I Love this car!

1991 Dodge Colt 2dr Hatchback
I bought this car 8 years ago with
almost 80k miles on it. I have since
put 90k miles on the car. Now, at 13
years old, 170k HARD miles, and a
accident, it has reached the end of
it's glorious life.
Very well put-together. With the very
nice shifting 4 speed manual
transmission, and the 90hp engine, it
got its slim 2200lbs going in a
hurry. I had this thing … over 110mph
and it was still accelerating! The
hatchback with the seats down could
really carry a lot.
I write this as a memorial to a car
that lasted me through a lot of jobs
and women. Little Colt, you will be
missed. *sniff* *raises beer*
I love my Colt!!!

1991 Dodge Colt GL 2dr Hatchback
Only car I've ever owned. It's up to 198000 miles and still starts every morning (even in MN cold). Only reason I'm selling - need a 4-door with baby on the way. Replaced engine 1.5 years ago, spent alot less each year on repairs than I would have on a car payment. Some quirks that others might not like (body integrity-noisy at times)... but I've come to love! My husband - who … really didn't like my car when we first met - is not talking about hotrodding it - or just using it as a winter driver.

1990 Dodge Colt 2dr Hatchback
This was the FIRST new car I ever
bought!! it was PERFECT for what I
needed. Great mileage! Great
dependability! (Mitsubishi made!)
I bought a base model. 4spd manual
tranny. Peppy little bugger! One more
thing... and it probably proved
LIFESAVING in the Deer country that I
live in.... THE HEADLIGHTS ARE
AMAZING!!! With the high beams on, I
can see so well, you won't … believe it!
I tell everyone about it! THEY ARE THAT
GOOD!! Great little inexpensive car.
Same as Mitsubishi Mirage, and Eagle
Summit.

1990 Dodge Colt 2dr Hatchback
I have owned a few cars in my time, but this is one of my all time favorites. It seats four, although I use it as a commuter. Mine is a five speed manual and gets over forty five miles per gallon; I change the oil religiously and put a high flow air filter in it to maximize efficiency. Also most of my driving is highway; I suspect city drivers will average forty mpg. Anyway it's a … fun little car with plenty of pep that is fun to drive while being super fuel efficient. I have driven it from one twenty k to one seventy k and have only had to replace the battery and the distributor. If you are lucky enough to find one, grab it!
