AutoExec Summary
The 1980s Mitsubishi Colt had a unique feature of two gear levers, offering an eight-speed manual transmission. This system, called Super Shift, allowed drivers to switch between ‘Power’ and ‘Economy’ modes for different driving conditions. The Colt’s design resembled American cars of the era, but with better fuel efficiency and a more affordable price tag. While the Super Shift system was a bit complex for most drivers, it provided a fun and unique driving experience. Unfortunately, this innovative feature was short-lived and eventually replaced by more traditional options. Today, finding a Mitsubishi Colt with the twin-stick manual transmission is a rare treasure.
