This is one of the most beautiful cars ever made in my opinion.

The important thing to remember about those gearboxes (I had a few with the same unit), they’re designed to be driven in manual mode via the paddles, and you’re meant to simulate feathering the throttle on changes. The auto mode was never really meant to be used

[FinnishCarGuys]

Can't believe how old the design is. That's timeless for you! What a great looking car!

[streetracervti]

brera is "all over the place"??? thats one of the most beautifull things ever designed.

Harry, my name is Jeremy and I live in the United States of America. I would be remiss if I did not reveal the satisfaction of watching your reviews after a day of work. There are, in my humble opinion, a select few automotive journalists who I watch and you happen to be one of them. Great content. Your knowledge is impeccable, and you take the viewer along for the ride. That is an accomplishment most can't bost. Thanks from the U.S.A.

I had the pleasure of modifying the first two 8C to enter the USA, awesome car and the styling is timeless glad someone posted a video showing it is still relevant today.

When I see this car, I always remember Clarksons clip with the 8c and the question: can a car be art?

[quintinkrivacek]

Such a beauty, the car that really made me start itching for Alfa's to make their way back across the pond

[apostolostvable]

Still the most beautiful car I've ever seen. Or at least in the last 25 years. This car will age quite well.

I was driving on the A1 towards the black cat roundabout some years ago when I noticed an Alfa on my rear view mirror which I couldn’t quite place. As it came nearer I suddenly realised it was an 8c!! I’m not ashamed to admit that tears rolled down my face and overwhelming emotions filled my heart at that realisation. That was the closest I’ve come to an automotive spiritual experience.

8C was the most beautiful Alfa for me in the last 30 years, but right after that, the Brera. I also loved the 159, so I think that was a pretty good era of Alfa, nothing to be ashamed of.

I'm still stunned that it's already 12 years old, it seems like yesterday when I've seen this gorgeous car on magazine covers... man, time really flies fast! But the 8C is timeless...

[xavichuvy]

The looks, the sound....still stunning, its design hasn't dated at all. What a dream car.

[Ryan-crxw]

I've got a v6 brera, and have to say I absolutely love it.

[denisspratt]

This car is my absolute dreamcar.
The design and the sound.
It almost doesn't matter how it drives.
I hope to one day afford one.
Lets hope the new 8C will be as beautiful and special, but more affordable.

[lightsaberlordp]

This is one of my best favourite cars I always love the most, not only because it's unmistakably Italian and gorgeous, but it sounds beautiful and artistic and has a light carbon fibre shell!!!

16:26 “Yea, I could live with this...” One of Harry’s best moments.

[quaidmciver]

Harry’s garage is one of the all time greatest car review YouTube vlogs. Thanks Harry you are awesome.

[noonenone]

What an engine exhaust SOUND...!!! It takes whatever the car by storm. God, I was back in heaven for a few minutes... in my 1974 gtv...

[paulp]

Certainly one of the most beautiful looking cars made in recent years. Oh and that sound! My son got to sit in one in Geneva after my wife told the owner how lovely it looked. His face that day will be something I’ll always remember! A magical car!

[Jordan-lucm]

How long I’ve been waiting for a proper review of my childhood dream car! Great stuff Harry 👍🏻👍🏻
