1998 Mitsubishi Colt GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Underrated great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
As this was my first car it seemed really nippy though it had to be worked hard to reach higher speed's.
I bought my car for £2200 with 43000 miles on the clock which is an absolute steal and it will run forever.
The build quality is top class as you would expect from Mitsubishi especially when compared to other small hatchback's. Only the interior upholstery was a bit cheap looking.
The styling can be improved with a few aftermarket parts (bigger alloys, tinted windows, etc). This made mine a real head turner and complimented the aggressive front end.
Overall the Colt is a fantastic car and extremely underrated which is a shame as it's big brother the Lancer Evolution is worshiped worldwide. If only Mitsubishi had made a hot hatch version.
