We say The Colt CZC is a good, affordable choice for a drop-top at its level in the segment.Performance A turbocharged 1.5-litre engine offers 147bhp – it makes the Colt CZC pretty fast and nippy. 60mph takes an incredible 7.7 seconds.Emissions 41mpg and 161g/km are the reasonable figures from the Colt CZC’s 1.5 petrol engine.Driving The CZC’s sporty suspension equals good grip, but a firm ride. Some scuttle-shake is in evidence with the roof down and the steering is lifeless.Feel The CZC is good with the roof up and decent when it's down, though poor surfaces unsettle the car and the Colt CZC doesn’t feel built for motorway driving.Space The Colt drop-top suffers from poor space in the back and the boot is non-existent when the roof's down, although large when the roof's up.Equipment Alloys, electric windows, CD player and aircon as standard on the Colt convertible. Sports suspension and heated part-leather seats are optional.Price Good list price, running costs and resale values.Quality Sturdy inside and out bit some cheap trim inside.Safety Four bags as standard on the CZC. Stability control and alarm on higher specs.Pros Good drive and price.Cons Cramped in the back.Alternatives Citroen C3 Pluriel, Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible, Mini One Convertible, Nissan Micra CC, Peugeot 206 CC, Vauxhall Tigra
