Mitsubishi Colt 1.5 Ralliart

[MovingShadow]

I'm wondering, what are your thoughts on this car?

Haven't seen it on the road (well not the Ralliart) but it looks like a nice contender for the Twingo RS.

Far quicker than an rs in a straight line. Easily tuned too. Very nice cars. Interiors a let down to an extent but it's very good value for money and understated

Price range?

I remember when they were comparing them against the RS133, shame you cant turn the traction control off.

Crazy looking, unsure if its ugly. Oddly I think I prefer the 5 door.

some of the reviews said the interior was "mad"

looks dull to me, certainly not "mad". will do the job.

I like the understatedness of them, thats coming from a man thats bought a 197 with the daft cup spoiler...

I presumed it's quicker on the straights but I wonder how it holds up in the bends. Mitsubishi has some good experience in the rally history.

Interior is never been a real hassle for me. I'd take some more extra horsepowers over a fancy interior. (like, I would have no problem having yotah's interior for a better driving experience)

 

[maggi200]

In the corners they hold their own. If you want the car with a fancy interior smart forfour Brabus shared the engine and chassis with a few tweaks and more power

Well I looked at remaps of this car already and once remapped, this car pushes up to 180 to 190 bhp. Thats alot for a small hatchback like this. I'd bet it could even make a Clio 200 a hard day.

 

[maggi200]

I suspect it would Leave a 200 behind with the torque and lower mass...

Id certainly consider one over the facelift twingo.

 

[maggi200]

I actually saw that one not long ago and considered it. I really like them, have done since having a 1.1 as a courtesy car a couple of years ago and realising how much fun it was

 

[Dubz]

I don't like them. I think they look ugly and the interior looks really bad and tried to be over styled cheaply

 

[DrDrew]

I really like the colt ralliart (previously colt CZT). They're a bit more expensive to insure than the 133 due to being group 13 (26/28 in new style), but similar economy & CO2 to the 133.

Think they're good to drive, though not as good as the 133, but you can pick them up at pretty low prices.

Edit: I personally prefer the styling of the phase 1 (CZT) over the facelifted Ralliart (Plus you get leather seats etc)

CZT

My friend has one and its alot quicker in a straight line than my car and he hasn't done anything to it yet. I think its a nice looking car

 

[Kelly_GT]

I really like them but the insurance is higher than the 133. Id probably have to wait until I turn 21 to get one of these at a decent enough price for insurance. The interior doesnt bother me, it may look plain but Im sure a few little modifications would help improve it

 

[holliedynamique]

I love the 3 door version one of my favourite small cars on forza lol they look good aswell I see one regularly in Plymouth

 

[Penn]

Been lots of group tests over the years, 133 comes top by quite some margin when compared to these.

 

[Twingojoe]

Just another understated baby hot hatch imo could be made to be good but id rather get a 200 instead besides you just cant use more than 100bhp on the roads these daysand believe me i try!

 

[maggi200]

Not sure I understand the logic. Can't use more than 100 so go for a car with a 50bhp advantage?

 

[Twingojoe]

Clio for track...Twingo is perfect for roads...well not built up areas anyway...
