[@AD690smcr]

I was thinking this too. What a waste of time

I do love the early 90's Japanese sports car homage looks (I bet that's not what they were aiming for but it's where they ended up) and it seems like the purest of this lot - it would definitely make a great second car for weekends and track days.

[@heamees4822]

I wish there were timed laps, but regardless I'd choose the Alpine. I like its light weight and fun factor over power and pure perfomance approach and the retro desing. Also, unlike the 718, the 4-cylinder fits with its character in my opinion

[@nunobandeira1811]

Agree, just wish they made a nice manual box! 😪 They went to so much trouble and expense to make a great involving sports car and then stick a dct in it 🤦🏻‍♂️ deal breaker for me

[@drazenbudis7881]

And the best braking feel ever, a point many dont talk about, but its an incredibly important part of driving experience. If you ever get the chance to drive one, take notice of that. Sublime!

[@lucianwisniewski8693]

Nuno Bandeira I agreed with you- before I'd been in one. Somehow, you actually don't really miss the manual box, the car is so fantastic to drive without it!

[@nunobandeira1811]

Lucian I have unfortunately never driven one but my last car was a gt86 and the manual box just helped make it so involving! Surely I wouldn’t have loved it as much as I did with a dct... I’m sure the Alpine is a really great car as it is, just think it could’ve been even better with a nice manual. It doesn’t even have the 991 gt3 argument of being so fast that you’re glad you get to keep both hands on the wheel all the time... I’m really happy they went ahead and built the Alpine but these things are made (ok a little bit for the image factor but mostly) to make money! And I’d like to give them some of mine for having the guts to do it and do it properly but the lack of a stick and a 3rd pedal really breaks it for me... Porsche went back on it when the gt3 came out as pdk only, I hope Alpine have the courage to do the same!

[@hyweltthomas]

@@nunobandeira1811 I had the GT86 followed by an Elise S2 but the Alpine is an absolute joy. I totally agree with your thoughts on manual driving, but, for me - and for every other tester on YT, they don't miss a manual at all. I urge you to have a test drive.

[@michaelsalter2473]

I’ve had both and there’s no comparison, the E46 had a kind of tinny sound as it went through the power band, intoxicating. The M2 is a deep growl though the pops and bangs are kind of fun. I would love the M2 to sound like the E46, May an Akrapovic exhaust when it’s out of warranty.

[@AndyBettencourt]

You don't 'properly' test cars if you don't give us a lap-time comparison. Good grief.

[@jsracs]

Andy Bettencourt No lap time because the M2 comp didn’t make it on top. I finally know the reason of the missing lap time, the last couple days, people from the US & Canada brought their Supra to the track, and the 2020 GR Supra beat the M2 comp in a back to back dog flight, as well as cayman s 981 and 991 C4S lap time. (You can search those video on KZbin) W Most likely because the Supra lap time was too good to be shown. Auto car are Bmw fan boy.

@Viet Phan Well in reality is true and the Alpine point is the low weight so... We can expect a manual soon... or a catherham ;)

[@lucianwisniewski8693]

Viet Phan Well, it is the reason, whether you believe me or not... Alpine focused on light weight over power for the A110 project and thus to save weight with the ability to have a central tunnel for lightweight components (an E-Handbrake for example) they opted for a DCT.

I got a 718 base Cayman MT but it does have a sports exhaust. Never had an older 6 cylinder one. Could never afford/justify the new 6 GT4 price so somewhat limited in choice. Looked at the M2, but wanted 2 seats only. Funnily enough though took my buddy for a test drive last week and he commented on how surprised he was that the engine/exhaust sounded so good. Im not sure these tests with the mic only picking up the inside noise is a true indication of the sound. I do like driving with the windows down though so I can hear more of the exhaust. Out of those 4, I'd still buy the Cayman. It's just a joy to drive, and the chassis, gearbox make it just a great place to be in all the time. I daily drive it through the summer.

Not to be biased, but what would the daily annoyance of the M2 be?. I recognize that this is not an easy choice or verdict - but perhaps follow up with a race driver in the seat for some hot laps. and on the other side bring on some luggage that would fit for a long weekend tour. It is kind of weird to judge these cars and include daily driving as a parameter when only being on the track - Then it should be about which one makes most fun/satisfaction on the track that determines the verdict. At least I´d like to see a follow up to this episode, whatever the theme would be. Daily Driving/living with, hot laps, acceleration. I´m sorry but this comparison review was a bit muddy waters overall.

[@rare6499]

I agree. Surely by every metric the M2 is easier to live with over the Supra. More room inside, rear seats, a larger more usable boot...

[@CurtJ007]

The M2 rides like a race car tuned for the Nurburgring , hard as nails, ask me how I know.... ;)

[@MrGB1999]

I think it'd be so useful with so many of these reviews if we could also use a second hand example as a wild card option. Something that previously was perhaps levels above this type of field but over time is more equivalent. So for example, when reviewing a new Cayman, why not throw in a cheaper end Ferrari 360, a mid-priced 997 / 991 or the last edition R8 or M3 etc etc. Because that's what the average consumer is trying to weigh up, and those types of choices are out there. 👍

[@inf_infinity9681]

I'd choose the Supra. I like the Alpine's agility, but Nordschleife lap times show that the Supra is 4 seconds faster than the A110.

Car makers making cars like the Alpine needing us buyers to buy them to keep them building them: I absolutely love the thing and would love to have one BUT at more than 50K a car maker would have to give me much more than a tiny 1.8T 4 pot, an extra pedal and a much better build e.g. as it stands it is massively overpriced in my opinion a problem that has affected Lotus for donkey years. Sales will tell but as with Lotus it will probably remain an exotic rarity which will be the main reward for those who have and who will sink their dosh into this lightweight dough

[@michaelsalter2473]

Have an M2 and looking at the Competition to replace it. I tried a 2.7 Cayman 4 years ago when changing from a 135 Coupe and was captivated by how good it was and although the engine didn’t have the grunt of the 135 it was still so much better, only the finance rate stopped me buying as well as some practicality, (it’s my daily). Fast forward an M235 and 2 years with a an M2 later and the engine in the Cayman I’ve just test driven was, for me, poor. Nowhere near my M2 and although chassis and steering were better a 200 mile blast across mid Wales later confirmed the M2 as a wonderful piece of kit and great fun. Next one will be an M2 comp, I just couldn’t live with that Porsche engine up and down the A1M. If it didn’t intrude in to the cabin so much I might be able to ignore it but the flat spot in lower revs is so frustrating after the M2.

[@smiler921]

Still one of my favourite reviews

I agree, it's difficult to choose between them. If practicality is a real concern, then it has to be the M2 or the BMW Supra. The Porsche is probably the most expensive by far & kudos for its manual GB (the BMW also comes with a manual) but a 4-cylinder at this price point? The Alpine is beautifully minimalist, so it cannot be ignored either.

Finding the right car is like finding right partner to spend the rest of your life with. No body's perfect, but you have to ask yourself "can you live with their flaws?"

I love how an inline 6 in Europe is a big engine, I just bought my first turbo charged vehicle last year and I'm really enjoying having power and fuel economy. I've been thinking about getting the new supra in a few years, but in the back of my mind I'm always thinking the z4 is going to be the better buy just because if the power difference

[@chrisgarret3285]

M2 Competition for me, it's not even close

[@SonOfTamriel]

Supra rear end looks like some goth kid that was rejected by a Black Metal band and started his own solo project of depressing self-loathing noise

[@steviewanda4895]

How about the cayman s 981 against those?

[@davidhuysmans67]

Should have taken a Cayman GTS for this test.

[@thorandmoljnir]

The M2 is by far the best looking and probably the most useful as a daily driver. Love the Porsche's handling but I can't get into the look of it. Supra's Ok and the Alpine is too much of a weekend toy -very cool- but not for me.

[@Peanutdenver]

Agreed! Unless you offered the new 718 Spyder or GT4 with their NA flat 6 goodness.

[@Franzino]

thorandmoljnir Manual M2 is my daily driver for almost 3 years....I absolutely love it. When my Girlfriend wanted to buy a new sportscar...she ordered the A110...which is indeed the perfect addition besides the M2 😉

[@ickilis_5077]

The alpine a110 looks like a fish

[@cardude1992]

Can it swim tho?

[@anthonydeas2173]

I'm with you there... The front lights are just hideous

[@FEGTTTSDH]

Well the cayman is not a looker... much less the supra... the bmw is just like always... The alpine is different, is like the predecessor

[@Spinks345]

Great comparison video, and applause for not copping out at the end and saying they are all good for something (ie. not making a pick). What I suggest should be done, is bring value into the conversation. That way you can expand on the aforementioned conclusion of “they all do something well”, but the most value for your sports car dollar with the criteria of x, is y. Not sure what UK pricing is, but here in North America, there’s a large price difference between a Supra and Cayman/M2.

[@keithprinn6900]

so compare with the old Cayman with the non turbo 6 cylinder.
