The Mitsubishi colt is a small, reliable, inconspicuous city run around. Ideal for anyone who wants an economic solution to getting around town.
Although you’re not going to turn heads in this car, it is by no means ugly. Its has a fresh and funky interior, which sets it apart from the completion. Some of the opaque control knobs are backlight green when it is dark. This further adds to its funky appeal.
There is the usual safety equipment including front bags and ABS amongst other. Some models even include side airbags too.
Even though this is small car, you can still transport a lot around in it. The rear seats easily fold down or they can be removed all together.
The engine sizes come in 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5. The 1.5 also has the option of a turbo and there is a ‘RALLI-ART’ version for those who are a little more adventurous. The larger engine sizes are recommended for those doing longer motorway miles. However the smaller sizes are still pretty quick around town.
This car isn’t going to blow your socks off. It will get you, your family and any belonging to your destination without fail and in good modesty.
Man worried about access in and out of his Mitsubishi Colt asks for help.
A disabled man who owns a 1.5 diesel Colt writes to the times to ask for a recommendation on choosing a new car.
Mr. RA, Marlow said “I currently run a Mitsubishi Colt 1.5 diesel. Due to a muscular problem that affects my quad muscles, I have to rely on my wife pulling me out of the car. That’s just not fair.
“I am hoping that you could recommend cars from which I could be able to step out. The problem with my present car is that the seats are too low. I have to be pulled out as a result.”
Telegraph lifestyle correspondent ‘Honest John’, said.”If the seat height is a problem then try a Suzuki Splash or Vauxhall Agila”. But he also added” The Three door colt is one of the most accessible cars of its size.”

Mitsubishis all electric vehicle.
The ‘I MEIV’ is an electric version of the I city car. It has a 40kw engine which produces 60hp. It has a lot of toque for a small car. With 190nm and with it being electric, it is straight away available from go.
It has a range of 80 miles before you need to recharge. Recharging is simple as it comes with an electric cable which plugs straight into a domestic supply. Where you would normally find the fuel cap you find the plug. Mitsubishi state it should take approximately 7 hours to recharge. They are also bring out a new special cable which will be able to give 80% charge in 20 minutes.
Designed for the town, it should be able to get you around without much hassle. On the motorways though it struggles; anything above 50 miles an results in a fast draining of the batteries. It has quick acceleration up to 30mph and should keep you comfortable in those frustrating traffic jams.
The problem with the environmental credentials of any electric cars is that any power they need still comes from the national grid. Currently the majority of power still comes from fossil fuels.
It has generous room in the boot for a small car and it should fit 2 adults comfortably with room for some luggage. Don’t expect to be capable of transporting the whole family though. This car is much more suited a young single city goer
