Mitsubishi Colt
-
Thinking of getting the new Mitsubishi Colt. Just wanted to get some feedback... from existing Colt owners or Mitsubishi car owners in general. Are Mitsubishi cars generally reliable and problem-free?

well...it's acc frm standstill is, ok. i mean, there's no complains abt it. rather, i dont hear anything frm the driversOriginally posted by 1972:Yup... any info would be appreciated. I've been reading on the web about many cases of overups of defects. Seems very much a concern... hmm.
but trying to accelerate to change lanes, well it's slow in increase of speed.
what happens is that, when i want to accelerate to overtake, i step harder on the accelerator right ? naturally engine rpm goes up but the speed doesnt increase by alot. in fact, minimal. it's only when u step that hard and hold on for a while before u can feel an increase in speed( otherwise it';s minimal)
the handling wise, ok.
only 1 out of the 3 drivers who drove my family;s colt complained it was hard to park...ONLY 1 -
Ah, you're a colt owner? What year colt is it? Have you ever had to fix/repair things other than through normal regular servicing?Originally posted by bismarck:well...it's acc frm standstill is, ok. i mean, there's no complains abt it. rather, i dont hear anything frm the drivers

Could be due to the CVT . Its got the "slipping clutch" feeling. there's nothing u can do abt it. cept throw the transmission out the window..Originally posted by bismarck:well...it's acc frm standstill is, ok. i mean, there's no complains abt it. rather, i dont hear anything frm the drivers

Anyway, all in all. A really neat car. only Bugger is that My CSM is always complaining that he cant haul his golf bag into the car together with his wife and dog and wateva he brings.
great car to drive ........ for cruisin and the looks to boot. -
Agree! Generally, colt is a decent car with style of its class. Some makeover like min spoiler, fog lights, etc will make it even more outstanding.
As the "CSM" case is not an issue at all. Weird to say he needs a lorry or van for that kind of load. -
not me. my mum///Originally posted by 1972:Ah, you're a colt owner? What year colt is it? Have you ever had to fix/repair things other than through normal regular servicing?

slipping clutch ?????????????
1 thing i can assure is....this car is bloody silent .
twice we 'tailed' 2 buggers jaywalking on a quiet road frm behind and they were completely oblivious....
the speeds wasnt so slow a snail can outrun you, but not that noisy compared to other cars...
