1984 Dodge Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo | MotorWeek Retro Review

[@steveelchook8351]

I have owned this exact same car for almost 33 years. In original condition. Fast and fun when it was new. Don't know how much longer it will go. Only drive it once a week or so now. It attracts a lot of attention. Only made for one year. A few years ago I had antique plates put on it. Everything still works although the odometer sticks every now and then.

[@340duster8]

steve elchook I had a 82 Colt back in 93 and had it for 5 years and I beat the dog snot out of it. I loved messing with people's mind when I would shift each gear twice and even more when I would shift in reverse.

[@anassyria5176]

We also had a sedan 84 colt we sold just 2 month ago.

I bought this exact car Dec. 1983/ 1 week after i came home from basic training Ft. Benning Ga. Picked it up from the Plymouth dealer w/a foot of snow in the ground and very heavy snowfall. My Colt was fun/quick/awesome/Alot of guys in my National Guard Unit had various hot hatchbacks at that time. Rabbit GTI/Omni Glh /Geo Metro Turbo 3 cylinder/What great memories. My Colt Turbo was nearly troublefree Drove it from Miami to Watertown N.Y. several times . Never any problems

[@steveperkey9883]

I had one, the exact car!bought it from a friend that put a bigger Turbo on it! I was eating Mustang 5.0s and SS Camaro for breakfast! Wher talkn around 97 or 98.I paid $500 for it.. People laughed at it, until they pulled up beside it and the boost kicked in!Man seeing this Video took me back!

[@netrioter]

My friend had one..we messed with the wastegate to take it to 16 psi. That really woke that car up, it was Buick Grand National fast after that. He drove it that way for a couple of years until rust killed it underneath.

[@matterr69]

I owned one, what a blast! It simply carved up commute traffic. The best test drive ever! $ 8,334 I was so excited that I took delivery right off the transport truck ! Tore the plastic bags off of the front seats and laid rubber in front of the dealership! My buddy bought a 1984 GTI, smoked his ass!

canukr17 Hello. STALKING YOU

[@frankburns8871]

Heh, I had an '81 (I think) Plymouth Champ which was the Dodge Colt's twin, and it was an awesome little car for its time. 0-60 times were probably pathetic by modern standards, but it had the "power-economy" shifter in addition to the regular manual box, and was just fun as hell to drive. Could do perfect 180s with the hand brake all day long, great mpg, light and tossable in the corners and narrow enough to do stupidly inadvisable maneuvers on city streets and freeways. It definitely felt sportier than it was, and that's really all that matters in the real world.

[@JohnBullerjahn]

I had a 1984 Dodge Colt; a Mitsubishi Mirage with an depretiation accelerating Dodge badge. I had the DL non turbo with the twin stick transmission. I loved the twin stick, but the novelty of shifting them both at the same time wore out fairly quickly mainly because it was tricky and not worth the extra effort. Where it came in handy was when you needed a little more up or downshift, but not a "whole" gear up or down. I once I going, I'd leave in the "E" mode, and shift into "P" to get a little exra oomph for on ramps, or down shift on off ramps. I loved the car even though it had no A/C, but it drove better and felt better than any American car in it's price range. It was durable, never had an alignment even though I had it checked as part of the service schedule. I gave it to a friends 16 year old daughter at 120,000 miles having done nothing but follow the maintaince schedule, change the oil and put on new tires at 50,000. At 35,000 miles later, she had to replace the clutch, exhaust and front struts. She finished high school, college and graduate school with it.

[@Dankcatvacs]

that was very nice of you to give a way a half new /used car . id love to drive one i love manuals and gimmicks

[@y2ktube]

Owned my Turbo until 2007 - #1 - Twin-stick at about 50K miles, completely failed (video @ 3:11) - After the repair it always sporadically 'Popped' out of "E" mode (I just kept my hand on it as I drove). #2 - The oil cooled Turbo charger lasted until about 40K miles (oil smoke poured out of exhaust). I argued with the Dodge dealer (Glendale CA - Where they filmed the start of Chevy Chase's "Vacation" movie) that the California 50K mile mandatory emission warranty necessitated a FREE turbo replacement. They reluctantly agreed and proceeded to install an improved Oil & Water cooled turbo assembly... Loved the sticker just below the liftgate Air Foil Wing >>> "Don't Step On The GAS unless you MEAN IT" - Goodtimes...

[@fromthebackofmymind]

A new diy clutch was $75. Owned two of these. Even pulled a john boat on trailer. Finally got a set of alloy wheels. Sold it to a young couple. $400 starting out on the game of Life.

I loved mine..... even the big window sticker on the back "Don't step on gas unless you mean it" from the factory.

[@bongodave13]

I had one. Silver with burgundy interior, like the first one shown. It was pretty fast for a small car, and looked pretty good, too. At the time, it was the second quickest car in Dodge/Plymouth's lineup that year, after the Daytona turbo. Bought it from an English guy who had to move back to England. I only ever saw maybe 3 others. Now I own a Fiesta ST. This American understands the joy of a hot hatch. Too bad no one else around here seems to. "A Fiesta? Ha ha!" I'm glad they don't get it. Manual transmissions are a great theft deterrent, too.

[@thatbaldnurse]

When I first got my license back in 1991, my parents had a 1981 Plymouth Champ 4-speed manual (non-turbo, but it did have the power/economy shifter, which I never used). I learned to drive on that car, and drove it for 2 years while I was in high school. It was a very reliable little car, even though during the cold winter months of Wisconsin the driver's side door wouldn't stay closed once I unlocked and opened the door, at least not until the car warmed up inside. Trying to steer, shift, and hold the door closed on those early morning trips to school was fun! I still miss that little rust bucket.

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

I bought a blue 86 Colt Turbo for $60. Drove it for about a month before discovering lots of rust in the left firewall. I parked it and drove one of my other cars. I also had two red 88 Plymouth Colts. For 88 the Plymouth Colts were carbureted and the Dodge Colts were fuel injected.

0-60 in 9.4 my ass. My dad had one and it smoked my 1987 Mitsubishi Station ESI-R. It was 0-60 in the low to mid 7's. It regularly beat 305 IROC-Z's, Monte Carlo SS's, Porsche 944's, RX-7's and the like. It WASTED, and I mean KILLED, CRX's and GTI's of the era. The mid 9-second 0-60's came from the next generation of this car, which lacked the twin stick, and was larger and heavier with no increase in power.

[@joesjunkcars6328]

I guess you could say its a colt classic.

[@rocketsmall4547]

[@nz9636]

They don't make cars this beautiful anymore.

[@TopGearNS]

I had a love hate relationship with the non turbo version of the Colt. The gas mileage was great and it did excellent handbrake turns on pavement. Most entertaining was the lift off oversteer allowing mild drifts in some corners. It even jumped well on frost heaves on the winter pavement. The car had no rust in 7 east coast Canada winters. Now on the negative side it 1) left me stranded more then once when it vapor locked for an undetermined amount of time in summer 2) it would quit at exactly 36 km on the highway and have to sit for 10 min 3) the Colt would Ping like a bag of marbles in the cylinder 4) the Chrysler dealer let me drive 600 highway miles on an egg shaped tire because they couldn't find a broken belt when I inquired about a heavy vibration 5) a knuckle broke in the steering column with subsequent steering failure 6) the drone from the engine at highway speeds left me with a headache more then once 7) the idle control solenoid would rev near 4000 rpm on cold starts (dealer said this was normal) eventually taking out some valves and finally 7) the gear gear shift lever fell through the floor well on the highway. I paid to repair each and everyone of these problems. It sold to a college student and she drove it for 2 years needing nothing other then gas and a set of rear brake shoes ...........Sigh .........

[@djkenny1202]

I had a turbo 87 Chevrolet Sprint from 1992-2010, sold it running fast and fun. Great little car. I have no desire to sell my 92 VW GTI 16v. I got that one, drove it along side the Sprint for many years. The newer cars are all too bland, heavy, too much power equipment, and less fun.

Give me a break, a n/a fwd hatchback that ways almost 3000lbs does not sound like fun. Back then it was car and driver. Now a days it's car, computers, and a driver driving a programmed spaceship. Now a days cars need all this extra crap on it just because people can't drive. That stuff just add weight to supposedly fun cars. Strip it down and make it a track car, then it would be fun. And $20,000 plus is not my idea of cheap either lol

[@djkenny1202]

+bakadakalaka I would like a simple hot hatch like we had up til 1993. My 92 VW GTI 16v is the last of the simple, great seats, motor, handling.. no power everything inside type of cars. A lower price, lower luxury features on a simple econo car would be nice. There is nothing like that avail these days in the USA. Even a simplified Fiat or Mini would be nice.

[@marcbrunengraber3507]

No - the 0-60 time is way off. The car was a mid seven 0-60. 15.7 is accurate for the 1/4 mile. Road and Track tested this car at 8.0 to 60 and 16.0 in the 1/4 mile at 84mph.

[@miker7233]

I bought the car brand new in 1984. It was the worse vehicle I ever owned. It was fast. That’s about it. It had a standard transmission. Everytime I would go highway speed the car would suddenly speed up and slow down on it’s own. Like it was possessed. Sometimes trying to stall out. The service department could not correct it. They finally gave me a loaner car. Almost two months later they replaced if I recall correctly the turbo pump and something else. That finally resolved the issue. I then took it to a car wash. The rear windows were those push out clip windows. The new issue was every time it went through a car wash the back windows would pop open. The dealership tried tightening the clips then replacing them. As I recall the issue was never resolved. Then I decided it to drive a six hour road trip. It was pouring rain. After about three hours I heard a swishing noise coming from the back. I stopped to check. The spare tire compartment under the rear compartment was filled with water. I had to pop the drain plug to let all the water out. And leave the plug out to stop it. The dealer resealed everything they could. But it was never corrected. After about a year the car started rusting from all the leaks. I got rid of it. What a piece of junk

[@Cayres9]

The other version of this Colt was a lot faster they had a version that would do 60mph in 6.5 seconds with a stick shift gearbox and 130mph top speed , the modern Colt Ralliart JDM import is fast too.

[@patricksimmons395]

The original hot hatch...I had a non turbo and that fucker burned more oil than gas...

[@adamn7516]

Patrick Simmons No, the original is the VW GTI.

[@yadidimeanmaine]

+Patrick Simmons The Cooper Mini

[@adamn7516]

In the USA the GTI is still considered the original hot hatch and the one that started the craze here in America.

[@adamn7516]

What qualifies the Simca to be a hot hatch. The Simca was never marketed in the US to be a performance car. Simply because it was a hatch doesn't make the first hot hatch here in the states. The GTI inroduced here in 1983 was first small hatchback in the USA perceived as "hot hatch" or a "pocket rocket" as we also called cars of this type so therefore it is the original. BUT the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon which were actually designed by Simca and introduced here in 1978 actually originally came with base VW 1.7 liter. A few years later that was replaced with Chryslers own 2.2 liter engine but still the car was never considered or marketed as a performance hatch. Wasn't until 1984 that the Omni/Horizon finally entered the hot hatchback craze with the introduction of the GLH package.

[@adamn7516]

Fact is the Simca 1204 brought nothing to the hot hatchback segment in the US. No suspension upgrades, brake upgrades and the only reason the larger engine was brought here was because Americans were used to horsepower so they stuck in the biggest engine they had, not that it amounted to much more than the 1100. End of story.

Since Mitsu is basically dead is America now a days, maybe if they made something small and fun with about 180hp, they would pick up a lot of young buyers and possible future family car sales! Companies don't see the untapped wallets of younger buyers, if they did make a hot hatch with 180hp and kept it around 16k, it would probably sell pretty darn good!

[@9890jsp]

They already do. The KIA Forte 5 turbo. I bought one. 201 HP, 6speed auto, UVO entertainment all for $22k. I traded my 2009 Lancer GTS, which at 66k miles was a flaming piece of shit. CVT tranny & the 2.4 mivec failed. Replaced under warranty, but still.. Mitsubishi died for a reason. Without dodge, they have no idea what America wants.
