Fuel saver or pocket-rocket, the Colt CZ3 had them all. But the uninspired design, pricing policy, and interior material quality were a drawback for the supermini vehicle.
It might be named the fifth generation of the Colt and it was designed in Europe, for the European roads and crowded cities. With a sharp nose and a flat back, the Colt was developed on the same platform with the Smart FourFour. The three-door version was shorter than its five-door sibling but featured the same wheelbase.
From the outside, the sloped front featured a hood almost in the same line with the windshield. A short roof and an almost vertical back shaped the car in a sporty-style. The long doors and small rear windows made the car look shorter than it actually was. Due to its mini-MPV style, it featured a second pillar after the windshield, where the doors were hinged. The D-pillar was thick and for that reason, it had a big blind-spot.
Inside, the Colt CZ3 featured a pair of comfortable seats in the front with pockets and cup-holders mounted between the seats and the door panels. The rear seats were difficult to access, despite the longer doors, but once seated the two occupants had a decent amount of legroom and headroom. The trunk was small since the car was shortened from the back, not from the front.
Since it was made as an economy car, it was fitted with small gasoline and diesel engines, ranged between 75 hp and 109 hp. A special version, named CZT, featured a 1.5-liter turbocharged unit with up to 150 hp. That one was the pocket-rocket.
