    One of the best handling cars ever made, and the fact its got a relatively quiet cabin, cruise control and a decent Focal speaker system makes these cars (in my opinion) underrated. I understand people who dont like the engine and the artificial pops and bangs but none of that is the point of the car, its all about the chassi and lightness. I have a regular A110 and im thrilled every time i get in it. And another bonus is that 80% of poeple look at it when you drive around since they are so rare in Sweden.

    Was in France in 1973 and saw my first Renault Alpine A110 and fell in love.of course it was also done in Alpines blue.
    Thanks for the rare memory.

    Don't quite understand your "but.." comments, and saying "£100k is a lot of money". What you obviously mean to say is "its a lot of money for a Renault when you could have a Porsche" etc. So I don't think you are being sufficient in your objectivity with this car. With EVO Magazine recently putting it a very close 2nd to the GT3RS which is twice as expensive should tell you where I'm coming from. I think Renault deserve more respect than they are generally given, especially when you think of their F1 heritage and complete dominance for many years when it comes to handling with their hot hatches

    I am currently searching for the right lightly used A110 for me. Test drove the GT and absolutely adored it to bits. I mean, it was the comfortable version and totally chill to live with in city traffic and yet it turns into an absolute hooligan the moment you press that red button on the steering wheel. Perfect everyday sportscar in my opinion.

    It is a brilliant sports car so fun to drive, glad you reviewed. Most people say the a110 ‘pure’ model is the one to get and differently cheaper. I brought one and can’t complain. It is so rare people stop you and ask what it is, it also so small and isn’t recognised as a sport car until it effortlessly zips past other fast cars. It makes it easier to drive in public because it under stating its sport car credentials. I plan to hold onto mine for a very long time.
