Having reached its 5th generation, the Colt saw quite a number of improvements over the previous series, mostly visually.
Freshly designed, the new Colt was powered by a choice of two petrol engines with capacities of 1.3 L and 1.6 L. Despite good handling and overall good engine reliability, the Colt is not one of the safest car. Base level trims came with only a standard driver’s front airbag while anti-lock brakes were missing. However, the now aged Colt is a bargain nowadays and given the car’s low maintenance and servicing costs as well as its good fuel efficiency, its not exactly a junk-yard car.
