potential RC owners

[overl0ad]

hi all,

my GF is lookign to potentially buy a RC (her car,not mine).

so i thought might be a good idea to jump onto the forums and get a feel before making the commitment.

a little background info, i owned a colt (current shape) the LS one a couple of years back. no longer own it as the CVT drove me crazy...

so yeah, that's the background info. :)

R-colt is very different to garden variety colt. You cant compare a ralliart product to a standard mitsubishi, and I hear what your saying about CVT's... I'm still to drive one from any manufacturer that I like.

I did lots of research and googling! looking for a hot hatch/turbo, and read nothing but positive comments all round about the colt ralliart, the overall package killed the opposition (in Focus Xr5 etc...) especially finding a demo model with only 150kms on the clock for $24,500 - big saving of a brand new one plus on road costs, for 150kms lol. the XR5 was about $40K... nice car but big dollars!.....

I'd highly recommend the ralliart colt to anyone interested - after owning one a couple months it just keeps getting better and better :)
i enjoy the poke and handling of it more than anything :cool:

I reckon the manual is hard to go past!
