This is undeniably good value compared to the rest of the range, but it's still an awful lot of money to spend on a Colt. We think cheaper models represent better value for money.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Mitsubishi Colt’s styling won’t set the world alight, and neither will the driving experience. It’s fairly easy to drive around down thanks to its tight turning circle and light steering, but the ride is fairly jittery. The Colt handles faithfully enough as you go faster, but the ride still doesn’t settle.

More of a problem, though, is the Colt’s shortage of safety kit. Only the range-topping Ralliart model gets stability control, and although the Ralliart gets six airbags, the rest of the range comes with just driver and passenger front ‘bags. That’s simply not good enough.

Our favourite Colt is the entry-level 1.1 CZ1 model. It’s affordable to buy and the small petrol engine has more low-range urge than the more powerful 1.3 you get in pricier CZ2 models. The sporty Ralliart version is quicker, but it’s also overpriced.
