Overview

The 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact coupe class. With a single trim on offer, the Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe has a base MSRP of $55,900, competing directly with the BMW 2 Series 230i Coupe. Some indirect rivals from the compact coupe segment include the Audi TT and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe. Only a 1.7L Turbo Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Together, they produce 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, the 4C Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 28 MPG. Alfa Romeo offers the 4C Coupe in 7 stunning colors, with the Giallo Prototipo being a particular favorite of ours. 

Buying Advice

The Coupe Convenience Group stands out among optional packages. It costs $1,400 but adds some crucial features such as a rear parking assist system, cruise control, and a security alarm. We also suggest getting the bi-Xenon headlights and the Alpine premium audio system with a subwoofer.
