Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4 TB Veloce review - verdict
Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4 155 T-Jet Veloce Road Test
Test Date 04 March 2009
Price When New £15,495
Verdict
The Mito has a great deal going for it and a fair amount resting on it. As Mini has shown, the logic behind a small, fun, affordable car from an iconic brand is sound. With the Corsa/Punto platform and engine selection, the basis is there to create an interesting and rewarding car. On to which Alfa has sculpted a shape unmistakably Alfa Romeo but bang up to date, and more practical than its chief rival.
And in some respects it’s a charming car to drive. The DNA system is a nice try, but we’d swap the variability for one setting that works really well. The big disappointments, though, are the damping and steering, both of which are frustratingly unresolved. More than the problems these issues cause in isolation, it is the fact that they cheapen the overall feel of the car that most damages the Mito’s case.
