Price Range: £7,999 to £12,849
Energetic and refined engine, cheap to buy, well equipped.
Obtrusive A-pillars, small boot, fidgety ride, poor attention to detail.
Irritating foibles ruin an otherwise cheap and cheerful alternative to the usual superminis.
Mitsubishi says its 'responsible' sales strategy, free of big fleet and retail sales, has ensured solid and dependable residual values for the Colt.
It says that it will be best-in-class, returning around 40% of its original value after three years/36,000 miles. However, you can expect to get between 42 and 48% from the Fiesta and up to 50% from the Mazda 2.
