CAR magazine UK's Alpine A110 long-term test: we live with a base-spec A110 sports car to reveal what it's really like as a Porsche 718 Cayman alternative
► A base-spec model with a few choice optionsand this car still feels joyously peculiar and unlikely. As the rest of the automotive herd migrates towards battery-driven SUVs, the reborn Alpine brand swerved left in 2017, with a compact, aluminium, two-seater sports coupe, with rear-wheel drive and a mid-mounted engine.Well – for a while, anyway.
Climb in and the interior is also pocket-sized. It’s perfectly comfortable, with the one-piece sports seats and small, thick-rimmed steering wheel, but look around and you realise there are no door pockets and the only cupholder is so far behind your left elbow you almost have to undo your seatbelt to use it.
Our car also has some options fitted – among them the upgraded Focal audio system, which is certainly worth the £555 asking price, as are the parking camera and sensor ; however, I’m not sure there’s much value in the optional £470 ‘Storage’ pack that gives you a small box-with-a-lid mounted on the bulkhead behind your shoulders, or the blue logo in the steering wheel centre – an £85 option.
