Throttle House gives the 2026 Alpine A110 a decisively positive review (69/100), praising its exceptional performance and driving dynamics—the turbocharged 1.8L engine delivers 250 hp with a 4.5-second 0-60 and one of the best-sounding four-cylinder engines he's driven, while the electric power steering offers excellent road texture and the light weight rivals an MX-5 for engaging handling. The design is attractive with a lovely Blue Abyss paint, and at £55,000 it undercuts rivals like the BMW M2 and Lotus Emira, though the rally lights look "insecty and buggy" rather than integrated. The significant caveat is the cabin technology, which scores just 38/100—the infotainment system is "unusable and horrible" with poor CarPlay performance, and interior refinement doesn't match premium competitors. The A110 is built for drivers who prioritize road feel and dynamic performance over tech features and luxury appointments, making it ideal for enthusiasts seeking an affordable, lightweight sports car that fills a gap North America is missing.
