Alfa Romeo has added a new trim level in the UK – Sportiva – for both the Alfa MiTo and the Alfa Giulietta. Two cars we like very much – depending on trim and engine – are the Alfa Romeo MiTo and Giulietta. Both offer style and fun at decent prices and make a nice [...]

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Alfa MiTo TwinAir

Alfa Romeo has bolted the 875cc TwinAir engine from the Fiat 500 in to the MiTo to produce a congestion charge busting new MiTo. The new Alfa Romeo MiTo TwinAir is a logical move by Alfa to produce a MiTo with green credentials but which still offer a decent drive and a dose of fun. [...]

Alfa Romeo MiTo & Giulietta 5 Year Warranty – but be quick

Alfa Romeo MiTo & Giulietta 5 Year Warranty

The Alfa MiTo and Alfa Giulietta are to get a 5 Year Warranty from Alfa Romeo in the UK – but there’s a catch. What is it that makes car buyers brand loyal? It’s a good question, and if there was an easy answer car makers would be stealing each others customers at will. For [...]

Alfa Romeo MiTo Cloverleaf Review Exterior

We have the range-topping Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde (Cloverleaf) in for a week for review and test. The Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde (or Alfa MiTo Cloverleaf to us linguistically challenged Brits) is Alfa’s efforts at a proper little hot hatch and gets the very good 170bhp 1.4 litre MultiAir engine under the bonnet, offering real performance promise. [...]

The Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde has broken the world record for bursting balloons filled with water in a car – 2,738 balloons.

Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Ballons

Alfa has taken the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde, set it in to attack mode and created a competition to win an Alfa day at Goodwood. Alfa in the UK rather like a bit of social media promotion. So they’ve set up a competition to promote the quite warm Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio. But instead of [...]

Man vs MiTo: Alfa MiTo races Iwan Thomas through London

Man vs Mito London Race

Alfa Romeo has staged a race between an Alfa MiTo and athlete Iwan Thomas over a 3.8 mile London course to promote UK Athletics.

Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde gets a tweak and a tickle

2011 Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde

Alfa Romeo give the 2011 Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde cosmetic tweaks, with new wheels, new toys and bits of carbon fibre. The Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde already sits at the top of the very appealing MiTo range, but that hasn’t stopped Alfa spreading more Alfa goodness across its bows for the new 2011 model year cars. Don’t get too [...]
