My parents had this exact model, 1986 4x4, except it was brown. It was the car I took my driver's test in. The carbureted engine was weak, but our previous family vehicle was a 1973 VW Bus, so it was still an improvement.The 5 speed transmission was pretty clunky, but the push button 4 wheel drive worked well. The high center of gravity was no joke. My sister rolled it and got it totaled in the early 90s. I would say it was ahead of its time as the ancestor of the current Crossovers.

These were almost more popular in northern New England than the T115 minivans. Even before and without the AWD option they were cheaper and had MUCH better ventilation - note the wind-down second row windows, something Chrysler's homegrown vans didn't have until 2008(!) AND pop-out third row. That's important in parts of the country where non-AC cars were still the norm in the '80s.

Ours was Glacier Blue Metallic, 2WD, & an automatic, though, but it DID have the same Custom Package that this car does. It also had a manually-tuned AM-FM stereo radio with no cassette deck. NOT a star on the track by ANY means, but..........let's just say that Glacier Blue Metallic was definitely the appropriate color for ours, as it DEFINITELY had glacier-like acceleration!!!!!

I had a 91 that was damn near in perfect condition! It was AWD. Silver and dark silver. I believe in 1990 the selectable 4wd was removed due to problems and a much better viscous coupling was used from then on. I paid $900 for it in 2017. Owned it for a little over a year. Great weird car that got comments everywhere.

Not as strange as the lack of a mid-80s Mirage 5-door hatchback. They were sold only in bare-bones E trim only in 1985 at Mopar shops, and if you tried to buy one I'm sure the salesman would've moved heaven and earth to get you in an Omnirizon instead.

This was likely trying to compete with minivans, which were as popular in the 80's as SUVs are today. Honda also made their own version based on the Civic and it looked just as awkward, yet practical. Does anyone else enjoy these MW retro reviews MORE than current day reviews? I don't know...something about the simplicity and the nostalgia is more appealing to me. When I watch new car reviews and 15mins are spent talking about all the gadgets inside, I get bored.

i picked up a 1987 FWD, automatic Dodge Colt Vista, same champagne brown from this video, with 65,000 miles 6 months ago for $1000.00. Replaced all the motor mounts, did some front end tightening and repairs, new thermostat, fuel pump, flushed the fluids and gave it new plugs, wires, distributor and rotor, the ugly little thing is pulling the EPA 25 miles per gallon. the 87's are a split year, though. finding parts was a nightmare. 2 of the 4 motor mounts are not manufactured by anybody in the aftermarket. because it's so old and neither dodge nor mitsubishi claims it anymore, to find proper part numbers i had to cross reference mitsubishi starion part numbers through a mopar parts website and then i had to narrow down between the 4wd and the FWD versions and then factor in the October 1986 manufacturing changes that happened(spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor and other random shit). even then, neither mitsubishi or mopar had the parts and all my orders were cancelled. but with part numbers, ebay is usable. still, i found buying 3 of each part to be the most effective. and i've realized that the best and most accurate parts are on rockauto (not shilling for them, they just happen to have the best availability for the car) for closeout prices. i picked up 4 air filters for about $5.00. the only in-town available one is at o'reillys, it's $16.00. when i pulled in the driveway with it, my neighbor looked over at it and said, 'you either inherited that thing or you love it.' 'well, i didn't inherit it.'

The 4WD Tercel was a better built vehicle, but basically a slightly enlarged hatchback. Unfortunately they tended to rip up a lot of tires and transmissions because people used the four wheel drive option at the wrong time. Edit: Also, at the time, Japanese manufacturers still hadn't figured out how to rust proof cars for northern US states.

My childhood friend's parents had one of these, except it was the 2WD model and it was a newer facelifted version. I thought it was cool (I loved and still do love Mitsubishis from the 70s-90s), but being that their's was an automatic I'd imagine that acceleration was glacial (even though I believe the Colt Vista had fuel injection by then which might have helped a bit). Like many Mitsubishi products from this era, it eventually started burning massive amounts of oil so they traded it for a new '99 Windstar... That basket case is story for another time lol.

19+ sec 0-60 for this type of vehicle is unacceptable on its own, add a few hundred pounds of humans, air conditioning, and altitude and things become dangerous. And 24mpg is nothing to brag about. 19+ sec 0-60 on say a Chevy/Geo sprint, or a Yugo is a different story since they were marketed as single passenger commuter cars and easily broke 40mpg in normal driving
