1998 Mitsubishi Colt 1.4
Summary:
Awesome little car!!!
Faults:
At 130,000km, the clutch had to be replaced.
At 70,000 and 150,000, brake pads and discs.
Seats are in a pretty bad nick from usual wear and tear. Definitely requires seat covers, as the original fabric is pretty ordinary.
A slight squeal in the steering wheel from plastic at the back of the wheel rubbing against the base; nothing serious, but slightly annoying.
General Comments:
Just an awesome little car.
Fantastic reliability, awesome handling for a small/cheap car.
The engine at low speeds is really responsive, and the low centre of gravity creates really nice handling. A bit of a weak front, tends to understeer in corners, but otherwise performance well above its price point.
Indestructible, just keeps on going.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
