1999 Mitsubishi Colt GL 1.3 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Bad economy, but very reliable. Nippy when it's in the mood
Faults:
Cracked manifold.
Slight rusting underside.
Passenger seat slides.
General Comments:
As far as first cars go, this was pretty good.
Going on the 130000 mile mark, and still no problems since I got it.
Seems to have a mind of its own, as some days it won't overtake a lorry, and others it would floor a Celica.
Absolutely brilliant for reliability, but really let down by fuel efficiency. 34mpg is most I've ever got.
Some new fuel injectors and spark plugs could help here, but I'm still counting the miles until it dies.
Overall fantastic though.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I detect sarcasm in your posting!
Phenomenal it is not! I drove one today for a test drive, and that isn't the word I'd use.
I won't comment on the rest of your posting. LOL.
A Gallardo, Enzo, Veyron are phenomenal, and a Mitsubishi Colt 1.6 isn't LOL.
