For The Colt's cabin has decent space for four adults, as well as some MPV-style versatility. The 1.1 engine is eager and the interior is solidly put together
Against Even with the rear seat slid fully forward, the boot is small. Only top-spec models have side airbags, while the 1.3 engine is short on grunt and refinement, and the ride is on the firm side
What Car? says
The Colt is competent rather than engaging on the road, but it's comfortable and spacious. The prices are reasonable, too

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Colt’s styling and drive probably won’t set the world alight, but it still has plenty to offer to city-car buyers. It’s fairly quiet round town and easy to drive, thanks to its light steering and decent handling, but the ride is a little jittery. All Colts come with several safety aids, including Brake Assist and a system that flashes the hazards at double speed in an emergency stop. Even the entry-level CZ1 car also has a CD player and electric front windows, while the slightly more powerful CZ2 adds air-con, steering wheel-mounted controls and all-round electric windows. The automatic 1.3 and the sporty Ralliart are overpriced, however. Four passengers will fit in comfort, but they’ll struggle to squeeze in all of their luggage. The dash is well laid out, with large, simple controls, and while the plastics are hard to the touch, they look smart and feel durable. For added peace of mind, just look at the Colt’s consistently good performances in our reliability surveys.
