Alfa Romeo MiTo Limited Edition by Maserati

Modena, Cairo, Dubai /

The Maserati customer service in Egypt has a very bad reputation, due to the many complaints from Maserati owners, Ferrari owners, Jaguar owners and last but not least Land Rover and Range Rover owners, who are all serviced by one importer, MTI Egypt and MM Group.

Fortunately in Europe it is very different.

One hundred Alfa Romeo MiTos produced exclusively for the Maserati service network will soon be seen on roads all over Europe. Maserati has chosen the Alfa Romeo MiTo as the new courtesy car for its customers, connoisseurs of Italian style with a keen eye for originality.

The special-purpose cars will be styled in the exclusive Maserati Blu Oceano (deep Blue), and fitted with a sparky 1.4 MultiAir Turbobenzina engine (170 hp) - the most powerful engine in the MiTo range.

The cars will not only be distinguished by their unique color, but also by two other exclusive features: the "Limited Edition" plaque on the air conditioning unit, and the kick plate made from specially treated aluminum, bearing the words Alfa Romeo for Maserati.

The 100 cars will also have a series of high-end details, supplied as standard: Pelle Frau upholstery, automatic dual-zone climate control, leather steering wheel complete with radio and telephone controls, a radio navigator covering the whole of Europe, and a hands-free Blue&Me system including USB port and bi-xenon headlights.

The MiTo for Maserati also has a racing temperament. The 18' alloy wheels, rear spoiler, rear bumper and aluminum pedals are all fitted as standard. All the cars will come with Dynamic Suspension, the advanced electronic shock absorber control system that actively varies the set-up to reflect the road conditions and driving style, to guarantee rapid cornering and excellent handling.

Through this partnership with Alfa Romeo, Maserati's European network will be able to offer customers a special car that reflects its own philosophy, where each choice is the product of the utmost attention and care paid to every detail.

It is very unlikely that we would see or experience such a unique 'courtesy' car in Egypt or the Middle East soon, due to the unavailability of Alfa Romeo cars in many Middle Eastern and North African and due to the fact that some Maserati dealer, such as the Maserati dealer MTI in Cairo, do not pay any attention at all neither to their customers in specific nor to the Maserati image in general.
