How would the community modify an Alfa Romeo MiTo?
by Sukhmandeep Kaurover 1 year ago0 views10 comments
Like many cars in its class, the Alfa Romeo MiTo has gained a following of enthusiasts wanting to mod and personalize their cars. This has caused much debate over how to improve the MiTo's performance, looks and overall driveability. Almost always, it covers the most popular modifications on the engine tuning, suspension and cosmetic changes. Which mods will give you the best value for your money is debated, and how the car's reliability or resale value could be affected by mods. For the purists, the MiTo should be left in stock trim in order to maintain its original character, while others view it as a master canvas, to personalize. He also discusses how aftermarket parts are available to the MiTo versus cars like MINI Cooper which are much more popular among tuners. Enthusiasts give their opinions on how different modifications affect the MiTo's driving dynamics or appearance, and share their experiences with different accessories and how they've changed their car.

I believe the trick with modding the MiTo is to accentuate its Italian character. Get mods that make it feel more like a proper Alfa (not trying to make it into something it’s not).

Modding is fun, but it’s worth thinking about how that affects resale value. A modded MiTo will have some buyers falling in love with it, others will run a mile. The extent of the work depends on your long term plans for the car.

I love seeing modified MiTos. That proves that people are passionate about these cars. It’s all cool in my book, whether it’s a subtle tweak or a full-on project car.

None of the mods I did to my MiTo made more difference to its handling than a good set of tires. The simplest of things can be the most effective.

I’m all for performance mods, but I wouldn’t do major engine work. These are pretty complicated MultiAir engines and messing around with them too much can cause reliability issues.

The issue with modding the MiTo is parts availability. It's not like a MINI or a Golf where you can see stuff everywhere. Good quality parts are really hard to come by.

I have seen some really tastefully modded MiTos, and some absolute disasters. It's all about subtlety. Don't try to make it something it is not, enhance what is already there.

The biggest difference for me was suspension upgrades. Lowering springs and different shocks really tightened up the handling. Now, it's much more fun in the corners.

I think the MiTo looks best stock, personally. The designers at Alfa knew what they were doing. Maybe some nice wheels, but anything beyond that just ruins the lines.

And I’ve done a few mods to my MiTo, which have been a blast. The MultiAir engine is really woken up by a simple ECU remap. Now it feels like a different car!
