It's amazing how far throttle house has come :)

Yeah really,however thomas had really good dialogues even 4 years ago,impressive

I just found them around Christmas 2021 and scrolled back to see it from the beginning. Was still quality review even back then!

[@kreush7329]

Wheres the glasses these days

[@nasomaz]

Its amazing how they made a 1.7l sound so good

[@cstraley]

agree! Called open pipes...

[@AmsterdamSam]

Alfa’s 1,4 liter multi air also sounds beautiful

[@Tonyx.yt.]

i traveled on a car with this exactly engine (another alfa romeo model but same exactly engine) with straigh pipe exhaust... it was so amazing

[@CAR_NL]

I have the same engine in my Giulietta. Driving an Alfa Romeo is always special. You really let the viewer experience that feeling. Driving every Alfa Romeo is something special. The high output out of small engines, the steering, the sound, everything.

[@racechassis]

I can't stop laughing at Thomas's professor face kit. 🤣🤣😅 . Y'all have come a long way in numbers but I can't believe I missed it then. It's so good. ❤

[@bremms1]

Finally review where somebody understands the 4c

[@sachinkaushik2064]

Cant beat Italians when it comes to design lines and what a growl this thing has ! Superb

[@Coachdylanhatch]

By far the best 4c review! Great job!

[@4gosselin]

One of my top 5 Alfa 4C videos. Best quote "oh just what a thing"

[@bubbiecarrillo9220]

I would have thought you would have gotten one of these by now? This video along with a few others helped my decide to pull the trigger on one last month! It is a beautiful thing! Love your reviews!

[@christiandulaney1638]

I just found TH about 2 weeks ago. It is the very best car review channel on YT. I am cracking up to see what a TH video looked and sounded like 6 years ago. Totally different world

[@antonioamendola4474]

This is my first comment on old test that they have been done on the 4C and you know what it was simply the best, not because you thrashed it around or you did all kinds of testing and came up with all kinds of numbers ,nor you did comparisons with other cars in its class , you simply drove it and you really loved it because a lot of us will never get the chance to drive it or much less own one , and you are absolutely absolved from willing to drive an Aztec as a daily driver just to have that in the garage . It's real passion you showed , I'm subscribing to your channel , it is my first u tube sub . My compliments to you .

[@ThrottleHouse]

+Antonio Amendola thank you sir. This was one of my early car reviews. The reaction you see on my face is genuine. In fact when I drive that car now I still get that feeling.

[@Icemonkey01]

Man I'm jealous! I love everything about this car. Awesome car review. I also appreciate your other videos, especially since I own a 325i myself. =P

[@MS-dp3py]

Amazing to see how young he is. Haha. Great to see how far they have come today. This is also an amazing video on a beautiful car. Thanks TH.

[@torocars9227]

This car made my love of driving so much more exciting.

[@polarbear111000]

Great review!! Thanx for the Canadian tuning info. I'm seriously looking at adding one of these to my garage: Gen 5 Viper GTS, AP1 S2000, WRX STi Hatch, 2015 Mustang.

[@atomicorang]

Great job. Knowing the 4c exists makes life worth living sir.❤

[@goo5976]

Wow, this was actually a decent review. Nicely done. People might start subscribing more often!

[@dalindagarza9614]

What a car! Awesome review man love your Channel

[@wowbagger66]

A very enjoyable review, you have a great presenting style. I have had seven Alfas over the last 30 years, I hope to add a 4C to the list within the next year and this video is making me impatient for that day..

[@ThrottleHouse]

+wowbagger66 thanks for watching. Check out my track review too. These things are truly incredible on the circuit.

[@wowbagger66]

I watched that one prior to this and it was also very enjoyable, I have driven a few Lotuses and I expected the Exige to be a lot faster than the 4c, the fact that it wasn't is a huge testament to the abilities of the 4C.

[@ThrottleHouse]

+wowbagger66 it really is. With a few mods that Alfa will be very very fast.

[@apvcore]

@@ThrottleHouse If it’s that much better with just a tune, I bet you could probably get close to another 100hp with some bolt-on’s? Down pipe, headers, exhaust and maybe intercooler? Or is that an over estimate?

[@ThePilotGear]

cool oldie review! love the 4C

[@georgesabbagh4269]

Really you are amazing person you talk nice slow the people real they can understand what you say without being nerves God bless you 🙏👍

[@TheRoopDhillon]

I think this video has convinced me to buy one

[@LordHolley]

I was about to say that I missed James in here but then I noticed the video was 5 years old. It show has definitely gone the right direction.

[@cottstate]

What a great review! I care about the emotions a car digs up. I have overlooked the 4C because of no manual. Maybe I should drive one to see what all the fuss is about. The Noises and Looks are to die for!!!

[@toninaude1552]

Great review mate! Greetings from SA

[@boblivingston4841]

Good review; thanks!

[@rossmorgan3273]

Excellent review excellent car

[@apolkalypso]

Nicely done.

[@SaenzFonsi]

If you get you a FIXD OBD2 gadget, you can tell how fast you get to 60. I have one stock and you are right this car is just a joy to drive and I have driven many sports cars, some borrowed some rented and some owned but none speak to me like the 4c. My wife says the bark is not a bark is a racoon snort. and if you have had a racoon talk to you when it is unhappy that is the sound. I hope you get one, and thank you for a well made video.

[@longrifle98]

I battled this car (and even got to drive it) all year in autocross. It's too much and too good!

[@omardenarzi8226]

Its's really beautiful from out side

[@carlito3624]

That’s it , time to get one !

[@coleandres7565]

Never mind on the springs! Didn't see your shock video

[@coleandres7565]

Next Jeremy clarkson? Awesome reviews... just straight quality videos... 👌🏼 Please find a Hurcan to review.

[@ThrottleHouse]

Ill see what I can do...

[@79shehri]

Spot on

[@MyMemesAreTerrible]

Never thought you would get to drive some of the cars you drive now :)

[@puresxxx]

Very Good review

[@fredsalfa]

Nice review. Need a 0-60 time on the tuned version though.

[@lauritzendjofficial3532]

Nice One...Grats :)

[@deejayimm]

I've always been a sucker for small, nippy, light vehicles. Unfortunately I am not in a place in life where I find myself passing a Maserati/Alpha dealership on my way to a Lotus dealership, so I bought a Ford Fiesta ST. Lol I don't know why throttle house never did a review on the Fiesta ST, they're pretty fun stock, but with a tune they really wake up. I absolutely love the 4C, but I've seen them priced pretty ridiculously. The only new one within 500 miles of me on AutoTrader is $88,000 US, and I'm pretty sure if you had that kind of money you can get a decked-out Ariel Atom with the Type R engine and even save money.

[@jonvonahnen7252]

@Throttle House...I have a Giulia that I adore, and I see Thomas enjoyed this 4C very much. If I'm following correctly, he's very high on the BMW M2 right now. While we're waiting for the quarantine to lift, I wonder if you guys have thought about doing a "Throttle House All-Time Top 10," or something like that. Mostly, I'm wondering where this 4C is in your heart now, versus something like the M240 or M2.

[@Mykel0007]

Very good review, with a little bit of professional touch, a sneak peak under the hood would have been nice 😊, Still good vid👍. Do you have parking sensors on your e46? Would love a video on a neat and well positioned installation of a parking sensor/senors on a BMW e46 or your e46. Shouldn't be too expensive I think. Good work! thanks in advance.

[@atio5491]

This feels so different from videos today...growth, change, etc

[@rascalendeavor]

I want one too!

[@cstraley]

Never even contemplated buying any Alfa Romeo but I drove one at the suggestion of a friend and omg I had to have one. What a ridiculous price for literally a supercar, especially if you get lucky enough to find a leftover at deep discounts. Then you might feel guilty driving it away but not 4 long. It feels sub 4 seconds stock! I own 2 sub 4 sec cars, I can tell. Wow is what I say every time I drive it. Anyone who owns one is lucky and blessed. As a daily driver I would not buy this car as it does have supercar like compromises.

[@raymondnewbill5294]

Real Supercars are not so compromised these days, this thing is just so tiny there is no room for storage. These are like 0-60 in 4.4 sec stock arent they???

[@deanoliver4051]

@@raymondnewbill5294 Yes, this is what comes to your mind and to the majority. But beeing not so compromised is the first compromise! I love Supercars AND my 4C for its character. If I need storage I use my other car. And I will not win the Champions League with the Alfa. But I'm feeling alive. That is mostly my target, haha

[@ronf28]

Great video! (but why was there a minute of silence at the end?)

[@Kranca2000]

This car is my dream girl. 😍

[@tufan075]

Aaaahhh old T.H

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

Currently searching for an Elise or Exige in the US, would also consider one of these if only it had a manual option.

[@computiNATEor]

Hehe, the little Alfa 4C is so communicative because it has a fully manual steering rack. No power assist whatsoever; nothing diluting the communication between the road and your fingertips. I think it might be the only mass- produced car available now (at least here in the US) without power steering.

[@ThrottleHouse]

Lotus I think, has a similar steering philosophy.

[@computiNATEor]

Ah, yes, the Elise is manual, too. The Evora is powered, though.

[@maxwellewxam8868]

This is the most Canadian man I've seen

[@josephlai1883]

damn, the glowup

[@flunkie91]

Wow well if a bimmer guy liked it I'll probably like it too. And it's undeniably sexy. Such a sweet ride!

[@orperez87]

Whoa Thomas is looking like a young Russell Crowe

[@victorpq6533]

This is the kind of car James would like 🤣

what song is this beat in the beginning from, i remember hearing it before

[@Mandrak789]

Fiat should've put this engine into the top 124...

[@yvesbetschmann892]

they tried hard... but it was to big.

[@jackwarrior2377]

@@yvesbetschmann892 that’s what she said

[@garbageking3917]

"5 years ago" thanks youtube

[@JStryker7]

So this was in 2016 and the Alfa commercial with "ride on the backs of dragons" was in 2017?

[@coleandres7565]

Could you give us a review on H&R lowering springs for your e46. I've heard it's the way to go for being able to lower, but still have drivability. but I don't know if I should bite the bullet...

[@flunkie91]

You get mixed reviews, and it depends on which ones. Touring, appear to have complaints about not lowering enough, sports have the tendency to not retain as much ride quality as people hoped for and I guess race springs don't really sit "even". I've read this on multiple threads for e36, etc, even e90 dude's have issues with the car being lower on the left side on even ground.

[@flunkie91]

But those are minor complaints. I love my h&r sports on my e36 coupe. They are firm, strong, lower 2 inches all around and coupled with bilsteins it's a pretty formidable combo on a non adjustable suspension budget!

[@larryfishkind5387]

It’s a shame they didn’t make the 2.0 guilia sound as exciting as the 4c

[@karacop78]

If FCA was healthier and could spare some extra $ to develop a N/A V6, say a 2.5l with 300hp at 9000rpm... Maybe with a Maranello touch, which is so frequently implied with QV models nowadays. It could be more expensive, yes, but they also could have gone with an aluminum body, the extra weight would be minimal. But even with that poor interior, it would be my dream car. The 1750Tbi engine is a fine modern motor but nothing special. And this car IS special.

[@Lolloz89]

Nice review! Except it is a 1.780 cc, more like a 1.8L than a 1.7. Not by much, but I think it makes some difference in the end.

[@vhateverlie]

Lorenzo Santi well actually 1.748 rounded to whatever that person feels like saying or the significant figures.

[@Highhookmvp]

1750

[@CarsByVincent]

Same engine as my dads 159, and ours is tuned to 250hp. Its a great little engine.

[@AlfaEricWashDC]

Yeah, let it sink in. Be careful, you just might find out that you too are an Alfisti

[@ThrottleHouse]

+AlfaEricWashDC .....might be too late

[@corneliusscipio777]

"Alfista". Alfisti is the plural 😉

[@maldridge7630]

For this car I might be willing to get rid of my 440i coupe manual and my Ninja 1000!

Manual steering is the best!!

[@beatrizguiselle]

Where is James ?

[@carscoffeeandcannabis-634]

Hey man, I know you are in Ontario, where are these roads? Is this Fork of the Credits? I'm looking for some nice, unfamiliar driving roads if you have any suggestions

[@ThrottleHouse]

This is in Milton. There are only like two corners there though. Not the best

[@acchaladka]

Try the 427 North from Toronto and then hang a right toward Ottawa - long trip but great roads. You don’t say where you are in Ontario so, sorry if that’s too far.

[@torocars9227]

that road looks smooth and very fun to drive. Where is it? thanks

[@ThrottleHouse]

It is in Ontario, north of Burlington

[@waynemiller1609]

Whats been tuned?

[@checkoutjason]

whos in that e46 that seems to be in the way on the turns ;)

[@ThrottleHouse]

Haha hey Jay. That would be the owner of the Alfa. Driving it better than I'm capable of lol.

[@checkoutjason]

+E46 Reviews with T.H. haha no doubt seems to be handling reasonably well!

[@DrAGoNxSL]

Damn

[@aos32]

The Alfa Romeo 4C are much heavier in the US than everywhere else. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_4C The car weighs only 895 kilos everywhere else.

[@SJSOmar]

So how would you compare a Saab to a Nissan skyline which is faster ?? When the Saab is stage 1 tuned

[@ThrottleHouse]

+TheGamingPapaya mostly likely the skyline. Stage 1 would not be enough

[@TheWombatCredenza]

And I’m .....James?

[@crazzyzack]

What road in Ontario are you driving on.

[@ThrottleHouse]

+Zakaria KTM near Milton. Back roads.

[@matthiasweidner5335]

Its a 1752ccm, so its a 1.8 😉

[@helmhamburgerhand]

The steering feedback sounds a lot like, no lie the Jeep Gladiator 😂. Which given the relation of the cars, okay.

[@PokeTycoon]

Thomas, what was that fantasy about ‘riding the back of a consenting Italian dragon?’

Here is what euopean production car manufacturers can do when Ford just introduce for 2016-17 their first Mustang equiped with IRS !

[@HassanAsani]

is this in anyone's recommended, or is it just me?

[@marcooconnor]

15hp from a tune? That's not great tbh. Most 4c stage 1's are 265ish plus

[@ThePikmin18]

I would have considered one of these if they would have come in a manual

[@zinidinerahman4168]

The car doesn’t even have power steering, that much will have both of your hands guaranteed anyway a manual gearbox would make the car very tedious to drive I’d imagine

[@jonchicoine]

This video is the perfect example of why NOT to buy this car ... Always being stuck behind someone is frustrating.... lol

[@ZDY66666]

I mean still sounds like a 4 cyl car. But a very very nice one. So far new Porsche 718 and this 4C sounds amazing for 4 cylinder cars. Probably going to buy one of these two. Hell maybe both

[@ThrottleHouse]

+ZDY both great cars. The Alfa is a more "special" car if you could quantify such a thing. Maybe I could find a 718 to compare to the 4c in an upcoming track test. I already have the 4c and a lotus exige set up.
