With all the style Alfa Romeo is famed for, a wide choice of economical engines and an impressive list of personalisation options, it's no wonder that the MiTo is Alfa's best-selling model. There's even a good deal of space inside - enough for four adults at a push. However, it lacks the comfort and overall build quality to beat the Audi A1 and MINI for upmarket feel. Some of the cabin plastics are too hard and look cheap. The engine range offers great economy, though, which offsets the MiTo's relatively high purchase price. The MultiAir petrol engines impress with their performance and smoothness.

she's so small she makes the mito look big
This looks a thousand times better then a Fiesta.
Dodo M You really hate Fiesta's look
AnakinMSMP More like disliking Fiesta.
+Dodo M the new fiesta looks like the front of an Aston Martin
Arjan Singh Really?! I have to buy it then...
Its like they used the same grill design, I dont like the back of the Fiesta much lol
I am so happy VW Golf,Polo BMW 3 series and Audi A3 are so popular, there are literally thousands of them around, so when i drive in between them with my ruby red Alfa MiTo it feels so much more pecial, without this industrial look that german cars have, alfa is passion for sport. Forza Alfa!
Well said! it´s like that. Forza alfisti!
Buy it, you won´t regret it!
Alfa had long time ago a batch of 164 with problems on the engine, and 9 years ago on the electric circuit of some 147 first edition, since then alfa has inherited this name of having poor reliability which is total bullshit because it can happen to anyone to make mistakes, that also happened to german car manifacturers, check who had to recall 800.000 cars for their defective airbags, or who polluted half planet by hacking the software that reports co2 emissions during test drives.
StereotypedFilms an '80's wife's talk... So, so boring
Shine on! Forza Alfa!
I´m 29 years old and proud owner of an Alfa Mito, I don´t agree with some things she said, if you´re buying this car for a 17 year old boy (in Argentina this car is very expensive..but I know that in Europe and Usa obviusly it gets cheaper), he will be thrilled.
The car is simply great, the DNA system is outstanding, the driving feel is very very sporty...it is not a good car if you have a family, but I drove it for hours and hours in long distances and the confort is outstanding, the leather sits are outstanding, the audio systema also great, in a few words, MITO RULES.
I don't think there are many Alfa Romeo's in America, more like in the UK
I have never had a problem, It was my first Alfa, nowadays I drive a Giulietta (had a baby 10 months ago :) ), and I feel the same way as I did on the Mito. I had a modification done on the ECU and the car went from 170hp to 210hp...with a 1.4T motor...feels great, drives great. I had Chryslers, Bmws, drove Audis, since I bought the Mito, I never left the brand, when I take the Giulietta for a drive, it feels a disctinctive product. Can´t compare Alfas with a Ford Fiesta...shame you can´t get it in the USA.
is the 170hp version quick ?
I am 17 and can confirm

I only watched this review because I miss my MiTo so much.... It's not the fastest, and refined, but it has so much soule! No other car makes you happier than an Alfa...
I have an alfa romeo mito 1.3 jtdm QV for a year and half and this car made me fall in love for Alfa Romeo, even tho it's the cheapest alfa right now, I never get bored driving it and it does boost my confidence ahah, I think I wanna keep it forever and when the time comes to buy another car, I'll just buy another alfa
Bought mine 8 months ago.
An '09 1.4 Turbo.
Ever since I got it, it's been turning heads in my hometown.
my dad had a Mito, and when he switch it from normal to dynamic, you can really feen a diffrence.
Bought one today ( 2011 version diesel) can't wait to go out for a tour.
It has been out for years and for me it is still the most inspiring design out there in the segment. I am not lucky enough to drive one but I see them pretty much on a daily basis. I live near Torino ;)
I'm very impressed with your reviews Rebecca ...I now added car buyer to my subscription TH-cam channels
I have an Alfa Rome Mito QV. I will change it only with the new 4C. Afa is a faith!
Well nearmost 3 years (was registered on the 9th October 2009, the first mito in denmark), and im happy that your mito have been as reliable as mine :)
Nice clear review! Like the way iT is presented.
+aam voor Thanks! We really appreciate the comment!
This gave me a heart attack as soon as the video started... please don’t ever grab on the door window like that ever again 😂😂
anyone notice vettel rocking the cloverleaf badge on his racing suit arm .. Alfa and Ferrari like brothers ,,
good looking and full of energy.
the car is not bad either
I love Alfa, but I'm really attracted into the MiTo's looks.
ahahhaaha
Good brief review well delivered .
My favourite mito review on youtube)
95000 miles in my MiTo and no problems ,Love it!
Very nice car and good, fast review. Thx!
More alfa reviews please!
Thanx. Quality review
Been waiting for this one!
Lexus CT200h and Alfa Romeo MiTo? Completly my taste, thanks for these two reviews Mat and Rebecca!
It looks small outside, but quite big (surprisingly) inside. Nice styling too.
Watching from the U.S in 2021, still amazed that I blew my clutch in my accord while everyone in the UK is driving manual💀
I love how Luxurios this car is, very stylich , good looking, attractive........
Very good review
This car is special. It looks great, is rather quick, comparably cheap and also fuel efficient. Its a shame Alfa isnt giving it a successor.
I like how she says "....with the MiTo means it's worth a serious look." at the end. :)
Guys, any help will be appreciated. Considering this for a first car.. advice/ opinions?
For a hatchback it's a nice car! I'd so get it!
I bought a mito about a week ago and I'm completely in love with it. Gorgeous little thing and I have already noticed the slightly noisy cockpit, stiff suspension and frankly rubbish entertainment system, yet I still get to drive an Alfa to work. If recommend the black and chrome lusso which is just so much car for your money.
Did it have the bose sound system ?
Rob you can’t keep us hanging like this 😬
New revised model available to order now
how about a Suzuki Swift Sport review? pretty please !
Great little review. Buying a used small car for everyday use, as my Qashqai is unnecessary for regular city/town driving. And I can't decide between this, a Grande Punto or a DS3..... lol
I'm curious what did you choose at the end. I'm considering selling my grande punto and getting the Mito
How about getting an abarth punto?
Citroens do too, I am really glad about the FLAC capability, cause I'm sick of shitty MP3 bitrates. Cheers!
I think I prefer the mito over the giullietta
Nazza Khan Yeah me too!! Most I like is the large doors
Nazza Khan what’s the difference? The Mito has two doors. Does the giullietta have four doors? If so then I like the two door (because two-door hatchbacks are my favorite)
Nazza Khan me too.
I prefer Rebecca..
Same
It does look amazing
absolutely rockin'
Bring back Mat !
Just came today with my mito :D I'm literally over the moon, it's a alfa red, similar to this one in the video, quattrofoglio edition (only looks not engline) 1.4 mpi (110ps) with some raond aez rims that i want to change for the basic alfa rims that looks twice as better as the ones i got now. The only thing that i didn't like but i could live with it is that i don't have a computer or navigation system, or how i call it, i don't have a touchscreen. But I can see they left a lot of space for that if you want to upgrade. All in all, i will be having a lot of fun especially since summer is on the way :D
3 years later, what is it like owning a mito?
@@markoradic2002 no issues, the only thing i had to change is tires and upgrade the steering wheel software cause the servo steering is not mechanical it's a software issue (when the wheel gets heavier in random turns) so the update fixed it.
@@buzzbuzz3254 I plan on getting one as my first car, I’m thinking about the 1.4 tb with 120 bhp what’s your opinion on that one?
@@markoradic2002 if it's the 1.4 tb then it should have 155 hp. Cause it has the standard mito turbo. Stvarno nikakvih problema nisam imao od kad sam ga uzeo osim protosne robe sto na svakom auto mijenjas kad ode. Samo eto sto me kostalo 500km (220€)polovno mitov display sa navigacijom, bluetooth itd
@@buzzbuzz3254 znam da je najslabija verzija Mita sa turbom od 120 ks pa nadalje ali ih nema nešto mnogo oglašenih. Po tvom mišljenju koji motor bi trebalo izabrati za početnički?
Lol at her response after switching to D-mode (1:57), I know that feeling all too well!
hmmm... I did forget that this Alfa Romeo MiTo still has that Italian passion that makes the car drive well. We don't have Alfa Romeo here in PH though that's why I don't know much about 'em.
Nice to know, thank you. Funny how they took advantage of their old sign to identify the sporty version. So the Quadrifoglio could be somewhat the Alfa´s equivalent of Audi´s R...lol
and why is that then since it seems you are such a expert on it ?
beautiful rims
Paris Malaspinas what about the car?
@@dcrozier02 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Such a pretty little car. Love it. In the horrid sea of Suzuki’s and Hyundai’s and so on which us Indians are condemned to, these cute little Euro Hot Hatches are just so cool. Aesthetics! So Important!
Hey Guys I'm considering buying this car. I have a Golf V and I'm really sick of it because it has only 75hp and I need something more sporty but I don't have that much money for the fact I'm a student. Are the maintance costs high?
this car is gorgeous
Anyway, any chance reviewing Legacy in the future?
I’m getting a Mito as my first car 😍
i’m about to get my first car, and i’m thinking about getting a mito as well
love this car
"anti whiplash head restraint" - the specs are really high I must say, this is a new feature that has come about i see.
Hopefully can have one soon! :D
iPod connectivity is free on most MiTo's & always has been.
Look it up in the price list. It's standard on every version except the base one
Stunning
What a good subjection !
You should have tested the dual clutch model.
Bellissima.. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹👍👍
ahahahaha
please take a review of the ford focus 1.0 ecoboost
iPod connectivity in Fiat means an USB port where you can easily plug in an USB with MP3/WMA files on it, and just play that. The whole Fiat group has this, and if it comes with the Blue&Me system its actually really clever.
I LOVE THE WAY SHE SAYS BOTTLE
im 15 at the mo and want to have this as my car for my provisional and first few years, would anyone reccomend?
"which unless you are in the cloverleaf you can´t really forgive it.." What is the cloverleaf, a level of equipment and specifications for the car? I can see the cloverleaf badge on the side, but wonder if that what she´s talking about.
why isn't this review in your Alfa Romeo playlist?
Funny the differences between Mat and Rebecca. Mat said the DNA system was crap, Rebecca loved it. You'd think there'd be some consistency.
Is it always cold in the UK?
"No reported reliability issues" yet. Fixed that for you.
I have heard that it's not all that and to be fair maybe there right as the used price market value is low
wow... i'm surprised.
great car.
gonna be my first car hehe. buy it second hand.
5 years later...😅did you get one? i’m 18 thinking of getting my first car hahah
@@NyetCykaBlyat I'm 20 and thinking to buy it too lol, it will be strange after driving a Mazda 6 wagon tho
the big bottle test isnt puttin a bottle in the glovebox, its putting it in the doorbins
This girl knows how to drive car! Bravo!
I agree she is becoming more charming with every review.
Yup even in last years 3 series alloy wheels were an option, can you imagine a beemer with plastic wheel covers lol?
Speaking of styling, Alfa Romeo 4C released now. Best looks...ever
I'd love to see one of these here in America. Seriously.
same

The reason small cars like this are popular in Europe is because governments tax the life out of cars.
In America people could be driving around in 5 litre cars for the same money.
Americans just love their huge car-boats, there's sadly not a market for them
love this car!!
Excelente, bonito, el único!
It depends on the car, the version and the dealer as well.
Why do they edit the video so that we never see her from "behind"
65mpg?
I had a '09 Mito 1.4 16V Veloce in gunmetal - ex demo. Geogeous. But I had it after a Renaultsport Twingo Cup (too hardcore!). My Mito was sweet when revved, and a talented chassis was in there. But...the engine drank fuel/gutless, ride crashy, the steering hopeless and the DNA switch a jokey gimmick - and the damn steering used to correct - a safety feature I believe, but felt horrible. Oh, and the gearbox had to be replaced after a few weeks. Swopped for a luvly 500C, now have brill BMW 118d
Ipod, USB and Bluetooth handsfree with voice control are all standard on this car and not a cost option.
It's a beauty.
If you go Polo , go for the GTI (the rest suck); I got my MiTo QV about 6 months ago regardless of its age. :>
4:05 sorry, what was that?
hoping they bring this to the states once alfa comes back
I know, next year, hopefully
Wondering, what to choose... MiTo, or her.... As a matter of fact, i prefer the car.
nice car, god review
Hahaha, that reminded me of a really old Merc my mom had; shut the door a little too hard and the window would shatter. oO - Thing is, with frameless doors, I've read (and people have told me) that you have to shut them with less force than a normal door due to the fact that there is no frame holding it in place. Also I've always shut doors gently and considering that I have a MiTo (which is my baby), her slamming caused me to cringe, lol.
mike is just so much more fun to watch
Even though the interior is like a regular car it's still nice I guess
Alfa Romeo is getting it hard now, fucking awesome!
Summer comes sooner!
well thats the amount of force ive shut car doors usually, i guess it does kind of rattle but i don't think it's that much of a big deal. lol there was one car my mum had an audi a3 (1996) and if you slammed the boot closed really hard it would spring back open, lol kind of weird but i just remembered it.
