Mitsubishi Colt Review
Published: 16th March 2005
Mitsubishi Colt
How It Looks - Interior
The interior styling is very contemporary so if you are looking for a wooden dashboard then you are going to be disappointed. The fascia is simple but perfectly functional and houses all the controls and gauges the average driver would ever need. The three spoke steering wheel is leather bound and balances the design of the fascia.
The interior design includes a striking blue translucent tower which links the dashboard to the transmission tunnel, which is backlit at night providing a soothing ambience to the cabin.
In Car Entertainment and Satellite Navigation
An RDS radio with single slot CD player is standard - coupled to six speakers. Remote audio controls are located on the steering wheel. The system was easy to use and was designed for the Colt, so it is in keeping with the interior. The sound was perfectly acceptable for this class of car and we weren’t disappointed.
