The MiTo does have a bit of a rougher edge than my friend's Audi A1. But the Audi is more refined, the Alfa more raw. It all depends on what you’re after.

People expect too much from the MiTo, I think. This is not a sports car, it’s a sporty supermini. I think it drives great for what it is. Around town, it's zippy, and it can still be fun on a back road.

My MiTo has a MultiAir engine, which is a gem. It’s responsive and has a nice little growl to it. A bit more exciting than your average small car makes everyday driving.

My MiTo’s driving experience is a bit disappointing. The DNA system is cool but even in Dynamic mode it doesn’t feel as sharp as I would have expected from an Alfa. In terms of go kart like handling, the MINI has the edge.

The MiTo is a good compromise for me. It’s more comfortable than a MINI for daily driving but still puts a smile on your face if you ask it to. It's a good all-rounder.

For me, the standout feature is the steering feel. It is way more direct and communicative than most cars at this class. It makes you feel closer to the road.

The MiTo, I think, drives well, but it doesn't quite take you all the way to the full Alfa Romeo experience. It's like Alfa-lite. Fun, but not as engaging as their bigger models.

And I’ve done a few mods to my MiTo, which have been a blast. The MultiAir engine is really woken up by a simple ECU remap. Now it feels like a different car!

I think the MiTo looks best stock, personally. The designers at Alfa knew what they were doing. Maybe some nice wheels, but anything beyond that just ruins the lines.

The biggest difference for me was suspension upgrades. Lowering springs and different shocks really tightened up the handling. Now, it's much more fun in the corners.

I have seen some really tastefully modded MiTos, and some absolute disasters. It's all about subtlety. Don't try to make it something it is not, enhance what is already there.

The issue with modding the MiTo is parts availability. It's not like a MINI or a Golf where you can see stuff everywhere. Good quality parts are really hard to come by.

I’m all for performance mods, but I wouldn’t do major engine work. These are pretty complicated MultiAir engines and messing around with them too much can cause reliability issues.

None of the mods I did to my MiTo made more difference to its handling than a good set of tires. The simplest of things can be the most effective.

I love seeing modified MiTos. That proves that people are passionate about these cars. It’s all cool in my book, whether it’s a subtle tweak or a full-on project car.

Modding is fun, but it’s worth thinking about how that affects resale value. A modded MiTo will have some buyers falling in love with it, others will run a mile. The extent of the work depends on your long term plans for the car.

I believe the trick with modding the MiTo is to accentuate its Italian character. Get mods that make it feel more like a proper Alfa (not trying to make it into something it’s not).
How reliable is the Alfa Romeo MiTo compared to its rivals?
30 January 2025 09:19
I've had my MiTo for three years now and it’s been surprisingly reliable. Only routine maintenance so far. With newer models, I think Alfa has really stepped up their game.

It’s still an Alfa, let’s be real. Than I'd like to admit mine's been in the shop too. It’s a constant headache of electrical gremlins. The car itself I love but the reliability is certainly not up there with Japanese brands.

My MiTo has actually been more reliable than my friend's MINI. My Alfa has been pretty solid, but the MINI seems to have more quirky issues. Maybe I got lucky?
