What makes a Colt

By Levi McFerson


The Colt Cleartec is the next design in a line of Mitsubishi cars which have been both quality and low in cost for everyone since 1962.

Gigantic tombstone fuel-guzzling vehicles are well and good should you be the dictator of some obscure wealthy nation and can afford to tarmac a region the size of Coventry to use as your own turning circle. However for many years the standard family living in a buzzing suburb has been being economical while getting the best quality possible by driving the newest model of Colt. In the event you are not into that obtain a bike and lookup into motorbike breakdown cover.

As Mitsubishi's first post-war passenger car, the Colt 600 made history when it was first produced in Okazaki, Japan in 1962. It was not long before the successful sleek and stylish car arrived on the shores of Europe, with the Colt 1200 and Colt 1400 wowing drivers in the early 80s. Soon everyone was queuing to get behind the wheel for a Colt test drive.

By the mid 80s the whole world became members of the cult of the Colt, with both 3-door and 5-door versions developed, with a top engine capacity of 1800cc. The models sold well in Europe, but were extremely popular in Denmark, where they were one of the country's top selling cars.

Various designs of Colt have gone under different labels all over the world, such as the Dodge, Plymouth and the awesomely crazy Mirage Panther and Mirage Cyborg. Neither the Panther or Cyborg were made to be driven by any types of wild tiger or futuristic automaton, though arguably a futuristic robot could possibly drive one, though we can never know, because that would only occur in the future.

In the 90s vehicles ceased having those well-defined angles and the sides started to be rounder in practically a real life precursor to web two point oh. The Colt remained in style and the fifth generation featured a front wheel drive 1500 cc 8 valve SOHC caburettor engine in the base GL model, or a 1800 cc SOHC 8 valve EFI engine in the higher GLXi variant.

Nowadays the Colt Cleartec has got the most modern features ever seen in a Colt brochure and it is still manufactured to the highest standards on the production lines of Japan. Another classic in the making.
