For some odd reason I am strangely attracted to this, new price is shocking, nearly new prices seem to be reasonable, any views/opinions?

I do like them tbh

Had a look at one when I was looking for the Roadster Brabus, very smart inside and out.

I'd book yourself a test drive, if you do let me know how you get on

Was in with dealer last week, but was during my lunch break so didn't have time to get a drive, just got to sit in it while he attempted the hardest sell I have ever been subjected to, the man was on a mission due to it being end of the month and being one car down on his targets, offering a 6 month old model w/ 8k on clock, ex-demo for 11.5k, very nice inside, everything is very chunky and well finished, lot of plastic though, but suitably impressed with leather seats and Brabus extras, am thinking about trading in the Octy for it, very tempted, just a completely different ethos to VAG-made cars, seem a lot more 'exciting' for want of a better word, need a test drive though...

AFAIK it's the 1.5 turbo from the colt running 170bhp - can't be too shabby in a car that size.

Supposed to be good in accidents too

0-60 in 6.9 secs, top speed 137mph, the one I was looking at last week was sold at weekend, just my luck, probably bit early to change car anyway, they won't have another ex-demo for another 5-6 months, so will have to look at my options then...

here is a higher spec'd, cheaper alternative: http://mitsubishi-colt-czt.sgpetch.co.uk/

I saw the 4-4 in Italy a couple of years back and laughed at it then...... still makes me chuckle now as it just looks odd.

Theres nothing in particular I dont like, its just an odd looking car.

The roadster on the other hand is a lot nicer.

And here's one that looks better ...

Don't like them at all. The front looks like a Peugeot 306 (with stick on light masks) the middle looks like a Fiat Panda and the back looks like a Citroen C1.

It looks awful to me. :thumbdwn:

Interioir looks funky though.

What !!!! 24,900 Euros !!! Behave... Just as rediculous as some of these silly Mini Coopers.

Have come to my senses, am now looking at Clio 172 cup, going to look at one/test drive tomorrow, 2002 example in blue, slightly put-off by lack of ABS/traction control :eek: Which member on here recently bought a clio 182? Evo magazine rates them highly and they usually bomb about in
