    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I honestly can't think of any other car that's better value, performance, build quality, reliability; the Colts got it all.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Can't complain here, as with anything parts from a dealer will be costly, but there are plenty of parts cheaper from other sources.

    A fantastic car to drive! A good balance of performance and quality.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent performance for a 1.3, it handles well in the corners, acceleration is good, as is the top speed.

    I think this car looks great, and as there aren't many around these days it makes a welcome site to see a Colt on the roads

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good, the engine isn't too noisy at cursing speed. The seats are firm but commutable. Rear leg room is all that lets it down here.

    Service
