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

According to the Herald Sun in Australia the first plug in production cars will be arriving in Australia soon, manufactured by Mitsubishi. The iMiEV will be available on lease only and even though it is big news in Australia only 40 of them are arriving there. This costs are not cheap either at over $1700 Au dollars a month for 3 years, there is a huge range of executive cars you could lease cheaper, not to mention not having the hassle to charge up each night. Of course the real benefit is they are emission free, but who will be the lucky 40 individuals who will drive and get the publicity.

With a $33000 price tag, they are not cheap but like all electrical goods, there is an expectation that the price with freefall over the next 3 years. Nissan are currently manufacturing their electrical cars At Nissan in Sunderland UK.

If you fancy a Mitsubishi Leasing deal here in the UK, there is an online system ready for you.

Mitsubishi are one of the most renowned manufactures of 4×4’s. They have a good reputation for producing quality, affordable cars. The difference between most Mitsubishi 4×4’s and other top 4×4 brands, is that the Mitsubishi’s are one of the few car makes designed to actually go off-road. A lot of the popular 4×4’s today are designed mainly for tarmac, which just shows how the market has changed. The Mitsubishi engines also have a great reputation for being reliable. Models like the ‘Shogun’ have an MPG of about 30-35 and this doesn’t really drop even when using the towbar for caravans and such.

With the huge success of the first the peugeot 206cc, many other manufacturers have jumped on the band wagon to make minin sized hard top convertibles and the Mitsubishi Colt CZC hard top cabriolet is another one to compare. To be honest the price prompt is aimed more at the Micra CC than the Peugeot with prices starting at around £11k rather than the £13k of the peugeot.

Of course the benefits if these models is that you can have the roof down in summer, but be protected in the winter months with a hard top and not just a piece of cloth. the video of the Mitsubishi Colt CZC cabriolet below is not really a review but someone enjoying driving the car around some country area, with a bit a music thrown in.

It start off by saying that the best selling car in the world is a pick up, as we know this is a ford and not the Mitsubishi L200 reviewed here, but it proves the point that pick up trucks do have their value and maybe other countries such as America are better at figuring this out.

We still see several Mitsubishi L200’s around every town and city in UK, compared with the average car, the driver sits in the clouds looking down on the rest of the world and as well as the warm interios to drive, its practibility is there for all to see with plenty of carrying space and off road capabilities.

We are seeing moer and moe of these vehicles being leased to busines owners who live in the country of have wekend pursuits as well as the farmer, who needs modern transport.

The Mitsubishi L200 has been around for some time now, although in different guises, for some these vehicles are the ideal solution.

Watch the Mitsubishi L200 review, from Motors dot com talking about the States, of course this is where the big market is and where this car needs to impress.

In August, again the three top most requested models for Mitsubishi were

1. the Mitsubishi Shogun 5 Door ,
2. Mitsubishi Carisma 5Dr HatchBack and
3. The Mitsubishi Colt 3Dr HatchBack.

The steadily rising demand for Mitsubishi vehicle parts at leading UK Vehicle Parts Locator has prompted Car Spare Finder to renew its strategy to actively seeking more quality used Mitsubishi UK Vehicle dismantlers.

In August 2009 Car Spare Finder had, as usual,  a highly varied range of Mitisubishi vehicle  part requests, including  for example:

Vehicle: MITSUBISHI SHOGUN 3Dr Estate GLX TD DID 3200cc Diesel Manual (2000-2000)

Part Required: GEARBOX (5SP AUTO) (Automatic Gearbox SWB)

Vehicle: MITSUBISHI CARISMA 5Dr HatchBack CLASSIC DI-D 1870cc Diesel Manual (2003-)

Part Required: AIRCON PUMP

Vehicle: MITSUBISHI PAJERO 5Dr Estate (SHOGUN) EXCEED TD 2477cc Diesel Auto (1990-1995)

Part Required: ENGINE COMPLETE (Diesel)

Vehicle: MITSUBISHI GALANT 4Dr Saloon GLS I AUTO 1997cc Petrol Auto (1993-1997)

Part Required: GEARBOX (4SP AUTO)

Demand is spread evenly across the board in terms of Mitsubishi models, vehicle ages, model ranges and parts.  It is noticeable that there is strong demand for older Mitsubishi parts, which are increasingly harder to come by. It is common to get get daily remand for ECUs (engine management systems),  engines, gearboxes, cylinder heads, Injector pump, Aircon Pump, and many substantial Mitsubishi vehcile parts.

Another thing worthy of mention,  in the month of August – usually quite quiet in terms of demand for Mitsubishi car and van parts,  is a contined demand for the Mitsubishi Canter pick up. As you probably know, the Mitsubishi Canters are available in three basic chassis sizes ranging up to the 7.5-tonne.  In August Car Spare Finder has seen steady demand for the Mitisubishi Canter 35 Diesel Engines available via its website specifically designed for Mitsubishi vehicle parts consumers looking for Mitsubishi Canter-35 van parts.

When you want the absolute latest in Mitsubishi news you don’t need to look any further than the brand new Mitsubishi i MiEV. This environmentally friendly electric car is the first to make it to the market; yet it is not going to be the last one. There are so many car makers that have decided that they are going to make hybrid vehicles in order to start cutting down on the problem of too much CO2 being put out into the atmosphere. The things that drivers are raving about in this car are the maximum speed of 81 mph/130 kph, the quiet power with which this car operates and the ease of recharging.

What many people find so intriguing about the Mitsubishi i MiEV is that this vehicle is one of those that are at the starting point of going up to the next generation of fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles that are environmentally friendly; as well as easy to own, drive, operate and “refuel” when you need to recharge that battery. The Permanent Magnet Synchronous engine that is standard in this cute, but powerful, little vehicle will not let you down anywhere you choose to go with it. When you need to recharge your Mitsubishi i MiEV all you would need to do is simply find an electrical outlet that has a three-pin plug outlet and plug it in. All you will need to do is simply let it sit and recharge for about 6 hours and you’re motoring again.

Some legendary names never lose their sheen and that’s how they remain in business. Mitsubishi is one such brand among the cars of every segment. Ranging from the electric car i MiEV which is to be launched later this year, its catalogue sprawls in every direction.

Lancer has been its flagship brand which was enhanced in the name of Lancer Evolution and followed by Colt and Grandis. Mitsubishi has many successful SUVs running in the market. Outlander had been the most coveted under this segment. Others like Shogun and 4work are bullish in their performances and are preferred for off-road experiences. They are engineered to live and survive under the toughest of conditions. The special edition of L200 is a rocker in the market. It is fondly named as L200 Trojan and has dynamic features. Available with a differential rear lock and 16 inch alloy wheels in the UK market. Plus the Colt CZC Cabriolet is another car earning popularity lately. It has foldable hard top and offers you a dual facility car with or without ceiling. All Mitsubishi cars are designed to perfection for the benefit of their customers.

The SUVs from the Mitsubishi are more maneuverable and spacious. They have the comfort of a car and fixtures of a truck. Hence, they are tough and become your partner under rugged conditions. Under the luxury segment, evolutions like Lancer have carved their niche. They are the all-time hits is this segment and have excellent exteriors. The interiors luxurious and offer value for money.

If and when you need to look for replacement parts and/or accessories for your Mitsubishi Eclipse you would be very wise to not listen to those that are trying to tell you that parts and accessories made for and by Plymouth (now a part of Daimler-Chrysler Motors) or Eagle are going to fit into your Mitsubishi Eclipse. There are so many differences between these three makes of cars that it is not going to be very likely that parts for either a Plymouth or and Eagle will fit into a Mitsubishi Eclipse. There is nothing that will fit into a Mitsubishi Eclipse any better than parts that are made specifically for the Mitsubishi Eclipse.

There is one thing that we are pretty confident in; and that is that you, the reader, already know this bit of information so this really is not Mitsubishi news to you. There are, however, too many people that will believe that you actually can make this particular substitution when it is not bloody likely. Those that think that they can easily replace Mitsubishi Eclipse parts with parts from other makes and models of vehicles really need to remember that this is not going to solve your problem and is also very likely going to cause more problems down the line. This is something that you really want to avoid at all costs if you can because you are going to end up dealing with more mechanical problems than you really need in very short order.
