The ALFA ROMEO MITO (2009-11) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 TB 120 TURISMO is a small, three-door supermini: a stylish alternative to mainstream city hatchbacks such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. Its compact size suits town streets and parking, while the turbocharged petrol engine gives it more lively performance than many basic small cars. It is best suited to singles, couples or commuters wanting an expressive everyday car, rather than families needing easy rear-seat access or generous boot space. The Turismo trim brings a more polished feel, and the MiTo’s distinctive Italian styling and eager road manners help it stand out against practical rivals. Expect a firmer, more characterful experience than a typical small hatchback. mycarcheck.com records are based on a modest sample: 19 look-ups covering eight VINs.
