    I've owned one of these for a few years and can say they are so much fun to drive! Mine has some mods such as a FMIC + BOV and is tested at 160kw which is pretty impressive at just 1130kg weight. Other cars often try to race me and often get a nasty surprise LOL

    Another great video, Liam! I have seen these cars about and have always wondered what they were like, so thanks for the review. I've been watching your channel since I stumbled across your video on the CD5 accord, as I own one too (and love it to pieces). Kudos to you for the consistent uploads on the channel, especially recently - must take a lot of work. Your presentation style is very Clarkson-esque. Love the deadpan humor and interesting takes on the range of cars you've featured. Big support from Palmy North mate, keep it up!

    I took a test drive in the European version of this car, the Colt CZT which was 3 door only.
    I have to say I was very impressed, with only 148 bhp but weighing in at about a tonne it was very rapid.
    There's a tuning company that is running one in a championship & it's got 450 bhp from that tiny 1.5, needless to say it's winning a lot.

    I was looking at one of these many moons ago as a bit of a run around beater as they were pretty cheap.
    Ended up going with an 1999 nz new manual N15 Pulsar hatch which I drove 200,000kms over a few years of ownership relatively trouble free.
    When I lived in Featherston for a while there was a neighbour who used to daily drive one over the rimutaka hill, seemed to be a reliable and fun little car.
    Good vid mate!

    Yeah these have extra work done to stiffen the chassis up. I believe they might have been seam welded too. Pretty good value compared to the other hatches. Suppose its closest competitor is the Swift Sport which is a bit of a basic (boring) choice imo
    Feel like these might be properly fast in the hills but I never run into owners who push them that hard.

    You can get a hybrid turbo from ebay for these colts or the euro versios and run these about 260 hp on a stock engine or a td05 turbo from an evo and run 300+ bhp on a stock engine too.

    Just got normal 1.5 Colt for daily beater and i'm impressed of the car.Its funny how the normal colt has better quality interior as it has soft dashboard and door panels my guess would be they traded quality in the ralliart for the performance.I wish I had the ralliart but its nowhere to be found where I live.

      Correct, I own what is to be considered the “holy grail” amongst owners… A Red 06 RColt with the Evo 8MR Recaros and have the Enkei’s as displayed in the video.
      With nothing more than a front mount intercooler (XR6 turbo falcon ones fit easily) an exhaust, some injectors, a fuel pump and a tune they can quite easily have 140kw at the fronts, even more on e85.
      Lowered mine on aftermarket springs and soon to add a rear stabiliser bar but my gosh it handles sooooo well 🥺
      Almost (and I mean almost) is my favourite car I own. That honour probably goes to the Ralliart Magna I have (132 of 500 made)

      Used to own one, currently got a Zc32 Swift sport. The Colt is super reliable . Parts are actually quite expensive compared to other cars in its Class and the aftermarket support isn't great In NZ . Both my outer CVS went had to buy complete driveshafts, clutch isn't cheap has a fork attached, timing belt kits ain't cheap for them. Few other things. Other then that there a great car kinda like a Starlet turbo but with a more rigid chassis. Swift Sports are bloody great cars to but guess it depends on what model, because the older ones that are non turbo feel abit gutless and have no low down torque. But are super reliable and I reckon handles better than the Colt to.
