That's quite the commute. I suggest the taxi to save you some time.
I'm not sure if there's "speedy" services available here in the GTA.
Speedy services are transportation services similar to taxis, however, they only charge one flat fee to drive the client anywhere within a specific region.

Mississauga Transit doesn't exist anymore. Our mayor Hazel McCallion decided that it was costing too much money for the taxpayers so she scrapped the service and has replaced it with slower but far cheaper horse and buggies. So take the subway to Kipling and follow your nose to the horses. :razz:

This I think would be your best bet...since I'm not sure exactly where on Dixon you are going. So go to Spadina Subway station and get on the 58 bus. 58A goes to the airport and 58B goes all the way to Westwood mall in Malton.

take this bus all the way to Westwood mall. Get off, and ask one of the locals how to get the rest of the way. if they can't help you, walk through Elmcreek park and ask someone there.

(Assuming the OP didn't mean Dixie and 401, because he/she mentioned "Mississauga Transit" in the title...)
The alternative is to take the subway all the way to Kipling station and hop on the Martin Grove bus all the way up to Dixon, which takes you right to where Dixon meets Hwy 401.
Here is the TTC link (http://www3.ttc.ca/Routes/46/Map.jsp) for the Martin Grove bus.

Call mississauga transit/TTC.
BTW, what hot deal did you find that's worth this commute?

Why go to Westwood Mall? The location OP wanted (Dixon/401) is on the image you quoted between Carlingview and Jetliner Dr., in Etobicoke not Mississauga.

Between Carlingview and Jetliner is actually Hwy 427, not 401. ;)

That is why I figured I'll post the image...like I said on my post...not sure exactly where on Dixon. OP mentioned Dixon/401...which I presume is generalized...could actually be further west/east/north or south. At least in the image it shows other intersecting streets which OP can figure out where they are going.
Specifically Dixon runs underneath the 401 just east of Martingrove Rd.
