    My car

    My previous convertible car (ford streetka) was becoming too expensive to run and maintain. When looking for a new 2nd hand car there were many options, I required something more practical, more modern, efficient and larger without compromising on fun. The Mitsubishi Colt is all of these in abundance, but also has great looks. My 2007 Colt CZ1 is black with red trim and has the optional extra airconditioning. I added alloy wheels, a spoiler and a few internal alterations including mitsubishi fitted aux input to the CD player. So now the car looks and feels the part. To drive the handling isnt as sharp as my previous streetKA, however, the colt is designed for an entirely different purpose, suiting round town running, its responsive, fun and easy to park. The 1.1 3cylinder engine is pokey, sounds good and feels more than it says on paper. Inside the cabin is funky and feels solidly built. Its comfortable, roomy and large adults can fit in the back. The folding rear seats add to the cars versatility, the CD player is easy to use and the 4 speakers sound good. The cabin looks great by night too with the luminous green lighting of the dash and centre consol. If you want a little, fun and efficient car with the big car feel, the colt is for you. 35+ MPG round town, the 1.1 is also cheap to tax and insure. The whole design is well thought out. I recommend this car.

    My car

    My daughter 'acquired' my wifes Clio so had to find my nearest and dearest a new car on a limited (new Clio out of reach) budget. Clio was a hard act to follow but think we've managed it. It has a tardis like interior with offers extreme practicality , seats folding this way and that. Fun to drive not too dissimilar to my first Ford Focus, a real drivers car. No faults though we thought the fuel needle had a problem as it hardly moves! Good for 47+ to the gallon gives us plenty of miles as well as smiles.
