Mitsubishi Space Wagon 2.0 GLXi 5d (1993/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought for £3000 two years ago - probably not worth much now but has served me well.
Costs
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
Very comfortable seats - I drive long distances and get a bad back - but not with this.
Performance
Just very, very good all round.

Living with it
Reliability
It has had the decency to break down only when near my favourite garage - only twice - but £500 bill each time.
Image
Friends call it my van - I call it my 7 seater, people moving, load carrying multi-purpose vehicle.
Comfort
Very comfortable - and quiet at speed.

Security and Service
Security
No break-ins so no complaints
Service
Dealt with local garage rather than manufacturer - parts can be hard to source but can't complain.
