1999 Mitsubishi Colt Mirage review from UK and Ireland
"A beast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front discs tend to heat up very quickly and they have been glowing red on several occasions.
General comments?
The colt is a superb little car, even though the BHP is only 89, the torque that it pushes is phenomenal.
The interior in the Mirage is far superior to that of the other models.
The body kit is also amazing for a factory standard car.
