Mito (Type 955) 2008 - Current

This is my beloved Alfa Romeo MiTo QV, I purchased it in May 2025 as my first car (insurance did not like this). This specific model is Nero Etna and is the Quadrifoglio Verde, featuring the most powerful engine, in the form of the 1.4L Turbocharged MultiAir 4-cylinder featuring 170hp from factory. Exclusive to the Cloverleaf & QV models was the active suspension which featured on no other car in it's class. As of writing, the car has done 76k miles & has had only a few minor issues in my ownership (in which I've covered 10k). It's also getting rare now with only 300 manual examples left on UK roads.

Mito Production:

The MiTo was first presented in 2008 in Milan with an international introduction at the British Motor Show the same year. Production started the same year till it's discontinuation in 2018. It was originally going to be called the Junior but was changed to MiTo as it was designed in Milan and built in Turin (Torino).
