    Mito cause I have one avaliable to drive and its the TB 155bhp version

    It feels like your sitting in the car instead of on it (like a 500) . Also has a nice exhaust note and that from the standard exhaust system!

    Abarth 500 all the way. Mito is ugly. Just my opinion.

    I tested the Mito for a while before it came out, was a 155hp version.

    Steering was totally disconnected from the feel of the road. Car would tend to understeer out.

    DNA is pointless. Spent a day driving on reduced power... then when I realised MPG went down to 25mpg average. Totally unacceptable on a small car.

    Ride was crashy and overly firm. The only way to know the limit of grip was tyre squeel, not suspension.

    Car was overly priced and no room in the back.

    Bought a Mazda 2 instead.

    You can have your opinion, but your wrong!

    As for Hans, "no room in the back" you obviously havnt been in the back of the car cause there is LOADS of room, and I am 6'2.

    Steering isnt disconnected, its heavy in normal mode, but when would you drive in that.... sport all the way.
