Mitsubishi Space Wagon 2.4 GDI GLX 5d Auto (1998/S) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Pricey, but relatively cheap compared to other MPV. Better value the longer you keep it.
Costs
Expensive insurance and service + spare parts, I have had it treated with Tectyl also, No big costs between service.

On the road
Driving
I have equipped it with cruise control, which makes it a dream on long distance travels. It responds well and is easy to handle.
Performance
Well, would have liked 4-wheel drive in the winter. It started without problems in -43 degrees Celsius, but I also have an engine heater used during winter.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts effortlessly, but use synthetic oil all the time.
Image
Good quality in relation to price. I don't think this is a status car, at least not in Norway!
Comfort
I drive a lot and feel very comfortable in the car.

Security and Service
Security
Crashed once, security is ok.
Service
Service is ok, but has taken more time than expected. 5 year guarantee is the best in the industry. It covers everything if you keep the services, but I think it explains the relative high price for this car when you buy it.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Other
Front brake pads have had to be changed often, but dealer said this could be due to production error so they changed it to another brand. I have changed it every 30,000 kms. and that's too often, but let's see now with the new brand?
