Owner of LE 49 here. Agree with your review, with only a few notes: The carbon fiber tub was shipped to Maserati in Modena. Alfa & Maser were both FCA brands, and the 4C was made in Modena at the Maserati factory - with a subtle reference in the trunk pull. You messed up the DNA modes a little. There are 4: Dynamic, Natural, All-weather, & Race (Advanced Efficiency is the "A" in newer Alfas). All-weather mode is useful if it's pouring rain or if there's a little snow on the road as it makes the traction control jump in much earlier and delays the responsiveness of the accelerator pedal. Race mode is activated by putting it in Dynamic and then holding the switch for an extra 5 seconds. Race is manual only. Speaking of race mode, the engine is shared with the old Euro Formula 3 car, the W-Series race car, and the Abarth 124 Spider Rally. Cheers!

This was my FIRST Cars and Bids video. Awesome job. I have a 2016 4C. A couple notes about driving the car. The transmission is wonderful in dynamic mode. In natural mode everything slows down a bit. There are amazing suspension pieces available for the car for very little and they provide a great handling experience. Without them the car can be a handful for novice drivers. The ECU is easily and inexpensively tuned, and with a new intake the car can gett well under 4 seconds 0-60. I timed my 0-60 stock at 4.2 seconds. Finally< Its great to see the video creator genuinely having fun. I hope that you can keep that demeanor throughout all of your videos because its really infectious.

The manual steering keeps me so engaged that I am glad that I don't have to reach down to shift. Plus the DCT is an aid in keeping the 0-60 acceleration at a low 4.2 seconds. The beautiful aesthetics, carbon fiber monocoque, great sounding engine, and the mechanical simplicity of the 4C attracted me to it. I plan to keep my 4C for the rest of my life.

Hi Kennan, great video as always. See? this is an Alfa Romeo. These cars, the racing team back in the day had working for them some guy called Enzo Ferrari. It´s a brand full of tradition and loved for generations of car enthusiasts. I remember back in the day, early 80´s a buddy of mine had a GTV 3.0 V6 coupe which I drove for hundreds of kms and oh boy, those cars have soul. However, there were many of them with an incredible amount of reliability issues. However, this is the spirit of the brand. High revving cars very lightweight and extremely agile, happy to go to the top of rev counter with screaming exhaust pipes and a hard core car fan at the wheel with a huge grin all over his face. just like you Ken. Anyway wishing you a very well deserved successful 2024 with much love of course from West Spain ❤

I've always respected what people do to get the most out of what they have. I love what Alfa did with their 1.75 litre engine because Italy has a tax cap on 2.0 litres. The first time I saw a 4C was on Top Gear (you really got a reference to it's girth) Hammond driving one against Clarkson in a speed boat!

Actually, Italy doesn't tax based on engine size but on power. Cars with over 245 hp have to pay an extra amount for every extra hp over in addition to the normal car tax. That's why the 4c has that exact amount of power. The engine could very well handle 280+ hp

I always thought this car having a DCT kinda made sense. It felt pitched like the lightweight, baby-Ferrari, and given (for better or worse) Ferrari had entirely switched to DCTs, it fit in that image, where as I think having a manual would pitch it more as an exotic Miata competitors, which online enthusiasts would probably love, but I'm honestly not sure whether that would have converted into sales. I also think at the time DCT/padel shifters were seen as exotic and quite cool, though they became more and more prevalent in commodity cars across the VW-group range and others, and lost that appeal.

I doubt many potential customers were all that concerned about the PRACTICATLITY of a tiny 2 seater sports car? Or did they think it made the vehicle more 'upscale', and couldn't afford to develop a second transmission option?

I own a 4C (so take this opinion with a big grain of salt) but I think the TCT (what Alfa calls their DCT) is the best transmission they could have gone with considering the rest of the drive train. This is a pretty small engine with quite a lot of boost (21+ psi) so there is turbo lag. The TCT keeps you on boost and is very fun with the loud brap from the exhaust and never interrupting the loud turbo and intake noises. This car is kinda sensory overload, it is just a different experience than the satisfaction of rowing your own gears in a true manual. That said, Alfa Works in the UK has apparently fitted a manual to their development 4C but that is way down the customization rabbit hole for sure.

Fantastic review and the most favorite driving experiences in my collection (#75 LE). Maybe mentioned in the other comments; but it does have Race mode as well, which kills all the traction control, gives you zero rev limiter (it’ll bounce) and makes for a wildly different experience altogether(hold in D for 5s). Put a stage 2 ECM tune, intercooler, intakes and swap out the race exhaust with center exit and you’re in sub 11s 1/4 mile territory-not that it matters; however throw some turns in and you’ll be gapping V12 cousins. Truly a remarkable experience. Unparalleled. I compare everything to its performance and price ratio. Getting into GT3 RS money before I can think of anything that can beat the thrill of the 4C. One of the pieces (besides the DCT, no third pedal) I see as a negative, particularly on the 18/19 setup are the Pirelli AR (yes, special tires) P-Zeros front P205/40R18, rear: P235/35R19 - popular to move a bit wider to 215/245 for a bit more contact without messing with camber.

The Alfa 4C only makes a compelling choice if you like automatics, turbocharged 4-cylinders, and unassisted steering. I'd personally rather a revvy naturally aspirated flat-6 with a manual transmission and hydraulically assisted steering. There are plenty of second-hand Porsche 911's fitting that description, available for the same price or less than an Alfa 4C. I drove a 4C on track, and it was good for what it was... that being said, there are much better enthusiast vehicles for the money. It also tried to bite me once it started raining and the back end stepped out. That was just cruising behind our instructors car as well, making super light inputs.
