No problems encountered with this car.
Very well built.
This is a great little car. Good on gas, low maintenance requirements. This car is a real pleasure to drive.
I tuned my Colt. Had a hard time doing this as there are no performance parts available for this car. It responded well to the upgrades.
I reccommend upgrading the stereo system. The factory stereo leaves a little to be desired.
The stock wheels are quite narrow, I recommend replacing the 155 stock with 185 or larger. This improves the handling of the car quite dramatically.
The engine is strong for it's size, and very reliable. Mine responded well to a performance rebuild. I just dyno'd at 186 horsepower.
My name is Alex and I live in Kingston Ontario.
I would love to know how you got 186 horse power out of your car.
Is it a 1.8L or a 1.5L?
I own a 1994 Dodge Colt GS. It has a 1.5L SOHC.
Please let me know.

I have a 93 Summit and I don't think it's possible to get 186hp out of a dinky little car like a Colt, summit. There's a lot of bodykits and spoilers for this car, but so far I have yet to find any good performance mods.
I am going to drop in a 2 liter turbo intercooled out of a Talon TSi. Yes it will fit. With a transfer case out of a Summit Wagon making it 4wd. But if anybody knows any better mods on the stock 1.5, please let me know and thanx. I could use some extra hp for the mean time before I get my new motor.
I have a twelve valve misubishi engine in my 1994 dodge colt. I want to gain a few ponies out of it. Do you have any ideas on what I can do. If so will you email me at pixiestat@aol.com.
I have a 1.5 L 1989 dodge colt hatchback and I believe it has the same horsepower as your model. I would love to know where to get a body kit and am dying to know how in the name of anything holy you got that little thing to pull 186 hp. It is a mystery to me.

Ps. that stereo is pitiful.
My name is Jeff and I too have a 1989 1.5 litre Dodge Colt, and I also want to know where to find a body kit? If you know anything, please tell me! jeffreyaswan@msn.com
I just purchased a 1994 Dodge Colt 5-speed, two door etc etc. Extremely satisfied with the previous owner's engine mods (including dropping the power steering, which will take some getting used to!) I was wondering WHERE ON EARTH do you find a decent body kit for a 2-door 94 Colt???
PLEASE e-mail me with info, the stock look on this car has to go to fit my ego.
Thanks
