Detailed analysis of the Mitsubishi Colt 3p 1.5 MIVEC Turbo Ralliart · 150 CV (2009-2010)
General description
The 2009 Mitsubishi Colt 3-door 1.5 MIVEC Turbo Ralliart is a bold and compact proposition that seeks to inject excitement into the sport utility segment. With its turbocharged engine and an aesthetic that doesn't go unnoticed, this Colt Ralliart positions itself as a spicy alternative for those seeking driving fun without sacrificing the practicality of a small car.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Colt Ralliart is pure adrenaline. Its 150 hp, extracted from a 1.5 MIVEC Turbo engine, are felt with surprising immediacy, catapulting the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds. The steering is direct and the suspension, although firm, allows for agile and fun cornering. It's a car that invites you to push it, to feel every gear change of its 5-speed manual transmission and to enjoy its ability to devour kilometers with a smile. The turbo response is forceful, offering constant thrust that pins you to the seat, while the front ventilated and rear solid disc brakes ensure effective and safe stopping. It's a small rocket that will make you feel the asphalt under your feet.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Mitsubishi Colt 3-door Ralliart is unmistakably sporty and aggressive. Its sharp lines and three-door body give it a compact and dynamic silhouette. Specific bumpers, side skirts, and a rear spoiler stand out, which not only serve an aesthetic function but also contribute to its aerodynamics. The 16-inch wheels with 205/45 R16 tires fill the wheel arches, reinforcing its image as a high-performance car. Inside, although functional, details that evoke its sporty spirit are perceived, such as seats with greater lateral support and a steering wheel that invites action. It's a design that screams 'fun' from every angle.
Technology and features
Under the hood, the technological heart of the Colt Ralliart is its 1.5 MIVEC Turbo engine. This four-cylinder engine, with indirect injection and intercooler, delivers 150 hp at 6000 rpm and a torque of 210 Nm at 3500 rpm, impressive figures for its size and weight. Mitsubishi's MIVEC variable valve timing technology optimizes power delivery and efficiency. The 5-speed manual transmission, although not the most modern, is robust and allows for total control over the power. In terms of safety, it has disc brakes on both axles and a well-tuned suspension (McPherson front and torsion beam rear) which, together with the stabilizer bars, ensure dynamic and safe handling. Its combined consumption of 6.8 l/100km is reasonable for a car of its performance.
Competition
At the time, the Mitsubishi Colt 3-door 1.5 MIVEC Turbo Ralliart faced rivals such as the Suzuki Swift Sport, the Renault Clio RS, or the MINI Cooper S. Each with its own personality, but all sharing the philosophy of offering a small, agile, and powerful car. The Colt Ralliart was distinguished by its turbo engine, which gave it a more forceful power delivery compared to some of its naturally aspirated competitors, and by its more radical and less conventional aesthetic.
Conclusion
The 2009 Mitsubishi Colt 3-door 1.5 MIVEC Turbo Ralliart is a car that, despite its compact size, offers an exciting and rewarding driving experience. It is a small 'hot-hatch' that does not seek extreme sophistication, but pure driving fun. Its turbo engine, aggressive design, and dynamic behavior make it a very interesting option for those looking for a car with character that makes them smile on every journey. It is a car to enjoy, to feel the road, and for those who value sportiness in a compact and accessible format. A true wolf in sheep's clothing, or rather, a sheep with a very, very rebellious attitude.
