Mito QV / Cloverleaf

It does all the things i expect without being a four wheeled kitchen appliance

Alfa Mito QV / Cloverleaf Mulitair

Reliability: 15'000 kms are done. Its still as solid as when i got it. Nothing's loose, no squeaking or noises whatsoever. The interior looks so much nicer than everything else in its class. No warning light has ever come on. It consumes no oil, starts flawlessly at -10°C, it's very ... VWish (there was a time, when VW were considered reliable).

FUN: Yes, big letters, because of the big FUN. The adaptive suspension is nearly perfectly balanced. N mode for commuting, D mode for polluting. The steering is alright in N and very ok in D. The engine sounds so sweet, that i wonder, why people put silly monster mufflers on their Mitos. In low revs it grumbles, at high revs it hammers. At idle it sounds like a sportboat and on override you hear it rumble through the exhaust. It has an old school turbo character to it. They dont make em like they used to, but Alfa does. Under 2k revs nothing happens. Then it shreds your front tires. Lift the throttle at full boost and you hear the turbo hissing through the blow off valve. Coolest 4 pot engine in this segment, period.

Equipment: Mine is absolutely fully loaded. Creature comforts are excellent as well as the bose sound system. However the car itself is a tad loud on the motorways. Everything works as it should! But the switches for the seat heater are very unconveniently placed. Why didn't they put them ... uhm... under the bonnet? You would be less prone to crash into oncoming traffic.

It's expensive, but truly great. You get good looks, lots of tech and of course being an Alfa, lots of character (thats why they dont make em perfect).
