Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Got a mint 40k-miler from dealer for £7k. Incredible value for a V6 exec car.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    31mpg is good for a V6. Much thirstier if you exploit its performance.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    More bodyroll than I'd like. Steering is pretty lifeless. Gear change and pedal action good.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not insanely fast, but very useful power above 4k revs.

  • Living with it

    One of the best looking cars around, I reckon - great sharky face. 'Borrows' a lot from old BMW 5-series. Looks very japanese from rear. Mitsubishi brand given some cred by Lancer Evos.

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Ride much too jittery for an exec. Minor bumps are very noticable, but it rides over larger ones. Road and wind noise should be less, too. Apart from that, very good.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Standard immobiliser and remote alarm. Image not strong enough to attract thieves.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Not serviced yet.
