Alfa Romeo 4C Spider
Discussion
300 miles and enjoying every single yard in it so far. The experience is hard to explain but pure and raw are probably the best two for words for now.
Lucky with the weather so far as I haven’t actually driven it in with the roof on!
Bias as I may be, in pretty sure it’s one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen let alone driven and judging by the reaction when I’m out and about I think the feeling is mutual.
Here is Roary (as named by my 7 year old son) with the Giulia Speciale.

Love that 4C. One to keep for the long term.
I'd take to to boys up in Royston (Alfa Workshop) for their chassis tweaks (geo & modified rear wishbones). Makes a huge improvement apparently.
There was certainly an issue on coupe models however the spider especially on the 17” and 18” wheel combo feels pretty well grounded to me. Sure, it tracks the cambers a bit on our st roads but crucially instils confidence when pushing on.

I don’t have to, but if I did then yes I think you could. The main issue would be general visibility and being seen in the rain I think. You are soooo low that even coming up alongside a Ford Focus feels like an SUV.
That aside it’s no different than driving the original Mini which is the closest car I can think of in terms of its feel when driving sedately. Odd comparison I know....

That’s good to know especially as I’ve heard mixed thingsThat aside it’s no different than driving the original Mini which is the closest car I can think of in terms of its feel when driving sedately. Odd comparison I know....
Anything in the reviews you disagree with?
