    Ex-demo from Mitsubishi's Red Zebra site. Bargained for a week for a very low price!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Servicing quite pricey (£150 - £200 at dealer).

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I rate it highly. Smooth, quiet, comfortable and quick when you want it to be. Brilliant on snow and ice (surprisingly!)

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Perfectly adequate for my needs, though no Ferrari! Stops well in an emergency!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    First class: no problems at all. Can't fault it.

    First class, but I do have the sport version.

    No-one has nicked it yet, but I keep a steering wheel clamp on it just in case!
