Hi,

Thinking of changing our small car and I keep looking at Alfa Mitos.

Does anyone have any experience of owning or driving one of these cars ? Just after any input really on ownership, common things to look out for for when buying second hand and how they handle the miles.

Looking at the 155 hp 1.4 engined cars specifically (in red of course) as they look great with the Veloce pack on.

thanks

Im sure there the same as a Fiat punto.

It's Czech Mate

Best thing to do with a Mito.......just look at it, they are handsome, and fairly shit

I think its an ugly looking car.

I'm not a fan of the looks but suspension and engine are very decent. Cabins a nice place to be.

Just everyday stuff to look out for I think, good servicing etc.

The misses was looking at these and I have to say, in the right spec and colour they are great lookers. We went to look at a few and found they all seemed to have had a hard life in terms of being scuffed and bumped. Trim seems to wear and scuff easily as well.

i joined the alfa forum and it was good to read up on issues by to be honest, they seemed ok generally.
