Car reviews

If you're after a good value alternative to mainstream hatchbacks like the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, then the Mitsubishi Colt could be the answer. It's unusual styling certainly stands out and thanks to it's tall profile it boasts a spacious cabin with good room for passengers in the back. There's a decent choice of engines including a diesel and it's safe and easy to drive making it good in town - although the large windscreen pillars restrict visibility somewhat. If you can live with the small boot the little Colt represents a well equipped supermini that's comfortable and ideal if you want something a bit different. There's also a convertible version and a hot hatch variant, both of which are covered in separate reviews.
