1993 Mitsubishi Colt GLi review from Romania
"Colt rulz!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The distribution needs to be changed and it's really expensive, not the cable, but the guys from the service are charging about 150 euros for the work, without the distribution cable. But then again, they are charging about 50 euros for an oil change.
The drivers seat belt enclosure is broken, so I have to lock my seat belt in the passenger's place.
General comments?
It's a pretty fast car, 1.3 engine and only 910kg. It's just great in the city, it's not that small, but it still makes its way through the crowd.
I think that it's a good car because it's the car I'm learning to drive on, and I had the chance to drive newer cars, and this one seems easier to drive, and in almost 7000 km I didn't have any engine issues, didn't have to repair anything.
Plus, when you have a classic like the Colt series, you make a pretty nice impression on the road.
