Fifth Gear Web TV - Alfa Romeo MiTo Cloverleaf

[@kristenburnout1]

If you hate Alfas that much, why do you watch theese videos? The MiTo is perhaps not the prettiest car Alfa has ever made, but it is at least much more interesting to look at than anything that VW or Toyota makes. Please have respect for people who buys the car they really yearn for instead of buying a car to blend in.

[@reneroo9290]

It’s me 🤣🙋🏻‍♀️ I love my Alfie she’s a real head turner

[@etr300302]

Since the very first moment when I was sitting in the Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 of my father, I knew and understood that no other car than Alfa could exist for me. After, during the life and for job I was driving the so called better German and French cars, but no one of them could give me the same emotions and sensations than an Alfa. I understand, if you have not the feeling, the respect, the passion, the heart, please, avoid to drive an Alfa. But, let the other free to drive a legend .

[@Frank-pc2rs]

I've never heard anybody say French cars were better lol.

[@bozuzu1991]

Alfas doesn't run? Have you ever tried the 8c? However I personally own a Mito multiair 1.4 135hp, bought to replace an audi A3 2.0 TDI. The audi was a beautifull car, and i wasn't so sure to sell it to buy an Alfa Romeo. Well, after 5 minutes on the Mito i completely forgot the audi! forza alfa romeo e viva la passione italiana per i motori!

[@SavioureG]

If you wanted to replace an A3, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta would have been a more effective choice.

[@DJ_MH_Remixes]

LoL also same here. Going from Mazda3 to MiTo 1.4 155hp. Directly in love.. Im from Europe and over the years i had own 10 cars total.. 8 of them was a Alfa Romeo 🍀🔥😎

[@JWilander]

Finnish winter,cold 28 celsius. My Alfa Romeo Mito multiair turbo 135hv play very fine. Believe Alfa Romeo is trusty selection. My first Alfa but not last. Car is smashing.

[@TheMilanMovies]

I am sooo glad I bought a Alfa Romeo MiTo with 135 HP as my first car. Almost went for a VW Polo but bought this instead, I'm so happy with it. It just has his own feeling to it and I love it! Every time I see it parked I want to drive somewhere 😅

[@celonoobas]

Milan Meiland My gf's first car was the 2009 polo and mine the MiTo. Every morning going to work and looking at the cars i can't be happier for my choice. The Polo hasn't aged well at all while the MiTo... oh well you know the answer.

[@carlojohnson2763]

Omg me too

[@marcelmotorzoneza9626]

I absolutely adore Alfa Romeo's. They have so much soul!

[@dog1ac]

There's definitely something Ferrari-ish with that specific Alfa

[@NeilRoberts2106]

Great little car and drives like a dream.....I know I'm biased as I have one of these hot little cars but I dont care! They say youre not a true petrolhead unless youve owned an Alfa and I've had 4 of them now!!

[@abubakrmala4553]

I had a alfasud sprint cloverleaf flat 4 and 2 twin delorto carbs it was awesome had her for 7 years

[@eldiablo825]

she's not on country roads,she is on mira's alpine course because that is where fifth gear is presented

[@teopapadopulos749]

Some guys say that alfa romeo mito is ugly......GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK, alfa romeo has the only good looking car in this category.The mercedes A160 is like a BIG PILE OF SHIT!The fiat 500 like a toy car.

[@D3leteMe]

Yeah but the Renault is not an Alfa Romeo, it's a sacrilege to compare Renault with Alfa Romeo. I own a Mito Multiair turbo 135bhp, i love it and i am so exited evrey time i drive it, it has character, it has the hairitage of a sport car.

[@reneroo9290]

I have the mito 1.3 diesel super sport , she’s a beaut and is getting plenty of attention 👌 yes Alpha Romeo is notorious but well worth the heartache ❤️

[@nosutv2893]

sstill most intresting small cars in 2019 hehe

[@advosburgh]

@imnotsickimjustaboy im pretty sure it does around 3:11 you can see it go back up.

[@vasts1479]

It's a shame that this model is discontinued.

[@nigelbrookes8534]

Have one for one year now, great fun, no breakdowns, change the oil every 5k miles and enjoy. Only problems are; Passenger air bad deactivates if you stall the car (can be reset in 10 seconds). Hill brake assist malfunctions once every 3 months or so but is fine once the car is restarted the next day. The seat sometimes acts strange when pulled forward and needs to have the lever pulled up again.

[@timsutherland4033]

Dont stall it then .😴

[@rvcasa]

Those types of issues come with age… (on any car) I got my son a Mito QV 🍀and doesn’t have issues

[@thursmornsunlight]

Alfa Romeo, please come back to North America! (Don't just bring the 4C, bring in SuperMini(s)! Tired of German only styles and Korean styled American hatchbacks! We need a little more Italian Design here!

[@8492grob]

AWW yes I am still thinking about getting a new alfa romeo very nice

[@worldhello1234]

@1:29 Yeah but keep in mind to stick to the oil change shedule and use the right oil otherwise it sets you back up to 1,000 quid for a swap of the whole unit. That's true to this particular generation MiTo.

[@breraromeos]

@ChadRobertHill A little bit late. But it is mito designed like this. When you open the door the window goes down and when you close it it goes up. :)

[@suegroom2989]

Had one, did 130,000kms in it - only replaced a battery in 4 years of owning it. Fuel miser ... and in D mode - a quick little car. No busso noises ... but hey.

[@rafaelpiedade5716]

I have one and i love my Alfa❤️🇵🇹

[@johnp1787]

I got one last weekend..and I just absolutely love it!😍

[@Mawerik024]

I'm not gonna address it as a hot hatch. You gotta have at least 30 bhp more to be one. It's just a sporty version which doesn't cost that much and lets you have fun without braking your spine, in all comfort. Can't compare it with a Clio Sport, that's almost a track day car. But please, leave alone that yellow... And inflate the tires before saying the steering is not good.

[@criog.b1344]

Mito the beast 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@WyvernSone]

I can't wait for alfa in the states!

[@mippy95]

when she closes the door the window goes up a little bit at 3:11

[@jamesfullbrook4697]

It’s because the Mito has pillarless windows.

[@oldsoulyoungbody]

@sfsTrader yes, but they get better traction on loose surfaces. Hence why saabs have been fwd, due to the snow in sweden

[@delflore1]

My favourite car.

[@suzanaradovic3004]

I have MiTo ...grey!!!! Extra

[@Dr23rippa]

Do you have a 2016 or 2017 or 2018 review of this?

[@harrymc523]

ive had one of these for over a year and it hasnt missed a beat....so enjoy or boring run of the mill vauxhall while us real enthusiasts drive interesting cars.

[@iMin2gas]

I really like improvement of this Multi air engine. Petrol engine is much more charismatic and better to me.

[@HorusNik]

@ChadRobertHill As there's no frame for the window, if it didn't go down when the door opened it would break when you 'd try to close the door(notice that the window goes up again when she closes the door)

[@jakegargiulo5101]

Quadrifoglio not "cloverleaf"

[@TheCarArchives96]

@teosou1 no the LPG engine is the 1.4 l4 Turbo

[@liamcotrulia]

Hey, when does Fifth Gear return to tv?

[@altern8ive]

47 mpg maybe but you wont be getting that in Dynamic mode thats for certain, i currently own the previous 155 T-Jet and everyday driving average around mid 30's mpg in normal mode. this drops to high 20's in Dynamic and has been as low as 23 on some road trips through wales :)

[@geordiedonutmonster]

@TheLoneJester The mini and Merc CLS both do this as they are frameless doors

[@TheLoneJester]

@pieguy720 It probably did to clear the space where it meets the door. At least it automatically goes back up.

[@GOLANI24]

Vicki rocks!!!

[@Mawerik024]

@imnotsickimjustaboy Every car with pillarless doors do that. Because otherwise A) you'll broken the window every time you'll close the door or B) you will get very wet when it rains

[@RdcsVtec]

did she test the car with those tires almost empty a seen 03:09??? they sure made a difference in the results.

[@GrimRScythe]

oooh! Its the Alpine Racing Course!! Awesome!

[@pesilva93]

One of the best looking cars today except in........... yellow! Why didn't they review a red one instead!? But an Alfa Romeo is always beautiful!

[@advosburgh]

Wait, did the windows roll down when she opened the door?

[@Rangeroversport12]

Gotta love Alfas!

[@SkarnDeBrax]

You're really gentle with this Alfa, I have one, and I'm not so polite about the chassis, supsension and rubish steering feel X-D. But maybe I demanding too much about this car X-D.

[@ChadRobertHill]

Umm why did the window go down a little when she opened the door at the end? :\

[@SteveWellsNZ]

What's the driver visibility like? I love my 147 but the visibility is terrible and my only real complaint about the car.

[@Skidmaster180]

where those "quick" shift's at?

[@Mawerik024]

@DVaderlar NO, QuadrifoGlio with the "g". And 3 people responded, wonder why they did

[@advosburgh]

@TheLoneJester thats really interesting never heard of that happening on car before.

[@GDoodler]

Are you thinking out loud?

[@soundseeker63]

@billoddiea I don't know what alfa's you have owned, but if you're expecting japanese reliability, I think you may be waiting quite a long time. And as for the drive, I can't think of a time when any given Alfa hasn't been totally outclassed by equivalents from BMW. It 's about style as it has always been. And on that front it does well.

[@citi0rhythm]

hm...front tires under inflated??

[@hayksamvelyan]

@citi0rhythm yeah I think so too....I guess the press don't check their test cars

[@alernest]

Would it be too much to ask to BEG YOU TO PLEASE COMMISSION TIFF NEEDELL OR JASON PLATO FOR THESE SORT OF TESTS??? I watch Vicky since 1997, I think she's great, but Tiff and Jason are a tad more experienced and, paradoxically, a bit more sensible judging the cars' limit-behaviour. I believe Vicky also tested a MiTo against a MINI some months ago. That's all, thanks as usual for brilliant reviews by these three guys Vicky, Tiff and Jason.

[@Jason1982TB]

Why the steering wheel always looks very big in her hands?

[@nismo007]

3.11-3.12 the window goes up by itself cool

[@thumbsdownbandit]

Driving with flat front tires and complaining about the handling of the car...

[@DAGATHire]

Just an FYI The D N A switch doesn't effect the suspension as shes says here. And it doesn't effect the exhaust note as she says here In Dynamic mode, the steering sharpens up and the throttle response is better. THAT IS ALL THAT CHANGES! So Vicky is exactly 50% wrong about the car here and so, her opinion might just be 50% wrong also.

[@alexanderhill-cp8be]

Her opinion can't be 50% wrong. You can not be right or wrong with an opinion, because thats what an opinion is, your own view. However she is 50% wrong with the facts.

[@DAGATHire]

H2Online No mate, She is giving inaccurate information. She said the DNA switch alters the suspension. It does not. She said the DNA switch alters the Exhaust note... AGAIN it does not. So of the 4 things that she listed which change when the DNA switch is used, Steering -- YES Throttle -- YES Suspension -- NO Exhaust note -- NO SHe is exactly 50% wrong about this car. It's not a question of her opinion. it's a question of her being half wrong about the actual technical specifications. OK? Good-

[@alexanderhill-cp8be]

+DAGATHire Thats exactly what I was trying to say. I said: "she is 50% wrong with the facts" Therefore I agree with what you said about her being wrong about the technical specifications, as they are FACTS about the car which she has got incorrect. I was merely bringing to light the other thing you stated "... and might be 50% wrong with her opinion". I am aware you are stating that she is basing her opinion on facts that are incorrect. But that doesn't make her opinion "50% wrong" as it is impossible for anyone to say an opionion is wrong as it's a personal point of view. Get it? Good Glad we can see eye to eye.

[@DAGATHire]

H2Online You are making a leap with your own opinions there. the word "MIGHT" is rather important and you are ignoring it. Im right you are wrong. ANd this is a monumental waste of my time. Peace

[@alexanderhill-cp8be]

+DAGATHire 'MIGHT' means you are suggesting there is a chance/ possibility her opinion is wrong. Unless you are extremely ignorant (I am not suggesting you are) you would know there is no possibility an opinion can be wrong, therefore the word 'MIGHT' doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to the statement.

[@therudallcello999]

I've had 4 Alfas, now drive BMW, both are great cars but which do I really prefer?

[@tommyhartman7920]

Which do you prefer?

[@djole9562]

Its been 6 years, give us answer which one You really preffer!

[@pav1u]

Loooool

[@maxperala5109]

I need to know.

[@Saskue78]

Umm the Alfa Mito clover is the most reliable Alfa ever but I still think those headlights are very un-alfa like they just don't look right on an Alfa. Did Vicki say the seats were to big for her smal ladies bottom?

[@Mawerik024]

@BYLRPhil lol. Well if ya didn't tell which car it was it could sound interesting

[@Constructer97]

quite a good car in tdu2

[@gloup81]

@DVaderlar yes

[@215alessio]

no it isn't whit the Q2 electronic differential

[@KENKENNIFF]

sikth, I love you vikki

[@JENSDONT]

a mito should be in red, not yellow! it's not a ds3

[@CHMernerner]

mini with alfa romeo's perpect engine sound

[@SkyFortStudios]

when will they bring this to the us???

[@wsbygt]

@Mawerik024 You´re right! But who needs friends and luggage when can do real fast and sturdy turns in a mountain track? ;) MINI Cooper S, ________The sport class reference.

[@soundseeker63]

@mjcpv What if I don't?

[@Agapid]

@footballistaJ me too

[@scoot24925]

@CDS6000 in 2011 u will

[@Mawerik024]

@ooMATTiAoo in blue it's also very beautiful

[@Mawerik024]

@wsbygt No friends, no girlfriend, no luggage, no comfort, just driving experience? Lol, I'd buy a Lotus Elise! Which costs about the same as a well sorted cooper S. Now THAT is fast and sturdy turning!

[@TheCarArchives96]

the engine on the 2008-present Alfa Romeo MiTo Engine Petrol: 0.9 I2 Turbo TwinAir 1.4 I4 1.4 I4 Turbo 1.4 I4 Turbo Multiair Diesel: 1.3 I4 JTDM 1.6 I4 JTDM LPG: 1.4 I4 Turbo

[@Mawerik024]

@soundseeker63 On the reliability you're partly right, certainly it's not the first thing that pops into mind thinking of an Alfa.. BTW Alfas are much more reliable today... And Toyotas... Well bit less. So gap is smaller. The second part of what you said is very wrong. Until mid-eighties when Alfa went bankrupt and got in the hands of FIAT Alfa Romeos were CONSISTENTLY much better than BMWs. To match the 150 bhp 75 2.0 TS a 325i wasn't enough

[@randombloke10]

''country lanes'' aka the millbrook hillclimb circuit :) aint fooling me women

[@Mawerik024]

@Fearrange I hope Fiat will bring them soon to the US. But then, buy them!! They're no more like 80's, now Alfas are reliable!

[@imnotsickimjustaboy]

@pieguy720 dont think so

[@techstyle123]

my hands are just right to grip you properly....lol nice car

[@Mawerik024]

@richboy900 oh my god...

[@Acewignut]

Those alloys are look alike of one u will find on lambo...

[@gloup81]

@billoddiea i rely , had a 147 , when i introduced to the 155bhp mito the reds started at 5.000rpm and i went WHAT THE HECK !! ??? the vag group which i always laugjing at theyre reds , start 500rpm laters ... these cars should be renamed volksini wagenini ... they tried hard and in cases they managed to be a vw-like , so now they just have to find the customers

[@VoXe63]

// despite the fact that they're fucking awful cars which don't run on any day ending in the letter Y. // Er, no. My mother had a AR for 15 years and didn't give a day of trouble and my cloverleaf is running beautifully. I suspect that you are talking through word of mouth and not from any actual AR ownership experience.

[@dattobello]

I love ALFA ROMEO MITO

[@bluedew]

"And the seats are a bit too wide to grip me properly..." And she isn't exactly.. slim?

[@scoot24925]

@banhovas LOL..such as little car rwd? dont be kiding...biger cars than this has fwd ...this is to little..and handle very well..fwd helps in mountain roads and in wet has better grip...this car dont need rwd...u must be from usa right?

[@prague77]

mamma mia...i know its old review... please close the doors on frameless cars by door part, not by glass one

[@wsbygt]

@Mawerik024 Now I totally agree with you!!!!! But in my country a Elise or Exige costs twice as a MINI Cooper S. So if you want a bang-for-the-buck driving experience and still take a gf with you.... MINI Cooper S. If you live well and have more than one car, Lotus Exige R. If you´re wealthy than buy the ultimate driving experience______ Ferrari 599GTB. You agree with me dear friend? ;) cheers m8!

[@alexlex85]

@quieturmuzzle "concider" to spell "consider"

[@richboy900]

Lol the window is dodgy and 3.11 when the door is closed, the window raises itself

[@cbtmale]

@odracirseraoseia1999 Once the Mito GTA goes on sale the cooper s and works cars will be left behind on all fronts.. Handling..Roadholding & performance. ..

[@Mawerik024]

@wsbygt if you have a lot more money to spend yes, it could be a good choice. Ah and if you don't have friends, cause they will never get in the back. Ah and if you aren't going to plan journeys which include luggage, they will not fit

[@Nuk3sC]

7-th gear

[@CochiTravels]

@0:33 it looks as big as a Range Rover.

[@Signal_feuer]

@Fearrange Oh come on! Move to Europe! Although I don't recommend Hungary. :P
