I have chosen already and bought the A110S (same color and options like in the video) Why? I have driven both and the ALPINE is a different kind of getting engaged by the car on the road. It's so amazing and I use it as daily car. In normal mode no problem at all and the automatic gear box is perfect through the city. Why a Cayman T is in that point better? No way and I have driven both versions of the Cayman S and T. My hint for everyone who has the money for these cars ... test drive the ALPINE A110S Not only for 10 minutes. Drive it some hours also through normal traffic and of course on fancy roads ... Then decide ... I did it and selected the A110S

Just keep good after sales services & spare part distribution and Alpine soon to be a classic in next 25-50 years. In My Humble Opinion

The predictable , sensible & logical choice would be the Cayman , the best engineered all-round daily drivers sports car , but somehow the Alpine to me is more desirable , it has more soul & character , it will be much more rare & exclusive for those drivers who want to be different & not follow the herd , the design whether you like it or not stands out compared to the Porsche which have all looked much the same for decades & obviously that 4 cylinder in the Cayman is the biggest drawback when the A110 sounds better & despite being smaller has superior performance due to it's lightweight & is cheaper to run , no doubt the Cayman would be the winner if they bring back that 6 pot engine !.

Cayman GTS 4.0 is a 70-75k car for decent spec, so in a slight category above these 55-60k cars. I don't think I could spend 60k on either of those cars as tested, something from the used market I think would be a lot more exciting for less money (even with some set aside for maintenance) a 987.2 3.4s or 987 R 981 S or GTS, Alternately original M2 coupe for 30k would have 1 years bmw warranty and a 3.0L 6cyl and some back seats....

Here’s the thing: 1) get over the engine. I guess the issue is rather than the last generation had a Boxer 6 engine which sounded far better and “felt better”- but overall the new engine is lighter, more capable - just doesn’t sound as good! 2) I am confused, that car reviews came this way. These cars are just not track toys (for most). They are probably daily drivers for most people. Hence dismissing most of the every day capabilities and features is just ignorant and stupid. Both cats are fun and very capable. But I would fit into the Cayman and the Cayman is more liveable - more comfy, roomy etc - than the Alpine. This is more important than subtleties!

This is not the day yet where turbo engines are as good as N/A, just a fact, they are getting better, but not there yet. And no they are not daily drivers, all you need is to go on the used market and have a look on the average mileage, these are week end cars mostly, hence why you will rarely see the A110 on the road. And having driven both, you can live with the A110, good for you if you prefer the Porsche, but both are able to fulfill the daily duties.

@@chumaxa Well - I owned a Boxster and it is a great daily driver. I also owned other small coupes/convertibles as well as have test driven a lot of others. And I honestly believe, that the small Porsche gives the best daily driving experience - without the compromise. Mileage isn't also a good indicator (especially if you are living in London...) if it is a "daily driver". Obviously it won't be a car for a person who needs the car for his job...

James said he'd have the Alpine but I have the impression he'd really prefer the Porsche. I don't think one is better than the other, different strokes... The Alpine feels more agile and unique, the Porsche has better build quality and feels more expensive. I'd like to say the Alpine is more sensational, fun etc but I think that Porsche lovers enjoy their cars just as much in the end. I've always loved Renault Sport's nimbleness so the Alpine A110 is nothing short of a God-send, but acknowledge this often comes at the sacrifice of driving more well-rounded German cars. Clio RS vs Golf GTIs, Alpine A110 vs Cayman, etc.

I have seen this video at least 3 times and James' verdict baffles me, after his being so effusive in praise for the Cayman T. I was really expecting a split-decision. That said, the engineering recipe of the Alpine does not appear original to me. Those who have read a recent revisit of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL's report by Autocar in the 1950's will know how this machine outdid the heavier and more powerful Ferraris of the day. The Mercedes 300 SL, like the Alpine, drew upon aluminium components to achieve this engineering superiority. And, I am sure that the Alpine, like the Mercedes 300 SL, gained in sheer agility from this. So, as admirably agile as the Renault is, I think that this was a recipe borrowed from great cars of the past like the Mercedes 300 SL gull-wing. With safety being such a high priority on my list, I would prefer the safer handling Porsche over the exhilaration of sheer agility and value for money which together I think, sadly, constitute the main criterion for the verdict of this video review.

After so many years with crappy auto transmissions, finally PDK and others DCT’s are so good and selling so much and some testers now want the manual transmission to engage?! Here is an idea: engage with a 987 Cayman. It’s a great car and you’ll be pleased!

I wish Renault would produce an A110 'Plus', with the engine and steering-mapping/geometry of the 'S', but produce a 'hybrid' suspension-tuning that was much closer to the standard car's damping (perhaps, identical to it), but with stiffer anti-roll bars. I'd keep the smaller wheels of the standard car - tires, I'm not sure about... That would be a truly perfect package.

Porsche should take the new 6 cylinder engine from the GTS, and make a 4 cylinder version and stick it into the T, and reduce the tire width. IT needs to have some models in lineup that focus on fun for the street, and not outright speed which endangers the drivers license. Currently would always take the Alpine base model

The problem for the Alpine is the badge versus cost. £60k is a lot of money when you can own a Porsche badge... even if it's the obvious choice. I would love an Alpine A110S but at £30k. Needs to be like 370z money really to be a real viable choice. £60k gets you a lot of second hand car. eg an Aston Martin Vantage. It's gonna cost in maintenance but it's an Aston Martin, different level.

only if they shifted the indicator & headlamp stalk to right of the steering wheel & the wiper stalk to the left!!! really don't understand why cars built inherently as LHD are also built for RHD markets simple elements like the indicator stalk & gear selector display on the floor mounted 6-spd or 10-spd auto transmission remain unchanged in the RHD variant, deliberately not configured for RHD disciplines!!! they should be on the the right side, because that's how a RHD vehicle is configured!!! legendary automobile publications like Auto Car & Top Gear should protest & take up the matter with OEMs for the sake of safety at the very least if not anything else!!! I'm more than confident your subscribers & fans will support you in your protest without a shred of doubt!!! because your protest is 100% legitimate!!!

I tried the Alpine and liked the noise of the engine. Then I went to test if it was real. Lowered the windows and went full steam in the next available tunnel and.... nothing! The noise is just a loudspeaker inside! I will stick with Porsche for quite a while 😁 Cheers,

The Porsche is over-refined. Filtered steering feel, bah, that's an excuse for not being able to get as much feel as with the hydraulic rack. I have to wonder though, this doesn't seem like as good a comparison as the Alpine would have been with a 4C or an Elise SC.

Cayman has classic styling. 110 looks like a bit plainer, like a kit car. Cayman is a Porsche, 110 basically a Renault. Cayman has built in quality, 110 I suspect far less. Cayman is manual, 110 isn't, Porsche more common, 110 more exclusive. No competition in my view, the Porsche every day, but each to his own. Wonder how many people saying the 110 would still make that choice if they were actually walking into a showroom with a pocket of cash?

Never drove one but every tester I've seen testing it said the Alpine was a banger and a real joy to drive for sportscar enthousiast. This makes me think we need to drive the Alpine to understand how enjoyable it is to drive.

As good as the Alpine might be it doesn't have everyday usability - plus it doesn't have a manual box. The Cayman remains the benchmark, so my money would go on the Porsche. Every time.

alpine shouldn't be considered as everyday car i believe, because everything makes it special is about its drivetrain. the moment you consider the cabin and screens etc, alpine loses that being special feeling instantly.

@@millipekmez577 A few points, the car is a two seater like many other "sports" cars. It's onboard functions provide connectivity via Alpine App along with radio, SD card, Nav. Do you think the folks at Alpine only designed it not to be a daily drive. If fact I know of 3 local owners that use the A110 as daily drives. The car is about minimum weight, one can add accessories for storage such as a bin on the back fire wall between the seats. Leather pouches that live each side of seats next to doors. By all means buy a Porsche for more storage but less handling, performance and enjoyment. But then I am so bias.
