Mitsubishi Colt Review

Running Costs5 out of 5

With their impressively low official combined-cycle fuel consumption - 51.4mpg for the 1.1, 48.7mpg for the 1.3, 46.3mpg for the 1.5 - these Colts will be cheap to run.

Servicing is the now-usual annual affair, insurance groups are low (though the CZT comes in Group 14), and residual (resale) values stand a chance of being high if the market takes to the Colt as we think it should. This ought to be affordable new-car motoring, helped by a three-year, unlimited-mileage guarantee and no cambelts to change.
