Alfa Romeo extends warranty to 5 years on Mito

Alfa Romeo is extending its current three-year warranty by a further two years across the MiTo and Giulietta product ranges to provide retail customers with added peace of mind on their new car purchases. The news comes as the Italian sporting car brand launches the Alfa MiTo TwinAir – featuring the award winning 875cc twin-cylinder turbo engine with variable intake valve technology and sub-100g/km CO2 emissions. The new extended warranty will consist of 36 months’ unlimited mileage warranty, plus a further 24 months’ mechanical warranty on all Alfa MiTo and Giulietta retail purchases. The additional cover protects the vehicle against manufacturer defects and component faults†. Damien Dally, Head of Brand, Alfa Romeo UK says, “Our strategy for the brand is all about attracting new customers. However, we appreciate in the current climate consumers are more risk averse and likely to stay with what they know. “The Alfa Romeo brand has always had a strong emotional pull but we also have complete confidence in its rational credentials and believe our new extended five year warranty provides the retail car buyer with complete peace of mind.” The promotional five-year warranty will be available to retail customers until 30 September 2012.
