The cool thing about that Colt is that nobody expects it to be this powerful.

Having had a Fiesta ST for a while now and is completely stock, I love it, it drives well and feels really responsive. If you TICKLE it around town you can easily get 32-34+MPG, on the motorway you will easily get into the 45-50 MPG mark. Giving it some beans around the B-roads, MPG drops to 20 or less and its a really satisfying ride, it feels safer than its peers and cost-to-grin factor is astounding. It isn't in the league of a Type R or other 200 BHP rides buts it fantastic fun. Underrated.

I drive a CZ3. And i love it, awesome handling, nice cockpit view and enough space on the inside for everything. U dont gonna belive how much things u can put into the Colt. :)

I miss fifth gear used to love watching it on the tv.

Remap the colt and it'll fuck the ST up lol

Back in 2006 I wanted to buy Fiesta ST! But when I sat in CZT and took it for a test ride I realized how much nicer that car was for driver. Better seats, modern dashboard design, more room inside and it looked so youthful! On the road it had so much more power from below! BUT it had to soft suspension!I solved that problem with installing harder and lower springs! Today it drives througt curves like devil himself! And I would change it for Fiesta double ST....

I kinda agree, but remove the restrictions on the ST inlet and exhaust and your looking at 170 odd brake for a few quid. You may just get caught out when you are "off cam"

I love the colt..its a little car..nobody will expect it to go fast..but you ' ll smoke the kids in the hood.. :D

Colt is one quality car, its so smooth to drive.

I like Tiff Needell. That's great man!

@EvoPower2010 Don't forget the Turbo and the fact is was well over 1 second slower per lap.

great cornering great gearbox fantastic brakes nice engine power i would like it 180ps without turbo.

its a turbocharged 1.5... say its running 5psi... that means its cramming 1/3rd more air in then it normally would... meaning its pumping 2L of air...

I got to drive a fiesta in brasil and have seen plenty of them in europe. Why can't they put out the car here in the US?

@enisijzer no one does for the ST either, unless its a focus lol

all colts can have there traction control turned off well i know a 08 ralliart colt if u turn key to reds before u start and hold in the asc button which should be next fog light button hold it down for few secs til it lights up and stays up on the dash then start the car that turns all safty stuff off pretty sure works for me and all u need to do to turn on is hit button when ever u need it back no need to stop or turn car off

@mageac . He is saying that this test is not accurate because all colts can turn off the TC (but the european version does not have a button to do so) - even With a remap, the fiesta gains 15 hp, while the colt gains 30 hp and that's just one example. Everyone knows that modifying an aspirated engine is way more expensive and the power gains are lower than modifying a turbo car.

Can't wait to get my st! Finally get to upgrade from my 1ltr Corsa, and from what i've heard online, they're great little cars.

the ST was shown to be as quick round the nurburgring as the clio. Obviously you know little about power outputs as the 20bhp more means only a second quicker to the Kilometre. the ST is insurance group 13 and aimed at younger drivers, the clio is inusrance group 16 i think if not more - which makes it uninsurable for many especially for such a minor difference in power. Ive driven both and bought an ST. the better car

That's the 7th Generation Mitsubishi Colt (2002-2008). The latest one (revealed in 2008) is the 7th Generation Facelift.

Yea, like if you are driving in real life, you want the car to lift off around corners. If you do want to lift off in a czt, you can turn the TC off using a little trick, but they couldn't show that on the show, so they compared a TC on with a TC off car, on a track - and that's stupid. And if you do want to buy one of these, you also want to modify it, and everyone knows that with a turbo engine you can boost power an additional and safe 20% with a modified software.

The colt lost because of the Auto traction control and also it dont have Coil Overs fitted like the Fiesta ST , on top speed on a motorway the colt is quicker and is a more reliable car too

I like the Colt

thinking of getting the St as a second car. Its fast, looks sporty and the interiors niceish. shame the MOG isnt great and the engine is nothing to sing about

Fiesta St is the best handing car i've driven since today

Shit? The most recognized hot hatches ever had less.. What about the 205 1.9 GTI and the Golf GTI mark 1? My PUG 406 TS6 has 210 hp, but what about power to weight ratio?

He's like James Bond driving a Colt.

@panaprod so your saying if it was modded enough it would win.... i can say the same thing about a scooter....

id have the colt ralliart

my girlfreind has the fiesta ST the one that you see on your screen ^^ she nearly died when she saw in to here XD

yeh thats fair enough, i love my fiesta, zetec-s mk6 he's like an eager little puppy lol =]

Tiff is the reason Top Gear have The Stig. They're both pros.

This is the Ford Fiesta ST and this is Mitsubishi Colt CZT and this video is made of one pixel

but you cant turn it off so it wont beat the ford... might be a little faster in a straight line, but cornering in road course race is 3 times more important then acceleration

The fiesta still looks good todat

I got a 2008 Ford Fiesta Xr4 WQ

I Have a 2008 Ford Fiesta Xr4

why pick a gray czt? best color on a czt is black just saying :)

ST 4 sure

this is actually a pretty even comparison 3 horsepower difference, the ford doesn't have ESC and has a better chassis, and the Mitsu is lighter I'm sure as was said, with a set of cams and a turbo the ford would be a force to be reckened with

Should have got the older Colt cyborg RS. More power, lighter, no traction control and an LSD.

well...7 years on...the colt doesnt look as outdated or odd out like the fiesta ST

@02stv Me saying one positive thing about a car automaticly makes me a fanboy, huh?

0:53 when the st has ludicrous mode

6 grand??? you mean 600 quid. And its a 2.0L ST vs a 1.5L 'TURBO' Colt. Don't forget that their are many 2.0L turbo cars around nowadays that produce 350+ BHP stock standard so the colt is only playing with whats possible - I bet that thing could push alot more power out with a bit tinkering. The ST does take alot of money to start getting some extra worthwhile power out of it but reputable after market suppliers say that its good for 200BHP without any modding to the rest of the engine.

a quick map in colt and we have 200 horses. Can the fiesta do the same? ...nope

bring on the stig

Well id rather have the st, the colt just doesnt look that great.

swift sport is that one trying to be a mini and failing at that too, buy a colt its the mutts nuts

Every one has no idea in the comments that you can only see 2 pixels at any one time.

If I was to buy any of those two cars, It would have to be the mitsubishi, Sorry Ford. But I used to think that fords were good cars, Oh dear!

colt is better in mechanic parts but the ford steers way better than colt. i think that if the swift sport had 10hp more will smoke them both...

140p only? Wtf?

Kind of irrelevant as they produce the same power? The 1.5 has a turbo to make its power.

Colts problem is the traction control..if it could turn off that traction control it would beat the ford, if u are smart enough u will understand..ford goes 0-100kph at 7.9 sec. ,colt goes 0-100 at 7.5 sec. anyway both cars are nice..but i would prefer Colt because is more economic and easier to get more power because its turbo aspirated.

what do the people in britain or the USA with cars like these? Didn´t you have all a speedlimit? Im from germany and if i want to drive fast as fucking hell i do that! whats the limit in britain?greetz

whatever you pay you purchase.Thats all

You always crown Brit cars.

colt isnt a sports car in my opinion. Rolls too much and you cant switch off the ESP - pretty annoying. its something a mum would buy!

@CsalbertCs the thing american about ford in Europe is its owned by ford of USA, every thing else is designed built for Europe by Europe.

a 1.5L 150hp is different than a 2.0 150hp more torque..compare a 2.0L sport car by ford with a 2.0L sport car by mitsubishi..and colt cant turn off the traction control if it could it would beat that ford

You can turbo the ST..

My colt czt leaves the new 1.6 turbo fiesta st for dust never mind the old non turbo 1 😂😂

2:53 YESSSS!

i want to get a new colt but i will get laughed at lol

Colt is more reliable and cheaper too I wager!

nor am I, i will tell you now, the Fiesta is not way slower than the 182. In your head, count 0.8 seconds. Now, that isnt even a car length you would have pulled ahead by the time you got to 60mph. Understand now? Ive driven all sorts of cars and had my racing license 2 years ago, I prefer the ST.

But colt has a turbo. So is fair

THE ST IS PANTZ

@mageac This is just a button...I am saying with just one button i can beat that ford any day!

im not saying the 182 isnt the better car for a B Road blast, but the difference isnt huge between them! day to day, i would expect the fiesta is easier to live with and better screwed together. its all horses for courses! when i say i prefer the ST, i mean over that ugly CZT!

they compare a 2.0L car with a 1.5L car..lets compare colt with other 1.5L cars and lets see whos the fastest...

Fiesta St all day long not no tin can

give me the fiesta st any day

@mageac i have a colt czt and i can turn it off my friend with just a little trick..so esp off plus turbo plus light weight and bye bye ford..

Mitsubishi is a better looking car easily

Still think the 3 door Colts are great looking cars, far nicer looking than that Fiesta. I may be biased as I own one, but still.

LOL Fiesta Has 2L Engine with 150 ..Colt's 1.5L Has 147 , Plus Colt is 6 grand less and has the same perfomance

fiesta st is a chav car (sh1t) colt czt amazing car end of

japanese the best....

Ford ftw!

Colt is better you can get a remap now which will get you 200bhp that's 50 more than the ford

fiesta all day long no contest woops it! the colt is a womens car!

yeh but that 1.4 fiesta is shite...ford dont put too much power in their cars so not to encroach on their other models..daft but ah well

American V8's suck alright - lesser cars headlights! LOL

No way ,czt is better ,tiff drives like a ****

fiesta is not yet a chav car onli not until prices drop lol but hey its still realy ugly

colt is alot better fords are shit and rust when there 9 years old
