On paper the Alfa Romeo MiTo must have seemed like a good idea. With its head-turning style, evocative badge and small dimensions it was aimed straight at successful premium supermini rivals such as the MINI and DS 3.

The styling certainly lives up to its Latin heritage, with its heart-shaped front grille, curvaceous lines and circular tail lights taking their cues from Alfa Romeo’s stunning 8C supercar.
-
Inside it looks the part too, with heavily cowled dials and a dashboard that houses circular ‘eyeball’ air vents.

There’s only a three-door layout and access to the rear seats (you’ll only fit two adults in there) is tight to say the least, with only a small gap between the back of the front seats and door pillar.

And at 270-litres the boot is no more than class competitive, plus its hobbled by a high loading lip.
