Confusion about A110 models...

[LarJammer]

Can anyone explain the difference between models? As I understand it, the launch cars (pure,?) Has less power and soft suspension. The S has more power but a stiffer set up? The legende used to have less power but now has more and what about the atelier cars?
As a potential buyer I am confused, ideally I'd like comfy seats, soft suspension, more power and a cool colour - does such a thing exist?

I think you should look at the GT, go onto the Alpine website and configure your GT from thrtr.

If you are looking to buy new then as timhum said the current GT model added with atelier colour would meet your criteria.

If you are looking for a used A110 then there are more model variants on the market and it is slightly more complicated. I've tried to explain something about the different new A110 model variants over the years in here:

Hi Pertti I like the way your website is presented, do you write it yourself or use a programme? As I want to do something similar for my hobbies. The info on the different model years etc is useful as in years to come this will become harder and harder to find out!

Thanks Portti - thats exactly what I was looking for!

Try to drive the two options, I wouldn't get hung up on the extra power, there is no 'downside' BUT the difference was nowhere near as prominent as I thought it would be when I tested back to back.

I'd second that. Try both "comfort" and bucket seats too - if they fit you and you don't need the adjustment then the buckets may well prove the more comfortable option. They certainly are softer on your derriere.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the off-topic to others. This message doesn't contain any A110 related information.

I first setup my personal website in 1998 and over the years I've just added content there using basically the same structure as in the beginning. I used various free WYSIWYG HTML editors over the years which didn't require much HTML knowledge.

However last year when I was planning to create Alpine A110 section to my website I decided that it might be a good time to refresh the way my website looks like and more importantly to try to make it mobile compatible. When the website was first created nobody had heard of browsing the web with mobile phones and therefore the old version of my site didn't work with smaller screen sizes at all.

With that task in mind I soon realized that I couldn't create a nice looking responsive website using basic WYSIWYG HTML editors and I had to start to learn a little bit of HTML coding. I also learned about this thing called CSS which is required to make the website look nice.

So, I studied a little bit of HTML and CSS coding with the help of various tutorials and guides on the net and have basically written the code myself for the new version of my website. I use a free software called Visual Studio Code for this.

Most parts of the code I've just written based on what I've learned but some more complicated parts like top and side navigation panes on the pages have required more work. For those I've tried to find tutorials and guides for similar functionalities and tried to understand what does what and modify the code to suit my tastes.

Some functionalities on my website also require a little bit of JavaScript which is something I don't understand at all. For those parts I've just googled for relevant tutorials which have had example JavaScript code and utilized those with a little bit of modification.

A bit long winded post but hopefully this answers your question at least a little bit.
