1992 Mitsubishi Colt GLXi

More commonly known as the Mirage, Cyborg or Satria, this little hatchback here weighs 1030 kg, powered by a 16 valve SOHC 4G92 with 111 horses sent to the front wheels. Honestly, this car wasn’t my first choice. I wanted a sporty 5 door hatchback so the Suzuki Swift Sports was at the top of my hunting list. However,due to the hefty cost of insurance and octane 98 petrol, I had to look for something else and that’s where this Mirage came into the picture.

Because of the joint venture between Mitsubishi & Proton, there were plenty of re-badged Mirage called Satria up north of Singapore. This was one of the reasons why I bought this car as spares can be easily found which could be an issue for cars more than 20 years of age.
