- Do you agree with my favourite 'drivers car'. Just to be clear, there are many cars which are amazing in different ways but the Alpine 110 has the 'fun factor' for sure!

Picking up mine tomorrow, it's the standard A110 but with loads of extras that did bump the price up! Gulp! Won't be able to sleep with all the excitement.
You'll love it Jon
Picked up my S two weeks ago. As the name suggests, it’s the perfect car for those mountain roads here in the southeast of Germany. Pretty addictive!
Lucky you, I wish I could get this car here in California so I could smoke everyone in the mountains/canyons with it! Lighter is always better 😉
How are you finding it? I pick my GT up at the end of the month
@@BasicsCodingg I’m addicted. Did some light track work and also a drift training. Love how the car handles. Did the Großglockner pass last weekend, had so much fun!
I test drove the A110 s ... the next day i ordered an A110 GT in fire orange. 1 year later : bloody fantastic car, fun and impressive handling and steering. Engine has great torque already low end . Great performance . And icing on the cake : fuel consumption almost like a city car if you drive normally thanks to the low weight and 7 auto dct. People constantly stop me asking about the car, it's already an instant classic.
Those volume buttons, I find them awesome and quite natural to use since I first met them around 40 years ago.
About the car, nothing to say, I feel the same about it.
Took my R end of July (my second Alpine after my old A110 Legende). Can’t add much more to the great review but out of my personal experience, this is the best car I’ve ever driven. Period.
Fantastic car and it represents a lot of car for the money. They have great residuals too so I can see why it's one of your favourite cars due to the overall package. I enjoyed driving both the S and the standard A110 on track myselt over the last few years and it offers a rival to the Porsche Cayman which is great as that car kinda has had the mid level sports car market to itself. Healthy competition and another option for people to go for 👍
These terrific reviews of your are creating massive Euro-envy here in Canada. What a terrific review of a great, elegant and exclusive vehicle. Thanks for doing this!
Super review here! It’s a thing, a thing of exquisite beauty imo
Good review overall Tish. I’m not sure if I agree with your comments about the suspension though. I wouldn’t describe it as firm. One of the key selling points about the standard 110 that most reviewers mention is the compliance of the suspension and how well damped it is. It is definitely daily drivable if you can manage with the limited boot space.
Love this car❤. Loved your video with Nobby! Us irish guys are great craic.
You are so right. I'm very impressed by your review. The Alpine A110 is also my favourite car. But most of my of car friends don't really understand why this car.
Hi Tish a great review as ever and I can see why you like the new alpine I’ve always loved the cars they have made so sporty and with that French style so a really great package! Just wish those lotto numbers would come up!
Thanks for watching! Yep I'm with you on that one... I thought the channel would have made me a millionaire by now!
Got one and adore it …
Tish... I thought the title said "The Pest" ... until I saw that it is your favourite car lol.. lovely video .. (Phil) .. xxx
The volume buttons on the column mean that you can still put pressure on the wheel to steer whilst using them. If you have volume etc buttons on the steering wheel you are actually taking thumb & thus hand pressure off of the wheel when using them, as well as having more visible clutter. Love the enthusiasm for the car, great stuff
Looks lovely
Even though the Alpine A110 is not officially available in Romania, there are a few of them appearing on Romanian roads. My follower from Romania told me that he has seen three A110 units registered there.
However, the A110 is officially available in neighbouring Hungary.
Oh I had no idea. Learnt something. Never took it seriously before this vid.
Drove the GT last week...a total blast
Wow, that Ford Focus St Green one was something else!
A fabulous car which draws its inspiration from the original A110 S from the early 70s. Given the modern safety restrictions which restict styling options this is a wonderful car. The interior is a bit bling for my liking but its wonderful overall
Good review, kinda wish I'd got mine in that colour. Have done 10k miles in mine in 9 months, daily is totally possible. As you mention, my RS3 was a blunt instrument in comparison.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. What colour did you go for?
Nice video tish you looking good to not my type of car to be honest im more Rs3 or golf r guy but thats still a nice looking car x
Fair enough! Something that is a better all-rounder?
I don't know that this car is sold in the USA. I thought it is a car produced by Renault? I see you confirm that later in the review! I do agree that it is both beautiful and fast. I love the very French touches. I prefer the car without the rear spoiler.
I do wish it were available her. It'll have stiff competition from the rear-engined legend from Germany -- the 911; or the mid engined Porsche 768. "Fifty grand" is less than I expected!
Nice review!
Awe come on Tish the Volume button and radio buttons that the Renault group do are the best in the business. They have being doing it for years and it's something different from having everything on the steering wheel.
Do you think? I guess when you get used it it you end up hating everything else?
Do owners even listen to the radio ?
A stunning car and I love your dress too Tish and you look stunning in it and it on you. So are you going to get yourself an Alpine A 110? You deserve it.
Thinking of trading in my Alpine A110 for an Ora Funky Cat 😂 seeing someone get as enthused about it as I used to get is making me think again.
Tish, You look good in this video 💗
It's my every day drive!
this color is really cool
It really shimmers!
“ rear engined”…? I thought it is mid engined?!
Nice car and does sound great but surprised it beat the Audi TT from Audi experience day which you fell in love with
That is true.... shame they're stopping building the TT!
Good choice..... especially to think it runs on petrol 👍
"Rear engine mounted"? Good on her though for understanding what a nice car is. That is a very nice looking car.
It’s not in the front so I was half way there 😂😂😂
A car that i have appreciated for years now...i want to own one soon. Can you tell me if the driving feeling is same like a porsche?
I always thought the newish Alpine A110 was mid engined. It certainly looked like it when Harry Metcalfe (Harry’s Garage ) road tested it twice!!
You are right, that’s just me being a bit ditsy. Considering it’s towards the back (behind the driver) I just assumed that was classed as rear
Light weight petrol powered sports car. We need more. Even if it increases weight just add hybrid to it and we get the balance between environment and additional torque. We just need more affordable examples in the coupe sector from say £25k to £30k approx. Wouldn't need crazy power out put and all wheel drive. Just light, small to mid size and stylish
Like it ...
Have you tried a Lotus..?
3:46 Beautiful car, beautiful sound, beautiful weather, beautiful landscape, beautiful lady 😋
You should drive a Proton Satria Neo.
Tish,you make any car look good
she’s not gonna date you 😮
This is my dream car, freaks me out how hard it is to access the engine bay tho just in case it needs repairs
Oh really? Do you think they do that so you take it back to a dealer?
@@AutoSocialUK well, it would be hard to do any diy on it so, yeah, they probably expect you to
@@andrewiwm9980 Opening up the rear window and removing the engine panel takes about one minute.
@@humankapital2000 true, i stand corrected then, I’ve never owned one so I just assumed from the size of the opening it would be nearly impossible to reach anything which honestly freaked me out
? A one minute job with no tools...
I am 6ft 1 and no problem in mine
That’s good to know 😄
@@AutoSocialUK I have had a Cayman and two 911’s and not a patch on the Alpine for driving pleasure - and as a bonus the Alpine averages around 37mpg - try that with a Porsche
Did you look in the glove box?,,,sorry I meant the boot
10:20 it's become a cliché every motor journalist who does a test about a renault group car likes to complain, moan about the volume/skip track stalk lol
Personally I prefer it being a stalk, I can easily skip tracks, change, radio station, volume without looking since it's tactile and ideally located without having to remove my hands from the steering wheel.
Much better than if the controls were on the steering wheel.
It's not for nothing Renault have not changed it in over 30 years, people who actually drive renaults day in,day out actually like it.
Maybe one for the mid life crisis I’ve been putting off 😊
Tish, there's no need to compose yourself when you're driving such a fabulous sounding car...the Alpine's engine seemed to be music to your ears (I totally agree, by the way!). The A110's design looks similar to the Porsche 911 (and related models), but that's not a bad thing at all! Perhaps what's even more striking that the car is you in that dress! (gorgeous!) :)
Looks like your smitten Tish you need to start saving up!.
New job? Lovely colour although it has to be spotlessly clean to work. I really want one of these in GT trim but the fact you can't get a couple of carry on's in it makes it just too impractical for anything other than a razz round the block. It is effectively tethered to your house because of it. Shame.
I have been working with John Banks for since the start of this year. I present videos for them on a channel called 'John Banks reviews.' yes it is tricky if you just want to do simple things like go to the airport you're right. certainly a weekend car at heart!
Viva la France,!!!!!what a noise !what a car!
Sometimes the French just get it right!
Forgot to mention that access to the motor (changing oil etc) is not very practical. There are two luggage compartiments, they allow indeed to take the necessary with you for a weekend, not really to do the shopping for one week for a couple. The design is alright, at least if you don't mind retrostyling. It's indeed not the biggest car, but it is fortunately enough bigger than the original Alpine 110. Hopefully one day the same 10 or so % increase could also be done for a similar retrostyled (Ferrari) Dino 246, who knows. Everyone who made reviews about this car on UA-cam seem to be very positive, except one or two Lotus-lovers, who still prefer their brand. I assume some Porsche lovers too will have reservations. For the moment being, sales don't seem to be massive in the UK, the French however - coccorico - apparantly have been waiting for a long time for the return of this iconic rallyecar....
I had trouble concentrating on the car as your so cute tish with beautiful blue eyes ❤😅
It's interesting how no one on youtube mentions the £585 road tax for these
Anything over £40,000 has high road-tax but you're right - I guess it makes something like a Mazda MX-5 a little more appealing in that sense?
Wow….looks absolutely lovely, elegance and style impeccable….ohh n car not too bad either…🤔 x
Isn't this the car Clarkson couldn't keep straight on track? Hahah something similar anyway and I'm not criticising it just the only other review I have seen
MR cars take skill......
@@KotsarisGR true
Mine’s mid-engined…
OK Tish. What is the least favorite car you have ever driven?
One that never made it on the channel Honda CR-V!
So what. Bmw is a great car. But once you have one, you realise the toyota magic they sprinkle on it. M makes it special
Mid mounted engine
TISH, We should be tongue-tied!😅
Zzz
Supra is a better car... faster and more of a daily driver
In terms of handling i doubt it.
I have driven both and you are right it doesn’t handle as well as the alpine, but not far off . But it makes up for this in other areas. Overall a better car
The Supra with the i6 has a better sounding engine and a much better interior but has a higher price, and much higher running costs as well as a worse handling.
Supra , Bmw car....
What? No cup holder…… deal breaker
You would spoil your drink right over you in a corner..
@@EmilehUnk Actually, there is a cup holder but when you drive one of these... who cares?
I have never used a cup holder in a car, I don't go to McDonalds (if I did I would sit), don't drink coffee in anything else than an expresso cup (starbucks buckets of socks juice are not coffee)
Looks like Porsche in the front and Jaguar in the back. Nice interior and leather stitching, really nice seats,but I still think it's missing a lot. There's so much better cars you can get for the money. I guess you have to have a preference for it if its your favorite. Frankly I'm not impress, I just don't like it.
This is a sports car, if you don't try it, you won't see the point. Also what car are you thinking about ?
Not sure if you’ve driven one by your comment. If not, please do it and tell us your thoughts. I bet you’ll change your mind. You can actually “feel” the lightness when you drive it
Car not enough to distract from that dress , wow
Nice car, nice review. I would pick this over a Porsche, but the fossil fuel era is over.
It means that in addition to get a fantastic car you get a car that will become soon a classic and will keep its value
@@gillesdemerliac2139 which you won't be able to fill up soon. Great investment.
@@EdgarRenjenonsense, Fossil fuel going nowhere
@@MidLoafCrisis Not only that but it might be possible to convert it to hydrogen in the future....which would have many, many pros over EVs (lighter weight, better range & ease of refuel, resale value, no dependance on China & support local jobs instead, enjoyable sound, and not being part of a cultish mindset !)
It's a great car and it's sad that it doesn't have a manual gearbox. The Boxster does.
