Good price, bought with 10,500 miles on the clock last year.
Costs
Never had to replace parts as of yet, but I know they can be expensive.

On the road
Driving
Very smooth. Road handling could be questioned, but good braking ability.
Performance
Used to have a 1.7 R5 and going onto this was a bit annoying, but overall it is very nippy for a 1.3.

Living with it
Reliability
It's a Mitsubishi! One of my main buying points. Never had any serious probs.
Image
The front looks nice and agressive, back a bit flat, but it's a unique and rare car - another buying point. (Didn't want something everyone else has, like Clio or Saxo).
Comfort
Very comfortable drive, spacious in front and air con is a bonus!

Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser no frills.
Service
Went through trade seller linked to Mitsubishi - very helpful, serviced, MOTed it and taxed it before I purchased it.
