Jut picked up my new car, replacement for the Yaris, a Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart Turbo.
First impressions - absolutely love it. Even taking it easy as I have to wear it in it is QUICK. The sound is gorgeous, throaty gurgle from the exhaust. Well-specced and spacious inside. Mitsubishi finance were doing a great deal too which is why I considered it in the first place.
this thread would, naturally, be useless without pics:

Never really paid much attention to these sort before, but thats a really nice little car especially in white and the peformance seems like something special from a little 1.5 engine! Very nice Jaimz :ptu:

Id have parked in the bay next to you, so youd have to get in the passenger door.
Because I can.
How much is one of those?
£13,350 on the road

Blimey thats good
that looks really smart, and it must be pretty rapid. just checked the specs almost 150bhp in a small light car will be great fun.
How is the handling on them?
Holds on pretty well though havent pushed it very hard yet, been pissing it down all day.
Jaimz :rock:
get a set of hankook RS2s on it, and a remap.

Nice car man, and brand new to boot a two finger salute to the economic crisis :rock:
Mate of mine had the Black Hawk version of this before he picked up a Golf GTi, swears he should have kept the Colt as it was more fun. I had a spin in one a while back, nippy little bugger!
The Yaris is already on eBay (http://tinyurl.com/38u8sl3), harsh but honest description but at least the starting price wasnt more than they gave me p/x!
