What do everyone think of our Euro Cousin Colt CZT

[lovecolt]

All the while, i have been in touch with ColtClub.eu from UK. They all really liked our Ralliart Colt. In reality, they are a very close cousin of ours (mechanically) with a different exterior looks. So, i would like to find out what you guys think of the CZT.

Basically, they are 2 door less, with a different rear plus a different front bumper. Interior wise, they have the same interior as our Colt C.C (convertible). They are lighter than us, and only a few hp less. Hence they do a slight better 0 - 100kmph.

Personally, i think they should be made available in Australia market. They have our 5 door version and yet we don't have theirs....

Here's some pic of the CZT, which is closer to the original Colt Concept car

I believe CZT handling should be better than us. Like to ask, does it comes in manual?

If both CZT and Version-R are available in Singapore, I'll still stick to Version-R coz the availability of JDM parts :D

[lovecolt]

Yes, its in manual form. Not sure about its handling as no one can do a direct comparo. But there's news there Euro might get Version R in future. 1 thing i see about CZT's handling is, it has such short wheelbase and high car height...i don't think its a good combo for good handling.

I like the exterior, but interior's not my cup of tea.

I think they look quite nice. The shapes does look less of a mini van or "mumsy bus" which is a good thing.

The CZT was track tested in the UK by the motoring TV programme, 'Fifth Gear'. They didn't rate the handling (too soft, too much body lean) but scored the engine quite highly. Unfortunately, the car was a CVT auto, which buggered up it's performance a bit on the track.

As a CZT owner I can confirm that stock suspension is too soft and the body leans too much. Not very inspiring if you want to go fast.
With an upgraded suspension though, things are a lot better.

The main problem that we face with the CZ's is the lack of aftermarket goods. Most brands do not even have the CZ's in their catalogs.:mad:

A 2door versionR would be perfect for me.:p

nice one with the meet!

yeah i like the CZT - those leather seats are pretty nice, but i don't think we'll be getting them here cause they're manufactured in europe somewhere just like the colt c.c., and just like the c.c. they'd be too expensive

Given that a German built XR4 can do $24,990. I'm sure a 3 dr CZT can do at most $25 - 26990.

true but why buy a 3dr CZT for 26990 when you can get a ver-r with recaro's and everything for a few grand more..

i see what you're saying i just don't think it'll happen

[tingtw]

Yo xander, that's not enough. Where's the Version-R bonnet on your CZT?

[xander]

we have to import stuff from places that have the r colt it a bit big and will get damaged if i get one sent over here :(
