Alfa 4c as another car? good or bad?
#16
I had an Alfa 4c for one day. I decided to pass on my order after driving the demo. The car has horrible paint you sneeze and it will chip. The exhaust drone gets on your nerves after 25 minute. The seats don't recline and the seating position is for someone under 150 LBS. The rear suspension comes from a front wheel drive car and feels strange when being pushed in a corner. This also makes the sensitive steering feel awkward especially if you hit a groove in the road. The launch of the car had people paying over MSRP. The dealer network and the customer service is horrible. Today the cars are sitting on dealer lots with many giving discounts. I wanted to love the car but it had to many flaws & if I could get one for 40k I would turn it down, I was that disappointed.

As a former Lotus Elise guy, I thought that I'd love the car. I haven't driven it but, having seen it in the flesh, I don't even like the look. It's ponderous where it should be delicate.

Used Evora S for less money and same concept.. but 10x better executed if you can do without the carbon tub cache'. Or.. for $50k you can get an S260 exige which even after 8 years remains an amazing short distance rocket. The 4c is an empty promise for now.

The 4C is a really cool car as long as someone else owns it. I could not get over the rear tire wells having such big flares while having a donut tire trying to fill the space. Better get a good deal as I do not see a lot of people wanting this car after the warranty expires. all this is IMO of course.

When I saw my first GT4 in the wild, I was surprised how large the wheels were, and how well they filled the wheel wells perfectly.
