I love the comments here - a lot of arm-chair comments about what it's like to drive the 4C, from people who have never driven one. Motor doesn't have to rev super high to be fun, sounds like a bunch of honda-heads. This one is fun because of the turbo, blow off sounds, overrun sounds, and the big torque curve that makes it much faster than 237hp would lead you to believe. Comparing to a Boxster - the Boxster is about precision and technical perfection. 4C is something different - certainly holds its own on a track, but the experience could not be more different than a Boxster (in a very good way). And what's wrong with using a shared powerplant? You could say a Lotus Evora 410 has the same powerplant as my Toyota Highlander, but it ain't the same!

Enjoy your 4C, I'd love to have one and kudos to Alfa for having the cajones to build it.
