2006 Mitsubishi Colt Reviews - Page 2 of 2

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.

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.

Nothing.

What an excellent small car. Looking for a car with economy in mind over any performance, I was drawn to the Colt 1.5 Diesel from the views of previous posters.

The cabin is like a tardis, and as I have owned a Mitsubishi before, I knew the reliability of the make.

I did consider a 207, but the quality and price of the Colt did persuade me.

I just cannot believe the performance, and torque of such a small engine, it feels much quicker than my previous 1.9 DiDS, and handles far better on the minor roads.

No faults at all.

Comfortable

Cabin is a nice place to be - particularly in the dark

Very economical, 40ish mpg local up to 50ish on long rural runs.

Nothing at all.

A good car at the price.

Not as refined as the Yaris or Jazz, so don't pay over the odds for one.

The cheapest model is the best. Don't spend 10k on one because there are better cars for that sort of money, however if you spent less than £7k like me its not a bad deal.

The car was immaculately prepared for my collection by the Mitsubishi Main dealer and has been fault free in the 6 weeks that I have owned it.

However, in the unlikely event that anything should, I also like the peace of mind that comes with the 3 year unlimited mileage warranty.

Like all Mitsubishi vehicles, it's well screwed together (my previous vehicle was a Shogun Pinin).

There's a lot of plastic in the cabin, but the overall result is good quality and pleasing on the eye.

The front pillars do slightly obstruct the natural view in the '10-to-2' position, but you soon learn to make allowances.

Very roomy inside and I doubt that you'll find anything else in its class that will beat it, especially when you factor in the flexibility of the sliding rear seats.

The Direct Injection Diesel unit is a delight. It's very 'torquey', pulling strongly in all gears and you're only really aware of it's sound on starting or when pressing the engine hard. It's also very frugal and I'm averaging 50+ mpg, a figure that I expect to improve as the engine loosens up.

It has stunningly good looks and, until the rest of the UK public catches on to what their missing, it also has rarity.

Everything is perfect, nothing to complain about.

I believe this is the best small car of its time!

See below and you will find why.

I read all the reviews about Mitsubishi before buying it. I have to admit that I was expecting less car than it is. Everyone here complains about the noise in the small Mitsu, but I think they are not right. I had a Nissan Micra K12, the new Micra, before the Mitsu, and I have to say that that was a really noisy car.

The Colt has a very efficient transmission system, which is very easy to learn, and I have to admit that it is very good on the road.

If anybody asks me, I say, BUY IT NOW.
