Mitsubishi Colt (2004 - 2013) 1.3 Juro ClearTec 3d (2011/61) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like it, but its just a colt so not a lot really.

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

Not really the kind of car you get to be noticed.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Perhaps, average mpg hasn't been that great, around 44, so likely a diesel again next.

What are you likely to buy next?

Juke

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£9,000

When did you buy the car?

August 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought with 5k on the clock and around 8 months old, good as new inside and out, had for 9k, apparently 11+ new.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

High spec level for the money.

What was the dealer like?

Not pushy at all which was a nice change, getting a test drive no problem at all, got a good PX price, staff friendly.

What's it like to drive?

Ive gone for a 2.0 to a 1.9 TDI to a 1.3 so performance isn't so easy to judge, on paper 10 to 60 from a 1.3 is pretty good. have to keep the revs up for a good amount of power, the handing is surprisingly good though and the brakes are quite sharp.

What's it like to park?

Easy really, back almost flat, mirrors pretty big.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Once, developed a misfire, apparently due to a washer fluid leaking to one of the cylinders? was told it was common on this model, was fixed in a hour or so, been fine since.

What's most practical about your car?

Surprisingly spacious, im 5"11 and its comfy in the back for me - high roof. With the seats down there's a fair amount of space in the back, boot isnt very big alone though.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Leather interior! cruise control very useful along with the aircon on longer trips.
