The Mitsubishi Colt is the Japanese firm’s riposte to the likes of the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Polo. A facelift in late 2008 took the Colt from its original and slightly anonymous appearance to something altogether more racy, with a strong hint of Mitsubishi’s Evo X about the front grille and headlights.

Running costs

Mitsubishi Colt running costs aren’t huge. With economical engines and cheap insurance the Colt is a low cost car to own. Service intervals are pretty long and parts and servicing are reasonably priced too, so overall it's a good choice if you're on a budget. The ClearTec model, introduced in 2009, is cheap to tax thanks to low emissions and very economical too.
