Thanks for Watching! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I've owned one of these for a few years and can say they are so much fun to drive! Mine has some mods such as a FMIC + BOV and is tested at 160kw which is pretty impressive at just 1130kg weight. Other cars often try to race me and often get a nasty surprise LOL
Oh yeah man they're awesome aye
What did you do besides the fmic to get the power up to 160kw?
@@87doctorevili think he lied a bit about 160kw but 150kw is in range for sure, it needs bigger intercooler, cold intake, remap, and exhaust would help too
Another great video, Liam! I have seen these cars about and have always wondered what they were like, so thanks for the review. I've been watching your channel since I stumbled across your video on the CD5 accord, as I own one too (and love it to pieces). Kudos to you for the consistent uploads on the channel, especially recently - must take a lot of work. Your presentation style is very Clarkson-esque. Love the deadpan humor and interesting takes on the range of cars you've featured. Big support from Palmy North mate, keep it up!
Thanks man!
I recently bought a 1.5 CZT (standards @ 150hp), which the previous owner lowered, upgraded the suspension and chipped engine to 170 hp (ish??, there's no paperwork) but it is brilliant, and I recognize a lot of characteristics from the video. Delightful little pocket-rocket.
That’s awesome man! Yeah I imagine it would be a lot of fun
perfect review. driven like someone who loves cars. well done man.
Thanks!
I recognize that road. I used to live nearby. As always great content. Keep it up mate!
Thanks man yeah somewhere in central Auckland
Awesome bro!! I just ordered 1. It will be fuel efficient, reliable and a fast car for sure
Awesome!
I'm never gonna stop commenting this 😂 BUT INCLUDE 0-100 IN YOUR VIDEOS !!!
Yes really should do that sorry
I got one yesterday, got the recaro edition with the factory option evo8mr seats, so impressed with this lil car!!!
Nice!
I took a test drive in the European version of this car, the Colt CZT which was 3 door only.
I have to say I was very impressed, with only 148 bhp but weighing in at about a tonne it was very rapid.
There's a tuning company that is running one in a championship & it's got 450 bhp from that tiny 1.5, needless to say it's winning a lot.
Goodness yeah that's heaps haha. Goes well enough stock tho
Please keep making videos. I can see you reaching 100,000 subs in the near future
That's the plan! Thanks man
I was looking at one of these many moons ago as a bit of a run around beater as they were pretty cheap.
Ended up going with an 1999 nz new manual N15 Pulsar hatch which I drove 200,000kms over a few years of ownership relatively trouble free.
When I lived in Featherston for a while there was a neighbour who used to daily drive one over the rimutaka hill, seemed to be a reliable and fun little car.
Good vid mate!
Thanks man!
I feel like a VZ-R would have been a decent competitor to the Colt
surprised that the colt can be this good
Me too!
Gratuluje ekstra fura robi wrażenie. Ja mam colta 1,3 daje rade fajne zrywne autko😊.
Yes
You guys get all the good stuff, an cheap over there.
Yeah true we do haha
Yeah these have extra work done to stiffen the chassis up. I believe they might have been seam welded too. Pretty good value compared to the other hatches. Suppose its closest competitor is the Swift Sport which is a bit of a basic (boring) choice imo
Feel like these might be properly fast in the hills but I never run into owners who push them that hard.
I can let you know some owners that do... in nice mountain roads these are a beast.
@@adriansuva3952 yeah man I was certainly impressed! Definitely an upgrade over a swift sport
Good review I have a colt Ralliart 3 door not many left in the uk, just turned 60k miles, every drive is fun folk keep telling me to park it up in a shed, if you look after them with services etc nothing goes wrong with them.
Awesome!
They are great cars, I have a czc turbo, not very many of them at all! And mine has 45k miles :)
YOOO, someone up my hill has one, it sounds insane!!
Haha nice
Wow this car is surely underrated. I saw this car in Best Motoring match and it was just destroying other rivals (Tuned Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift Sports etc).
It’s awesome aye
I remember when drivingy 1.5 kia rio manual trying to catch up the mini colt in front of me but unfortunately i dint get even closer when he notice me trying to overtake his car. Then i started looking for colt here in Australia and buy one cuz its fucking fast even do its not too preatty...😅
You can get a hybrid turbo from ebay for these colts or the euro versios and run these about 260 hp on a stock engine or a td05 turbo from an evo and run 300+ bhp on a stock engine too.
Dang that is many
You made me look at the used car ad, again!😂
Haha nice!
Just got normal 1.5 Colt for daily beater and i'm impressed of the car.Its funny how the normal colt has better quality interior as it has soft dashboard and door panels my guess would be they traded quality in the ralliart for the performance.I wish I had the ralliart but its nowhere to be found where I live.
Nice!
Yeah its a normal or stock 1.5 but its fucking fast than my 1.5 kia rio sedan...
omg.! why colt. Give some late 90s Galant/Legnum VR4 review.. BTW, thanks for the video.
All good
I love my 1,3 16v with 95hp. No need for turbos
Fair enough
Remember when they first come out they had Recaro Seats in it
Yeah Sad they dropped them later on
Ahh didn't know that
Would be interesting to do a comparison video with my Vitz RS TRD Turbo!? since they're both 1.5L turbos hot hatches. I'm in Auckland too btw lol
That would be very interesting
A Japanese video on TH-cam (that includes Drift King Tsuchiya) shows the Vitz vs a Colt and some other cars in the same class like the Fit. The Colt blew everyone out of the water
A limited number of these came with the same Recaro seats as the EVO think it was a factory option when brought new in Japan
That's cool!
Correct, I own what is to be considered the “holy grail” amongst owners… A Red 06 RColt with the Evo 8MR Recaros and have the Enkei’s as displayed in the video.
With nothing more than a front mount intercooler (XR6 turbo falcon ones fit easily) an exhaust, some injectors, a fuel pump and a tune they can quite easily have 140kw at the fronts, even more on e85.
Lowered mine on aftermarket springs and soon to add a rear stabiliser bar but my gosh it handles sooooo well 🥺
Almost (and I mean almost) is my favourite car I own. That honour probably goes to the Ralliart Magna I have (132 of 500 made)
Friend of mine has the same exhaust setup, just found a clip of his. Sounds like a mini rally car 🎉

Great video, hopefully one day you can review my SH5 turbo manual aswell.
Well if you're in nz I'd be keen!
@@KiwiCarLife in west Auckland
How about getting a BMW E90 325i/330i against your accord? They are the old school BMW 6cyl 220hp/250hp
Already done it, one of my first accord vids
I almost bought a uk spec years ago but gearbox issues put me off
Yeah fair enough honestly
I thought they were 113kw? Great review, thanks!
Not sure that's just what I googled - felt like way more than that
@@KiwiCarLife do you know if they have many issues?
@@KiwiCarLife they’re very light, so that’ll feel like a good amount
Swap out the exhaust, get a remap and a downpipe and youre easily looking at a 200hp, 1.1 tonne sleeper bully.
That would be sixk
3:37 thats a familiar sight
Yesss
Version-R 🤔..., What happened to the Recaro seats?...
Not sure?
Reason it has shifter slop is because the shifter bushing is shot. Whoever the owner is hit me up on Colt Ralliart NZ and I’ll hook you up 👌
Ah yes will pass that on
I need that bushing
I had a look at his car and it seems his issue stems from the gear lever selector inside the top of the box. Apparently mini cooper R50/R52 selectors fit the colt gearbox and can fix this issue
Any word on reliablity on these? I've been looking at these as well as the Swift Sport. I suspect the Sport would be a lot more reliable.
I've heard no horror stories, which tells me it isn't bad. Simple preventative maintenance and it should be sound. Swift probably more reliable yes, but not half as fun.
Probably yeah not really sure - this is much faster than a swift sport tho
Used to own one, currently got a Zc32 Swift sport. The Colt is super reliable . Parts are actually quite expensive compared to other cars in its Class and the aftermarket support isn't great In NZ . Both my outer CVS went had to buy complete driveshafts, clutch isn't cheap has a fork attached, timing belt kits ain't cheap for them. Few other things. Other then that there a great car kinda like a Starlet turbo but with a more rigid chassis. Swift Sports are bloody great cars to but guess it depends on what model, because the older ones that are non turbo feel abit gutless and have no low down torque. But are super reliable and I reckon handles better than the Colt to.
@@KiwiCarLife yeah no doubt. I've driven plenty of sports, great little cars but have no experience with the mitsi. I'm currently living in Japan, and there isn't much opportunity for driving fast in my area. Mostly looking for sporty handling and compact size.
@@jimes69 thanks for the info. I used to work for Suzuki as a parts rep so I can attest to sport reliability (minus the CVT versions) and a drivability. But the Colt is definitely one I wanna test drive for myself
I have seen many the nana driving these.
Haha not the ralliart tho surely
Yeah nah
@@KiwiCarLife the same ones now buy the a45 amg
Maioro offramp? You came to Auckland ? Lol
I did and am coming back next month too
What octane fuel does this car need?
95 probably
@@KiwiCarLife I only have max 94 where I live 😭
@@StandAloneState what country?
@@KiwiCarLife BC, Canada
This or a fit?
Hmmm probably this tbh coz there’s no fit equivalent, but the Fit overall is a better car
@@KiwiCarLife as you work for Honda, can you provide me some Intel as to why Honda are not bringing back the jazz to Aus ?
@@B33ond I work for Honda NZ not Honda Aus
Put this engine in a GT86 please.
You reckon?
