Literally just put a deposit down on a new A110 pure 3 hours ago! Rarer than a Porsche Cayman, less hassle than a Lotus. And prettier than both! Liked and subbed!

Yep, two years in and still loving it. Every journey is special, every journey brings a smile. Love this thing.

Had my A110S since new last Sept, tweaked a little with an engine and transmission remap, Life110 air filter Life110 AST coilovers, Life110 geometry, titanium tie-rod ends, Life110 gearshift paddles, titanium wheel bolts, EVO Corse Cup wheels. Lotus owners "get" it, Porsche owners are just baffled that I did not choose a Porsche. Not regretted buying it and will be a very long term keeper, a brilliant car for the Welsh roads where I do a lot of my driving. The changes I have made are very much to personal taste, although the Life110 geo, gearshift paddles and air filter are fantastic changes that all A110 owners should invest in Love the Alpine heritage and the fact its not the default Lotus / Porsche choice. Two little errors - the rear screen lifts up after undoing some knurled screws in the boot area and the engine cover then lifts out after undoing the quick release clips. The GT also has the same 300hp engine as the S and R, only the base A110 has the 252hp unit

Have owned a A 110GT bought new 18 months ago . Been driving for 50 years and best driving car I have owned and have had many. Epic on B-roads but solid and comfortable on motorways. Great tribe of likeminded owners who understand how special the Alpine is, the low weight , supple ride and sufficient power to use on UK roads with no loss of fun being an Auto.box .Not forgetting the excellent mpg. If you get one , prepare to spend many hours explaining what it is and how it’s not a Sunbeam or BMW ! A definite keeper. Clearly you get it .

I have recently purchased a new A110 in iconic Alpine Blue. I'd wanted one for years & I have no regrets. I've a long history with RenaultSport cars, I've also owned a Porsche Cayman & the Alpine ticks all the boxes for me..! 💙

Owner of a a110 GT since 2 years : a dream to drive, such pleasure light weight handling and the engine that kicks in low rpm is just lovely. Astonishing performance being only 1090 kg light , on mountain roads even much more powerful cars can barely keep up. People treat it like a supercar and are mesmerized by it looks ( mine is also orange fire )

Thanks for the review and such a comprehensive video. Had my A110S a year now and enjoyed it immensely. A capable and fun car. 🤩

I am mid 50, and Swabian. Saving money is innate like with the Scots. 😎 After testdriving a 110S last spring, I switched to a GT. As German B and C roads are bumpy and getting worse. Steering in air is a challenge... Yes. Bought it. Compared e.g. to 11 years Elise S1 you do not mess around with high sills, rattling, etc. It is a mature car. So far no quality issues. Useful and fun? Yes! My wife and I travelled for a 5 days South-Tirol- holiday with hiking boots, backpack, etc. There is enough space for luggage. Ok - maybe put the jackets behind the seat. Enjoy travelling and alpine passes and leave the seat with a big smile. The ratio of low fuel consumption (weight) to fun is amazing. Best car I did own so far. I have to think about a severe investment: an Alpine cap like yours.... BR FROM A SWABIAN😎

You, Sir, are an absolute delight to listen to, thank you for posting this! I'm dreaming of sometime in the next couple of years Alpines becoming available here in the U.S. :-)

Ive had my A110S for circa two and half months, it was dealer stock so came with the CUP2s option, uprated focal stereo and the Alcantara dash / steering wheel etc. It was in the traditional Alpine Blue colour. The bucket seats are suprisingly comfortable, the cornering ability (certainly in the dry) is like glue, you can do serious miles and feel relaxed then enjoy a challenging B road and I do like the noise of the little 4 pot. Looks are incredibly subjective, I like it and it does draw some serious attention which can be fun at times. Weaknesses, door plastics are on the cheap side, dealers are a real 'hit and miss' with some on point and others just terrible which grates when paying Porsche prices, cooling fans love to hum away for a good while after engine switch off (not a real issue) and the black surrounds of the wing mirrors really are cheap and nasty looking. Overall I love it! You asked what drew me to it, I had a new G series M2 on deposit and ready to collect when I saw an A110 advert and as the nearest dealer was only 40 mins away I went for a test drive (a few hours unaccompanied) and the M2 order was cancelled!

Liking your reviews. Very natural and comprehensive. Love the car and the community within the owners.

Beauty of a car. Classic, elegant beautiful lines, light weight amazing sport chassis. Purest sports car money can buy.

Terrific review, and I couldn’t agree more with your comments and sentiments about the car. I bought my A110 in April, a base model and I’m absolutely delighted with it. I love the fact it’s a mid-engined all aluminium sports car. I love the fact it has just enough of everything and not too much of anything. I love the steering, it’s fabulous and the seat comfort. I love the handling balance, the ride comfort and the performance. And I love how it looks. I’ve driven many cars over the years but it drives better than anything I can think of. Why not a Cayman? Because I love the exclusivity of the Alpine, only real enthusiasts know what it is. Just so you know, you can open the rear window! There are 3 knurled bolts under the forward edge of the boot, undo them and the rear window can be lifted. It’s held open with a little prop. And a final fact. Why are there 2 gas struts on the front boot lid when a prop would have been lighter? Because the engineers were worried the lid would distort when propped and if they’d re-engineered it with more strength, that would have weighed more than the 2 gas struts! Subscribed!

I have an a110, you get it, nice work!

Excellent review said with passion. Subscribed

Great review, really enjoyed it… subscribed👍

I had an 'S' and sold it... to buy an 'R'. On my second Alpine A110. I dare you to actually drive one and then criticise it.

I share your enthusiasm completely! I have the GT as my daily drive, and it's a dream. And it's exclusive too (not a Porsche!)

Superb review of the only car I really really want! Still saving. Have subscribed as I have already done on your EV channel. Keep up the great work 🙌

I sold my Porsche 993 and 968 to buy a second hand Premiere Edition and an Alfa Giulia Estrema. Without doubt the best car I have ever owned. I fell in love with the original A110 when I first saw one and lusted after one from that day. When the new A110 was released and I saw the reviews my mind was made up. I’ll be keeping this car until I can no longer drive. Great review but you omitted to mention the MPG of around 40 which is phenomenal for a sports car. Also there is a downside you didn’t mention, the car is so light that it does not like strong crosswinds at motorway speeds, the lightness means it wants to wander!

A lot of love

Magnifique the review!

I concur it’s a good value proposition to the 718 flat four, the flat six 4.0 German beef is a different breed.

First of all congratulations for the channel. Beautiful and full of content. I am writing to you from Italy. What can I say about the A110, you really said it all. Exceptional car exactly for the characteristics you described. And even comparing it to supercars with more horsepower was a stroke of genius and not as crazy as it might seem. By quoting Murray you hit the nail on the head. If he says so, who bought it and made it the benchmark to develop his new $2.6 million T.50 supercar, who are we? I have been the owner of an orange sanguine A110 S since 2021 but last November I purchased the A110 R which I am waiting for (we are almost there I think). I wanted to take this step for an infinite series of reasons. I got it in a unique variant, with Pikes Peak livery. I wanted the R because it is not just a harmless letter of the alphabet, but the goal of technological and aerodynamic extremes. Because it exudes the essence of car racing and track competitions. It represents the pinnacle of performance and sporting aggression. Because at the basis of the R, there is a studied aerodynamics, based on a perfect balance: on the one hand, the increase in aerodynamic efficiency, on the other, the minimization of air resistance. Regards and see you soon👈

Subscribed and loved the video

A110GT Best car I have owned - includes 3 Porsche 911, Cayman etc - not a priority for a car like this but economy is far better than a Porsche - 35mpg local - high ‘40’s on the motorway - gets so much (positive) feedback and attention - just try one !

And here I thought, I was in love with this thing. ^^ Currently in the process of buying a Pure, I am so jealous of you brits for your car prices. Here in Germany, a S with any serious spec is 75k+€ and used prices are much higher than on the island as well. My only criticism after test driving a GT were that the comfort seats were not for me, lack of cupholder and the cheap feeling light and audio controls.

Were did the 10k in options on your test car come from, aro kit and paint aside?

In France, a new 2024 718 Cayman/Boxster has a E 60'000.00 malus on top of the price ... the A110 s 'only' E 2726.00 ... also definitely prefer double wish bone suspension in the A110 even if front boot space is compromised. But the A110 would be a sunny day/weekend car for me, so would prefer a 2 litre Caterham and keep my 1.5 3 cylinder race red Fiesta ST for every day fun, come rain, shine or snow 😊 Appreciated your review ! Thanks and greetings from Thoiry 01 / Geneva

Bring it to NA market Alpine! Bring it!

Unfortunately not available in Australia. I had a Fiat X-1/9 4 speed in Europe (70s and then a 5 Speed in Australia., 80s) Once you have driven a light mid engine car, there’s no going back. Wonderful memories.

Wish they were available in USA!

Great review! Do you think you could make the a110s your daily car ?

Go and see David at Life 110. He will make it even better. Trust me.

Hello, here is one more subscriber in order to help you buying an Alpine. 😉

Came for the thumbnail, stayed for his accent.

I don't think I have ever seen one here in New Zealand?

Bought my GT for its looks, heritage (I’ve owned a couple of Alpines in my youth) and driving capabilities. I own other cars (often more expensive) but I can safely say that this one is the car getting the most sympathy from the public and by far. It has a few niggles but overall it is a great package. Dealers can be a hit or miss. Some can be terrible and some are better. None great in my opinion and that’s a shame.

Just here to spread jealousy driven hate since the U.S. still can’t buy these…

That's a tricky one. How to help english native spreakers to say the name of the creator of this brand the right way? Let's try it. You did not say Rédélé, you said Redelle. So you should try Ré - Dé - Lé, with "é" being pronouved like the "i" from "it" or "stick".

Just get a racing car then durrr!🥴

you talk a lot but dont say too much.

it cannot be accomplished when it is an automatic; not a real driver's car because of this singular issue, unfortunately.

For fuck sake, move from handicap parking space!!! Even worse you are blocking two.
