Alpine A110 2019 in-depth review - better than a Porsche Cayman or Audi TT RS?
Рет қаралды 1,537,346
Күн бұрынThis is the Alpine A110! It’s a new two-seater sports car, and it’s the first Alpine car to be produced since 1995! But a lot can change in 20 years, so does this Renault-owned brand still have what it takes to compete with the likes of the Audi TT RS and the Porsche 718 Cayman? Stick with Mat for his latest review to find out!

This car hit its own briefing perfectly and will be a classic for sure. Anyone who trashes it, just doesn't understand it. True drivers don't prioritise comfort, build materials or gadgets. Nice to see an alternative to the heavy, business class dross Germany churns out.

yeah I don't like anything about it, although I love driving. I'm a fan of hot hatches and stiff cars, but this one looks so uninteresting to me. I'm not really into practical cars, but not having space for even a suitcase just makes it impossible for me take it on a trip with me and enjoy it, doesn't it? Also, don't care about luxury, but everything rattling off inside is a turn off. The styling is so forgettable and unrelatable it makes me not care about it. It screams.. nothingness. It means nothing to me. And all this + renault shutting down renault sport just means they can go f themselves and sell alpines to whoever they want. Just not me.

First time i would talk about a review of carwow not in a good way, let me explain why: First of all it's actually carbon fiber , period. Sure it's not top notch how it fit in the car but it is what it is: carbon fiber, not plastic. Second: the speakers was made specially by Focal for the A110, the sound system was develloped for 5 years, kind of sad to just reduce it by: not much quality. Third and the most important: This car is all about having less weight and still having a good experience (still have a good audio system, still have clim) not so extreme like the mighty 4C. So yes, it have compromise in materials BUT it's clear as daylight that if you want top material+spé on a car , just buy a 100k £ Cayman S with all options. Hope my mess of a message have a little explain why i'm not ok with the review. (if you read all of this, have a nice day)

Actually, people keep forgetting that this is essentially the Renault recipe. Good to very good mechanics and engineering, cheep materials. I also think they are more honest than others on what their car is about. Very little misdirection on what the things in it are and they run pretty much exactly as you'd expect. It turns out, whey you expect less, the satisfaction is way bigger.

@@stephen10. For sure. What I really meant is, cheap materials where they can get away with it. As I said, engineering wise they are pretty good in my book. What I also might add, Renault's cheap plastics are actually very good. They look not so great but they usually are very durable and comfy.

I think one reason for the 'cheap plastics' is that it contributes to the cars very light weight. There will a trade off with a modern car for it to be only 1100kgs.

@@Gungrave123 Competition between the brands to attract clients on they side it's been for ages.. Golden rule is those that sell survive.. Cars are made to move people and some goods from point A to point B.. Look at Saab was one of the most advanced and sophisticated brands on the market, they had so many crazy features on cars before others but they did not sell big volumes, so if they would sell more probably they would not force GM to pull them off.. Meanwhile Dacia is owned by Renault, Renault can not afford to pull out Dacia since is a very successful brand that sell by dozens.. like it or not some people will continue to buy affordable cars and Dacia is the best on this chapter (case closed).

what he forgot to say is that the alpine is as fast from 0 to 60 as the Porsche Cayman GT4 but costs £ 40K less ! and besides, what he thought was plastic is real carbon fiber available in two finishes (matte and gloss) and if the sunvisors do not have covers and the speakers are so "cheap" it is to remove unnecessary weight...

He was wrong about the speakers. They are made by Focal a french loudspeaker company that makes some of the best speakers in the world. I suppose most people wont know that though.

Excellent review once again. A shame Alpine decided to benchmark Porsche on price (as well). The engineering in assembly, the materials specs and the versatility are just not par with Porsche's together with its gearbox and not to mention the brand's history, dealership network and mods parts supply chain. Here we have another brand making the same mistake as Lotus have done for donkey years: trying to be par on price with Porsche without being level on all attributes. Hats off anyway for a very well engineered chassis and an overall lightweight figure. Too expensive in my opinion and too restricted in what a customer can opt for which is another Porsche strong point

An engine start button SHOULD be orange, not red. If a button serves an dual function (in this case start OR stop) it should not be colour coded to either of those functions if it can't be to both. Now, green is generally held to mean go, and red to mean stop. What comes 'in between'? yes, amber ... AKA orange. You're welcome.
