Alfa Romeo Mito (2009 - 2018) 0.9 TB TwinAir (105bhp) Sprint 3d (2014/64) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Probably that my heart rules my head.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Lovely car, but they wouldn't want to own one.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Unfortunately not, love Alfa styling but thier reliability combined with the Customer Service I received has put me off ever risking another.

What are you likely to buy next?

Already have a Nissan Duke, not as much fun as the Alfa but alot more car for your money. Doesn't have the same gamble on reliability & their Customer Service to date has been excellent.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£12,500

When did you buy the car?

January 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Was bought on a PCP deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Previous car was a Mito so decided to have another one.

What was the dealer like?

Dealer was average, didnt really go out of their way to make the experience special, unlike the previous management who had made the experience memorable when we bought our previous Mito.

What's it like to drive?

Nice & nippy in dynamic, but used alot more petrol when you did. However quite flat in normal.

What's it like to park?

Easy enough to park, although rear view is very restricted.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes, within the first 6 weeks the engine management light had come on twice & the car was back with the dealer. The dealer accepted the car was not fit for purpose due to a design fault that could occur in cold weather and after appauling customer service from Alfa & Alfa finance & nearly 6 months of grief they eventually abided by the Consumer Credit Act and unwound the PCP deal.

What's most practical about your car?

Good inside space for the size of the car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The DNA system.
