I can not tell you how the Mito compares to the Swift but I have been able to test the 1.6D Mito extensively against the Mini Cooper D when I was renting a lot of cars on business trips. I have even compared them in the Italian Alps and though both cars are good, the Mito is the better driving car. It gives you more confidence in hair-pin curves. It has better seats for long distance. Both cars can keep up with inside lane traffic on the German motorway, i.e. Audi A4 / BMW 320 lease cars. I actually ended up buying a Mito 1.6D new for the purpose of being a cheap Autobahn cruiser. And it does that still very well after almost 10 years trouble free motoring.

Hi Matt. As you know im a Driving Instructor and use the MITO 1.3 diesel JTDM2 as my tuition car currently on my second one, it being one on the very last to come out of the showrooms. They are fantastic little cars, my current one has the speciale spec which includes leather seats and sunroof both a god send in these covid day of needing to clean the car between each pupil and also to keep good ventilation. Between the two cars i have covered 140,000 miles and rising daily, all trouble free, never had an issue at all. Cheap to run, I could not be more pleased with the MITO! Spending all day in a car I have found the seats very comfortable and that important believe me. The only issue I have had is that other drivers seem to like to crash in to the rear of the MITO. When the car has been in for crash repair I have had a Peugeot 208 and a Vauxhall Corsa as the courtesy cars. On both occasions those have been the longest weeks of my life with my pupils continually moaning that they don't like this car and when will the MITO be back. It's coming up to the time to change the car and OMG what shall I buy I don't know! seeing that ALFA in their infinite wisdom have abandoned this sector in favour of the SUV. Many of my pupils have gone on to buy the base Mito as their first car, ALFA Romeo, what are you doing you need to feed in the buyers as Audi, BMW and other do and not Just hope you can poach buyers at a higher level! Create you market and keep your customers ALFA Romeo!

Going to pick up my new (to me) MiTo tomorrow and absolutely cannot wait. It’s red and petrol as an Alfa should be with black leather and a sunroof. I had a 147 previously (and a 146 before that) and it was simply glorious. Yes, it had its faults (having to take the bumper off to change the sidelight bulb), but the drive was exceptional. I’m hoping that the MiTo will feel like that, but with Bluetooth! People who haven’t had one just go on about the reliability. Once you have one, you’re hooked. I don’t think there’s a mainstream car out there that has as much character or feels as special. My other car is a 300bhp SAAB 9-5 and it’s great and I love it and will never sell it, but still, the Alfa ❤❤

Nice review, thanks! The MiTo remains underrated by many but is a fab car and has left a huge hole in the Alfa line-up. But there are some bargains to be had out there on a used MiTo and the later models are now coming out of PCP/finance terms and hitting the market. The MiTo is, and history will prove it to be, a proper Alfa and has introduced thousands to the brand. Thanks again - nicely done! P.S. the tiny, single cup-holder in the front is actually an oddment bin or there was optional ashtray - there are big cup-holders in the front door pockets ;-)

Glad to hear the driving experience is very different than that of the corsa or the punto, I remember when it was new that journalists tended to be somewhat critical about the Mito. There's a rumour apparantly that Alfa is planning a new Mito, based on the 208 and ... new corsa-platform. I'd like seeing it happen, Alfa could do with a few more sales ...

On the other hand, the 155hp model comes with a slightly bigger turbo ihi vl36/38 whose max power with a remap is around 175hp. If you want to achieve 210hp you have to upgrade the turbo with a garret 1446 or a td04 to achieve even more power than that, plus bigger injectors.

Sadly it wasn't for me as any journey over 30 minutes gave me really bad back ache and was the worst car I've owned. The ride was rock hard in veloce spec. Cloth seats also hard. It did feel special and handled well until I put firestone tyres on it. With such sporty suspension do not cheap out on rubber or it will violently understeer. I did like the interior, definitely felt more special than most super minis. Not good that when you indicate you can easily switch off the headlights. DNA really worked.

Not a fan of the Mito (except for its style) but it was a good car to acquire new people to a brand that they may have never considered. That engine though, is a great unit. A friend of mine has a G.Punto 1.4 120 remapped and is properly fast!! PS Just to say, a car i'd like to see in this channel is the "new" Delta, from 2008ish. I See them almost every day but a Matt's review would be great

My daughter had one of these in the same colour but a diesel, it looked fantastic but the engine was not reliable, also the electric steering motor has issues they switch off at random times the only solution is to replace with brand new{ very expensive) or a rebuild which we had done for around £180, apart from that a good little car

Well done Matt. I was waiting for you to acknowledge that the Grande Punto and the Corsa were an exceptional starting point for the Mito. A great, solid quality package with lovely individual touches. Everything that joins that little Club of MINI, Beetle, DS3, Audi A1 etc is a welcome choice for the consumer. Even the Fiesta Vignale looks very unique and prestigious. Or do you disagree ?

How the hell did they come up with the front parking sensors location? 😅 PS: The TCT suits the car very well. Also small city cars should have automatic options, not just manual gearboxes.

I like the shape of the car. I am glad Alfa kept the classic shape of the grill triangle. It is instantly recognizable as an Alfa. Contrast with BMW who messed with the kidney roundels so much so that new Beemers have lost the plot. My only gripe are the headlamps which look like BMW Mini's. That car is near 20 years old now. Alfa stylists should have done better.

Wonder if that was Lili (who had the Alto you reviewed) in her E30?

Had a Mito for a couple of years, thought it looked great and was totally reliable, but never got on with the DNA - engine felt flat in N but D made steering heavy and lifeless. They could have made one good setting, but ended up with two compromised ones. Still look back on it fondly despite its foibles, so maybe it is a real Alfa!

it can't be an Alfa without some sort of faults or quirkiness
