I sold it for £3600, 05/2004. Scary depreciation. Costs 5 out of 5 Very cheap to run. 45+ MPG on a run. 40ish around town. Driving 4 out of 5 Nice to drive (although not a patch on the Jag XJ6 I replaced it with). Performance 4 out of 5 Pretty good, although economy suffers if you put your foot down. Reliability 1 out of 5 34,000 miles. Needs full engine rebuild. You do the maths. Image 1 out of 5 I liked it. When it ran right. Nobody else does. Not even Mitsubishi garages will buy these. Comfort 3 out of 5 Better than my Mazda 626. Get an Insurance Quote We've gathered the biggest companies on the market in one place to save you money. Insurance group: 23 Get quote > Security 3 out of 5 No idea. It never got attacked. No deadlocks though. Service 1 out of 5 I purchased it as an 'approved Mitsubishi'. The dealer failed to service it, which meant it missed the service schedule. This meant that every time the engine management light went on (approx. every 2 weeks) I had to pay £22 to have it seen to. Problems Bodywork Scratches easily. Engine After 34,000 miles, the dealer described it as 'f*ck*d' Gearbox Notchy, and rather long travel. Other Sold it. Never looked back. Don't buy one. Ever. Seriously.
