Welcome to drive the debate

Ultra reliable, quiet and comfortable to drive. Parts are actually suprisingly cheap and spares are becoming more readily available.

Soft suspension makes for a comfortable but not very exciting drive. The engine is a little guttless at the top end over 4800rpm. Interior is a bit dull too.

After 2 and a half years of ownership my Colt has never once let me down. Cheap to buy and insure and visually it\'s aged a lot better then other cars of it\'s time (think Vauxhall Astra or Renault Megane). The only thing the standard car really ever needed was a nice set of 15\" alloys to complete the exterior. Just a shame about the typically Japanese interior!!
