The name MiTo is an abbreviation of the cities Milano (Milan) and Torino (Turin), it was designed in Milan and was assembled in the Torino; the name is also a play on the Italian word "mito," meaning "myth" or "legend."
Like most new Alfa Romeos the MiTo comes with "Alfa DNA" which is a system that lets the driver choose between different drive settings; Dynamic, Normal, and All-Weather. The selected setting changes the behaviour of the engine, the braking, steering, suspension and gearbox. The MiTo also features a Q2 electronic differential on the front wheels, this system allows for faster and tighter cornering without any loss of traction.

The A1's cabin is by far the best in its class, better than many other cars in higher classes. A lot of the parts are shared with its more expensive bigger brothers, and the quality shows.
With this economy and this level of refinement, especially in a small car, factor in the Audi's legendary build quality and desirability and you get an extremely sought after second hand car. All this keeps residual forecast levels high meaning you can get excellent value if you choose to lease an Audi A1.
