Long time ALFA lover since 1969. Street cars and a SCCA racer also in 1970's. Bought my 2015 4C LE new and has been a fabulous car. Better tires and a good alignment are all you need to take it to next level. Lots of tips for tweaking performance and maintenance at on-line 4C Forum (I am a super moderator there). They have proven to be very reliable and while not Ford or Chevy cheap to maintain, they are a lot cheaper than P or B or M cars to own and maintain.... and you won't see another pull up next to you at stop lights. Update review on May 2024. No changes... still a fabulous car. My dealership... Genesis... in Macomb, Michigan is best dealership experience I have had in 60 years of various car ownership.

A very special sports car.

The Alfa Romeo 4C is not for everyone. It is not a practical daily driver. But for those who value a true driving experience on back roads or the track, this is a very special car. A carbon fiber chassis provides a very light weight car. A turbocharged 4 cyl engine gives amazing mid range torque, and delightful sounds. Brakes are incredible. The steering is unassisted and quick. When you drive hard into a corner, the Alpha 4C begs you to go faster. There was a long list of options for this car. The only must have in my opinion, is the optional track package. This adds a rear roll bar and a larger front bar. Body roll is nil with this package. Some owners complain of a rough ride, tramlining, and bump steer. This is easily remedied by replacing the very rigid Pirelli PZero OEM tires. A high performance Michelin or Continental tire is a good choice. The worst option is the larger 18/19 inch wheels. They just exacerbate the Pirelli PZero problems. The standard 17/18 wheel size is appropriate for this car, and provides more tire choices. I also currently own a Corvette C8. It feels like a bloated SUV compared to the 4C. Driving the 4C reminds me of a 1985 Porsche 911 I once owned. The 4C is not a luxury sports car. It is a pure drivers car. Alpha Romeo produced the type of sports car that no one thought we would see again. It is a very special car. Do not miss out if you have the opportunity to get one.
