Adnan steps into the driver's seat to review Mitsubishi's 2011 Colt Ralliart. Is this the hot hatch it looks like on paper? Can it win us over in the week we've got to play around with it? Watch Car Throttle's latest video review by hitting the play button...

[@carzakone333]

I have the Colt Ralliart Version R called "z27ag", they are like Asian/Japanese base model, it has better look and better power output, 154hp, this Version R colt is faster than Swift Sport and it is the fastest on its class, almost match up to class like Civic type R, and you can hook up plenty of storage or go out with friends or family, this is one of the best little rockets that you can get

[@Cydro12]

I've got the CZT, It's basically the three door version, but with a different nose. I've got full options, such as a glass roof which slides open into the roof itself and full leather seats. It's probably the fastest of the newer Colts, as it's the lightest one of them all. I'd really recommend it to others!

[@Real_Represent]

Cameraman: how close do you want the close-up to be? My dude: yes

[@dancinglizard6034]

i own a 2011 Mitsubishi Colt and i love the car :D good looking and fun to drive!!! and bulletproof reliability

[@Dr23rippa]

Worth buying one for £2-3k???

[@japraptcars5338]

@@Dr23rippa yes!

[@johnnyshines5899]

Drove my 1.1 cz1 from Slough to Torquay and back last weekend , that’s 400 miles cruising at 90mph no problem, only thing I’ve noticed is alternator belt pulley squealing and making the power steering heavy but mines done 100 thousand miles so is expected

[@johnnyshines5899]

Dr23rippa you can buy a 2008 version for under a grand worth it as these things just go and go like most Japan cars so much better than the Clio I used to own

[@TheFootballDude18]

@@johnnyshines5899 I can buy a 2010 1.3 manual, 5 door, with 88k kilometers, 50k ish miles.. Should I? Hate the look compared to my Mazda 323, but I need a new car asap!

[@Быб-л6в]

Now I have a simple Colt from 2004, and it’s a cool car. It’s a car from my childhood, my grandpa was driving it, I learned how to drive with colt. An extremely durable vehicle, almost no corrosion in hard russian climate, survives our awful roads, very maneuverable and simple to repair. Also it’s much more bigger inside, than it seems. I feel myself comfortable with my 195cm height. I love colt, even call him “Malets” (little boy)

[@souljaruman1]

The 3 door version is the one to get! Looks great, especially the Evo-esque grille and rear end...

[@fishrsa9046]

going through CT vids from the start, Adnan gets more hench with every vid

[@CarThrottle]

Thanks Shravan! I filmed this around 2 years ago now, so might be worth me taking another look at the Colt Ralliart.

[@MrFlipiddy]

As others have said, the 3 door is a much better looker. Interior quality isn't brilliant, but you buy this for the engine which is plenty fun. It can be economical on longer runs too. Good review all-round, just wish you'd tried the 3 door.

[@johnnyshines5899]

Andrew Brough I have the little 1.1 litre version it gets 50mpg but still is very nippy for such a small engine , very long gear ratios nearly hitting 60 in 2nd gear lol

[@afterpanic1429]

I also have the Colt 1.3, I like it a lot but I am going to sell it next year at around 60.000 km. I can relate with almost everything you said about the car. I drive it all day long and feel great in it. I also have the 2-door version with a spoiler and aluminum rims and absolutely love how it looks.

[@mathiasmadsen3269]

The Colt Ralliart is a really underated car, the engine is fantastic and it looks really cool. The inside is a bit to much plastic and low budget like, but that is okay. Because its really fun to drive! And if you tune the engine a little bit its actually just as fast as a Golf GTI. The only real downside for me is fuel economy.

[@CarThrottle]

@arabianking59 Bit of an exaggeration - I did mention not being a fan of the styling, aspects of the interior and price point. However I was very complimentary about the engine unit, the gearbox, other interior aspects (multi-function Ralliart add-on and seats) and driving pleasure. And that's where the Colt Ralliart pulls back points. So definitely very far from being a bad car.

[@CarThrottle]

Thanks Ernest, really appreciate the kind words!

[@duncandehulst2016]

Aaaah, the time that everything suddenly went 50-60 fps, because KZbin allowed it, so good to see

[@CarThrottle]

@radev87 Thanks dude. The Ralliart does actually have a nice low grumble of a note and a sweet turbo whine when it spools up. I've driven noisier cars (like the Fiat 500)!

[@Munibahmad241]

older ones looked meaner

[@BluTrollPro]

+Mechanical Pakii Eh. I disagree, imo the older ones look more grown up and sensible which doesnt really suit small hot hatches. I love the mini Evo-X look pulled off by the 3dr version.

[@juandef4115]

CAElite it does if you want a sleeper

[@Kabes1996]

I brought one 2 month as my first car 59 plate Whenever i look at the front of the car it has that angry face

[@emmettmulroy6138]

If you really think the older one doesn't look sportier try a cyborg

[@grringoadios]

I own the 3door for 9 year and I will keep it forever

[@johnnyshines5899]

I own the tiny 1.1 litre version but good lord it’s nippy for what it is 120mph on motorway and 60mph in 9.5 seconds not bad for what it is

[@farhadhossain5067]

Back when Adnan used to do everything in CT

[@pollumG]

leave the cable in the car??

[@samsung3.0notetab47]

hahaha ikr that's exactly what I thought this guy is lazy as

[@MrJimbobDP]

i think its a good looking car

[@johnnyshines5899]

Jimbob Randoms The 3 door version looks similar to an older Civic type R especially if lowered , avoid the 4 door model as looks awful

[@stephenowens5375]

Was looking at a swift new shape about 4 years old 5 door 136bhp 118lb/ft torque and not very easy to tune for about £6500 with 50k miles. Have seen 6year old 1.5turbo czt mint with fsh, 5 door with 45k miles and 147bhp for £4500. For an extra £300 these are easily tuned to 200bhp with 210lb/ft torque. Guess if its performance being the main criteria then enough said.

[@CarThrottle]

@ayoubi2004 Are you naturally aspirated or turbocharged? I'm sure it's not the latter. What a n00b...

[@CarThrottle]

Thanks so much, really glad you're enjoying them! :)

[@AbandonEarth911]

Give the Colt Ralliart a stage 1 ecutek remap only £350 with 190bhp and a kerb weight of only 1060 kilo this pocket rocket flies.

[@CarThrottle]

Thanks for watching!

[@theadamh123]

The 3 dr looks much much much much better!

[@savvasa.4064]

Hello everyone! Lemme tell you smthg... I do have a colt ralliart and (6:11) it doesn't have torque steer, suspension is not firm it's actually too soft for this car and the thing doesn't corner extreamly well due to high center of gravity and finally no the steering is not sharp but you do have great feedback..

[@isuk]

My left ear rn

[@lazarnedeljkovic5615]

Ikr

[@KIOGORANICK]

I had to check if my right earphone was okay 👎🏽

[@mediawmlv3126]

The audio levels on this video really need sorting. I had to turn up the volume to hear the talking, then when the music kicks in, I had to keep turning it back down.

[@happygorilla8518]

is it the older ones only in Australia that have the bonnet scope and Blue dash?

[@cosmicsman666]

Mitsubishi spent the most time improving reliability over plush interiors. Proven engines and decent looks.

[@ColtThrottle]

Did you say "box-shaped" at 1:30? That's why you HAVE to have the 3doors when going for this car.

[@roryhenniganwilson1]

11 years later I’m watching this 🤷‍♂️😂

[@BowlerNo1]

Just to add your videos are superb and well put together, good job! :)

[@evildiesel1709]

"A little bit of plastic is not going to hurt anyone" - famous last words lol! Great video. I actually like the look of that Colt. The only 1.5l petrols I can find here are convertible types. Are they turboed?

[@magn0rm]

I hope it reaches the US. I love to get the 3 door version.

[@CarThrottle]

Thanks!

[@Mikejames1080]

That sound like some car. I'm looking to get one, but it will probably be the 1.3 as it's my first car.

[@myomyataung8546]

The 1.3 is pretty good too. My friend has one.

[@bxnbrch]

my left ear loved this video

[@ayoubi2004]

I love showing my friends my engine. Its all about 1.5L these days.

[@CockatooDude]

I really like the way they've integrated the gearshifter, instead of the saggy leather, it's a cool concentric compressy circle thing, which actually looks good, because they didn't stack them on top of each other like they did in the 90's.

[@MrTofu86]

i just love this car... its the same car as a smart forfour so technically this car will put me to smile every time i shift the gears

[@Ellie_Melloy]

How is this such a quality video from 2011?

[@Real_Represent]

Where did this man go

[@TheCarArchives96]

the 2002-present Mitsubishi Colt is assembled in Born, Netherlands Okazaki, Aichi, Japan Taoyuan, Taiwan

[@BobMarley-nj3cw]

Which do you guys like better jdm ver or US ver?? I have jdm colt ralliart version R.

[@AbandonEarth911]

Great handling and very quick through the gears with decent fuel economy , re-map for a few hundred quid and you have 0-60 in under seven seconds bye bye to the likes of the swift etc.Rarity value is a + point a wolf in sheeps clothing.Sporty clios mini coopers etc they are on every street corner. Minus point yes the trim is a bit plasticy but its well put together and you have to watch out for the obstructive front windscreen pillar.The test driver must have had a loose chair,as mine is fine.

[@gmoduk93]

Very good review, Im looking to buy one of these but I will most probably get the 3 door version. Thanks for the info!

[@Br41th]

Did the version-R ever make it to the UK?

[@ELLELL99]

It's a five door reliable hot hatch, I'd love one

[@Clesarie]

I hate how they dont sell these stateside because i'd honestly buy one to have a compliment to my evo 9 and my gst.

[@shravanrunnoo133]

You're review is spot on!

[@AbandonEarth911]

The 3door and the 5door produce the same BHP.

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

The shape reminds me of the highly ignored and fun little Daihatsu YRV 130 Turbo

[@DataC0llect0r]

I want to but the CZ3 1.3L version from 2009. But should I really do it?

[@JayGamer18]

Someone please answer, I'm also considering a CZ3

[@Nolkyo]

+DataC0llect0r The 1.3L Cleartec is really good, I have it and I'm pretty happy about it, it has similar mpg to diesel and the motor sound is enjoyable

[@ScottZ370]

You would need to lower it if you got one, and it would probably hide the height

[@CarThrottle]

@gmoduk93 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Please subscribe to the channel for the latest video reviews!

[@radev87]

good review mate, I really do like the colt but the only reason I would not get it is cuz it seems to be very noise, and I like quite cars. ;)

[@darkeclipse693]

I'd love to have one of these, but not available in USA

[@REDxFROG]

Torque steer at just 210Nm? And he does blame only the front wheel drive concept for it? What kind of joke is this?

[@caioronnau5226]

Alex, you look different

[@chopshop85]

I honestly don't understand new cars. When he mentioned £14,500 I just thought of the sort used performance car you could get for that money. I say performance because that's what this is trying to be.

[@meryuk]

I would show it to my mates. Somehow I like all Japanese cars.
