YouTube uploader Marchettino recently posted a video showing the sexy rear end of an Alfa Romeo 4C , accompanied by the raspy note of its four-cylinder power plant that you either like or you don’t.
It’s definitely not one of the car’s strong points, that’s for sure, but then again, it’s hard to make a four-pot sound good these days, so I was kind of expecting it to be better…
It’s not the worst four-cylinder I’ve heard, but for some reason it doesn’t excite enough, at least not according to those who have had the chance to drive one . Alfa Romeo has made some great sounding V6 engines over the years, and one of those in naturally-aspirated form would have complimented the typically Italian styling well.
So, what do you think: is the sound made by the 4C bad enough to make it a deal breaker, given its price tag and prospective rivals ? The comments section lies below.
