I saw my first Alfa 4C in the wild today.

Blurry picture is blurry. But I had to snap it.

I know there are better cars in the same price range.

I know I’d never buy one over say, a Cayman.

But God damn that is one sexy little car.

I used to say buy a cayman over a 4c.. but now, after seeing a few and sitting in one.. there’s something magical about them.

I’ll agree with that. I had one priced up but I just couldn’t pull the trigger on it. I’m so conflicted between it and the Cayman. These first world problems are so hard.

Only car? Cayman. Second car? Alfa

I would totally buy one over a Cayman. The 4C is a carbon-fibre limited production glorious return of Alfa Romeo, where it was the absolute best car they could make within the budget constraints. The Cayman is the best car Porsche could make, while still being not quite as good as the 911.

However, I don’t have the money, and if I were to have the money someday, I’d probably be old and I suspect I’d value things like ‘comfort’ more due to aching joints.

But, check out the resale of Lotus Elises (most similar car). They do not depreciate after the initial hit. I think the Alfa will be the same. Chassis damage wise they’re similar too. The bonded aluminium Lotus chassis can take 1 hit before being a write off, the carbon fibre Alfa will be the similar.
