Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I have a need for speed and understand true performance not mere flattery.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Small, cute but eccentric.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. Only because my wife struggles with the visibility. She is opting for a Beetle next time. Another good quality car but no match on performance even from the 18 turbo.
What are you likely to buy next?
VW Beetle 19 Turbo Cabriolet

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£14,000
When did you buy the car?
August 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes. Having already bought several cars from the garage, as soon as this one came in we got a call and they did a good deal. Offered at £2K below list price for a straight purchase. Mark, the salesman, is a charming, honest guy. Very rare today.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Previously owned 4 other Mitsubishi models
What was the dealer like?
Devonshire Motors. Outstanding for sales and service. Nothing is too much trouble and the sales process is ten times more professional than that I have experienced at Citroen, Ford or VW.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's rather like being shot from a catapult. The power is seamlessly delivered from the turbo and coupled with the agility you have mega performance for micro price. My wife struggles with the forward visibility at junctions due to window pillars. The truth is that this is a boys toy in girls clothing.
What's it like to park?
Turning circle is limited but with huge wing mirrors and a decent rear screen it's a doozy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, But then it's a Mitsi and why do you think I have owned Five of them?
What's most practical about your car?
Superb boot space for a cabriolet. The material section in the leather seats is resistant to Fish and Chips. The Huge windscreen for parking in town. The Turbo for getting past ANYTHING that gets in the way.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The roof! Works smoothly and quickly. Engineered to perfection. Heated seats!!!
