Mitsubishi Colt 1.5 Sport 5d (2004/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Mine was in mint condition, second hand, ex-demonstrator with 3k on clock. Would not buy brand new.
Costs
Annual servicing at Mitsubishi dealer is expensive. Surprisingly economical with fuel and insurance.

Driving
Pulls well in every gear. Front corner pillars can be obstructive, particularly at roundabouts, but the car's other benefits outweigh this. Widely speculated engine noise is not bad in my opinion. Take a test drive and decide for yourself.
Performance
Likes to be driven at full pelt. It is tempting to play a game with the mpg meter to try and keep the fuel consumption down, I found this a waste of time. It seems just as economical, if not more when you just put your foot down.

Living with it
Reliability
Usual Japanese standards. Never broken down.
Image
Great alloys, modest spoiler and fog lights give it a much slicker look than the other models.
Comfort
Nice interior, driver seat is height adjustable. Good quality seat fabric and leather trim on steering wheel and gear knob.

Security and Service
Security
Remote locking and alarm installed. Don't think alarm is standard though.

Local service centre very friendly, helpful and informative when dealing.
