Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear March 23, 2010 Share March 23, 2010 hi bros and sisters in mycarforum...i was wondering if anyone was driving the above mentioned car...it's a 1.5L MIVEC turbo producing stock 145bhp, mated to 6CVT and does 0-100kph in 8.5s...i'm considering getting a 2nd hand one, probably a 4.5yrs old selling at $38,000...it's got auto headlamps, auto tailgate, and keyless entry which can fold the mirrors, and close all windows remotely when outside the car...may i know if there are problems with the car and how to settle it??thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurty Supercharged March 23, 2010 Share March 23, 2010 so you are like me too, fancy the colt turbo. well, based on the research. it seems to be a good ride. if can, opt for the manual. more thrills and performance in power and fc as for the parts portion, i'm not sure if it is available as i understand ralliart seems to wind up lately.

Actually Ralliart didn't wind up but it downsized....the parts management moved back to Mitsubishi though. The even though the Colt Plus Ralliart got the "Ralliart" tag, it only means the tech is developed/tuned by ralliart. The car is still built by Mit so no worries C&C still honor the car. Basically the Colt Plus Ralliart is the same as the Colt Version R, the only difference is the muffler, chassis and suspension setup. Colt Plus Ralliart is more mellow while the CVR is harsher. The chassis is not reinforced unlike the CVR, but hey you got more boot space and a auto tailgate! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurty Supercharged March 23, 2010 Share March 23, 2010 my bad, kinda confuse by this colt. so they got colt version R colt plus ralliart turbo, whereby got vented bonnet. in terms of cosmetic, definitely the ralliart is a beaut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear March 23, 2010 Author Share March 23, 2010 well, is this what you all meant by the car having vents/ no vents?? this is the 2006 model (probably 1st batch) doesn't come with air-vents on the bonnet... http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...645&DL=1316 this is the 2008 model (later models) comes with air-vent intake on the bonnet... http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...886&DL=1000 i personally like the more discreet model aka--model without the bonnet vent/scoop... as for the interior, yes, i'll check if it comes with safety windows, auto headlights, electric tailgate...etc... thanks.

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear March 23, 2010 Author Share March 23, 2010 oh??? so the Colt Plus Turbo is tuned by Ralliart too?? i thought Mitsubishi just added a turbo to the CPT...i didn't notice any Ralliart badges and stuff... it's a really different car to the Colt Ralliart Turbo...that's really a ghastly car... haha... [laugh] but eitherway, even if Ralliart closes down, C&C has already stopped selling the CPT... spare parts should be only available at the scraps???

Kenmical Clutched March 24, 2010 Share March 24, 2010 No doubt that the older version is discreet but pls also understand that the vent is much more than aesthetic purpose. Heard that there is a tendency of higher operating temp for older models. With the vent hot air escape easier and faster. After all discreet or not there is still a turbo inside the engine bay ya. Then again you can buy one vented bonnet and fix it on too. well, is this what you all meant by the car having vents/ no vents?? this is the 2006 model (probably 1st batch) doesn't come with air-vents on the bonnet... http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...645&DL=1316 this is the 2008 model (later models) comes with air-vent intake on the bonnet... http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...886&DL=1000 i personally like the more discreet model aka--model without the bonnet vent/scoop... as for the interior, yes, i'll check if it comes with safety windows, auto headlights, electric tailgate...etc... thanks.

Kenmical Clutched March 24, 2010 Share March 24, 2010 Cars here lifespan officially expires in 10yrs. So no matter what C&C or stockist will have their way of getting you the parts you need. Just how much you are willing to fork out. oh??? so the Colt Plus Turbo is tuned by Ralliart too?? i thought Mitsubishi just added a turbo to the CPT...i didn't notice any Ralliart badges and stuff... it's a really different car to the Colt Ralliart Turbo...that's really a ghastly car... haha...

Nazhackerz Neutral Newbie March 27, 2010 Share March 27, 2010 maintenance for the colt plus ralliart is quite alot because of the turbo..........same goes for the fuel consumption. I would not recommend you to get it, especially if it secondhand. Parts for this car is also expensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STAY STOCK. cheers :) actually booting the turbo pressure might or might not hurt the gear box.... for the case u see.. those ppl are those who set the pressure too high pushing their engine to product over 250bhp.... well this is possible but gearbox might not be able to take it in long run... as stock pressure is @ 0.4 bar... having a boots controller with Unichip tuning... set to 0.8 bar or 1 bar is enough for CVR.... wat i recommand is tune untill 200bhp is good enough le.. don go beyond that...

I would not recommend you to get it, especially if it secondhand. Parts for this car is also expensive. actually not all turbo car are high on FC.... for CVR can easily product 1L/12km... that very good for turbo car... i think some non-turbo car cant even have 1L/12km... To Kungming : as for insurance, again not all turbo car can be expensive... look at Honda civic... their insurance also not very cheap...
