The front disks needed replacing and couldn't get them anywhere that would fit. I had to go to Mitsubishi and paid £190 (ridiculous price).
Nothing else has gone wrong and many miles have been covered.
This car is very very reliable an quiet, but horrible to drive.
The driving position is terrible. we are both 5foot 6 and have to lean back to lower the visor. The seat is like new yet I get a bad back every time I drive more than 20 miles.
The power steering is var to strong and I get no feedback from the road surface so can't judge the grip till the last minute.
She is in showroom condition yet the handling is truly awful, no it isn't the tyres as I've tried Yokohama (not bad) Uniroyal (awful) Falcon (much better).
My girlfriend has spun in this car and she drives well and carefully.
This car is very reliable and cheap to run (45-50mpg), but insurance is quite high.
I would only recomend this car to people that want reliability with no capability from the car.
I can honestly say I've never hated driving a car as much as this one and I am used to older cheaper cars.
If she wasn't so reliable I would get rid tomorrow.
Have you all been driving the same car. Mine is an R reg colt and it's amazing, handling is perfect and the traction couldn't be better. Great cars for rallying. the best acceleration I've seen in a car!
I'd have to agree that above review is nothing like the Colt I drive. Great response, excellent handling and over all good car.
The plonk got the year wrong, his is the new 2000 colt, not the fun to drive 1992 one.
