FK8 General FK8 (10th Gen) CTR Release chat

[XK140]

Those Alfas are great little cars,in a hard core two seater sports car way.
However £20 k more than an FK8 and not really an option for those who need 4 seats,hatchback etc.
Enjoy the car and don't sell it too quickly!

It'll only be fun when it's not siting broken at the dealer's........

An Elise or Exige is a way better car than the 4c in every way, one of the most disappointing cars in the last 5 years imho.

 

[FaNtheMaN]

I was gonna say the same! Not read a decent review of 4c, but each to their own...

Wonder what exhaust he has, didn't know any had been released yet, just lots of prototypes.

I am itching to drive an fk2 now though, see what the fuss is about...!

Harder,Noisier,feels faster (but isn't),better handling on smooth roads,not so good on bumpy ones.

Just guessing...am I right?

Second car rejected by my friend..

FFS. Tell them not to touch it. Just bubble wrap everything and ship it to the detailer.

I'd sooner set the dealership on fire before taking delivery of a brand new car in that condition. Hell, my Mum's brand new Hyundai i20 was delivered spotless, so it isn't exactly impossible.

That's bad. My missus' 3 year old Tourer looks better than that when we got it from Honda.

 

[WelshyWelsh]

Picked up mine today. No issues like above thankfully!

How come there's so many issues with the fk8

Usually best testers are first owners. Fix under warranty then pass down production line.

a few days later than I wanted but picked mine up this morning

Looks great, a bit weird to drive as I've been used to my van for the last 5 months but I'll get used to it.

Only 20 miles in so far but no issues as of yet, just got to work out that damn handbrake and a few other bits.

Don't like the fact I have to turn off the auto cut out every time I start the car but there we go.

Will give a proper bit of feedback once I have some miles on it

What's the Auto Cut Out? I've started mine hundreds of times and I'm not sure what you're referring to!

 

[FaNtheMaN]

Congrats, looks lovely!!!

Handbrake is a faff - id like to say you get used to it, but a month and a bit in...I am not!!!

As for Autostop/start, Just stick it in R mode, you wont have to keep turning it off then
