The ALFA ROMEO MITO (2009-11) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.3 JTDM 90 TURISMO 6SPD is a small, three-door supermini with sporty Italian styling. It sits in the premium-leaning end of the UK small-car market, offering a more distinctive alternative to mainstream hatchbacks such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. The 90-horsepower diesel is suited to regular commuting and longer trips, with six gears helping make motorway driving more relaxed; its frugal character can appeal to drivers covering distance. The Turismo trim gives this Mito a better-equipped feel, while the compact footprint and three-door layout suit singles or couples more readily than families needing easy rear-seat access. mycarcheck.com has 30 checks across 18 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a full-market survey.
