    Good, I recommend ex-demo. Prepare to pay slightly more for LPG but very well worth it in the long run.

    Broke down within 4hrs of delivery, initial problem with LPG switchover system, Mitsubishi staff clueless regarding Gas system & Mitsubishi diagnostics failed to identify problem. Problem was a simple ECU fault found by independent LPG installer.

    Service intervals quite low at 9,000 miles, Reading dealership Awful.! Staff have no real knowledge of LPG system, Brighton dealership fared better.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Initially bad, problems with LPG system.

    Other

    After initial problems, car now superb. Best bet to buy LPG due to high fuel costs, however be sure LPG system is functioning normally before buying. Don't let dealership fob you off with test drive in petrol due to no gas available (especially Reading).
