Just taken delivery of a M/Bishi Colt 1.5 CZ3 diesel 3 door. Using it as a run about for Mrs Petach and me for work.
It is scarlet, like Red Zed. Looks a nice car with alloys and spoiler.
The astonishing thing is the amount of legs it has for a 3 cylinder 1.5. Get it to 2000 revs and it goes lickety spit with loads of torquey grunt. And it keeps up with traffic on the m/way. I took it from Scrubbs Lane in west London, through rush hour city traffic, onto M11 at Redbridge, then M25 to Brook Street and then A12. Mix of town and motorway returned so far 50mpg.
Its a bit scary in corners as steering is over light with lack of feedback. But other than that, it is like a comfy go-kart.
I got it from Car Giant. its an 08 plate with 15k on the clock, fsh, tax til end of month, immaculate condition apart from a tiny door ding to nearsie. Leather seats, MFSW (ish), manufactures warranty til april 2011.
Makes choices easier in the morning when it comes to that "Hmmmmm the Zed or Mini Me"?
A really peppy car, and if anyone is looking for a cheapish run about, I would highly recommen one. Laughs and economy!
The car Giant experience is worth a thread all on its own. Not in a negative way, but it is like a sausage factory, meat in, skinned, then out again.
