When it comes to chic subcompact cars, it's hard to ignore the Alfa Romeo MiTo. It may be getting a bit gray-haired now (launched in 2008) and the GM Fiat Small platform is even older, but you know what? The Opel Corsa E is underpinned by that platform as well, so do these details actually matter?
With the Alfa Romeo MiTo Junior they don’t, to be honest. I mean come on, do you really want to drive this car like you’re some kind of Ayrton Senna? It’s not fitting thing to do anyway you look at it. Superminis were forever about being chic and practical for urban dwelling activities.
Built on the 2014 Alfa Romeo MiTo facelift, the posh MiTo Junior is a variant described by the Italian manufacturer as a car that “evokes [the] spirit of the widely-revered 1966 original.” Aha, right. Nevertheless, we can’t complain about how nice it looks wearing that particular paint, joined by white wheels and side mirror caps and the quirky white decal on the hatch door.
Available with either a 0.9-liter TwinAir 105 HP petrol or a 1.3-liter JTDM-2 85 HP diesel, this baby is priced in the UK from £14,870 OTR or £15,415 OTR, respectively. It may appear to be steeply priced, but do keep in mind that the MiTo Junior is extensively specced from the get-go.
Then again, who could say no a ritzy cabin that benefits from what Alfa calls Junior upholstery, Junior floor mats and a flat-bottom sports steering wheel with contrasting stitching? I admit I can't...
