you can call yourself a real petrol head now you've owned and Alfa

I hate this saying its total BS, tbh i'd say you can't call yourself a petrolhead until you've driven or owned an 80's hot hatch.

It will breakdown less than the alfa but be more fun to drive whilst costing less.

Drivethedeal are offering a big fat £0 discount on these, much like the Fiat 500's. So maybe scrappage was the best option

The MiTo looks better than anything else in its class and that counts for a lot. I say enjoy it.

Yay, I'm a petrol head, I had an Uno Turbo MK1 and RS Turbo MK2...

I like it.
Not sure I agree with the current prices though... Used Brera/GT all the way.

Why do you not like the cheese model or something?!?

Nice little car but I think if I was going for a brand new, fun little car I'd go for a Fiesta or a Clio. The Mito is a bit 'different' though and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Are Alfas of the last 5-8 years really really that bad? I'd thought they'd improved immeasurably.

I think it mings im afraid and I normally like Alfas.

My comment was supposed to be tongue in cheek.

I do totally agree with your comment about 80's hot hatches though

Biohazard · 15 Jun 2009 at 15:22

^ your a poof if you haven't had an 80's hatch!

Truly rapid?

Really?

I had an uno turbo too!

I really like the MiTo - I'd have gone for the slightly pokier one, but can't fault it - but I'm biased

Tell that to Jeremy Clarkson then!

I quite like this car too, though not enough for me to want one.

atpbx · 15 Jun 2009 at 15:54

I think they are a fun looking car.

Stupidly overpriced though.

I would but they won't give me tickets to the show

Well, I'll count myself in the petrolhead club then for the Mk1 Golf GTI.

Not sure if I'd agree with the breaking down less bit though.
