In anticipation of the probability that no one on here has one, have a read of this. I would avoid if I were you.

I think they're cute a hell with their little 'face' and can't really answer you other than to say my Dad loves Alfas but says he'd never own one, as he 'doesn't need to look glamorous broken down at the side of the road'.

I’ve got one. Had it for three years now and I have only one problem with it. The battery shorted so it would not start. Soon got that fixed. It has some little quirks as standard that are annoying. i.e. .after three minutes of turning the ignition of the windows won’t work until you turn the ignition back on. Or if you open the door the windows stop working till you turn the ignition on again. Also the clock is not displade un les the ignition is on. You cannot turn the sidelight on when the car is moving you have to be stationery to turn them on? No spare wheel. Just a road side repair kit. The belt buzzer is all ways on so if a rear passenger doesn’t reclip the seat belt before they get out of the car the buzzer will be constantly on. If you get one you can ask the garage to turn the buzzer off as I did. Having said all this I still love my Mito especially the fuel economy I average approx 52 miles to the gallon. Hope this helps.

These are quotes from the very latest Which? Car Guide 2014-15.
"Alfa Romeo. It doesn't seem to matter how poor the cars this brand produces are, owners always seem to love their Alfas. The Guilietta and Mito are past their sell-by dates. Reliability of cars in three year warranty period is the lowest of any brand rated"
