How do you feel about the Sprite Alpine 4? We’re looking back at this classic vehicle as part of our latest instalment in the Classic Gold series.
Peter Holden reviewed the Alpine 4 back in March 2014 and, we have to say, it didn’t blow his socks off, unfortunately.
He gave the vehicle a slightly lacklustre three out of five stars at the time, highlighting several issues that made it a less than perfect choice for many enthusiasts.
Indeed, Peter had a long list of bugbears, including: “Seating foam soon flattens down. Heating system useless – either too hot or too cold. Radio in an awkward position and overly complicated.”
He was also not impressed by the cramped interior, stating that the model he saw was “excellent for one person”, but he’d “hate to try four people”.
That said, one positive was the low initial price of purchase for the caravan, which he described as being “value for money”. Overall though, he wasn’t impressed.
Let us know about your experience of the Sprite Alpine 4 and if you think we got it right in our initial review. There’s also plenty more to come in terms of Classic Gold content, so give us your thoughts on the models you’d like to see in future editions.
