Advantages: You can fit seven people into the car Disadvantages: I don't like the new model
We purchased a New Mitsubishi Spacewagon, in 1997, it has been a very good car, and we purchased it on an option plan, where you pay balance after 3 years, Change for new model or give car back to garage. The old Spacewagon we bought had a really useful rear seat, when not in use it goes into the floor, leaving a flat loading space. Mitsubishi decided to change that and the new model no longer goes into floor, you have got to physically remove and store elsewhere. So because of that we have decided to keep the car, as we have never had problems, and we do not like the new design, as it is less flexible. ...

Advantages: Rugged and versatile 4x4 / MPV - nothing like it available in UK.... Disadvantages: Not for Eco warriors - can be very thirsty... 28 mpg on a really good day.
Im a proud owner of a 1996 Delica 2.8 Turbo Diesel. Had the girl about 2 years now and wouldn't change her for anything. There is nothing like this on the UK market today, at all.

The L400 Space Gear as they are correctly known are Imports (Grey) so Insurance can be expensive, and whilst parts are surprisingly readily available finding a good mechanic or Mitsi dealer (and they are not all interested in these babies) is a good idea, although forums will answer 99% of questions for the compentant DIY'er.
They are relaxed cruisers and wether you have the 8 seat variant, or like mine the 7 seater (with Captains chairs) they spacious for passengers to. With the rear seats up you will seat 5/4 people and have major ...
Advantages: Looks, Sound, Power, Driver/Passenger comfort, Disadvantages: Some parts can be pricey, weak link rods on front suspension
I purchased my FTO in August 2005, from Awesome Imports in Bristol, i had been looking around on the net for one but when i saw this one i knew i had to have it. Deep Burgundy colour, 96 - facelift model and no mods - perfect.
The model I have is a 2ltr DOHC 24vV6 Mivec .200BHP (so the manual says)
When sitting in the car for the first time and even now it brings a smile to my face, it is relatively low slung with a good driving position, many people moan about the rear view but i have never found visibility a problem and the added bonus of electric (retractable) mirrors also mean they can be adjusted easily to compensate if needs be.
The performance is good and motorway overtaking will never be a problem. The car is not perfect around sharp corners/bends due to a heavy front end but you will never feel unsafe, country A ...
