We drove the TB Lusso, which has a
155bhp 1.4-litre petrol turbo. It’s not short on pace, with
0-62mph in eight seconds and a 134mph top speed, while the 230Nm of turbocharged torque means plenty of mid-range urge. Throttle response could be better, though, particularly in the Normal set-up.
On a twisty road, the MiTo is a lot of fun. The electric power-steering doesn’t offer much feel, even in Dynamic mode, but it’s accurate and quick. Combined with stiff suspension and a wide track, it means the
Alfa turns into corners very quickly indeed. The car grips hard and resists body roll well, tightening its line safely at a lift of the throttle.
The ride is stiff, and not as compliant as the MINI’s, but the car is still good to drive.
And it’s just the model Alfa needs. Even at £14,800 for the top-spec Veloce, the MiTo is great value.
Rival: MINI Cooper S
A SUPERB all-rounder, the MINI combines cheeky looks, superb build and a wonderful driving experience. But it comes at a price. To match the MiTo turbo’s pace, you will need to spend at least £16,245 on the Cooper S.
