    What does this car say about you?

    It says you like to be different. A lot of (jealous) drivers will say it says you're 'flash' but I'm not, I just like to be different from those who drive boring, 'jelly-mould' cars.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They liked its looks/performance, but comfort wasn't so great and was the main reason I sold it.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    No, probably not. Might possibly try the twin turbo version just to see but basically got tired of the way this sort of car influences the moronic/boy-racer/jealous element in society.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    I've already bought a Mercedes E320 Avantgarde and very nice it is too! Much smoother + quieter, doesn't bring out the prat in other drivers as much as the Mitsubishi.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Great performance, very big and heavy but engine had many new parts and developed 240bhp; had twin 4" stainless exhausts which produced an 'inspiring' sound! Handling not too bad, the car wasz 18 years old so had to take into account the fact that probably wasn't as tight as it once was.

    What's it like to park?

    Not great, considering size and poor visibility but had reversing camera under number plate and incorporated into stereo/TV.
