I owned one in blue grey with the same interior for 8 years. Was reliable enough but expensive to maintain with the seals and GDI etc. The oil changes are done every 6000 kms with expensive oil or else the engine feels stiff and sluggish, so in one year I had 5 oil changes done. CVT was 100% reliable.
If it's of any value to you, unlike a Honda Fit or Jazz, these Ralliart Colt Version R were never made in left hand drive. Sorry to say the drivers and passenger seats you have there are not original Recaro bucket seats bespoke to the Ralliart Colt and older Evo Lancer models, also the shift knob is aftermarket Razo but it should be heavier than the stock Ralliart knob which was very lightweight.
Should be easy to respray the roof as a single panel, hard to win on auction I bet, gotta take what you can get, looks in overall pretty good shape, I didn't know that any oil leaks could lead to it not being allowed on the boat.
I had no idea the Colt was still being made! My first car (here in the U.S) was a 1994 Colt, it was know as a Dodge here. I actually miss that little car, great gas mileage and took a beating from 16 year old me. hahahaa good times. I would totally buy a new one if I could.
The Mitsubishi Colt was based on the Mirage/Lancer for 5 generations (1978-1983, 1983-1987, 1987-1991, 1991-1995 (last generation for Dodge/Plymouth selling it with it getting replaced by the Neon) & 1995-2002) after the 1st gen from 1962-1971 with the Colt name not being used until the Mirage/Lancer based models starting in '78 then it stopped being based on the Mirage/Lancer with the Z30 (what the one in the video is) starting in 2002-2013 (excludeing Taiwan where it's still being made and sold as the Colt Plus) then last year for 2023 the Colt nameplate was revived based on the Renault Clio.
I would just Wrap the Roof and Spoiler in Carbon maybe or Gloss Black, nice car, my favourite is the Nissan Note Nismo S, there great looking small cars, take care Derek.
I’m here and I’m from Canada 😂😂😂
I’ve been watching you for about 7-8 years… glad to see you are doing well!
Very well. The UA-cam channel has been a large part of our success. I'm really happy it turned out this way.

Did a car slam on the brakes at 11:37 or am I hearing things?
An animal, maybe bird?
There is a yellow one here in Vancouver BC. I’ve seen it on Craigslist but it didn’t sell because it was asking a ridiculous price
Almost sounded like a small dog barking followed by a kid crying
I would like to try to inport one to Florida
Outport is better 😂
Too new for Florida. Needs to be 25 years or older.
If you use a heat gun on the black plastic, it will look brand new again.
Not for long
@@MrCarGuy worked well for me. Ceramic coated after the heat gun on the exact same car.
It’ll die out and crack within the year. Been there and done that! Better off with coatings now.
Didn't know cars in 2006 still came with 4 lug wheels
4 lugs are still common in most small Asian cars, to this day.
Honda fit was and still is 4 bolt.
