Should You Buy the £60,000 New Alpine A110 S?

[@SpencerPlanton]

Got an A110S and it is bloody brilliant. If you think a car must be a heavyweight GT - then it isn’t for you. If you think a car must have a massive engine - then it isn’t for you. If you think a car must have active suspension - then it isn’t for you. If you think a car must have a German badge - then it isn’t for you. If you think a car must be a manual to be a sports car - then it isn’t for you. If you have never driven one and slag it off - then it isn’t for you. If you can’t see why some of the world's most respected car designers, journalists and petrol heads rate this car - then it isn’t for you. Go drive one and it might just change your mind.

As someone who's had an Alpine A110 Premier Edition for 2 years, it is a little beast. It ALWAYS catches people by surprise and holds its own along side AMGs & M cars. Amazing car, don't judge the 1.8l, it is VERY capable.

[@henriksmedberg2570]

I beleive you nailed the essence of this car - great review!

[@alexmurray6956]

Great video Paul , certainly captured the feeling of driving an A110 . I have just ordered A110 gt as wanted balance between comfort and sport. Yes it’s 60k but people should look at the residuals and Alpine PCP option and it makes financial sense ( if ever a car does) . Lots of people don’t realise that with inflation running at 9 % and Likely to be high for next few years , newer cars will hold more value and you balloon payment further down the road will in real terms be less .Oh and chances of me seeing another A110 gt on the road is highly unlikely .

[@danielthomas8507]

Proper sportscar.. not like those rubbish 800hp pointless things we have around these days.....I'd have this over nearly all supercars...

[@simonhurlimann908]

Couldn`t agree more!

[@angelarnaudas]

You nailed it. I can tell you by own experience.

[@mattbourne4401]

Very good review and well summarised the pleasure we can get with this car. I just got mine an S 2022 and all I want to do is find good roads to drive no matter where it goes, exactly as you commented.

[@still1going2strong86]

The description of the driving experience is the nail on the head. Well done!

[@ashking8759]

Saw a few of these at the British Motorshow last year. Sadly missed out on a driving experience in one but still got to sit in one. The looks alone in blood orange was a good enough reason for it to be added to my ever growing dream car list. Gorgeous little car.

[@R-Tap]

Great looking car, one of very few I would consider ahead of a Cayman. Sadly not available in Ireland.

[@Mexxx65]

Sadly not available anywhere now (in AU)! It flopped badly, makes a Porsche Boxster/Caymen a veritable Volkswagen Beetle!!!!

[@OzzyM1998]

You could get one here, I've seen an Irish registered one in Dublin! Not sure how servicing would be done though, maybe through a Renault dealer?

[@richboy900]

I like the alpine, and feel like if you bought one, you'd be the only one driving around in one. Has that exclusivity which is cool. Just can't justify that price though.

[@PutSomeDsonThatBlink]

Hugely underrated car. A car which reminds people that's it's not all about the numbers which brings enjoyment to driving.

[@markthoughtswithukrainemas2072]

PROBLEM is its FRENCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@del21trotter]

Problem is price also ,it is just too expensive

[@markthoughtswithukrainemas2072]

[@angelarnaudas]

I’ve had many cars. I’m not that young anymore. My A110R is the second A110 I own and I’ve never driven anything so thrilling, easy and precise. Ever.

[@octaveful]

I wanted to put two thumbs up on this video!

[@adamrawlings6789]

Why does 300bhp 'sound like a small number'? I really don't understand. A Mk1 Golf GTI was about 115bhp, this A110S is almost three times as much. A Clio 220 Trophy is 220bhp, and weighs about the same, so I'd say 300bhp is not a small number by any reckoning

[@eddiefowke]

After having several RS Clio's over the years I'd pick up one of these in a heartbeat if they were available of here in NZ!

[@simonhurlimann908]

Clio RS were also great cars. Had the last 4 RS Trophy and it was a blast!

[@angelarnaudas]

And you would never regret

[@AleksandrHalas]

This one of dream and most favorite car from France!!! in Ukraine, French cars are very cautious and skeptical because of their reliability and cost of maintenance, but this does not apply to commercial vehicles such as RENAULT MASTER, RENAULT KANGOO

[@Mexxx65]

Paul, if Alpine shudda dropped a manual box in the latest S model, it would have sold a lot better. Oh I'm surprised Seb D didn't give you a run in his A110 a while back.

[@ChapHammersmith]

Unfortunately they didn’t have the budget to develop it in both manual and auto. Auto was the better financial choice for them. It’s a shame but I feel that once they are able to, a manual will arrive whether it’s a future generation of this or the joint project car with Lotus.

[@Franzino]

@@ChapHammersmith There will never be a manual A110 or A110S. Honestly; with the gearing this short a manual gearbox would not be the nicest option also (for the record I love cars with a manual gearbox).

I appreciate your enthusiasm and it’s one of the best all round daily cars for driver focus but there are better drivers cars out there.

Still it’s a fair bit less practical than the GR
