1991 Dodge Colt 200GT review from North America
"Bad Resale + Good Reliability = Buy it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission had to be replaced.
Engine supports has to be replaced.
General comments?
This car has the worst resale value of any car on the market-a good thing for the used car buyer. However, keep in mind that for a car that is currently worth about 20$ (despite its impeccable condition) the cost of Mitsubishi parts are astronomical. That means, if you want to claim a broken taillight to your insurance company, they will tell you to scrap the car.
Other than that, this car is a fun little alternative to the Civic. Aside from a couple of stalls (one where I had to push the car out of a car wash) and an inexcusable transmission replacement, the repairs have been fairly routine.
