Not too keen myself. My friend has one and I found it really boring to drive. They are suppoed to be relativley cheap to insure, but replacement parts are quite expensive.

theres a site called www.mitsucolt.co.uk and that white car belong 2 matt the bloke that started the site,his wifes running my g/f old car,his conversion cost about 5k,most on there r a friendly bunch.the std 1.6 cjo (the 1 after matts car) look nice but 96-98 cars only have 90bhp,latter ones have 102bhp,but still slow,u gotta spend more money 2 get any power out of them,than u wud with a 1.6 or valver,the cyborgs r good ,but go for too much money,plus they lack torque as well.on the plus side they r bullet proof.
hope this helps

Girl I know has an FTO engined wide arched one, this is my best mates' Colt too
Keep them clean/subtle and they look nice, something a bit different. Its never going to be fast unless you do an engine swap etc
