Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent drive, I have the petrol so have to change down on hills but it responds magnificently when I do and give it some beans, you have to use the gearbox to its fullest. Excellent wheel to wheel lock for a front wheel drive. Cruising at 70 on the motorway I am getting 42mpg and around town regularly get 38mpg
What's it like to park?
Simple with the steering range
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Still works perfectly. It makes me smile when I get into it and I get a bigger smile when I drive it. HiFi is the bee's knee's and the sat nav is streets ahead of other I have come across for functionality. Most of my colleagues wish they had one and ask to borrow it when I'm not using it. Dealer support and service brilliant. Can't tell you how happy I am with it.
What's most practical about your car?
The Mitsubishi Multimedia System which includes sat nav, music server (HDD), and a host of other features. Get the GS4 with it fitted as standard.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The sat nav.............. excellent.
