Just been out for a bit of a drive and as I neared the last 5 miles home I acquired some company in my rear view mirror. Had a little blast with him away from some round abouts and lights and just before we parted ways he pulled up in a bright red car the same size as mine, box new as well.... I thought, Jesus that’s a funny looking Astra, but upon second glance I realised it’s a bloody Alfa Mito! It was huge! I don’t know why, but I had Fiat 500, Cooper S sizes in my mind, but ohhhh noooo!

Seriously I don’t know how many have been seen about but it is very close to the same size as my Civic Type R (EP3 previous model). For some reason I just thought it would be much smaller, and the huge bulbous high rise arse/lights thing is not do it any favours.....

Auto Express has it down as a Fiesta rival, but it is much bigger, almost CTRR/ RS/ R26R territory.
