i have bought a second hand colt. previous owned an evo8 and a lancer 1.8 coupe. mitsubishi rocks and people dont know. its a simple rg es colt 1.5 cvt and has everything and more needed to keep the missus happy. if she could drive manual i would have got a ralliart. best bang for buck. beats a yaris and most small cars bang for buck.

The colt seems to be a good buy at the moment,16k for a vrx driveaway,very dubiuos about buying another mitsubishi,owned one once and had that much trouble i would be wary of another maker that use mitsubishi engines,my dad had an 88 colt and that was more trouble than its worth,even the in laws outlander has given them trouble,maybe they need a 5/10 year warranty after all

Just bought a 2009 colt LS auto in NZ.
First impression after 400kms – I did the right thing buying it. The price was right.

Nice to drive and comfortable. CVT is superb.

A bit spartan and old fashioned with few bells and whistles.

Will see how things go.

This review is terribly old. I’m looking at a Colt ES now but this review doesn’t help at all because I can’t compare a 2006 car to the other small cars which you have reviewed right up to the 2009 model. Please test drive the 2008 or 2009 Colt!

I bought a colt ralliart and has blistering power that puts any v6 to shame and only uses 7l/100km. No car is perfect but this sure was worth the small money I paid on road compared to WRX/MPS/MINI CS – Get the TMR upgrade for $500 and you get 128kw/240nm

I bought a 07 colt LS for my partner she loves it. has plenty more power than the lancer and hardly touches the fuel. we previously had a commodore wagon and have not had any problems with interior space. although i wouldnt recomend it to carry prams. Bouth the manual version as the auto sucked way too much power out. But have had problems getting it into reverse on most occasions I think its someone has tried to clen some teeth prior to purchase or there dodgy. If anyone else has had any problems with this it would be good to know.
If you get the windows tinted make sure the window tinter installs a strip of felt on the lower dust shield or you wil have etched tint!!!!
also does anyone know of the size of speakers in the car? the standard stereo sounds average for a new car.
other than that she is in love with her toy and wouldnt trade it for anything.

I recently bought a es cvt . Very unhappy to find my new car wasn’t new at all !! It had 21 k’s on the clock , scratches on the interior centre console, metallic industrial fall out all over the white paint work , and white 2 pack over spray all over the rubber window mouldings and black painted door surrounds!!I was told to bring the car back to the dealer , and that the overspray was buffing compound ! Not the case unfortunately.It will not rub off with a water-damped cloth or with iso-propyl alcohol.Looks like the vehicle has been driven to workshop where it was poorly resprayed to address paint issues, hence the additional Kms on the clock .Don’t know what will happen now. I feel like I have purchased a second hand car.

I’m researching for a new small car and have had a verada for ten years, towing caravan, holidays etc. Very few problems especially first 7 years and have no ‘hangups’ with mitsub. What are these space saving spares that some small cars, such as colt, have. Are they safe?
