3-door and 5-door 4-seater hatchback.

First new-generation front-wheel drive car from Colt, sold from 1979, but small engine only from 1981. Unique for having eight-speed box, because of two-ratio final drive. Advanced, smooth window styling now taken up by other makes. A fwd Escort-sized car, with 92mph top speed and up to 40mpg with 'economy' transmission.
