Mitsubishi Space Star 1999

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Average. Mitsubishi depreciation can make your toes go cold!

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Servicing quite expensive, once you get past the first free ones. £110 for a set of brake pads (it has discs all round) is a bit heavy for a car of this class.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Can be quick, but gets a bit pedestrian if you turn your back on it. Not a boy racer's first choice though.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not particularly juicy, but I wouldn't make any big claims for its economy. Fair overall.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Mitsubishi are excellent. No problems, apart from gearbox grating. I was told this was a Renault box, so no surprises there!

    I've tried to love it, really. But it has done little for my street cred. and its rather blunt looks asssault the senses rather.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Contrary to reviews, I found the seats hard! A drive of 150 miles left me with a corn plaster requirement. Hits the potholes well, though, and interior noise, road noise excepted, not too bad.

    Security

    Think its all right. Would anyone want to pinch it? Please?

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Service is very good, with a particularly good local garage to deal with. But you pay heavily for the service - too much for this class of car.
