Alpine A110 review

Don’t be fooled by the A110’s diminutive dimensions; even those well over six feet tall will be able to get comfortable and won’t feel hemmed in, because the seat is mounted low with humps in the roof to aid head room. The front seats slide back a long way, too.

Although there are no door bins or glovebox, there is a large tray between the seats that can easily hold a large smartphone, a wallet and a few other odds and sods. It’s here that you’ll also find USB sockets for charging and connecting your devices. Below the heater controls is a slot that’s the perfect size and shape for the car’s key card, plus you get a solitary cupholder. There’s even room to fit a few bits behind the seats, assuming the occupants aren’t too lanky.

Being mid-engined, the A110 has not one but two boots, which are technically a similar size. Don’t expect a huge amount of capacity, though; the front boot is very shallow and can only take one carry-on suitcase. The rear one is hampered by a tiny opening but is big enough for a squishy overnight bag, if you don’t mind squeezing it in. You’ll need to leave your golf clubs at home, though – or make your passenger walk.
