Detailed analysis of the Mitsubishi Colt CZT 1.5 16v Turbo · 150 CV (2007-2008)
General description
The 2005 Mitsubishi Colt CZT 1.5 16v Turbo is a bold and compact proposition that seeks to inject excitement into the subcompact segment. With its turbocharged engine and sporty aesthetics, this Colt is not just any car; it's a statement of intent for those looking for more than just a means of transport. Its price of €16,871 in 2007 positioned it as an attractive option for dynamic driving enthusiasts.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Colt CZT, excitement is guaranteed. Its 150 HP, extracted from a 1.5 petrol engine with turbo and intercooler, are felt with surprising immediacy. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h are figures that invite fun. The electric power steering and the front McPherson suspension, along with the rear torsion beam suspension, offer agile and direct handling, although perhaps a bit firm for everyday use. The 5-speed manual gearbox allows you to make the most of the engine's potential, making every journey a vibrant experience. It's a car that asks to be driven with enthusiasm, transmitting pure sportiness.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 3-door Mitsubishi Colt CZT is unmistakably sporty and youthful. Its compact and muscular lines, with a 3-door body, give it an energetic presence. The specific details of the CZT version, such as the 16-inch wheels with 205/45 R16 tires, the 281 mm ventilated front brake discs and the 250 mm rear discs, not only improve performance but also enhance its aggressive aesthetics. The interior, although functional, focuses on the driving experience, with a cabin that, despite its compact dimensions (3820 mm long, 1695 mm wide and 1520 mm high), offers 5 seats and a 155-liter trunk, sufficient for daily use.
Technology and features
Under the hood, the Colt CZT hides a 1,468 cc 4-cylinder, 16-valve gasoline engine, which thanks to indirect injection, turbo, and intercooler, delivers 150 HP at 6000 rpm and a torque of 210 Nm at 3500 rpm. This engine, with an iron block and aluminum cylinder head, is the heart of its sporty character. The 5-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) complete a mechanical assembly focused on efficiency and performance. In terms of safety, it has disc brakes on both axles and a well-tuned suspension for optimal control. Its combined consumption of 6.8 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 161 g/km place it in the DGT's C label.
Competition
At the time, the Mitsubishi Colt CZT faced rivals such as the Renault Clio Sport, the Opel Corsa OPC, or the Suzuki Swift Sport. All of them shared the philosophy of offering high performance in a compact and affordable format. The Colt CZT stood out for its turbo engine, which gave it a very linear power delivery and a playful character, differentiating itself from some of its competitors who opted for larger displacement naturally aspirated engines. Its value for money and distinctive aesthetics made it an interesting alternative for those looking for a 'hot hatch' with a different touch.
Conclusion
The 2005 Mitsubishi Colt CZT 1.5 16v Turbo is a car that, despite its size, leaves an indelible mark. It is a vehicle that invites you to enjoy every curve, to feel the road, and to experience the thrill of speed. Its sporty design, powerful turbo engine, and agility make it an ideal option for those looking for a subcompact with a sporty soul. It is a car that does not go unnoticed and undoubtedly offers a gratifying and characterful driving experience. A compact gem for enthusiasts.
