muddyell Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Go on parkers website Are they much quicker than starbo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Think the colts come in 1.3 and 1.5 forms and pretty nippy(assume you mean the older shape - not the brand new ones) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muddyell Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 yea older shapeand its a 1.6I been lookin on parkers and it dun seem that much quicker on paper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 That's because Starlet's are amazingHaven't looked at Parkers, as busy at work, but 0.5 of a second in acceleration will feel faster than it sounds, just remember(if that's what you mean by not seeming much quicker) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muddyell Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Well i was expectin a 1.6 colt to be at least a second quicker but it aint1.6 GLX 3dr 0-60 = 10.2 seconds88bhp116mph top speed1.3 starlet s 3dr (hint hint MJ)0-60 = 11.974bhp103mph top speedI didnt think it was that much considering its an extra 300cc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletno1fan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 what bout a swift gti? charade 1.0 turbo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muddyell Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 i tried swift gti but was expensive on insurancewhats charade like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Muddyell, thats 1.7 seconds quicker Someone can't add up(and my 5 door is plenty quick enough ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muddyell Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Why would you add upDont you mean take away?So do you think its that much quicker then? Also i just spoke to my mate and he said it aint that much of a step up from the starbo and not to bother Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Would agree with the not to bother comment.With the improved 0-60 you'd probably notice it, but not hugely so.Stay Starlet mon amigo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Still fancy going for a test drive Mike? would be fun even if you dont end up getting one You never know, and what other models do they do? surely they got a sportier 1.6 with more bhp than that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletno1fan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 they make an import colt cyborg r which is a 1.6 mivec engine, similar to vtec producing 170+ bhp.i think the charade gtti's are 100bhp 1.0 12v dohc. not sure on the performance though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogdoggydog Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Daihatsu YRVAlmost the same as the Yaris underneath and stuff, and has a 1.3VVTi engine. Very rev happy.There was an Audi turbo diesel stuggling to catch me up a hill today. And I've had it doing 0-60 in 8.6 seconds! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
