1992 Mitsubishi Colt GLi 3door review from UK and Ireland

"Truly awful to drive, yet very reliable and cheap to run, very expensive parts"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The front disks needed replacing and couldn't get them anywhere that would fit. I had to go to Mitsubishi and paid £190 (ridiculous price).

Nothing else has gone wrong and many miles have been covered.

General comments?

This car is very very reliable an quiet, but horrible to drive.

The driving position is terrible. we are both 5foot 6 and have to lean back to lower the visor. The seat is like new yet I get a bad back every time I drive more than 20 miles.

The power steering is var to strong and I get no feedback from the road surface so can't judge the grip till the last minute.

She is in showroom condition yet the handling is truly awful, no it isn't the tyres as I've tried Yokohama (not bad) Uniroyal (awful) Falcon (much better).

My girlfriend has spun in this car and she drives well and carefully.

This car is very reliable and cheap to run (45-50mpg), but insurance is quite high.

I would only recomend this car to people that want reliability with no capability from the car.

I can honestly say I've never hated driving a car as much as this one and I am used to older cheaper cars.

If she wasn't so reliable I would get rid tomorrow.
