New ALFA ROMEO MITO

The new MiTo in Guildford is available with a diesel or petrol engine, the petrol engine is fundamentally a 1.4 litre unit with different power output levels. The petrol unit also comes with the new MultiAir technology which responds more keenly and is cleaner than conventional engines. The diesel engine is available as either a 1.3 litre or a 1.6 litre, the bigger diesel is much livelier but equally lively, the smaller seems more refined and brisk.

Being a sporty supermini the MiTo tries to handle like a fully fledge sports car, the ride is quite firm and harsh but that hasn't resulted to precise cornering, the MiTo's cornering ability could be better. The Sportiest trim, the Cloverleaf has the best suspension set-up, it corners better and the ride is much more forgiving.

Even the most basic cars come well equipped. The entry SE spec gets air conditioning, sports steering wheel, 16-inch alloys wheels and a brace of airbags. The Sport trim adds more heavily bolstered seats, 17 inch alloy wheels and stiffer suspension, while S-Line means leather seats and some aluminium trim.

If you're considering options to buy a new car, then an Audi leasing plan may be the best option. The Audi badge is sought after second hand, and with the level of fit and finish Audi are putting out now, there is no reason for that to change.
