Edmunds' Expert Review

What’s new
Outstanding GT model loses turbocharged engine. To compensate, a 1.6-liter twin-cam has been installed in the GT, making 113 horsepower. That's 22 fewer ponies than in 1989. Other changes include a switch from E to GL trim for the midrange hatchback. Vista 4WD system is now full-time rather than part-time. Vista body-side moldings and the grille have fresh appearance.

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!

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.
