Mitsubishi Colt (96-04)

Ratings

2 stars

Summary

Not recommended. The Colt supermini has failed to keep up with the pace of other modern city cars. It's been around for years and is long overdue for a replacement.

Review

Mitsubishi's entry in the city hatchback market is well past its sell by date. Colt has been around for years and despite price cuts and model revisions, it looks uninspiring and unremarkable. Only 1.3 or 1.6 petrol models are available with modest performance and average fuel economy. There's no five-door version and space in the rear is restricted. On the plus side, the warranty is strong and prices are competitive - although depreciation is heavy if you are buying new. For the same money you could be driving an up-to-date Citroen C3 or Peugeot 206.
