Review Happen to chance upon this unique car. Car is light which allows a simple 1.8 Turbo charged engine to achieve 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 sec! Remarkable handling and fantastic engine roar and pops and crackles in sports mode.
Very nice design especially the side and rear view. Front view can be more agressive.
What I like - Design
- Engine sound
- Low road tax
- Excellent power to weight ratio
- Affordable as compared to other sports coupe
What I do not like - Limited storage
- No glove box
- No Android auto
- Need mobile phone mount to store phone
Review Reviewed a number of sports cars in the approximate range ie Cayman, M2 competition etc. What stands out about the Alpine is its fantastic comfort where the suspension is both compliant yet provides enough grip and feedback. For a passive setup, that's pretty amazing. Otherwise feature for feature it's cheaper than the Porsche though you don't get the badge recognition or the teutonic reliability. Plenty fast enough if you toggle sport or track... But for the lazy drive home normal mode is liveable as a daily driver.
What I like Unique retro styling, Alpine blue color looks great in the light, fun to drive.
What I do not like Interior quality of materials not the best, some ergonomic quirks, limited practicality (but hey its a sports car)
