1993 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3

Summary:

A very reliable and nippy car more suited for city driving

Faults:

Nothing went wrong with the car in 15 months of ownership.

General Comments:

The car is small, but quick - excellent for city motoring.

The interior is not world class and the seats are somewhat uncomfortable if driving for long periods of time. Also only available as a 3 door.

The engine is extremely reliable - absolutely nothing went wrong with the car. Reliability is certainly Mitsubishi's strong point.

The revs drop slightly (about 500 revs) when the air conditioning is turned on.

1993 Mitsubishi Colt GLXi 1.6 16v

Summary:

Quick, cheap, practical little beastie

Faults:

Nothing really...

Electric windows are a bit on the crappy side, sometimes they need a little "wobble" to make them work.

And once it got some damp in the ignition. As I thought it was all electronic and far too complicated I took it to the Mitsubishi dealer who wiped it with a rag and charged me about a million quid. Leave the dealers well alone if you can.

General Comments:

This car has good looks (mine has nice alloys) and has decent performance and sharp handling to match. Performance per pound it's a winner.

Watch out as although you can throw it into corners ludicrously fast, when it does let go... bye!

It's good on petrol (40 mpg) and cheap to insure.

On the down side, the typical nasty grey Japanese interior lets it down and the seats are not as supportive as they should be for such a quick little car.

1993 Mitsubishi Colt GLXi 1.6

Summary:

Good, reliable and robust car....

Faults:

Nothing serious, just that the fuel pump which is outside the fuel tank makes a lot of humming noise. The service engineers don't have an idea why it's so noisy.

General Comments:

The car's definitely reliable, but if it had more power it would have been better.

The steering is a bit tight. Can't take a full turn in short places.
