During my trip to Europe, I rented the Alpine A110 for 5 days, and drove it from Germany to Italy, final destination: The Dolomites. The roads there was excellent, and feels like the car was destined to be driven on them.
The Alpine A110 is often overlooked in the sportswear car segment. Why do I say that? Because during my 5 day trip, I did not come across another Alpine on the road. In fact, I was in Europe for a total of 10 days, and I didn't see a single Alpine in the wild.
This review focuses solely on the driving experience of the car, with minimal attention paid to specs and how I think the car looks. If you want to know exactly what this car is to drive, then this video is for you.
