Alfa Romeo MiTo 135bhp 1.4-litre turbo MultiAir Lusso
What is it?
SUPER-EFFICIENT, warm hatch version of Alfa’s MiTo supermini. Clever 1.4-litre turbo MultiAir engine this time boasts 137PS (rather than the 170bhp of the Cloverleaf hot hatch) and costs from £15,045 in base MultiAir Lusso trim.
What’s hot?
- Still turns heads thanks to its mini-me 8C supercar looks
- Cabin is just as alluring with recessed dials and sports seats
- Smooth and characterful engine provides punchy pace…
- …with 0-62mph in 8.4 seconds and a 129mph top speed
- Cheap to run too, 50.4mpg and 129g/km CO2 emissions
- Agile handling
- Driver adjustable ‘DNA’ switch adds a sense of fun
- Well equipped, even base cars have alloys and air-con
What’s not?
- Frustrating to drive. In Dynamic mode there’s sharp throttle response…
- …but the ride is just awful
- In ‘normal’ the ride is bearable but throttle response disappears
- Steering is quick but numb
- Brakes have a wooden feel
- Low-level cabin materials are poor
