For Going for Sprint trim fills some of the gaps in the specification of the cheaper Progression model.

Against If you expect an Alfa to be sporty, you may well be disappointed by this engine's relatively limited performance.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Alfa Romeo Mito range includes a wide range of trim levels and engines. However, the most powerful petrol and diesel engines aren’t available in the more basic trims.

Alfa’s 78bhp 1.4 petrol is the entry-level engine, but there's a pair of stronger novel Multiair units that respond more keenly than conventional engines. Like the frugal 1.3 JDTm, these also have stop-start systems to boost fuel economy and cut emissions. Even the 1.6 JTDm has impressive economy, given how quick it is.

Above the most basic Progression trim is Sprint, which has alloy wheels, while Distinctive models and Quadrifoglio Verde models represent the fagship models.
