The Colt a Brilliant Little Car
The five-seat, five-door Mitsubishi Colt is not big by any standards, measuring 3.87m long, 1.68m wide and 1.55m tall. That’s almost identical dimensions to the popular Honda Jazz,.
There’s little you’d want for with the Colt; it comes standard with air conditioning, remote central locking, engine immobiliser, electric windows and mirrors, CD player and ABS ant-lock brakes.There’s good leg and headroom in the front seats, and shoulder-room to spare. The driver’s seat adjusts for height, tilt and slide, and the steering wheel does tilt adjust All controls are well placed and easy to use, and there’s plenty of storage cubby-holes for phones, keys, magazines, maps and the like.The slightly higher second tier of seats are not short on legroom or headroom due to a relatively upright seating position.
Outboard occupants get three-point seatbelts, while the middle-man gets dudded by a less than satisfactory lap-only belt. Boot-space is pretty good for a compact car, thanks partly to the omission of a full-sized spare tyre under the floor.
There’s a number of clever storage features inside the cabin, like an under-seat draw in the front and ‘curry’ hooks dotted throughout .
All Colt models come equipped with dual air-bags up front and seat belt pre-tensioners on front seat belts Brake and throttle pedals break off in a frontal collision, reducing the chance of foot injuries.One very interesting safety point is the fitting of less-advanced drum brakes on the rear wheels despite the use of more effective disc brakes at the front Under the bonnet rests a 1.5-litre, four cylinder engine, equipped with Mitsubishi’s MIVEC variable valve timing system which produces 72kW of power and 131Nm of torque.CVT stands for Continuously Variable Transmission, and it’s a revolutionary new gearbox that eschews traditional gear sets for two cones and a connecting belt. The result is an infinite choice of gear ratios, and seamlessly smooth acceleration because there’s no ‘gear changes.
