Reliability
Broke down within 4hrs of delivery, initial problem with LPG switchover system, Mitsubishi staff clueless regarding Gas system & Mitsubishi diagnostics failed to identify problem. Problem was a simple ECU fault found by independent LPG installer.
Image
Very good, individual & not a common sight unlike Rav4's & freelanders.
Comfort
Good driving position & visibility. Good passenger comfort too, even for tall ones in rear seats.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Initially bad, problems with LPG system.
Other
After initial problems, car now superb. Best bet to buy LPG due to high fuel costs, however be sure LPG system is functioning normally before buying. Don't let dealership fob you off with test drive in petrol due to no gas available (especially Reading).
