Ok guys, this is a rather random thing.

From what i have seen through varies forums, the ratio of d**kheads per forum seems to be higher for cheaper car makes. And, i'm glad to see that we have almost 0% in this forum due to our high pricetag. However, that is also the reason why our community isn't growing as quick as other hot hatches.

Therefore, what price range do you guys think is reasonable for a Ralliart Colt and yet attract the least amount of d**kheads?

For me, around Polo GTI's price seems just about right. What about you guys?

I don't think its a price thing. Since its more like "sports" van shape of vehicle I don't think the "other" crowd are into this shape... yet.

When I think of a similar shape of car to the colt I think... Honda Jazz which is not a bad thing (A sheep in wolf's clothing :p ). Even the wife said hey there's a colt. I said, no dear that's a jazz hahaha.

Just my 2 cents worth but if it was retailing for low 20Ks then the "other" crowd might be buying them like hotcakes.

i think the major problem abt our colt is. The image is target for young driver with it aggressive look, but most of the young drivers are still on their P plate which they have a Colt R.
So u can see there are more Swift sport on the road nowaday coz they r NA, which is gd for most of the P plater.
To be honest $30k is abit expensive because 30k can get better performance car on the second hand market.
U might ask why i get my colt, one reason the car is rare on the road, just wan to be unique but can't afford a ferrari LOL

When I bought mine, the RColt was selling new for $26,990 drive away at Cal Crawfords.
The week after I went back to pick mine up (which was the cheaper demo model), all but one of them had sold for that price.
So $26,990 obviously seemed to be the point at which their sales picked up.

By the way - saw my first XR4 on the road today.
Nice looking car - and considering its only been out such a short time, I was surprised to see one on the road already. Especially since I've only seen only a couple of RColts which have been out a lot longer.
