Torque steer anyone?

Personally, I love the look of the new Alfa Mi-To especially in the metallic red they did the 8C in. There aren't really any small cars that I think look all that good (Mini is ok but a bit long in the tooth now deapite VERY subtle facelift)

Anyway, have a look at this little box of lunacy Shocked Laughing

Mi-To GTA
240bhp
Front wheel drive

Anyone remember the 147 GTA? It would go anywhere under full throttle except where you pointed it.

This looks like it would be a hoot if nothing else Laughing Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

The standard car gets a shockingly bad (for a new car!) write-up in last weeks Autocar. Basically they say anybody who buys the Mito over a new Fiesta or a Mini needs their head looking at! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Guys, im sorry but i have to disagree here..

Im not going to bore everyone, but from personal experience the Alfa I had was an absolute screamer, AND handled around a track (in fact 2 seconds quicker than an M3 - see my avatar Thumbs Up ).

Unfortunately, most people who comment about it haven't really driven it Rolling Eyes

ps. not pointing any fingers ST or Jaymann!

I haven't driven one because i would never be considering buying one.

After all it's a Grande Punto under the skin which isn't a good start Confused

Just merely making a point that 240bhp through said Fiat chassis will be 'Lively and entertaining' Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

Fair enough ST, but I was referring to the 147 GTA.. and the comment by JayMann about people buying "these cars" because of the way they look and not the way they drive isn't exactly true.. My thoughts anyway...

In any case, I cant really comment on the Mito as I've never driven it Whistle
