (but that’s not just because of the seating position), but it’s fine for fun drives.
My only issue is that there isn’t enough space for me to wear a helmet, so no track usage.
@@cadreamdrives yes the build is also important. I have big legs for example. But 1.92 is 1.92 haha. If you feel ok I should too. Also yes, you cant sit there for many hours...the car is tiring overall, not just the position. But that's the car's character and nature. It not meant to be for daily driving or long trips. It's the raw sports car feel and the pure driving experience that it offers. And that's what people love about this car. Again, thanks a lot !!!
@@cadreamdrivesThe passenger seat is not adjustable like the driver's seat ?
🇮🇹🐍🚗💨💨🇮🇹
Proper drivers car
Pink shoes?
Yes!
I’d rather get a Honda civic type R as much as I like this 4c.
Very different thing. Not comparable at all. You may as well get a superbike instead, as that is about as relevant a comparison.
But they look horrid. It's subjective I know....
$50,000 is still a shit lot of money for a used car!
It’s definitely not a trivial amount! However, in comparison with what many other cars are going for, the 4C is a bargain.
Black is my least favorite color for this car because it hides a lot of the body lines😜
I tend to agree with this in general. Black was not my first choice for the 4C either, but over time, it has actually grown on me. Never mind that you need to wash it within two minutes of taking it out in order for it to not look dirty....
$50k in Singapore only can buy a motorcycle only. Very cheap
So sorry to hear that! I grew up with cars being crazy expensive, so I feel your pain!
Secondly the car life for Singapore is limited for 10 years. After that need to scrap it or pay another $$$ for another 10 years renewal of ownership.
It should've been a MANUAL!!!
I respectfully disagree with this. I used to be on the "real cars have manuals" team as well, but these days, the DCTs are so good, that I'm a MUCH better driver with one of those than I am with a manual. If it's good enough for F1, it's good enough for me :)
@@cadreamdrives Personally, the more limbs used to operate the machine, the more connected I am to the car. Flappy paddles make my left foot bored. But hey, each to their own.
Have you driven one on track? If you have, you won't want a manual. I promise you that none of your limbs will get bored, quite the opposite 😅 too much going on already...
@@Kalahari46 I haven't had the opportunity to drive one yet - so your left foot doesn't fall asleep?
@@jordansernik Not at all. In fact, get braided hoses and upgraded pads and use it for left foot braking if you want the full karting experience 😉
This car gets no love I’ve never seen one outside. No power steering mite be a deal breaker for buyers though.
Beautiful car but it never got actual accolades for actually having handling pedigree. which, after all, was it's design brief.
Stock tyres were not great, driven mainly by journalists who are not great drivers. All racing drivers rave about them on track and in mountain passes - where and from whom it matters. That being said, by minor tweaks it becomes a serious weapon. I fitted different tyres and fettled with alignment and front geometry and cut 3s of laptime on an average track. It is meant to be on the edge and exhilirating. You have to know what you are doing. Not as easy as an expensive supercar like a Lambo or Fezza to track, but so rewarding if you get it right.
The seats are a little small brah.
If you were to attempt to use them as a bra, the actually appear quite large to me...
@@cadreamdrives too small for the tall driver brah...
I like the Italian cars. So choice.
Let’s get something straight, it ain’t a Supercar
Have you even watched the video? 😅
@@Kalahari46 yes, I was reiterating what Henrik said
Dear me, I love the 4C but could only get as far as the pseudo sexual scene after saying he wanted to caress it before belly laughing and hitting the X. Too early in the morning for me 😢😮😅
:D You're always welcome to come back and watch again, after you have had your coffee - or maybe even after dinner.
@@cadreamdrives Well played, I like it.
Ankle bracelet and pink sneakers
More like a sports car not a super car.
Supra got bigger curves..😂 plus not a Supercar..it’s slow..but looks good.
I mean it's a nice car but calling a 4-cylinder car a supercar? LOL
You deserve a kia

I was in love with my Giulia and Alfa Romeo as a brand, however, I will never again buy/recommend another Alfa Romeo in my life. I had the brake by wire system fail on me and it caused me to crash and total the car. They sent someone from Bosch to diagnose the vehicle and in the charts it clearly showed that something malfunctioned (brakes were slammed 2 seconds before the impact at 40 MPH and it took more than 1.5 seconds for the speed to start going down.) Also, after having had various discussions with other people, it's come to my attention that they should not have sent someone from Bosch to diagnose my vehicle because they did not design the braking system. Which means that not only is alfa/stellantis designing crappy vehicles, but they are also shady af! Anyways, stellantis told me that they were not going to take responsibility for it and that I needed to have my insurance pay for the vehicle. Absolute garbage. I will never recommend this car brand to anyone again! Buy an AUDI, BMW, Mercedes or literally anything else instead!!!
Underrated comment here.

@@francocossu9192 Sure thing buddy.lol
You posting this everywhere. You must really be angry or a paid shill.
@@robinchina471 Definitely angry. Getting paid to talk about this shat brand would be nice though. Unfortunately, not the case.
How were you not carjacked in Cali? Oh wait, the fsr-left guv is coming to take your gas powered toy... Smh.
60k$ is not a "bargain"
I think that all depends on your perspective. $60k (or in some cases, $45k) is not a trivial amount of money by any stretch - but when compared to what cars at this level generally go for, the 4C is definitely a bargain! You get so much for your money, compared to other cars.

Poor mans Ferrari. This dude is captain gaylove?!
Yes, that’s not a bad description. It’s clearly no on par with a Ferrari - but you get a whiff of the Ferrari experience - both with the design and the way the car drives.
As for my title - if you refer to being open and accepting of all orientations, then yes, I’m happy to be called Captain. Please remember to use Sir when you address me in the future 😄
Its a lovely looking car but let's
Be honest, a Honda civic si would beat this car like a step child.
You're trolling, right? A Honda Civic????

Supercar?
50k is little?
