Mitsubishi Colt (2004 - 2013) 1.1 CZ1 3d (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Fun to drive, good for money, not the best thing available on market but good for what it has under the bonnet.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Friends love it, it is well styled both inside and out, and both nippy and economical. Parents are happy its a 1.1 not a 2.0, haha.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would consider buying a Ralliart Colt and would love a Lancer Evolution. But a Colt CZ2 does look very nice.

What are you likely to buy next?

Ford Focus Zetec S.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,800

When did you buy the car?

November 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Was a good deal. I was happy with the amount given part-ex and the Colt was in a great condition.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed to upsize from a Daewoo Matiz, so this car was a perfect next step. Good price for what I was getting.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Fun to drive whether you're on an economy run, just idling round a city with its easy city steering or very responsive when in a rush and putting your foot down but can be very noisy at high speeds.

What's it like to park?

Very easy, the front arches are quite wide and can make vision harder but never had a problem myself.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong so far, the engine is starting to get nosier now though.

What's most practical about your car?

The amazing mpg it gives... very economical car but also fun and nippy to drive when you want it to be, quite spacious in the back too as you can put the back seats further back taking away boot space if not needed, very handy!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The on-board computer, the current and average mpg counters are very accurate so it is easy to see how economical you can make your drive.
