Mitsubishi Colt (04 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 10 July 2008 Last Updated: 30 April 2009 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 available with either three or five-doors out and thanks to its 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 small hatch that's comfortable and ideal if you want something a bit different. It was facelifted in late 2008 with a very different front end and more boot space, but the interior and engines remain largely unchanged. 3 out of 5 Other Mitsubishi reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £9,505 - £11,990 View all new prices Used price range: £1,404 - £8,692 View all used prices Get a Mitsubishi Colt (04 on) information pack Next steps Mitsubishi Colt cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
