1.5L MIVEC engine :p
i might take one of these for a drive, are they out already, ill just take my gfs car and say im looking at getting something new. But i believe they only come out in auto
too bad it doesnt have 7spd mode like the jazz.. i wonder how many kw does it have..
not a big fan of the rear..but front looks pretty hot .. i still would choose the jazz over it...since we get new facelift anyways...
at a glance, one could mistake that as a Jazz, but not my cup of tea tho. :)
They are cvt autos and on paper are just under the Jazz on power output. On the road they are no where close. They aren't to bad BUT not even in the same league as a Jazz in build quality, ride comfort, performance, and handling.
P.S. I work at a Honda dealer and Mitsubishi got real busy so I got relocated for 2 weeks. So I have road tested both cars with under 10km on the clock.
just to assist some peeps :)

what a copy cat
In Japan, no one by Mitsubishi car anymore......i m not surprise they have a recall within 6mths after they launch.
Yeh they seem ok,
I just hate the way all the new econ cars are going, the dome shape with the tiny bloody engine bays!
Whats with the lack of sedans, its like theyre all mini sport hatches, I really do prefer the mid 90 model cars
hmm...
this is not much of a competitor to the Honda Jazz
the Citroen C2 VTR is more of a competitor than this Colt
jazz/ fit look better!!!
isnt it somewhere around the same power output as the jazz, its either 80kw or 79kw if i remember reading somewhere correctly
hey thats some pretty funky headlights!
Yeah they're all trying to copy the Jazz, the Daewoo Kalos and now this...
VTEC OWNS!!! :D
1.5L VTi engine produces 81kWQuote:

Colt's 1.5L engine -> 72kW
http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com.au/...3.14%3A21%3A48
went to test drive one today
only comes in auto
the shifter is on the steering coloum....just like the old Tarago!!
even more resembles a "van"
seats are "bucketed" but doesn't do anything unless you're massively overweight...
the breaks, well....it's a mitsubishi...compared to the Echo and Jazz....this thing feels like it's going to fall apart under brakes....
the power output isn't too bad actually...but braking around corners and power out...automatic Jazz still feels better...
how abt the interior?Quote:

colt? pfft!
when they say colt i always think of the rusty POS bright yellow smoke crap heap you see in high school car parts with a pokemon hanging from the rear view mirror with a "the beast" sticker on the back :thumbdwn:
colt sucks balls, jazz all the way mofos!!
the finish of the interior is quite nice...Quote:

When it comes to power, the Jazz still beats it... VTEC power!!! But anyways, I think the Colt still a worthy opponent for the Jazz... Have a look at this Kenstyle Colts

kenstyle kits are nice,

surely this is the new rival??
the new swift?
http://us1.webpublications.com.au/st...04108_00mg.jpg
in my eyes, this swift looks good..but jazz has little more power and torque
if it is a Gti which come out later this year, it will OWN jazz totally
Amen to that! I think the current Swift (latest one) has 74 kw and weights about the same as Jazz, therefore only loss out abit! Therefore when GTI comes out, should own Jazz for sure! <--in terms of power only though. I think Jazz still have the best interior space!Quote:

The swift on the other hand, is funky, fun, spacious with a nice interior, and jam packed FULL of extras. This this will be the biggest selling small car by far in a few months, because , for what you get, ITS CHEAP!!!!
imagine dumping the swift with wheels.... hehehe..... i reckon might look better than jazz.....
Might as well include the Corolla Hatch.
Not really .. Jazz rivals are Mazda2, Ford Fiesta, Colt, Swift, Echo, C3.. (small car market)Quote:

hasneone looked at the Citroen C2 VTR? i love the looks of it *looks at jimmy to provide a pic8 : )
if that thing more power i'd trade in my EK4 today
Gti Swift is 1.8L
Price wise, there's not that much seperating the small - medium cars to the small cars.Quote:

Hey guys has anyone of you seen the Best Motoring January 2003 edition. Where all the small cars was put to the test in Japan. There was a part there where the Jazz was up against the Toyota Ist, Nissan Cube, a Peugot I think, Mazda Demio (Mazda2)... Man the Jazz phaked them all up!! hehehhe :) They couldn't even catch up to the Jazz on the track.... :)
ye, I've test drove the C2 VTR..... nice looks, climate control, rain sensor... its got all the goodies..... BUT..... very small inside.... and $26500 is asking for too much...... :)Quote:

ahcash: serious man... the Jazz left them for dead... it was already finished before it even started. The Jazz already left them from the get go. and the cars mind you was driven by professional japanese race car drivers... hehehhehhe :) Oh by the way.. the Jazz that they used in that Best Motoring episode is a Honda Jazz 1.5 VTEC.
Oh before I forget... speaking of Rivals for Jazz, the Colt has a RalliArt Version in Japan!!! :)
hey thanx sunny... anymore??? hehehe...i love to get the swift gti..... cant wait for the car to come out.....Quote:

MIVEC (is the mitsubishi VTEC thingy isn't it?)
JAZZ SOHC 1.5L VTEC output 81 kW
SO overall.. JAZZ win :P
Swift is still a Suzuki and Jazz is a Honda.
Swift does look cool though.
Check out these concepts

nice.... looks stylish... but i bet the interior is cheap... just like hte corolla.
wonder how jazz look like if it is a 2 door version..
someone got a choped one?
u bet??? hehehe... have u seen the current swift???? interior so far is very good.... i think comparable with jazz..... and i am pretty sure the more expensive gti would have better interior quality.....Quote:

Jazz pwns it :D
^ that photochop looks very bad imo... oh well. should be shorter as well. but meh ;)
that swift... reminds me of a mini cooper
:rolleyes:Quote:

It's like saying an M3 will have a better quality interior than the base model 320Ci coupe at almost half the price...It won't happen because the same parts are used.
try this one..

hehe..
that kenstyle colt is hot!! damn!
imo, the swift has a ugly back end, but still nice... i like the jazz more though for looks, but need a 2 door variant i thinks
Dunno the rear on the colt seems alittle 2 flat for me
loving the jazz's how good do they look when they are modified!
the two door Swift is made in Hungary (spelling?) and only for Europian market.... only the 4 door ones are made in japan.... as I read somewhere.... Aus will never get the 2 door Swift..... :( I personally think it looks great....
wtf??? nice!!! tho i'd still get an S2k than spend the money doing that to my jazz ;)Quote:

in anycase i tot the interior plastic is crap. a/c dials feels liket its gonna fall off...
Went and found the website for Ralliart ColtQuote:

Damn, it's having a 108kw 1.5 L Mivec Engine! I would definitely like to see how any Jazz would match that up! Man, why can't we have a ralliart Colt!
well..... let's just wait for the Type R version of Jazz to come out then....... sooner or later.....
neverQuote:

in that case..... I don't think the Ralliart Colt is ever gonna make it downunder either then..... :)
If there's a Fit Type R, i would love to grab one :) But is there one in jap as yet or is it just in Aus?
Fit Type-R!? neverQuote:

http://www.citroen.com.au/cms/images...4/04105205.jpg
I thought our rival to Citroen was the C2 not the C4
C2 man
C4 is in different class already
yea ^^
thought we could order jazz type-s from the dealer man... heheh.....
