    It's one super fly hot hatch. But how easily can the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde cope with mafia activities? Car Throttle investigates, of course.

    The actual mafia car is the grey Alfa Romeo 75. If you see one following you, then you are probably going to be embedded in a highway pylon

    Curiously I had a mito and a Clio RS 4. Renault is way much faster at straight and cornering but, man, it's an Alfa. I felt in luv of li'l mito even if it lacks a bit of power. It would be perfect if you add 20 or so hp, lower rear end by 1 inch or so and make more rigid the chasis.

      @@Giannakhs1313 the one I had, was the veloce 1.4tjet up to 170 hp. Never ever experienced a problem with the engine. I read somewhere than some guys in UK and Greece tuned it up to 220 or so. Sadly I sold mine like 6 months ago, but definitely I'd buy another one.

    So, yes, a Clio 200 is a better drivers car but the Alfa just looks better, inside and out. Plus it's Turbo'd so although not outright as quick as the Clio, where it counts low down and mid range for every day driving it's got the edge. Ps...you can definitely see why he chose Alex to present after this; sooo much better than the other weirdo co-presenters up til now!

    I think the Mito gets it by just a nose. Maybe I'm biased as I now own one 2010, so much better than the Fiat 500 Abarth 2015 I had, And oddly, much easier to work on. Best car I ever owned a Fiat Uno Turbo... so call me an idiot, at least I'm a happy idiot...
