Alfa Romeo Deals

Last June 24, 2010, Alfa Romeo celebrated its 100th year, having been founded way back in 1910 by Italian aristocrat Cavaliere Ugo Stella, a man who decided that he wanted to create both road and race cars that suited his style and vision of what cars should be like. With that dream in mind, Cavaliere set out to found this car company, and quickly began to take the automotive world by storm. His early racing cars quickly became successful, winning many championship races through the skills of famous drivers like Giuseppe Campari and Enzo Ferrari.
His successes, while quick, were unfortunately halted due to the onset of the 2nd World War. During the war, Alfa Romeo's main factory was bombed and destroyed, bringing the company to financial ruin, threatening the company's existence. They adapted, however, resorting to creating smaller road cars that would be reliable, high performance, still stylish, and relatively affordable. This new direction gave Alfa a chance to shine, quickly becoming popular in the European market. Despite this, however, Romeo would not be a truly global name, until the arrival of one Hollywood movie.
"The Graduate" is a classic film starring Dustin Hoffman, and is known the world over due to its story and ground breaking plot. And it is in this movie that Romeo would be seen by the whole of the world, through the Spider. The Spider is a beautiful car, and its various incarnations have become successful during their runs. It is so successful that there's a new one slated to be unveiled in 2013, much to the delight of many Romeo fans.



Yet despite Alfa's popularity in road cars, it is in racing that the company will truly be remembered. It was an Alfa Romeo car that won, not just the very first, but also the second Formula One World Championship, back in 1950 and 1951 respectively. This desire for winning in races lives on today, with modern Alfa cars winning the European Touring Car Championship and the Italian Super Touring Car Championship in recent years.
Nevertheless, to the rest of the public, it is Alfa Romeo's road cars that are of interest. Many people continuously look for the best Alfa Romeo deals available, to get a piece of their history.
Here is more information on Alfa Romeo deals and the Alfa Romeo cars.

Alfa Romeo - MiTo

Alfa Romeo introduced the MiTo in 2008; it is a supermini that competes with the likes of Audi's new A1 and the Mini. The little three door hatchback is front wheel drive, just like most of its competitors, resulting in an exciting and lively driving experience.
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 new MiTo in Guildford is available with a diesel or petrol engine, the petrol engine is fundamentally a 1.4 litre unit with different power output levels. The petrol unit also comes with the new MultiAir technology which responds more keenly and is cleaner than conventional engines. The diesel engine is available as either a 1.3 litre or a 1.6 litre, the bigger diesel is much livelier but equally lively, the smaller seems more refined and brisk.
Being a sporty supermini the MiTo tries to handle like a fully fledge sports car, the ride is quite firm and harsh but that hasn't resulted to precise cornering, the MiTo's cornering ability could be better. The Sportiest trim, the Cloverleaf has the best suspension set-up, it corners better and the ride is much more forgiving.
