Mitsubishi Colt Hatchback 1.3 CZ2 Cleartec 3dr

My car

A bargain with all the mod cons

Great value for money with air con, power steering, cruise control, steering wheel audio controls, mp3 compatible CD player with audio jack and heated side window mirrors

Likes:

Price Heated window mirrors with auto timer off - really handy Good viability - good seat height alterations (I am 4ft 11" so need something that I can actually reach the pedals in!) Very Nippy - Pulls away extremely fast Emergency lights come on when you break very hard - nice to warn those behind you! Keyless deadlocking - (don't worry you can use your key on the passengers side if the battery is flat!) Great wipers! - with optional timers Front fog lights - very beneficial and often not standard fit on many cars. Cleartech has £35 a year road tax 3 years free breakdown cover

Let downs:

No real let downs for me considering the price Had a few problems with reverse gear - however it may just be me in a new car Boot isn't that big, but the fold down back seats give lots of room Insurace group 5 - not that high but was allot higher than I was expecting

Others have said it is not particularly quiet to drive, however, I have not found it to be loud at all.

The start stop of the cleartec does take a little getting used to, but saying this I have not found it annoying, in fact surprised at how little difference it makes to driving.

Overall, very comfortable nippy drive, looks fantastic and comes with everything you could ask for an

My car

After having driven a Nissan Micra for years i purchased a Colt CZ2 3Dr Cleartec. This is a geeat car for the following reasons:

The Cabin is Comfortable and practical The engine is responsive The styling at the front is great, the rear is ok!

The Auto Stop & Go system is great when awaiting at traffic lights, just put it into neutral and lift the clutch and the engine switches off, then depress the clutch and the engine starts and off you go.

Safety. This year i was travelling at 60mph on the A303 at 4am and a deer walked straight out in front of me hitting it head on. The engine cut out and i steered the car into the left, i received no injuries and hardly felt the impact, the front bumper is made up of two parts (Upper & Lower). The lower part containing the fog lights was smashed the remainder all in tact and undamaged, i felt completely safe at all times.

The A pillars at the front are a pain at first but you get use to them, If anything they really make you look out for other vehicles which i believe is a good thing.

The engine sounds sporty and the ride is comfortable, its a pleasure to drive.
