What was the dealer like?

Dealer was good until I took delivery of the car. After-care left a lot to be desired, ie. did not return phone calls and never got the foo twell mats I was promised! SMC Mitsubishi in North West London need to work on their after-care!

What's it like to drive?

Good to drive, obviously not F1 standard, but very smooth in town with good acceleration and holds its own on the motorway.

What's it like to park?

A doddle to park, the bonnet is even shorter than you think.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Just small things with the interior which are really annoying. 1. Interior light didn't work 2. Drivers seat didn't move forward to allow passengers in the back. 3. Gear stick came off in my hand! 4. Glove box lock is problematic All problems now fixed and the car is mechanically sound.

What's most practical about your car?

The engine is very economical and really perky for a 1.1 3 cylinder.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Air-conditioning is a god send, worked flawlessly during the hot summer we had.
