Alfa Romeo 4C

[shakalaka]

What's the word on these? I am contemplating getting into one and comparing to the likes of Supra etc., but I am highly concerned about not being able to fit into one considering that they seem quite small. Lack of power steering seems to be another issue but it won't be a daily so not a main concern. I've only ever seen one in real life and that was a while ago and really liked the looks of it.

I'm sure there is a long answer, but the short answer is they are bad.

Small. Uncomfortable. Expensive. Not really that fast.

Aside from that I think they are awesome, think I read something about the carbon tub cracking which makes them difficult to buy used.

[benyl]

sounds like a great buy.

[Buster]

they also have a shitty old suspension setup

[shakalaka]

The general reviews online are actually quite positive and in fact our favourite Doug DeMuro calls it a 'baby supercar'. lol

Everything I've heard about them has been pretty positive and they aren't that expensive (mid $70s). They are supposed to be great on track according to the rennlist track forum. https://rennlist.com/forums/racing-a...-question.html

Good price, sexy, good performance, rare ...

It isn't that small inside, say you are average 6' and 170lb, plenty of room, as long as you are under 6'3, not fat, under 200 lb, will be fine.

Very good price when they were launched... not sure now

[shakalaka]

I am 6.1 and 220lbs of pure muscle (in my head - in reality at least 30% body fat). lol

[ThePenIsMightier]

So how did that gangly fuck, Doug Demura fit in there?! He looks like he's 6'-5" of awkward twat.

this car will look tight on you

[ExtraSlow]

You should be able to live with it for 8-12 weeks.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I’m 6’2” and didn’t have a hope in hell fitting in one, even with the seat bolted in the lowest of three settings.

[max_boost]

those cars are for small ppl like me

[shakalaka]

Fuck hey...I really like the looks of it and it's cheap AF at mid 70's for what it is but yea the size is definitely an issue.

[Buster]

It's cheap because it's not very good. Shit interior. A suspension setup that has no business being on a sports car and shit steering. And a little fiat four banger.

[killramos]

I mean I know every car on the planet is worth meth money these days.

But 70k for a used old 4C doesn’t feel “cheap” to me

[shakalaka]

I guess relatively speaking.

The thing that appeals to me the most about it is how rare it is. I love shit that's not common. So to find something that uncommon at that price point seems 'cheap' to me as normally it's the multi-6 figure cars that are rare.

Plymouth Prowlers are rare too. Doesn’t mean they are good.
