Cute ass whippers!
Phew but its been a while since I.ve posted anything, so well its about time... Firstly I would like to share a deep dark secret. I love tiny little mouse cars just as much as I would love big massive powerful cars like the SLS AMG. Sure it is wonderful to melt the tar on the road with your big V8 and have exploding crashes, but these big cars nearly always have major downfalls when it comes down to the whole package.
Now let me tell you this, you do get cars that do all that and have next to nothing faults. Cars that are great to drive, fast and make you laugh without the terror of a big crash. They are almost perfect for everyone, girls love them and love it even more if guys drive them. What car could be all this?
Well...

Well...
Mini's
Well, super Mini's yes. You see these cars are light, great to drive and have humongous turbo's and superchargers. Some even have jet engines, well ok, it feels like a jet engine. They come with alloy mags that are huge and have fancy sound systems, bonkers in every way but the most important thing it the way you feel in them. You know your driving a glorified go-cart and that your only going 60km/h but you don't care because it feels like you doing 1000km/h and that you have a Buggati Veyron engine under that 2cm bonnet. These cars just put a huge smile on your face and you can't help but to fall in love with them.
Now you probably want to go experience this for yourself and you car, without a huge price tag. The question just is which one to go for. I've sorted them out and there are three that stand out...
1# Suzuki Swift 1.6 sport
The Suzuki first of all most has replaced the Mini Cooper, It's much better.
With it's clever multivalve system we see the 1.6 put out 92kw.
0-100 in 8.9sec.
Now remember that these cars aren't really Buggati's so 92kw is huge ! Think of it as a go-cart with 92kw.
This car is in our top three because it just is so much fun.
Loads of quality for the tiny price tag of under R200 000.00
2#Abarth 500
Some might not be familiar with Abarth so let me tell you who they are. AMG is a in-house tuning company for Mercedes-Benz, so Abarth is an in-house tuning company for FIAT. So look at it like a FIAT 500c AMG.
Yes its that fast, or at least you will think it is.
Its 1.4 turbo charged mouse gives you 99kw to play with.
This car is also a massive fashion icon and a car icon. If only a Ferrari can feel the way this car feels.
It has everything in terms of what you want and need in a car.
3#Alfa Romeo MiTo quadrifoglio verde
Yes I always include the MiTo in all my top lists just because its that good. This car is not only sexy but the quadrifoglio verde is quite fast and very good to drive. It is also the most powerful car on our list with 125kw.
This car has it all including the fantastic Alfa D.N.A system which lets you choose what type of driving you want. This car doesn't only make you smile but warms your heart as well.
Now if I had to choose one, anyone. You might think I'll take the MiTo because of the way I go on about the car, but your wrong. It has to be the Little FIAT 500 Abarth because it truly is amazing.

We got the bug, Alfa-rites
We have always loved Alfa Romeo, it has a special place in every car fans heart, you pause every time you see one drive down the road, some even squeal like a little girl.
Well we did when we saw what was coming. Some say when you get exposed to an Alfa you get the Alfa bug, thats what we have, and have it badly. Alfa-rites.
First we saw the MiTo and fell inlove, then it was the Giulietta. Even VW caught the Alfa Bug.
Well I think we have it again. Its called the 4C, yes, little sister of the 8C.
Its the same size as the little MiTo, but its not a bad thing.
2 seater with a weight of 850kg. Add the 4 cylinder turbo charged 1.7 from the Giulietta and we get a real sports Alfa. The engine is going to be placed in the middle with rear-wheel drive, so its a super-car layout.
Its beautiful with speed and design in mind. This car will be the car to have when it comes out... In 2012.
Alfa do want to sell it all over the world, so hopefully it will be sold here in S.A...
I know if it gets sold here I will be buying one.
