The MITSUBISHI COLT (2004-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.3 CZ2 is a compact five-door hatchback aimed at drivers who want an easy-to-park car without giving up useful cabin space. In the UK market it sits among small everyday cars, offering a practical alternative to rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. Its 1.3-litre petrol engine suits town journeys and commuting, while five doors make access easy for passengers and shopping. The Colt is best for first-time drivers, couples and small households needing manageable transport, rather than a large family car. Its upright shape helps the cabin feel roomy for a compact hatchback. mycarcheck.com records 264 checks across 177 VINs, a useful sample; cars averaged 87,000 miles and 6,000 miles yearly. Average private-sale value was £800, with three previous keepers. Compared with Fiesta and Corsa rivals, the Colt offers practical packaging for city use; check the car’s history and condition before buying.
