Mitsubishi Colt: Your opinions please!

[Bunjiweb]

Well, im thinking about getting one of these next year some time now that I am earning.

I've seen a number of really nice ones on Autotrader and the thought of getting a Saxo has gone straight out the window!

Bear in mind i aint into the whole completly over the top thing but a bit of trim here and there and some alloys goes nicely on the Colt.

Heres one that I've been looking at and I really like...



See here

Anyone other pics of nice looking colts would be appreciated aswell as any advice and opinions.

Mate if your gonna get a 1.6, get the 106gti, there quite rare so u wont look like a towny saxo driver, and there beautiful hatches, doubt many (if any) will dissagree if i said there the nicest hot hatch you can buy.

[Bunjiweb]

no... no.. no

I just want opinions and advice on this car, I dont want to be told what other cars I should look at instead

It will probably last forever, being Jap.

But it's dull as ditch water in my opinion!

[Trash Man]

Driven a friends 1.8 GLXI I think it is, a fair few times and it goes very well indeed. You do need to give it a lot of revs to get it going, but most cars are like that anyway.

Never driven a 106 1.6 so can't compare, but I would have the colt over a saxo anyday.

[TeePee]

Very bad depreiciation, so don't buy new. Main dealers are few and far between, and servicing is expensive.

Personally, I think it's ugly!

[Stringent]

I hear colt, and I think donkey. I think donkey I think ass ...

make what you will of that

[XTR]

dont like em For me its on the same lines as a Rover 214.... Old grandad car...

[Bunjiweb]

hmm....

but what if i said civic.... 1.5lsi hatchback....say.. P reg.

(looks virtually the same but for some reason everyone says they are much nicer).

[Knoxville]

if you said that i'd say ricer

[Russ]

i'd say, go buy the civic, try and get a 1.5 vetec as they let more air be released into the engine at higher revs, giving u an extra burst of speed, lovely ;x

[Howard]

Am I the only one who thinks that Colt isn't bad
That looks like a fairly good price too.

[Raz316]

With alloys, and in a nice colour, I think they are pretty smart

Got that overdrive thing or something havent they?

[Angus]

I learnt to drive in a colt - ok to drive but I wouldn't buy one.

Don't remember what specs it was (it was about 3 years ago)

[Zak33]

Colt....

but lets face facts...it suffers like my Vauxhalls do..form old boy image.

HOWEVER......built to last eternally.

You wanna know what to buy? You'll never find a good enough 106 GTi 16v for sensible money......if ya do, and you can afford to insure it....cool.

Dont like Saxo's cos they are 10-a-penny

Which leaves ya with only about 4 million other cars

Megane...? Good crash test results
Golf...? not a mk3 1.4 or 1.6 cos the gearbox sucks, BUT a newer style one or a Mk3 1.8 Driver?
Clio...ever popular
Focus 1.4 1.6? good drivers car.

[3Dfx]

not a mk3 1.4 or 1.6

Im glad 2.0 wasnt on ya lil list!!!
