## The 1989 Mitsubishi Colt/Summit/Mirage Turbo: A Compact Powerhouse

The 1989 Mitsubishi Colt/Summit/Mirage Turbo was a compact hatchback that offered spirited performance in a practical package. Available under various names depending on the market (Colt in Europe, Summit in Japan, and Mirage Turbo in the United States), this car was a testament to Mitsubishi's engineering prowess, particularly in the realm of turbocharging. The model was built on the same platform as the standard Mirage, but it received a significant upgrade in the form of a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged engine. This potent powerplant, known as the 4G61T, produced a respectable 118 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque, making the humble hatchback quite lively for its time. Its acceleration was particularly notable, with a 0-60 mph time of around 8 seconds.

Beyond its spirited engine, the 1989 Mitsubishi Colt/Summit/Mirage Turbo boasted a sport-tuned suspension and responsive steering, contributing to its agile handling characteristics. The interior, while relatively basic, offered a comfortable and well-designed cabin with functional gauges and comfortable seating. The turbocharged engine, combined with its relatively low weight and sporty handling, made the 1989 Mitsubishi Colt/Summit/Mirage Turbo a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a fun and affordable performance car. Its compact dimensions and practical hatchback design also made it a suitable daily driver, especially for urban dwellers. Despite its age, the 1989 Mitsubishi Colt/Summit/Mirage Turbo remains a popular choice among enthusiasts today, offering a unique blend of classic charm, affordable performance, and a touch of 80s nostalgia.
