I’ve had many much more expensive sports cars than my 4C Spyder. But my little Alfa is an absolute EVENT every time I take him out and puts the smile on my face that the others couldn’t. ❤
Great to see this video! I own a 4Cand I like very much to see owners of these car enthusiasts of owning them, use them ,love their defects and enjoy! ❤
Having done 100s of km in both, the Alfa beguiled with its Italian looks and instant torque but was skittish and unpredictable due to odd suspension kinematics combined with unpredictable boost. The Lotus is just a pure, sorted sportscar - no buts or exceptions, the car literally disappears around you when you drive it. Sorry Alfa.
Our 4c has had the suspension modifications to help solve some of the issues but it’s still a handful. Can’t imagine what they are like standard! Ed is loving his Exige! You can’t get more of a pure driving experience
Drove both before buying an Alpine A110 which i felt was a better all round car than the Alfa, and the Lotus, the Alfa is stunningly beautiful, having owned a Lotus before, the unreliability and build quality put me off, despite assurances they no longer have quality issues.
Great video gents! Love both of these cars. As coincidence would have it, I also uploaded an Exige S2 video - if you wish to check it out. Anyways, hello from Scotland
Exige or 4C?! Let us know below!
Don't make us choose!
Exige.
do you want a peak sports car driving experience, or do you want an Alfa driving experience? That’s the question being asked.
The sound of that Exige 🥰
I do miss my old one!
Can't wait to compare them on track next!

Sounds like you love the 4C as much as we do!
spot-on!
Thank you, enjoyable video.
I like the front end of the 4C, it's a lovely car, but the Lotus would be my choice.
Thanks for your comment, glad you liked the video!

We couldn’t agree more!!
I’m biased for the 4C but still love the Lotus as owned Lotus in the past also. Great stuff.
Thanks Andy! Can't help your biases 🤣
Great video, new to your channel. I think this was put on my feed as I have literally just finished editing an Exige video myself.
We will make sure to check it out ! It seems like there is a lot of Exige action at the moment!
@@NaturallyAspirated cheers and there certainly is
Lotus for me, as its manual, Toyota power and less money. Good review thanks.
Agreed!!
Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it !
Both awesome cars, i’ll take the Exige! Incredibly reliable and so easy to upgrade
Good to see you have good taste! Considering upgrades at the moment…
Toyota power giving the power and reliability!
@@NaturallyAspirated heck yes, my turbo Elise has been booster for over 10 years, 370whp on e85!
@@edduerden9257 absolutely, love my turbo Elise
@@Drifty325i Damn! Thats a madness!

@ Ours had all the suspension mods too. Some improvement but replaced with Exige that’s just a class act. Never looked back.
Did you replace with an s2 or s3 out of interest? I think an s3 might tempt me out of the 4c!
@@NaturallyAspirated Replaced with late S2 240 S. Sadly we didn’t get the S3 this far south in Africa ;)
@@nadavravid1242 did you do any modifications to your Exige?
That exige under load sounds goooooood
2 Fantastic CARS 🥇
TK🇳🇴
We love them! Glad you do too!
You guys should try the Alpine A110 R. Of the sports cars you have tested, read, there is no better car.
Would love to! If you know where we can get our hands on one let us know 👀 😂
@@NaturallyAspiratedto test against the 4C that is!
@@arjanvandenbrand2070 absolutely! we still want to get our hands on one!
Bringing a cayman into the discussion near the end was interesting. Would like to know how an A110 compares to these
Take all 4 to the track please! 🙏
We would love to get our hands on all 4 at the same time!
I’m currently in the market for a “toy”. Torn between the V6 Exige and a 4C as they’re about the same money. Any thoughts?
Very different cars ! Would say the Exige is more extreme and the 4C more characterful, Italian and also cheaper to run!
Exige surely...
Exige S3 is streets ahead of 4C in performance terms; it’s a raw beast & is far more super car in performance. 4C is more A110 than Exige.
The Guy getting in the Yaris was actually me getting in my VX220........
You should see him get in the 4C and the Exige... Like folding MDF
@@NaturallyAspirated 🤣
i admire the 4c for its looks, but when its about driving it has to be the exige.. if i want a sporty daily i would go for an a110
We REALLY want to get our hands on an A110! Would love to compare!

Ooo! Would love to experience an A110 alongside these two as well to see how they line up!

Will make sure to check it out! Seems like it is Exige season! haha
