Alfa Romeo Mito 2017 Review - Alfa Style In A Supermini Package - Car Keys

- Just to nip the whole “haw haw Alfa reliability” thing in the bud, yes that’s a space saver wheel in some of the shots in this video. Just a puncture, that’s all…
Anyway, the Mito is a car which aims to bring Alfa Romeo’s signature desirability and sports car pedigree to the supermini market, but while it’s certainly an extremely good looking thing, it’s never been quite the hit that Alfa would have liked.
As a result, it’s been given a mild facelift last year along with its Giulietta sibling, with new looks, new trims and a new diesel engine. Does it finally deliver the goods in the way everyone wants it to?

CAR KEYS COMPETITION TIME!
First person to notice the spare wheel wins a biscuit!
Oh wait..
Listen, these things happen, guys. We only get press cars in for a VERY small window of time. We literally get one chance to film the review in this time frame and the show must go on, regardless. Come rain or shine, whether we're ill, or battling storms with silly names, and yes, EVEN if we have somehow managed to run over a nine inch nail in the middle of a shoot! It's either that, or no video!
Peace and love,
Sean - Car Keys Video Team
Kind of hard to make comments on suspension ,tyre noise ,steering ,performance etc ,when yu have a space saver on ..So for all the cars "faults " I think the presenter has more ...Surely if you are giving a "professional judgement " and you are filming it ,it shouldn't be with a spacesaver..This review can't be taken seriously ..
Don't worry Norb, Ryan had already put his thoughts and opinions together before we got the puncture :)
Car Keys Video Team Next time that happends, put on 4 spare wheels so it looks even and NO one notis that 😂 (you don't have to thank me)
Buying an Alfa's not a rational decision, it's an emotional one. If you wanna be rational buy something else, but there's something about this brand that makes their cars unique.
I agree. The mere sight of the name Alfa Romeo makes my heart beat a little faster.
I bought this car in December 2016 and waited 2 months (until February 2017) for this color to arrive, and I'm enjoying every moment of it.
My Mito QV never lets me down. It is a great car.
I have MiTo, recommend for everyone who seek soul instead of pure mechanics, same goes with lifestyle
Marko Obradovic its actually very fun to drive i have one too
Totally agree with you. Here another MiTo owner.
And another happy one!!..MiTo 1,4 Multiair TB 135 hp....I just love it!!!
Marko Obradovic planning to buy one next winter.. I like the car has personality it's not a dull vw
onewaybadtrip And you won't regrate. I have one since May 2016.. and I love every aspect of this car. Sportive, beautiful, a lot of style.. totally awesome!
I've now had a MiTo Veloce a Giulietta 1.4 Sportiva and now a Giulietta 1750 Veloce and I've enjoyed owning every single one 😊 I've owned a fair few different makes in the past. I think I'll be sticking with Alfa for a while.
Jay Veloce I too have the giulietta veloce😉

my mito is from 2009 and i can tell you all that you can buy every "mini" cars you want but none of them will look as good as an alfa in 10 years. No my mito is not 10 years its from 2009 but look how many years passed by and still looks better than a 2017 a1 or fiesta... it is what it is, an alfa, it may not be the most powerfull car but godamnit is fun to drive
Fun to drive, a great car, and my God, it's so beautiful.. MiTo looks way better than all other more 'modern' cars.
Boo! I love my MITO! :D This is for all the others like me !! single, young, fun and sporty who wants to fit their boyfriend in the passenger seat and have him proud to look good doing it too! Luggage in the backseat and the odd friends on a night out to dinner in the city. The boot is great for gym gear, weekend break luggage and swim equipment and the drive is just fun, get up close to the cockpit and very comfy for long drives - i drive approx. 3-6hrs every other week and use it every day for general commute sometimes up to 1hr. Never had a problem with backpain or anything. I love driving this thing! X Also, had my mito since it first was released and only just had to replace the tyres and headlight. Think that's pretty good going! GO MITO! MITO FOR LIFE haha x
thecupdidit I may have to get this car, has such a bad rep from car companies.. But great responses from people who own one! Do you still have yours by any chance?
Im in love with this review I’ve stumbled across a beautiful old red véloce mito and my heart can’t take it 😍, I’m not huge on car stuff so I’m so glad to hear someone talking about it’s actual comfort ability in long drives thank you!
Mito is still fresh in what is now the dull as dishwater supermini segment. A VW Polo May be more sophisticated but no-one ever mentions it’s painfully dull inside and out and has zero soul whatsoever! It’s sophisticated transport and that is it. Nothing else interesting. The Mito has bags of character and always a delight to look at.
Had my 1.4 Mito Lusso since new in 2011. Reliability very good. Only had one fault in 6 years - the power window regulator failed and was replaced under warranty and that's it. Running costs are decent. Show it a bit of TLC with an annual, thorough service and it will reward you.
Sure. Maybe it doesn't have the biggest screen or the best sound as the other competitors in the segment (Audi, Mini, Ford), but I can assure you, its competitors' drivers drools every time they see my MITO on the road.
Besides, no one can deny the exclusiveness that Alfa Romeo offers. And the superminis are all about passion not rationality. And the MITO reflects the passion Alfa Romeo puts in every car they made. You want to be cool and tacky? There's the Minis. You want to feel unique? There's the Alfas.
Love MiTo, such a beauty.
When will car reviewers stop banging on about infotainment screens and pocket storage! For god sake stop being lazy and review a car on its its use on a day to day basis. If you want storage buy a bigger car! Is this what a Good car boils down to these days. Perhaps the reason the handling was not up to what you expected "Car Keys UK" was because of the space saver. Reliability well I have owned two of these now both from new covering 120,000 mile between both cars and they have been super reliable never breaking down and cost very little to run free road TAX on the JTDM2 and £20 per year on the other. They are second hand cars only now having been discontinued but I recommend them all day. Im a driving Instructor and use them for teaching so they get a lot of abuse and stand up to it very well.
Unfortunately there are bad car reviewers. This is one of them. He reviews a small car then complains about the lack of space. If you want space then buy a big car.
There are certain people who happen to like and own these cars. They are not for everyone just like a vw beetle. He complains about the plastics used in the interior. That material happens to be strong and has longevity compared to cloth or even leather. Easier to clean also. Plastic happens to be an expensive material also.
So my review of this car reviewer is that he falls into the bogus category sorry.
He did the car a great disservice and probably insulted many potential buyers by driving it with a spare wheel. Did not even try to do a decent review of the car by getting the flat repaired.
Slightly negative review, the car doesn't deserve that.
driving the car on a spare....................
What gave it away? We got a small puncture on the way to the shoot Chris! 😞
there are some shots that the spare is obvious, despite the good camera work
Does this car have a spare? My mito (2009) doesn't...
Dude, no wonder it's not driving well. You're testing it on a space saver..... I own one of these and it's brilliant.
my sister has a mito and it is honestly the best car she has had.
I've got a Mito - a multiair turbo - and I love it as most owners do. Sure it's got its faults but I'd be more than happy if the motoring journalists gave it 0 out of 5 because they don't really understand what owner satisfaction really amounts to. They are probably quite right in what they say but they miss the whole point of what it means to love a car. Let's face it, there are no bad cars these days, just preferences, and they are purely subjective and the only really meaningful criteria for deciding what to drive.
Great comment Rose, very well put :)!
Fed up with reviewers moaning about getting in and out of two door coupe - what do you expect!
I own a 2012 1.6 diesel Mito (1.6 D now not available new). I really enjoy the car, although I agree that the ride is poor. It's got a strong engine, enjoyable to drive and very well equipped and practical compared to a Mini. My sister owns a Mini and having driven both I'd chose the Mito any day - comfier seats, more equipment, faster, not common and more practical.
I have loved this car more than my (well, our household's) current Audi A1 1.4TFSI 122hp. Better value for money, and just a nicer car to be in of our, equally expensive A1. Only wished we had a stronger engine in the MiTo (we had the 1.4 78hp) and that the steering had more response but well, although it is a Fiat Punto, the Alfa Romeo is just more original to have among the Polo and Fiesta, for example.
Why why why do reviewers always compare the Mito to the Fiesta, Polo et al. I`m sure people looking for an Alfa couldn`t give a flying fcuk how a Fiesta boot space compares.
You can check everywhere and all sources will tell you that this car is reliable. Best car in its class!!
I breath heavily every freaking time I see a MiTo...
Looks amazing, like any other alfa
Did you hole the left front wheel :( ? I see the spare wheel
Btw I don't really like the Mito''s driving feel. It's not really "Alfa Romeo" 's driving feel, I don't know how to really explain that. It's more like driving a Fiat than and Alfa Romeo. Just that. :p
Anyway, one last question: does it exist an LPG version of the Mito in the UK like it exist in Italy? Just curiosity, I don't really know if you use LPG too in the UK, but here they sold many Mito with that.
burst tyre, noticed the thin, orange space saver😂
Ooops!
On my 2nd Mito. 0.9 twinair. I love it!
What happened to the first one? Looking out for a 0.9 twinair too at the moment!
This guy starts with the intent of pulling it to pieces. 'Getting in and out is a bit of a pain' What ? he was straight in and out!!! I recognise nothing this guy says. We have a 2016 170 BHP Veloce, and we love it. We also have a 4c , and the press were equally as scathing about that too, and it's a simply awesome car.
This must be one of the worst reviews I've ever watched....... having a Stelvio Quadrifoglio as a daily driver, I sometimes use my wives MiTo (2017) ... I can tell you as a Stelvio Q driver, that her MiTo is a great little car..... not like you try to let other people to believe who don't have any Alfa experience....
Surely you can't give an accurate opinion when you are driving with a space saver on the front ??? And really the clutch is too soft ???
He's driving with the small spare tire and says it lacks handling...
I doubt you'll see any Polos and A1s in an Asda carpark - im talking corsas and Mazda2s:)
Its almost an inbetween class car, not quite a supermini but a little larger than your city cars...
Why review car fitted with the tiny spare wheel? Why not go to a tyre shop and change the tyre? There’s no way you can review the Dynamics of the mito with a thin tyre in the left front wheel. It’s a very good sporty small car...doesn’t deserve this treatment...
I don’t understand the story about windnoise………… after driving a Mito for almost two years now.
If this one goes from 0-60 in 12 seconds probably has the TwinAir motor which only has 2 cilinders. There are 4 cilinder version out there which are a lot faster.
don't listen to that fool, the Coure Sportivo is there and it ain't unreliable.
ngl that's the most negative review I've seen about the mito
Can you guys do a review on cars that have the best insurance for young drivers I.e. Under 25?
Sam Parker definitely look at the swift sport, cheap to run, pretty loaded interior and similar dimensions and power to weight as new mx5! I love mine
That sounds like a good video Sam, we'll keep it in mind. Cheers for watching!
Maybe you should ne reviewing SHAMPOOS?
Am i the only one who noticed that he cooked his brakes 2.25?
malekighomi looks like a biscuit tyre
MR Poven hahaha! Italians are famous for their biscuit tyres!
malekighomi that's an orange sticker on the spare wheel
Why is this review being done on a spare..
Puncture on our way to the shoot guys. The show must go on!
Please... ABSOLUTELY DO NOT even mention a word "Fiesta" in the same sentence with this car. They are two different worlds. The only thing they got in common is they both are motor vehicles.
If you're a true car lover and reviewer, I don't need to explain further.
is he underwater, that voice,
use tyre saver?.... makes this car more ugly
Have my '09 1.4 Turbo for close to a year now...
It's been my dream car for years, in fact since I've seen it appear in the 2012 NFS MW.
It feels great to drive, fuel economy is okay, the interior is roomy for a coupe and part replacement is wider thanks to Fiat.
This review is bad since you compare a small coupe hatchback like it supposed to be a 4 door sedan...come on
For crying out loud... Clean the car before shooting... Wtf!
If I was buying a Supermini then I choose the New Ford Fiesta or the New Seat Ibiza
Aren't they dropped now?
And yet, here's the 2017 model! 😀
It no longer appears on the official Alfa site, so I guess, sadly, it has been discontinued.
Doing a review on a biscuit 🙄🤦🏼♂️
This is my general feeling toward Alfas. I like the idea of them they look so good inside and out; but owning one? I cannot bring myself to consider it... well apart from the Guila Quadrifoglio.
i have had 6 of them the last 20 years.. i have had 7 cars in total. The worst car i have owned was german in terms of cost to the mecanic!!
We have a 4c ....you would sell your kidney for one.
I am happy that he is being honest just get a ford fiesta
Shahidul chow fiesta is good, but please....mito is a way better car...
I hate the Fiesta's styling... Especially the tail...
I think the older ones looked better, but I'm not in the market for an old car.
Hi there. Only just watched this. Not being honest really; he didn't mention that he's 'testing' the car with a space saver, speed restricted, narrow spare wheel, front left. Therefore he's in no position to comment on the cars handling and ride because he doesn't know. Tut tut...naughty.
This guy is very biased
The Fiat group badly need to renew its model and engine lineup, since even korean and french manufacturers have overtaken them in bounds and leaps. Even Alfa themselfes dont believe in the Mito, since it was announced years ago, it will not have a replacement, when its production cycle stop within the next year or so.
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Fiat 500 X is sort of ok, and the 124 spider is cool. But its essentially just a Mazda MX5 and much more expensive than the original, so why buy the copy? Even the new Tipo is frankly a bit of a dissapointment, since its basically just a budget car made for developing market, and its not even that much cheaper than significantly more modern rivals like the Seat Leon or Hyundai i30.
For now the only really attractive models from the Fiat group are Ferrari, if you can affor it, and the new Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio RWD models. I am happy, that they invested to develop those, but I cant help thinking, that it would have been better, if they had developed a new Punto and some new engines for their regular cars.
This 1,25 liter diesel for instance has been around for almost 2 decades, its noise, it suffer from turbolag, and its fuel consumption is only average. And frankly the engine lineup has always let the Mito down. I mean: Who is buying an Alfa Romeo, because its slower and has a worse engine than a significantly cheaper french car?
It's a 10yrs old model, it has nothing to do with the new Alfa products and all they should do is retire it from market or it will spoil the new image the company is trying to build. Same thing for the Giulietta, still pretty but way too old.
Remember when folks used to own a car for 30 years? Of corse you don't, you're 15.
Drove one of these today and had to rush to watch reviews to check that they actually tell you how awful this car is.
Literally nothing is good about this car other than the looks. The steering wheel is too big, the seats are shit, the gearbox is abysmal and feels like it's made out of plastic, the engine is horrendous (I drove the 0.9) and the clutch has no feel.
I cannot stress enough how shit this car is. I've driven a 400,000 mile Vauxhall vectra through work and it was better than this.
This car is dog shit.
Yeah ok.....
