THE appeal in the baby Alfa Romeo MiTo has just been widened with the addition of a brand new dual-clutch six-speed automatic transmission, similar to Volkswagen Group’s DSG cog-swappers that could be left to use by themselves or controlled through the gear selector or steering wheel mounted paddles. The transmission is available just with the new mid-range 99kW 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine that uses the newest Fiat MultiAir technology which replaces an inlet camshaft with hydraulically actuated solenoids. The engine has more proceed through more of the rev burns and range cleaner which drives along the fuel consumption to a very impressive 5.5 litres per 100km. That is all of this means.
If you still prefer a manual you can order the entry level 114kW 1.4 turbo or the range-topping 125kW QV.
