What Car? says
For The Colt has lots of equipment, excellent space and a good entry-level engine
Against Small boot, dull steering, little safety kit
Verdict
It's competent rather than fun to drive, but it's surprisingly spacious
Go for… 1.1 Classic
Avoid… 1.5 CZT
- 1. A used Colt won't be that cheap because it's still too new for values to have fallen far
- 2. We recommend the basic 1.1 engine because it's quick enough to use anywhere and responsive at low revs
- 3. There's plenty of head- and legroom for four adults
- 4. Even entry-level Classic models come with a good spread of kit including alloys, electric front windows and a CD player
- 5. The boot isn't particularly big, even by supermini standards
