Economy
Value
Compared to cars like the Honda Jazz and the VW Polo, the Colt is great value for money, but there are cheaper similar size cars out there.
Costs
My average fuel consumption has so far been just over 40mpg, and that's from a mixture of rural and motorway driving.

Driving
The colt is really easy to drive and the steering is nice and light. Only drawback I've found is the restricted view the windscreen pillars can give when turning into corners. It's great fun to drive though!
Performance
The 1.1 engine is really fun and quite nippy. I found it more enjoyable than the more expensive 1.3 engine.

Reliability
No problems so far.
Image
This is definitely the selling point of the colt. The car looks fab and seems so much more modern than it's rivals. It also seems to be an incredibly rare sight on UK roads. In three months of ownership, I've only seen 4 other colts! Feels exclusive.
Comfort
The seats are very comfy and even after a 2 and 1/2 hour journey, I don't find myself feeling at all tired. The driving position is great and even at 5'10 I still have loads of headroom left.
