I’ve had my 4C since March 2016. Zero the toe or very slight toe out (1.0mm), different tyres other than PZeros (Contis or Michis) and a slight increase in castor and she’s rock solid on uneven roads. Replacing rubber bushes with ss rose joints has helped too. All relatively easy and fairly cheap to do. The steering “problem” is overstated.

I’m sorry to say your opinions on the Alfa are completely wrong. This is a drivers car , plain and simple. Think back to some great cars that were very difficult to drive like an early Porsche 930, or a dodge viper. These are drivers cars meant for people with guts and ability to extract the most out of them. If you want your speed spoon fed you should love the Porsche GT3 , it will be fast and accessible. I’ve driven the Alfa and found it a little bizarre, but an alignment and a good set of tires made a huge difference. I then purchased a GMS essential handling kit and it transformed into a Porsches worst nightmare . Around a tighter course the GMS equipped Alfa could steal a 458’s lunch . Time will be kind to the 4C I think . Gorgeous Italian sports cars made in small numbers have a tendency to become extremely desirable in the their future. In an age of EVs and uninspiring cars , a beautiful, analog, raw , sports car like the 4C should be celebrated. We will never get a car like it again. 🍀

The suspension is adjustable. The wining combo IMO is to add a few degrees of caster, and set toe to 2mm out. That keeps the quick turn in response but takes out the nervous feeling. Alignment is a preference, tho. Setup your alignment however you feel is best.
@arjanvandenbrand2070 Жыл бұрын
Love my 4C, and the tramlining is part of the character for me. I did align it to 0 toe (instead of the factory toe-out!!) and that neutralizes the car, but i didnt go for softer Michelin or suspension blocks that increase the caster. Afraid it may become more of a stable Autobahn cruiser (Porsche alike) instead of the hyperactive go-kart it now is. At the rear, GMS motorsport makes beautiful uniball rear suspension arms that take away the flex of the rubber bushings, and with that no alugnment changes under pression and when cornering hard. Highly recommended!! So for me, the 4C has its own lively character, but can be adapted and made much more stable, should you wish to. So i dont agree to the statement it is flawed. And for the TCT: love it during canyoning!

From an owner's perspective I can tell you the issue is not the steering. There are aftermarket options to increase the castor angle which gives excellent steering feel and feedback. I find the front end and steering of my 4c to be the best of any car I have driven. The real issue is the simple rear suspension setup and they factored in passive rear steer which greatly destabilises the car. Again, there are aftermarket options to improve this but the car would benefit more from double wishbone even if it adds more weight. They could have reduced the unsprung mass as the stock wheels weigh a ton and suspension arms are steel but I guess this is down to costs. Once sorted, it's still a great car if you accept it for what it is. Should it have a manual transmission. Hell no as it doesn't quite suit the characteristics of that engine. I love the manual in my MX5 but in a 4C, that would be a mistake.

I had one. I put in the suspension blocks that allow for increased castor angle and I upgraded to wider Cup2 tires. I probably should have just gone with PS4S’s since the grip level became so good with the Cup2’s that it lost some of its excitement. Now I know the wider tires probably exaggerated some of the tramming characteristics. However, I think the more complaint nature of the Michelins vs the Pirellis, and the addition of the castor with the suspension blocks, all really helped to tame the steering. It certainly wasn’t going to be a daily driver. But it was much less unpredictable. I miss that car a bit and I would not hesitate to buy it again and make the same upgrades (but with PS4S’s). But even if it had power steering and that problem were solved, it’s still no daily. Very loud and harsh. But a fantastic canyon cruiser. Nothing outside of an exotic will turn heads as quickly. 8/10 would recommend!

I had one of the original smart cars, without power steering and a very low castor angle (due to the short length of the car). I modified it with much wider wheels / tyres and a much bigger turbo. Eventually it was around 120hp and 720kg - pretty much identical to the specs of an early lotus Elise. It wasn’t a slick precise Porsche, but no vehicle since has come close to the amount of fun I had in that car. It had a similar hyperactive quality - followed all the indentations in the road. Had no power off boost and then everything in one go. It had so much character, and everything I hear about the 4C seems extremely similar to this. I personally see the main issue being price point. It’s maybe too much character to be a daily car, but maybe isn’t special enough to be a dedicated weekend vehicle. Most will go for a Porsche that can do both, or buy something even more exotic as a weekend toy - lotus Elise / exige for example.

I'm not one to take the car to the track and modify it to try to achieve dynamics perfection, so my perspective is a little different. The slight twitchiness is part of the car's character IMO. Even if you don't add the suspension spacers, fresh tires would still help. The car is just so much fun even at legal speeds and on normal roads. I can forgive the lack of a manual gearbox but it's likely one of the reasons why the 4C didn't sell better.

So that gives you more mechanical grip (due to wide wheels/tyres) but without power steering, you will be fighting with that steering at slow speeds and have less feeling through the steering wheel. Wide rear wheels on a powerful mid engine car makes sense (like a 765LT or a 488 Pista) but the Alfa's front wheels are too wide for what the car is. Means the steering response will be poor. It won't have that split second razor sharp initial turn in like a GT3RS has. So you end up throwing the car into a corner instead of smoothly feeding the car into a corner.

There is a reason why most performance cars go to paddle shifted dual clutch trans for best performance.

I had a Launch edition and had the Alfaworks kit on the front. The car was very sensitive to tire pressure and wanted very low, basically track pressures. The rear suspension was in my view the main problem because when you accelerated hard and backed off the toe angles would change resulting in a very flighty feel in the rear. Country roads with varying cambers were a nightmare honestly. As for everyone banging on about the auto box my car was an early launch car and the shift both up and down was very fast and matched the engine perfectly. It was a little rough on the 2-1 downshift but made a great "blat" sound between shifts. My mate has one of the last cars and his shifts way slower than mine slurring a bit like a regular auto which is interesting. The thing is the engine does not like to rev and makes power in a very narrow range. With the twin clutch you can shift very quickly keeping it in that zone. A manual would not really work with that long stroke engine. I had the Alfaworks ecu in mine too which helped with the engine response particularly in 3rd gear where it felt torque limited.

I have the GMS uniballs in the rear suspension that cures any "unplanted" feel. Better tires and around 0 toe is all you need to cure any tramming but tramming is a function of manual steering and wide low profile tires. I have a 2015 LE that I bought new.... it is a great car but you have to love a raw drivers car. I agree 100% about your comments concerning tire pressure. For some reason people think you need more pressure than the 29/26# on the specs and door sticker. The 4C is VERY sensitive to tire pressure and I found that if you go over the 29/26# setting handling can go to hell quickly. On track drop it so hot it is around that also but don't forget to raise the pressure before you drive home. I suspect that in many reviews they have the tires way over what they need to be for the 4C.

I have manual cars and a 4C. I wouldn’t change a thing including the tranny. I don’t use alignment blocks. Just change the tires, increase the camber and zero toe. Who cares if it is hard to park. It is easier than a gtv6. What a bunch of pussies.

@@burgundyexpress I still have a 93 NSX with a 6spd. for 25yrs....250k :-) miles.....I wish the 4C had a sequential box but that will be too costly but will shifts very fast like a DCT....the 4C DCT is surprisingly good IMO. It is not boring at all like I originally thought. heck, the G-meter in Race mode can keep u busy looking at it and keep your eyes on the road at the same time.
