Colt Attivo from Mitsubishi holds promise

Mitsubishi has unveiled its special edition super-mini range with the Colt 1.1 Attivo.

The special edition Colt Attivo is powered by a a 1.1-litre engine that produces 74 bhp at 6000 rpm, with 100

Nm torque at 4,000 rpm and 51.4 mpg (4.5 liters for 100 km). Attivo means ‘energetic’ in Italian.

Mitsubishi dealers in the UK are thrilled, as buyers queue up for the sporty mini. For just £7,999, the 3-door version and for £8,499 for the 5-door seem very tempting.

The Mitsubishi Colt Attivo Special Edition is also to be supported by some competitive finance packages, customers are feeling the pinch of the global credit crunch, and a little bit of help there would be good, thinks Mitsubishi. Low rate finance or 50:50 finance are being offered, with 3-door advertising featuring low rate finance with a £1,994 deposit, and £135 monthly payments at 9.6% APR and 5-door advertising featuring 50:50 finance.

The Mitsusbishi Colt Attivo now has 14” alloy wheels and free metallic paint over the CZ1 specification for just a £500 premium, along with radio and CD player, ABS with EBD, remote central locking and driver and passenger airbags.

The Colt Attivo is available in various hues such as Lunar Silver (metallic), Illusion Blue (metallic), Atlantis Blue (metallic), Sparkling Black (metallic) and Spicy Red (solid).

Mitsubishi dealers have already stocked up as many as 300 cars anticipating demand. The believe that the sky rocketing cost of fuel and the worldwide increase in sales of efficient small cars bode well for the Colt Attivo.
