Colt Ralliart 1 previous owner

[Pork Sausage]

Picked up this yesterday in Scotland - pre-registered then 1 owner from new and covered just over 44000 miles with FSH. Owner stated driven very gently from new and drives like a new car. Currently have another 2 of the same model as they get under your skin and this is a certain keeper.

Apart from the usual red lacquer peel no issues at all and it's nice and standard.

What advantages does the ralliart give on a colt? I had an L200 ralliart and it gave a whole 20hp more than standard., whereas a ralliart lancer was quite a step up from a standard car!

Slightly improved suspension, wee turbo attached to proven engine derived from 80's, decent mpg considering performance.

Just find them an all round decent car, albeit rare up this way.

Would be good to hear more. Love small, quick-ish cars like this but don't know much about them. In my mind I've always bracketed them with Panda 100HP and Ignis Sport.

[Pork Sausage]

Ignis sport occasionally suffered with coolant issues. Decent suspension set up but found too bouncy for passengers (at least locally). Good b-road capabilities

Often looked for a Panda 100hp

Don't want to say too much about the Ralliart - those who know, know!

Presumably that's a UK car then and not one of the infrequent imports you see?

I can't see your pic unfortunately.

I'd say they were a bracket above. More of a Fiesta MK6 ST (150) competitor and a hot, as opposed to warm, hatch, when they were released.

There is a 5th gear video where they test the two of them.

CZT slightly different to Ralliart - suspension and aesthetic improvements. Traction control easily disabled if required. Lukewarm vehicles.

Fiesta felt heavy. Fix Or Repair Daily acronym says it all.

If only Tiff could drive 🙄
