Anyone got any experience with one? They seem cheap for a good looking little hot hatch to run about in.

Second hand? I like the Quadrifiglio Verde ones they had at Paris last year. Guess that's the same thing, I looked brand new/lease and they were dear, plus the inside was god awful.

Quadrifolglio Verde is what they became after a while I think, pretty certain it's just a rename.

I've driven one, id recommend the mito in general to anyone, it's been a reliable car that's done 87k in my ownership now wanting no more than servicing and has been to Warren for a gearbox fix. They're heavy on front tyres and the ride isn't fantastic but they handle well and the petrol turbo ones go nicely. The interior is one of the best bits for me. Any specific questions let me know I'll try and help

I have a tuning box'd Abarth 500. Love it. Pretty sure the mito would be the same. Quite a harsh ride but worth it.

the mito does share the same chassis as the corsa d and punto, many engines are the same as well.
but why not try an alfa site? maybe because corsa driver are the best certainly the best car

The Cloverleaf has a manual 'box, where as the QV moves to a semi-auto which is like the early VAG DSG units where manual isn't a true manual mode and it will default back to auto after a while.

I had a look into these last week and all of the mag reviews seem to say it isn't quite there as a hot hatch.

The Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrofoglio Verde replaces the old Cloverleaf hot hatch, but it's seriously disappointing
