The Mitsubishi Space Star, also known as the Colt in some markets, is a subcompact car produced by the Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors from 1998 to 2012. The first generation, launched in 1998, was a popular choice for city driving thanks to its compact size, maneuverability, and fuel efficiency. The Space Star offered a choice of gasoline and diesel engines, with the latter being particularly popular in Europe. While not a standout in terms of performance, it provided a comfortable and reliable ride, making it a practical and affordable option for everyday commuting.

The Space Star gained further popularity with the introduction of its second generation in 2004. This iteration featured a more modern design and improved interior space, further bolstering its practicality. It also boasted a range of engines, including a more powerful 1.5-liter gasoline engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged diesel engine. The second generation Space Star was a global success, selling well in both developed and emerging markets. Despite its success, Mitsubishi discontinued the Space Star in 2012, focusing on other models in their lineup. The nameplate later resurfaced in 2015, but it applied to a different vehicle, a rebadged version of the Renault Clio, sold exclusively in certain Southeast Asian markets. As a result, the original Mitsubishi Space Star remains a fondly remembered compact car, embodying the ideal of affordability, practicality, and reliability.
