Priced agiainst the mini, problem is the mini has a good image and rightly or wrongly is preceived as a high quality brand.
Alfa still don't have this image and I'm not sure if they ever will.
Top of the launch range with leather will be getting on for £16k. Lot of money for a small car with a dealer network that is still not up to the mark.
£16k for a dressed up punto or £16k for a mini, not really that difficult a decision, proven residuals, proven build quality/reliability etc.
The big thing in the Mito's favour is it will be loaded with equipment - if it works.
Would like the Mito to be a success but IT IS a dressed up Punto.
