What do you think of the Mitsubishi Colt?

I'm thinking about buying a Mitsubishi Colt convertible, two years old, 6,000 on the clock, £8,500. Are they any good? What do you think?

Not very good, no. A bit like driving someone's home-made greenhouse. Not worth £8,500. Test here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/mitsubishi/mitsubi.../
