I love the Ford Fiesta ST, so the thought of a similar sized, more upscale three-door hatchback that could give it a run for its money really appeals to me. Wearing Alfa’s corporate face, the Mito is a bit bug-eyed, yet still endearing.
In its sportiest trim, the Mito uses the same engine as found in the Fiat 500 Abarth, a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that in the Alfa makes 170 HP and 170 lb-ft of torque. That’s quite a bit of power for a 2,579 lbs. car and to ensure the rest of the Mito is as sporty as the engine, the 1.4-liter turbo comes paired to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic and rolls on 215 mm width tires.

Making the Mito even more exotic to me are two other engine choices though. There is a 0.9-liter turbocharged two-cylinder engine that makes 105 HP and 89 lb-ft of torque as well as a 1.6-liter turbocharged diesel engine that puts out 120 HP and 207 lb-ft of torque.
