My car is currently ideal for the frequent stop/start journeys i make in the city connected with my employment. It has a combination of practicality, low running costs and is equally at home on the open road with good performance. Overall it is a stylish and super little car.

Is good for short journeys, suspension is a little hard for longer journeys, and fuel economy is not soo good on the long haul. Within urban driving, is excellent car, easy to handle, fuel efficient, and easy parking.

It was what i had expected, i'm impressed with the fuel consumption and the passenger space. It would be nicer to have a larger luggage space but that is the comprimise i knew i was making when buying the car. The engine is more powerful than i had expected and responds well if speed ior accelleration s required

Great little car. i'd recommend it to anyone who wants a cheap motor thats a decent drive. good amount of extras for the price of the car too. strong engine (if a little loud due it being a 3 cylinder) that's good on fuel consumption and much faster than the styling suggests. good for city driving and surprisingly good for motorway driving due to comfortable seats and, as previously mentioned, good pull from the engine. There's also lots of passenger room which is a shock for the size of this car.

For a small car it does the job - nippy, economical (compared to a mazda rx8) and reliable. Current model mitsubishi colt czt.

The colt czt is a great little car - a real unusual choice means it isn't a common sight on uk roads - a big plus to me (never really liked the over-priced mini). The inside is bigger than it looks and residuals seem solid. It has been totally reliable and a joy to drive. Performance is more than good enough - shows a clean pair of heels to most things and makes overtaking a quick and safe activity. Never fails to make me smile - which can't be bad! Thoroughly recommended.

For most of its life travelling 50K miles per annum. Always started 1st time, 12 week service prices were not excessive. 281K miles at end of life, still doing 58mpg. Repaired radiator/condenser/2 Front discs & pads/1 rear shoes. 4 front and 3 rear tyre set replacements. Uneconomic repair forced scrappage due to EPAS. Can only say fantastic car. Was still on original exhaust. My replacement is guaranteed not to be as good. Mercedes 3 pot engine ahead of its time (GM and Ford have just discovered). Mirage does not have a diesel - a massive error - wise up Mitsubishi!

Better built than expected. Diesel much faster than expected yet still returns 50+mpg. Handling not sporty though. Low profile tyres on alloys make ride a bit crashy round bends. Great on motorways and around town.

No problems except front wheel bearing which broke at 100,000km. Now we passed 200,000km mark without problem. Accelerating good and cornering also. Poor visibility due to A pillar- it's dangerous for pedestrians. And in hot days funny noise from gearbox. No one can find the explanation for this. Cheap windscreen wipers.

70000 miles on the same set of brakes. First light bulb blew last year. Only replaced battery, tyres and cam belt. Never let us down. We would have another new one if they hadn't stopped making 'em. I've had two bmws and this is way better. Super super car. We love our mitzi

Firstly this car is not bad, its just not great, better than an equivalent Renault Clio by a mile. The 1.1L loves town driving, but motorways feels like torture, the engine sits at 4000 rpm at 70mph which feels like i am slowly killing it, and after a particularly long stint on the A34 the chain started to make noises (not looking forward to that bill). I believe the fuel economy is false, i reckon i am getting roughly 35mpg, as you have to push the engine so hard to get anywhere quick, at the same time this severe lack of performance means its safe for a first car and would recommend for that reason. The Colt suffers from horrific under-steer which is dangerous. I have had no reliability issues but i would say that the gearbox is clunky and bad (could be mine) however it is tolerable, and my car was in a good condition. I would recommend this car (especially over the french alternatives), the insurance is cheap (despite the higher than normal insurance group) however if insurance isn't so much of an issue, i would recommend buying something with a larger engine.

Good performance, adequate practicality, relatively stylish. Poor build quality, paintwork finish and awful gearbox. Very good engine but handling leaves a lot to be desired.

Bought as a second choice but have been pleasantly surprised by its versatility. Although it is a small car it behaves like a much larger one. Five doors make a huge difference in a car this size.

Dangerous. The a pillar is so thick that it creates a dangerous blind spot which means a great deal of peering, head turning and dipping at roundabouts and t junctions to make sure the road is clear. As a result i have sold the colt even though it is less than a year old in favour of a peugeot 207 which is altogether a much better car albeit more expensive.
