Dan Prosser has been a fan of the Alpine A110 since he first set eyes on it. He liked it so much, in fact, that he decided to buy one. So, six months, down the line, how's he getting on with it?

The CarGurus verdict
Many would-be buyers will wonder why they’d ever want something called an Alpine when they could have a Porsche for similar money. Others will think the A110’s interior too plasticky to justify the asking price, while a fair number will think its sub-300bhp power outputs are rather meagre. Those complaints and others besides (notably a sparse dealer network) explain why the A110 hasn’t sold in strong numbers in the UK.
For a certain type of buyer, though, nothing will come close. There is a purity about the A110’s engineering: aluminium construction is expensive and double wishbone suspension tricky to package, but both of those things make the car better to drive. Alpine was uncompromising in its pursuit of ride and handling brilliance, and that shows on the road. The A110 won’t be for everyone, but for a small number of people - people who care about driving above all else - it’ll be everything.
