As for those who do not understand where the front fascia design comes from, that's a lot of ignorance for self-proclaimed purists / driving enthusiasts |

That's absurd. You've never seen the original A110 from the 60s? Sigh...

That was not a real A110 concept....was just a design exercise.

+1 I think you make the point perfectly. The comparo thread / video on M2C v RS3 v Camaro made a lot more sense to me than this comparo. And I think BlkSVT is right in that if you're just looking for a toy, then you're gonna consider everything under the sun. Of the 4 seater "I need to have a practical car but want it to be awesome and fun" cars, M2C struck me as the obvious choice. Now, I'm in the market for a 3rd car (just a toy) and want a mid-engine, 2 seater. So, which is best in that class? Cayman, Alfa 4C, or Alpine? |

Gearbox debate aside; Alpine have done a great job resurrecting itself.

The new Alpine A110 is just a great little car! I've driven the Alpine already and it's a blast to drive!
If you can compare it to another car, it would be a Lotus Elise regarding driving dynamics, but you can live with the Alpine on a daily basis. And regarding the DCT, it's the first car I could live without a manual. |

"I'm having more fun in this car, on this road, than I would have in any supercar." "And this thing just feels light and agile on its feet, in a way that, I'm afraid to say, a Cayman 718 does not. And it's all about the kilograms, this thing weighs nearly 300 kilograms less than the Cayman." Last edited by advantage20; 11-26-2018 at 06:00 PM.. |

It's pretty ugly but I bet the chassis is pretty fun to drive. Also it has a 4 banger from a Renault Clio and is automatic only...pass.

Just can't get over that face of the A110
No 6MT? Pass!!! I would just go for the Lotus Exige if I wanted an affordable pure sports car. |
