    Hey Dirk, only had it two years but wanted to get a bigger car for all my shooting gear, got a Rover 75 which was more than brilliant. The Colt I put 25000 miles on it in two years. The only money spent on it apart from servicing and consumables was for a near side electric mirror some idiot yanked off. Here 's a picture of my Rover bought from Quicks in the midlands in 2012.Name:  22730146_10214521060599714_3999681264767220217_n.jpg

    That car looks great as well. Reminds me of Ford Crown Victoria only slightly smaller. I really liked that Colt though! That car would of sold well in the states in my opinion. I cant for the life of me understand this gas guzzling monster truck craze going on here. A significant portion of young Americans are living well beyond their means, so a $600 a month car payment is a bad idea but many dont see that. Not to mention instability in the Levant could easily drive our prices to 4 plus dollars a gallon, as it did 10 years ago. I fear for the West, Europe and North America, in an economical sense.

    This is a review of the Colt to give you some idea of it. https://youtu.be/7AFLe59UynA The Colt was replaced in 2012 by the Mirage. Petrol in the UK averages just under £6 per gallon ($7.62) I couldn't have a car on strap, costs much too much. The older we get the wiser we get (except me) $600 per onth is a lot of oney.

    Thank you for that review, Im a small car enthusiast that's fascinated by what the international community has that we don't in the US.
