Anyone have an Alfa 4C?

Yeah not sure about track performance . Could be the driver too

Watched a review of it and it didn't look like a great handling car. The Boxster and Cayman is a much better platform. The 4C looks good though but is under powered IMO, could have been a much better car then what it is. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PGC-7IldYw">YouTube Link</a>
I think zero to 60
is faster than Cayman or boxster too

Definetly has handling issues . But I don't think that's the point of the car . It's just supposed to be some fun not to make fast laps . More exciting silly laps I'm not sure but I will go drive one and make up my mind . 2016 are supposed to br improved a lot

4C seems to be a great package though for less money.

It's not all about lap times if your looking for a weekend Cruiser. Plus you have the GT3 for that .
I love the look of the 4C and having a carbon tub is pretty cool. I've heard it has that "Special" aspect to it. If I was looking for a brand new fun weekend car the 4C would defiantly be on the top of my list.

The two cons I've heard about this car is that it's under-powered and the steering is bland. It's a 4 cylinder with a dual clutch and its power band is higher up in the rpm range ~ so you'll have to really wring it out. Also there is no power steering ~ not that that's a bad thing, just apparently the feedback is pretty weak for it being non assisted... I watch a lot of Youtuber SeenThroughGlass' videos, he had a 4C before he got his Jag FTypeR. Lot's of incar footage and reviews from him. All in all he loved it, but he said there are a lot of cooler cars out there than it.

I would say if you like it and it makes you smile then why not? My 911 was a specific promise to my younger self but I would absolutely love to have different options. I love driving my wife's Subaru Forester on the odd days here and there, and with the salty roads up here I drive my Passat as the DD. Different things about each make them fun in their own way. If the lotto fell my way I'd probably have quite a few options in the garage! I did say to my wife Ihink I'd like an Aston Martin next. She asked how much that'd cost after trading the Porsche? My answer was "No - I didn't mean instead of. I meant in addition to." :-)

I must be one of the few that doesn't like the look of the 4C - looks ungainly, with odd proportions and jarring lines. The whole car looks squat and fat and bug-like. Beauty, they say, is all in the eye of the beholder, so I can accept that my eye is a poor judge of this car.

I love the 4C. Awesome choice... and I encourage you to investigate the purchase further.
Lots of people who like/own/pose Porsches will never be able to understand why you want a car that is slower, less capable, and has lower build quality than your 991GT3.
The 4C is not a car you own because of performance numbers, safety, or build quality. You own it because you love it and you don't give a **** what others think...
Go for it. If I ever lose enough weight to fit into it, take me for a drive in the 4C!
