Mitsubishi Colt CZT 1.5 Turbo 3d (2005/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Excellent, CD, ESP, Air Con etc etc.
Costs
I am genuinely surprised. I expected sub 30mpg but I find it hard to get below 35mpg with a heavy right foot. Motorway runs return 40+mpg.

On the road
Driving
It's not quite as sharp in the corners than the Mini Cooper but overall very satisfying. No wheel overhangs are a bonus.
Performance
Very quick when turbo kicks in around 2-3K rpm. Feels like it could take more bhp... come on the Evo upgrade!

Living with it
Reliability
I expect good things doing 40K+ miles a year.
Image
This is up to each individual I suppose. It looks menacing with the grills and wheels. Plus there very rare at the moment so that just adds to it's image.
Comfort
Excellent. I test drove a lot of cars, most with rock hard suspension, seat Leon, BMW 1, Mini. This Colt is just about right. Nice and comfortable on motorway/long runs and soaks up bumps in town without being too soft.
