This vehicle is truly awsome. I borrowed a friends for the w/e and was totally amazed, it’s very quick and handling is perfect, it’s wierd because to look at the car, you can’t picture it turning so well.. Anyway I’m bying one asap. Oh and the seats are insane they hold on to you like glue, makes u feel very safe.

Just bought one of these 2nd hand last week and it is awesome… I love it. I was downgrading from a larger car and can’t believe I didn’t do that earlier. As for VW, I think that is a brand on the way out. Build quality is being questioned quite a bit, especially since they moved a lot of their “factories” to South Africa…

This is a fun car to drive around, good performance and good on fuel, the only thing that it really lack is the after market parts, however with some right parts this car can stand up well against the rest of the competition even in terms of after market

I love it! it is literally a mini-evo, I bet it’s good on the insurance too.

Lookswise at the front, it’s great, I don’t know about the rear though and the fact it looks like a mini people carrier from the side.

It is definitely something a bit special though. Anyone know if this is a limited run thing? when ralliart gets involved they seem to like their limited editions

I have owned one for 5 months and they are great. A few minor downfalls such as road noise and no cruise control but 5 year warranty and blasts a XR4/Polo GTI for performance and individuality. Much safer than the motorbike I sold and great on fuel – 8ltr/100 even when thrashed

Considering you can buy a Ralliart for $25,990 Drive Away Brand new, as per the national advertising campaign, that changes the whole dynamics of the competition. Maybe if the Polo was 25K driveway it could be comparable, but since it’s now well over 7K more on road, then its VERY hard to go past EVO’s little brother.

I bought one for the wife, I love driving the car and being a large person 6″ and over 100Kilos I can sit in the back seat very easily. Its a great car that handles, stops and goes and doesnt look like everything else on the road.
2 thumbs up to Mitsubishi, Well done!

When you drive one of these things will be the only time you will really appreciate how much fun it is, this is all about the rally winning heritage Mitsubishi has earned.
Wait for the Lancer EvoX and even the Ralliart variants this year.

I think these are cool, had a look on carsales.com.au and they can be had 2nd hand with less than 10,000 km on them for around $20k, which is damn good I think, tho it doesn’t bode well for future resale value

Out of these five cars what would you rather buy…………………

Peugeot 207 GT ($31,990)
VW Polo GTi ($26,990)
Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart ($29,990)
Suzuki Swift Sport ($23,990)

Grant – the Colt Ralliart will hammer the Polo (that’s with the APR ecu flash) on any twisty section you care to name.

Duck, the golf is not cheaper (around $40k)

your thinking of the vw polo gti at $27k

for less than $2000 you can give the polo an APR ecu flash and it makes 150kw and 320nm. eat that colt

It does look like it has five seats, but i heard it only has four (roadahead mag)and a 3 star ANCAP is pretty bad!

Golf is better and cheaper! Has 5 seats! The Colt only has four!

I would still prefer Suzuki Swift Sprots, looks better. But don’t know about the performance, maybe if Suzuki release one with a turbo, maybe….
