This was a milestone, the first press car that was delivered to my door, after a Pajero died on the highway (more on that later).  Mitsubishi delivered the Colt and picked up the Pajero on a tow truck. It was a good start to the week.

For the first few days I was relatively happy with the car, sure, my partner said it was uglier than a man in the process of removing his goatee, but I fell in love – until I saw the price.

You see I was initially under the impression the Colt Cabriolet was $27,990, which led to a misjudgement. I was thinking: “sure it looks a little odd, has manual lock/release handles for the roof and the interior looks more outdated than John Howard on YouTube, but for $27,990, you can’t go wrong!”  But you can, because list price is actually $37,990! Oh dear.

    *****PRIMO!*****

    “PININFARINA”….nice

    Could be the last car that they build, both them and Bertone and in trouble.

    Only wish is that they stay in Italian hands and not owned by Chinese [Heaven forbid]

    Cheers

    Would have been nice to see some close up photos with the roof on/up also a cooment about the *leg* room in the back seat [Like whats would be the max. height/age of a child that would fit]

    I sat in one of these cars at a Mitsu dealership a few months ago while my mum was picking up her Lancer, and it is so cramped! And I almost hit my head on the A pillar, and I’m only 5″10. It’s really a two-seater with some room for shopping in the back of the cabin.

    Is it just me or do some Cabriolets look like you have come along with an angle grinder and removed the roof….like this one! Some look like purpose built Cabriolets others look like this!

    This car is fantastic….

    Small 1.5L (meaning cheap on petrol), just what you need, considering the price of petrol these days.

    Performance wise, ideal for on-road, inner suburbs/ city.

    Out of all the cars I have driven…I am a true believer in this little car.

    Not for me…prefer the jags myself, however, ideal for a classy lady.
