2005 Mitsubishi Colt Inform 5 door 1.3 petrol
Summary:
Would go for Toyota next time
Faults:
No mechanical problems with the car.
Passenger glove box broke within months of getting the car, and the dealer wanted 270 Euros(!!!) to replace it, claiming that I broke it (!!!), so it was not covered by guarantee.
Lots of noise from the interior.
General Comments:
Loads of interior space and removable rear seats like a mini MPV.
Great engine, but VERY noisy.
Thick front windscreen pillars hinder visibility when turning and exiting a junction.
Very quick and with very low fuel consumption. Decent road holding. Ride could be better.
Not terribly happy with the build quality; now that the car is almost 8 years old, it feels noisier than the 1988 Corolla it replaced.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Bad noise from suspension must be a general problem for new colt. I had one in Turkey. I went to service and even though suspension is not a warranty part, regarding to a service announcment, they changed the suspesion tower immediately, sound disappeared.
