2006 Mitsubishi Colt Cabriolet review from Australia and New Zealand
"Value for money; Stylish and cute with the roof down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side window is not closing/opening properly. To be fair though, I have not taken the car in as yet for its first service, and have not notified the dealer or manufacturer of the problem as yet.
General comments?
Fantastic value for money for a "second" vehicle - as these are a 2006 model and sold at a heavily discounted price.
It is unfortunately a bit skittish on rough roads when the hardtop roof is open (which takes only 22 seconds to open or close), but as a summer runabout car it is fun to drive, and people are curious as to the manufacturer as it is styled by Pininfarina and is quite stylish.
Being a 1.5, it isn't very quick (isn't exactly slow either), but is very fuel efficient.
I look forward to putting more kilometers on the clock, and keeping readers of this site updated on how the car and I age together.
