1993 Mitsubishi Colt review from North America
"A great bargain!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the alternator.
General comments?
Extremely good value for the money, both in terms of few repairs, and very good gas mileage.
It handles very well in wet snow, allowing me to travel when other vehicles were stuck.
Not the fastest or strongest engine in its class, but very reliable. I've taken several long trips through mountains with almost no problems.
