Comfortable to drive and as passenger.

Security and Service
Security
Untested.
Service
Chapelhouse Mitsubishi ( Wigan ) would be the worst dealership I have had dealings with, it proved almost impossible to get a straight answer from them, but always managed to suggest the engine was good but could do with £2800 spending on it.
