lol, despite the bad reputation, the newer models are quite a bit better.
I have had my mito for over a year and not really had issues (besides a speaker problem).
For the price it goes pretty well and is a nice cabin to be surrounded by.

My wheel barrow from Builder's Warehouse also didn't display any problems in it's first year other than some mild squeaking noises.
20 years ago a reliable vehicle is one which you could drive for 10 years before any minor components broke or needed replacing. Looks like we've reached the height of being a throw away society.

Fair enough, but in contrast i had a polo, a megane and a fiesta that all had issues in their first year.
Alfa's, especially second hand ones were notorious for breaking down and having issues on an almost monthly basic.

My point is that, so far so good, I havent had serious issues, and from the other owners I have spoken to neither have they.

The Mito isn't really an Alfa Romeo though...which would explain why it's doing better than most.
 
If you took away the age/mileage factor, a BMW E36/46 M3 would do just great....

lol my 10 year old one does 150 km/h easily on freeways uphill when I go from PMB to howick, can do more but dont want fines :D

0-60 km/h is quite quick depending on how I change the gears, slow or fast

Tell that to the township people who drive 80 km/h max on freeways before breaking down

That doesn't mean that their heaps of junk can't do it, just that they're not doing it. Come back when your Mazda Sting can hit 200 around a track :rolleyes:

It can but I wouldn't ever go that speed anyway without an advance driving course, since I am not that experienced.
 
Lol what a bunch of BS. Seriously, take your Sting and go play with the Tazzes and Daihatsus.
