Video Summary
The Alpine A290 has great looks and very playful handling.It has up to 220 hp and a sharp suspension.
The car is dance-like through corners with the ESP turned off.
It has a tendency to understeer, which is amplified because it had winter tires on during the test.
The damping on the rear side feels a bit soft.
Its steering feels good and feels like the front wheels pull a bit.
With the short wheel base you get an incredibly enjoyable ride.
Renault and Alpine have really done well with this platform.
The Renault 5 is nice, but the Alpine is just on another level.
