Mitsubishi Colt 1600 16V GLXi 3d (1993/K) Owner Review
-
Economy

Radiator cost £110 - otherwise no parts required other than general service items. Running costs OK.

On the road
Driving
Slight understeer - otherwise excellent, especially on motorways.
Performance
Nippy in lower gears. Happy at high speed.

Living with it
Reliability
Just developed damp/cold weather start problem after two years without trouble. WD40 is my new best friend.
Image
Has rear spoiler - no fluffy dice. Looks like storm trooper's helmet - funky.
Comfort
Excellent seats - no backache. Getting in the back is difficult if over 10 years old.
-
Security and Service
Security
Central locking standard. Alarm and immobiliser fitted = no hassles for me.
Service
Avoided main dealer due to cost - hence rating. National autocentres can cope.
