1989 Mitsubishi Colt GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
You must, must, must change the timing belt on any Mitsubishi at 60,000 miles. I had a dealer do it the first time and they messed up the timing, causing horrible gas mileage.
Frequently needs front wheel bearings.
General comments?
I love this car - 2500lbs, 160hp, 155 lb-ft of torque - what's not to love? I have put 160,000 fairly hard miles on it and it just keeps going.
