Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4 Turbo Review: The Italian's job

Alfa Romeo has been awfully quiet in the hatch segment, but with this new MiTo, they hope to return with a bang and capture the heart and soul of hot-hatch fans. With those charming looks, it shouldn't be that hard...

Dynamic Driving a first for an Alfa of this size.
What we dislike:
cons
Some interior part feels cheap
cons
intrusive tyre and wind noise
cons
rather busy ride.

With that $88k price-tag, it could potentially turn away some potential buyers. After all, the Volkswagen Golf Sport is more practical, the Peugeot 207 GTi is cheaper, and the Honda Civic Type-R has more purity to its driving feel.

While it still needs some improvement to its ride quality, the MiTo oozes your typical Italian flair. If it's all out to capture hot-hatch fans who list "aesthetics" as their utmost priority, then it will have no problems of doing so - there's no way on earth you can fault its exterior. Ok, so it could do with some extra kits and bigger alloys, but that aside, the car is already such a beauty.

And take my word - it looks really awesome in red.
