Alfa Romeo is a quintessentially Italian carmaker known for the style and elegance of its sporty vehicles. In a 2008 episode of Top Gear, Hammond, Clarkson and May set out to prove that you can't be a proper petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa. The brand's iconic status also stretches beyond the small screen, with its cars appearing in a slew of blockbusters, including The Godfather, The Graduate, Octopussy and The Talented Mr Ripley.

At the 2022 Autocar Awards, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was named a future classic, earning praise for being "sublime to drive and beautiful to look at" - a statement that perfectly captures the spirit of the brand.

The Alfa Romeo MiTo is a front-wheel drive three-door supermini introduced in 2008 and discontinued ten years later. Its name combines Torino (Turin) and Milan, the cities where it was designed and built. It has four configurations - MiTo, Speciale, Super and Veloce - with top speeds between 102.5 and 136.1 mph. In the 2010 WhatCar? Reader Awards, the MiTo won 'Best Supermini', finishing top of its class. However, like any model, it has a unique set of common problems, which you can read about in this guide.

Car rust and paint repair is sometimes a necessity for older vehicles and those that have previously been involved in a collision. There are several ways to remove rust, such as mechanical removal (which uses grinders, wire brushes, sand blasters and sandpaper) and acidic rust removal (which involves applying acid to the area).

If the rust is minimal, you could attempt a rust spot repair at home; however, it's easy to cause more damage if you don't follow the proper steps. By comparison, a rusted car frame repair is much more complex. Extensive rust can compromise a vehicle's structural integrity, so it's best to let a professional repair it.

One of the best ways of preventing rust, particularly on your vehicle's chassis, is to book a car underseal specialist who will apply a thick, resilient coating to the underbody, protecting it from stones and debris.
