Thank you so much for such detailed reviews and making the effort to do them in English. Your occasional linguistic frustrations are charming, so don't feel self-conscious - it adds character, much like an Alfa Romeo :)

You're not 20 anymore? I'm 47 and will never sell my MiTo. I'll enjoy it until it falls apart (It's 6 years old and 170K KM already). There is no car like this at its price range. Fully ballanced on utilitarian/sporty. Easy on the daily basis and the city, practical daily and funny on weekends. Low gas consumption, elegant, beauty, small (can park everywhere), confortable enough (front seats are very good), mildly sportive, powerfull, reliable (no big problems so far), excellent dinamic behaviour, full of electronic driving helps (block differential, and a long etc). I love it.

You're English is fantastic. Your review is excellent. Thanks.

Probably the most comprehensive  review of the MITO ever ..Thoroughly enjoyed it and owning a MITO myself it was accurate apart from 1 or 2 things ..With me being 5 foot 10 inches, I am smaller than you so for me space  is fine lol..The badge is called a Cloverleaf ..I think someone gave it to a racing driver as a sign of good luck and he won..You need to roadtest the 2 cylinder, it is a fun car to drive, yes it isn't as powerful, but it puts a smile on your face ..In the UK they did a QVline model, 2cylinder, 6 speed manual box,   17 inch wheels and the QV interior that you roadtested ..With uk speed limits being 70 mph  112 kph  it is probably more suitable to uk motorways  than the autobahn where certain sections are fast lol .I have also found mainland European journalist more acceptable of alfas fiats etc than uk journalists who constantly run them down...Unreliability being the main issue ...Having owned Italian cars for over 20  years I have never had any issues, and recalls are rare unlike other brands ..Uk journalists criticise the steering and suspension, Europeans like it The interior plastics are cheap and nasty, but tht is the Fiat influence, after all the chassis is the Grande Punto, also used by Chrysler on the Ypsilon and by Opel on the Corsa...The Uconnect I find is thoroughly acceptable, if I want the radio I have it, if I want a CD it still has the function absolutely love it still having the CD function .The only issue I have is after owning a Grande Punto with the blue and me where phone calls where made with the steering wheel controls, the u connect is not as safe as you have to use the touch screen..Though I prefer how Alfa integrate it rather than what looks like an Ipad stuck on the dash ...Maybe that is me showing my age lolI have ever had any issues with the arm rest being noisy, though I do find it does impede the arm rest ..In the uk both front seats get the lumbar support  and height adjustment No doubt I will have more to say when I watch you report again..I agree with 99% of what you say ...I will end by saying the last time I was in Bielefeld (apologise for my spelling ) I got a parking ticket at MacDonalds ...Maybe I should have used that carpark  with the huge pink Parking sign lol

[tounovtwin]

Hi,
Fantastic review. Great insight into the mito..🖒🖒🖒

[JeevesTCW]

Love your enthusiasm for this car, fabulous rare colour also :-)

[vladaddesign]

This car is just...I don't know what to say... Can a city vehicle be better designed than this?...
I'm seriously considering to buy this car, since I'm looking for something to purchase from this January. I have owned four Alfa Romeos in the past and I was never dissapointed. The only thing I don't like is only 3 door version. Everything else is like a dream, a turbo-benzina engine, the sporty interior... those led lights and retro chrome rings.. OMG

[rhinohdh]

Put the dna switch onto all weather, then the speed comes up on the dash, put it in dynamic cycle the display and go get a boost gauge. Also no mention of the auto dimming rear view mirror, auto window wipers and auto headlights, no mention of the hill hold, maybe you didn't notice it if you didn't pull away on a hill.

[davidebonannini]

The 2 cylinders engine you mentioned is the Fiat 0.9L Twin Air 105hp also equipping other Fiats.
The new Alfa lineup dont use Fiat engines anymore.

[StewSims]

Nice review, made me laugh and was certainly thorough! Seems like these will be a good used buy in the 2020s. I like how Alfa clearly haven't bothered much with all the 'cutting edge' nonsense. Maybe a good one for a second car for the parent that still likes a blast in a fun car.

[deeomalley]

Thank you.
Where is the control where to direct internal air?

[DimKAt]

Nice car, terrible gearbox.
Looking forward to seeing more reviews, it's a great channel format keep it up!

Thinking about getting a Mito 0.9 litre engine at 17, insurance is good and I really like the look of the car, plus how unique it is. Any tips or advice for me?
