No

£4,995

November 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
I thought £4995 for a less than 2 year old car with 20K miles on it was excellent, the PX on our old car was as much as it was possibly worth.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Sick and tired of the unreliable and expensive to run Ford Glaxy we had, I was attracted by the incredible value for money it offered and Mitsubishi's formidable reliability reputation.
What was the dealer like?
Did the transaction efficiently.

Easy - peasy.

Living with it

Nothing.
What's most practical about your car?
Grey paintwork disguises the permanent covering of mud.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Aircon is nice, kids are delighted with the swing out cup holders in the rear armrest. Car is very well equiped for the price.
