Alfa Romeo Mito (09 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 26 January 2009 Last Updated: 22 February 2011 Mito is an Italian MINI - the kind of car Alfa Romeo should have been building years ago. It's trendy, good to drive and is packed with the latest technology, making it ideal for the fashion-conscious car buyer. A year after its launch Alfa raised the bar with its MultiAir models. Incorporating new technology that make it run more efficiently, the Mito promises more power, lower emissions and improved fuel economy. There's also the introduction of the 170bhp Cloverleaf model - a return of an iconic performance badge. Buyers who opt for the Mito over the MINI can be confident of owning a car that's far less common, more attractively priced and better equipped. Couple that with strong resale value forecasts and affordable lease and running costs and it's clear that this is the first Alfa in a very long time that appeals to both the heart and the head. 4 out of 5 Other Alfa Romeo reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Safety The Mito scored a five-star rating for adult occupant protection in official European crash tests - the maximum rating available at the time of its launch - and comes with electronic stability control as standard as well as seven airbags, including a driver's knee airbag. Front head restraints also move to reduce the likelihood of whiplash injuries in a crash.

The Mito is based on the Fiat Grande Punto so many components are shared and have already been proven on the road. Car check problem points Body No problems reported.
