Mitsubishi Space Wagon 1991-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bought for £3000 two years ago - probably not worth much now but has served me well.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Moved down from a company car - BMW2.0SED - that did 57mpg, so 35mpg was hard at first. Repairs rare but very pricey. Had done 67000 when bought, now 108000 and going sweetly.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable seats - I drive long distances and get a bad back - but not with this.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Just very, very good all round.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It has had the decency to break down only when near my favourite garage - only twice - but £500 bill each time.

    Friends call it my van - I call it my 7 seater, people moving, load carrying multi-purpose vehicle.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very comfortable - and quiet at speed.

  • Security and Service

    No break-ins so no complaints

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Dealt with local garage rather than manufacturer - parts can be hard to source but can't complain.
