For my friend, it was just one car among others. I am passionate about Italian cars, he is not attached to any particular brand. Besides, he was and still is not a fan of the pre-restyling version with its chrome bars grille, nor of some accessories like the black ring on the front lights or the sport rims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In&nbsp;<strong>December 2016<\/strong>While my friend is looking for a new vehicle (a Citro\u00ebn Saxo Phase 3) and is about to break his piggy bank to buy a new or almost new vehicle, his attention is immediately drawn to a&nbsp;<strong>Alfa Romeo MiTo white, restyled version<\/strong>&nbsp;with black honeycomb grille, with&nbsp;<strong>only 100 km on the odometer<\/strong>The car is on display in front of a FIAT-ALFA-JEEP dealership in the Yvelines. Test is taken but&nbsp;<strong>love at first sight is already<\/strong>&nbsp;for him, as for me,&nbsp;<strong>present<\/strong>. He wants it, we want it. We take it. Get on board, the journey begins...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Sans-titre-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Sans-titre-2-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11376\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The style?

At the front, the round lights with a dark grey color are superb. Combined with the&nbsp;<strong>V-shaped grille<\/strong>&nbsp;so characteristic of the brand,&nbsp;<strong>black honeycomb<\/strong>&nbsp;for this model of June 2016 which has then 6 months and only 100 km on the odometer when we acquire it in December of the same year, that provides a&nbsp;<strong>stylish and elegant appearance<\/strong>The MiTo is a car that is easily distinguished from the soulless Franco-German movers. The MiTo, you see it, you recognize it, it attracts and charms you because it's different. It's Italian and that means everything to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_35_50_Pro.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_35_50_Pro-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_37_26_Pro.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_37_26_Pro-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, small details add to the natural elegance of this model. Details that made us fall in love with this particular vehicle: the&nbsp;<strong>16\u2033 aluminum wheels with many spokes<\/strong>the sport rims which did not suit us, or the&nbsp;<strong>chrome mirrors<\/strong>&nbsp;which contrast with the bodywork. Not to mention the&nbsp;<strong>remote plate<\/strong>&nbsp;on the side that makes so Alfa or the white color, without sinking into the cream of some other models.

It must be said that we came out of a 15 year old Saxo which, despite its valour and the good memories we have of it, does not have the means to compete. In the Mito, what predominated from the start was the&nbsp;<strong>feeling of being wrapped up<\/strong>. We feel coiled in a cocoon where everything seems to be padded, so much so that we have the impression that the front window is 4 meters away! The interior design seduced us and<strong>&nbsp;the quality of the materials is always good.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_14_04_10_Pro.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_14_04_10_Pro-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11332\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>from all angles<br>On this subject, having ridden in an Audi A1, I'd like to send a message to the car testers that I respect so much: stop with your German manufacturing quality because, without any bad faith (I assure you!), the manufacturing quality of an A1 did not seem superior to that of our MiTo. If the precision of the assemblies can be put to the advantage of the German (but the difference is millimetric), it is especially the fact of proposing uniform materials that contributes to the feeling of visual quality, whereas the Alfa uses different materials that can make you think of a patchwork appearance. As for the A1's plastics, they sound hard and hollow outside the dashboard's visuals. Here again, it's best not to look in the corners. So, does the MiTo have anything to be ashamed of? In my opinion, no. Intrinsically, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the A1 is not the subject of our article so let's get back to our Milanese. L'<strong>foamed look of the top of the dashboard<\/strong>This wave-shaped device, which joins the center console, is still very pleasant and is located in the&nbsp;<strong>fairly insensitive to scratches<\/strong>&nbsp;(we are rather careful anyway). The same goes for the storm doors.

The&nbsp;<strong>driving position<\/strong>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<strong>easily found<\/strong>. As someone who has only driven it a few times (the characteristic of many people in Paris who have the pink paper but only use public transport, which unfortunately led me to hardly touch a steering wheel), I found, when I got behind the hoop, that the driving position was easy to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, as a passenger, which I am 99% of the time, I find the&nbsp;<strong>poorly made storm doors.<\/strong>&nbsp;Putting your arm on the armrest of the back door doesn't help me much, it's too low! Putting it on the top of the door near the window is a torture, due to a very high body line, perfect for the design, but torture inside, where putting your right arm as a passenger is a headache. So, I prefer to put my left arm on the central armrest! Without disturbing the driver of course... Also the&nbsp;<strong>doors, large and heavy<\/strong>are&nbsp;<strong>difficult to maneuver<\/strong>&nbsp;and the amplitude to stabilize them is badly dosed.

It turns!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our June 2016 MiTo Super trim is equipped with a&nbsp;<strong>1.4 MPI engine with 78 hp<\/strong>. I can already feel the cries of rage from some. What's the point? But when you have an Alfa, you don't take an entry-level engine! It's unworthy ! And they claim to love Alfa ! etc etc... Stop ! Several reasons explain this engine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- Love at first sight was aesthetic before it was about power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- For the budget we had, the choice was simple: either a new or almost new MiTo with this small engine, or a more powerful engine but with a vehicle with more miles on it or simply more expensive to buy. Which was impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- A more powerful engine, of course it is good, but we are my companion and me, young. The banker might not have followed, the insurer might not have either, and the license might be even less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- To drive at 130 km\/h on the highway and at&nbsp;<del>90<\/del>&nbsp;80 on secondary roads is enough. To drive less and less in the name of the sacrosanct mortality on the road spearheaded by the perrichonesque harpies, to soon drive on a scooter or even in reverse (to bring the dead back to life?), it's even quite enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mms_img-675880491.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mms_img-675880491-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11341\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This 1.4 MPI, what can we say about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all,&nbsp;<strong>visually<\/strong>the first time we opened the hood,&nbsp;<strong>we found it very small.<\/strong>&nbsp;We could almost fit two engines in the hood, as we had the impression that there was still some space left. Oh yes, we're far from the big V6s that fit in a row!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the road, it does the job.<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Flexible, efficient and very alert<\/strong>it fulfills the function. With 78 hp, of course,&nbsp;<strong>it's not a thunderbolt<\/strong>&nbsp;(my friend says that they are \"more 78 ponies than 78 horses\"). But that's enough for our limited speeds in France and with a&nbsp;<strong>small ton on the scale only<\/strong>. On the other hand,<strong>&nbsp;when it is necessary to relaunch, in full dimension, to double for example, one feels that the diva has difficulty to find the energy<\/strong>&nbsp;and we are quickly caught up by powerful vehicles arriving behind at full speed. But<strong>&nbsp;at a stable speed, no problem.<\/strong>&nbsp;You just need to&nbsp;<strong>don't hesitate to whip it from time to time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_39_43_Pro.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_39_43_Pro-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11348\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the road, the car&nbsp;<strong>is rather well soundproofed<\/strong>&nbsp;(even if the competition is more accomplished). If the accelerations are not lightning, the car, on the other hand,&nbsp;<strong>brakes hard<\/strong>. As far as consumption is concerned, we started when we bought the car, with only 100 small kilometers on the odometer, with a rather high consumption since, for a&nbsp;<strong>45L tank<\/strong>We were only doing 450 to 500 km. As much to say that the stops at the pump were frequent and that the miss was drinking! It was a&nbsp;<strong>average of 10L\/100 km at the beginning!<\/strong>&nbsp;My friend often complained but I told him that the break-in was necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_50_05_Pro.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_50_05_Pro-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11349\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today,<strong>&nbsp;after 30,000 km behind the wheel<\/strong>&nbsp;(in 18 months, yes, that's a lot!), we carry out&nbsp;<strong>up to 650 km on a full tank.<\/strong>&nbsp;Either a&nbsp;<strong>average consumption around 7L\/100 km<\/strong>.&nbsp;<strong>At 130 km\/h at stabilized speed, we are at 6.3L on average.<\/strong>&nbsp;Even though the question of diesel could be raised in view of the mileage we drive, it was a no-go. No farm tractor noise worthy of a Peugeot in our car! Even if we had to go to the pump more often. In any case, with the higher purchase price, the maintenance, the numerous breakdowns due to the (too) many parts and in view of the diesel scandal, we did well!&nbsp;<em>Viva Benzina<\/em>&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mms_img1372811132.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mms_img1372811132-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Sans-titre2-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Sans-titre2-1-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sound level, at the risk of sounding like a fool,&nbsp;<strong>it makes a great noise!<\/strong>&nbsp;I can already hear the \"What, a 78 hp? What a joke!\" And yet, I affirm it. It makes a&nbsp;<strong>a real rally car sound, with a petulant side.<\/strong>&nbsp;What remains imperceptible inside with the windows closed is, on the contrary, very noticeable when you are outside. At start-up, as when you make it take turns, it offers a&nbsp;<strong>a little side of a 70's sports car<\/strong>&nbsp;that we are particularly fond of.&nbsp;<strong>It hums slightly, it slams on the exhaust<\/strong>. See the video below: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gMl9YHv0Urg?feature=oembed&amp;wmode=opaque<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>maximum speed<\/strong>&nbsp;is marked&nbsp;<strong>for 200 km\/h<\/strong>&nbsp;on the meter but be aware that&nbsp;<strong>we have \"only\" taken it up to 175 km\/h.<\/strong>&nbsp;Which is already prohibited, you will agree. But hush, you haven't read anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In ordinary life,&nbsp;<strong>the small one is handy and easy to drive<\/strong>&nbsp;but beware because its<strong>&nbsp;bodywork<\/strong>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<strong>terribly exposed<\/strong>&nbsp;! It is otherwise&nbsp;<strong>comfortable in its saddlery<\/strong>&nbsp;but the&nbsp;<strong>suspension<\/strong>&nbsp;is<strong>&nbsp;a little dry<\/strong>&nbsp;on the bump and&nbsp;<strong>some irregularities are sometimes felt<\/strong>. In the same way one serves the teeth (and the buttocks!) with the approach of certain speed bumps, without counting that, taken a little quickly, the long black plastic bib located under the front spoiler can rub. Softness and delicacy!...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the&nbsp;<strong>5-speed mechanical gearbox<\/strong>&nbsp;fulfills its mission and<strong>&nbsp;mates well with this engine<\/strong>. She&nbsp;<strong>doesn't catch on<\/strong>&nbsp;and is<strong>&nbsp;well tiered<\/strong>. On the other hand, don't expect to pick up at the bottom of the rev counter in 2nd gear, the MiTo will stall! It's not a diesel, by any means! When driving smoothly as well as briskly,<strong>&nbsp;the car follows its trajectory well, hugs the road<\/strong>on straight and winding roads, and has proven to be<strong>&nbsp;always safe<\/strong>.&nbsp;<strong>The front end remains heavy<\/strong>&nbsp;when<strong>&nbsp;the rear, it follows without flinching.<\/strong>&nbsp;When entering a traffic circle, the tires stay glued to the asphalt. Don't expect to make them sing or to make the rear end drift, the car remains stuck, even if the front end tends to widen the trajectory a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_40_39_Pro.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WP_20180421_15_40_39_Pro-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11360\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Balance sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, after 18 months of owning it, it is clear that&nbsp;<strong>we love our MiTo<\/strong>. We are attached to it. It is beautiful and desirable.&nbsp;<strong>We feel that she is being watched as she passes<\/strong>. Try it with a C3 to see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, it is not the most technophile, nor the most powerful nor the most efficient, but it is very well equipped, sufficient for regulation speeds, comfortable and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mostly,&nbsp;<strong>it has that little \"+\".<\/strong>&nbsp;that the others will never have, no matter how brilliant they are: it is beautiful, definitely beautiful. It's an Italian, a car with&nbsp;<strong>a soul and a heart<\/strong>. One perceives sometimes this small sparkle in its glance. We get attached to her, we are one with her.
