Alfa Romeo MiTo in Malaysia for a not-so-cool RM158,888 !

The long wait is finally over, the much sought after Alfa Romeo MiTo is finally here, giving much needed competition for the all conquering Mini Cooper. With a price that undercuts the MIni and offering much more gadgetry, the MiTo seems like a formidable challenger, however with just a 6-speed manual coupled to the 1.4 liter turbocharged engine, its gonna appeal to mostly automotive purists, whereas the common target segment - white collar ladies - might be put off with the more extensive 'footwork' needed going around town. Wait for our review soon.
