Attractive small front-wheel-drive hatchback, originally sold with advanced engineering theme, and dual-mode automatic gearbox. Followed various design themes as the years wore on, usually Mitsubishi’s style leader and the company’s entry-level model in most markets. Rebadged in various markets as Mitsubishi Colt, Dodge Colt, Plymouth Champ and Plymouth Colt. The only model not officially exported was the sixth-generation Mitsubishi Mirage Dingo, a tall, boxy city car, while the Mirage name briefly adorned the Mitsubishi Space Star for one year (2002–3) in New Zealand. The model line went on hiatus as the 2002 Colt became the entry-level Mitsubishi in most markets, but was revived in 2012 for a three-cylinder economy car.
