Mitsubishi Colt 1.5 CZT

[Hoochie]

Anyone have any experience of these little things??

Well since i'm sick to the back teeth of looking at Astra sri/gsi's and Fiesta ST/Zetec s's

We came across one of these things on Autotrader, and couldn't believe they have more power than my pug gti :wtf: and don't look too bad.

Anyway insurance was looking at being more too, till today when i got a decent quote from our friends at at Sky......:d

Could do with some feedback please, good or bad, as we know fook all about these cars.

Cheers in advance.....:thumb:

Yep, Hayley has one.

Its a decent little car. Good power, lightweight - will outrun an XE Nova - lots of room inside, comfy. Handling is a bit squiffy at times, but should be a massive improvement on your pug.

Mitsubishi customer service is crap though lol

[edit] You won't get much info from coltuk, when I had a nose on there I seem to recall not many of them had CZT's. And I'm pretty sure thats the forum where someone was trying to turn off traction control by driving along and randomly pulling fuses out lol :wisewood: :tard:

I lurve it. Id agree that the handling is a bit wonky at times but I think thats coz its like a bloomin high sided van... well compared to Jacks Celica anyway.
The CZT model has got some nice extras and I think it goes well enough.

You got a good quote from sky aye.... Ill remember that for when mine is up for renewal.

I had a Pug before buying this and I WILL NEVER BUY A FRENCH CAR EVER AGAIN! Ive had no mechanical trouble with the colt. touch wood. (snigger)

But the thing you have to remember the most is that Fitzi drives a mitsi. lol

Bloody hell what engine size is it, ive had £40 through my astra since last thursday night when i got it back and ive done 160 miles so far, and ive still got well over quarter of a tank left:d



1.6 16v mk4 astra SXi on a 2003 reg btw:p

I keep notes on my mileage and im averaging over 35mpg. It costs about £65 to fill the tank and im getting about 380 miles out of her.

Thanks Hayley...:)

[Sturge]

If she gets it, the rattle cans will be out at the weekend! lol

[Jack]

I'd be a bit wary tbh, that one is the cheapest on autotrader. Its also had various bits changed. Might be worth seeing if there's any a bit more local to test drive first so you get the feel of them and can spot anything amiss on that one.

If there's one thing I've learned from 6 years of Jap turbo ownership, its cheapest <> best lol

[Hoochie]

At 95 miles away, that one is the closest to us, this was the problem with all cars i was looking at........we seem to be a million miles from civilization..:(
There is 1 on PH which is also in Manc and more miles on it....

Ohhh what to do!!..:confused:

[Hayley]

67 years?!! :eek: how old are you

Make a day trip out of it. so even if the car is gak, you still have something nice to do in that area :thumb:

Get used to it, you ARE in the middle of nowhere now and WILL have to travel for everything. In the last 2 weeks I've done around 800 miles to collect 2 engines.

But if your going down to Manchester there's always the trafford centre or blackpool ain't too far away either.

( more like Royson Vasey)

As it happens this one is just round the corner from the Trafford Centre.... which is 137 miles away, so 411 mile round trip in 2 cars is not good with the price of fuel now.

i'd never buy a car that someone painted the wheels black on... it will have been thrashed....

but i have had a lot to do with mitsubishi vehicles, mostly pickups & a spacestar, and they really are reliable vehicles.. in 4 years of owning the spacestar, we didn't even change a bulb on it.

[Stanley]

[Stanley]

I painted the wheels on my Nova black lol

Agreed on reliability - Hayley's has been good. Thinking about bulbs though, both dipped ones popped within a few months of each other and you better have small japhands to change them lol

If only it still looked like that eh Hayley? lol

I convinced my Mum to buy one after some one set fire to her old car, got £2k off from the scrappage scheme because the old car was still running just a bit burnt.
She wanted something with a bit more poke but still small enough for running about in so I came up with a short list of hatches to test drive. Made it as far as the mitsi garage drove the Swift, not impressed, drove the Ralliart, sold.
Been faultless but to be fair she has only done 8000 miles in it. Once she had run it in I took it for a blast and it goes well, gets a little bit twitchy if you give it real stick. All round tho a cracking car.
