Advantages: Looks, Sound, Power, Driver/Passenger comfort, Disadvantages: Some parts can be pricey, weak link rods on front suspension
...-roads are fun especially when in manual mode. Get the car up to 3500rpm and the engine changes in to the mivec mode, switch to manual shift and the fun begins, this is where the engine develops the recognisable growl that you may hear on occassions, drop a gear and hit the pedal and a surge runs through the engine developing into a very quick take off...boy racers in their maxed Corsa's/ Puntos cant cope and neither can a lot of other similar coupes... (remember car of the year in Japan and used for racing aswell with very few mods)
The gear box in this model is semi - automatic with mitsubishi technology called INVECS, basically what it means is that when driving the car in manual the car will "remember" when you change gear at a certain RPM and then apply this to the gear change when it is driven in automatic. So, the car will drive in auto...

Review of Mitsubishi FTO
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. And Mitsubishi really has missed a trick with this one, although the new models neither look as good nor are as good off road.
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: Excellent display, Highly reliable Disadvantages: It goes back a fair way and it's no Flat-bed!
...that this monitor is among the cream of the top in it's range, there are perfectly decent monitors available for under half the price which do the job very well, Mitsubishi / NEC are just one of the reliable manufacturers. Before considering splashing out on this product it is essential one thinks about whether they are buying it for the right reasons, the resolution of the 2070SB will continue to please gamers and will provide an excellent screen for home use too, but it is a lot of money, and, as stated, there are decent £200 to £300 monitors out there....
Advantages: Great looks, safety, great for countryside, ?space? Disadvantages: NON-economic, expensive, depreciates quickly
...thought, I'm practically in the middle of nowhere, I need a 4 wheel drive, that would make me popular with the posh neighbors, wouldn't it?
So you do it, doing a bit of light background research, after all, your just trying to enjoy the Summer Sunshine, but you need to find you dream car along the way.
I decided on getting a superb Mitsubishi Shogun, wonderful car, I read, great to drive I heard. So I started to scavenge around the local Private Dealers, after all, I've got a bit of cash, and for that touch of perfection, I'd rather have perfection in life rather than a hell life of rusting nuts, so I got out, on my mystery search, to find "this" car.
Luckily, just a short walk away from my house, I find a dealer, who's got 1 Mitsubishi Shogun in stock, and its good value he says!
"Oh yes, I love the car, my favorite you see, I can't be...
Advantages: All of the ones listed, price, robust, economical, spacious and more Disadvantages: a little bodyroll due to hight and shape, also a fairly hard suspension.
...I am the proud owner of a Mitsubishi Space Star Equippe 5dr, the car reg is of 2003 I have had it since that year and so far all that it has required maintenance was a couple of tires that I got punctures on, people that ride in it advised me that the car is very quiet, however it does have some noise when on the motorway when is going very fast, this is due to it's shape as is a tall car and therefore has more wind resistance. Overall is a nice car as is small enough for town yet big enough for longer trip and consumption is low.
I do have a small complaint it does have a little body roll when doing tight turns, which means it leans quite a bit when doing these tight turns, but understandably so due to it's height. Having said that it is very versatile as the back sits fold completely flat turning it into a spacious van like car I...
...The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 - FQ330.......... If your looking for something pretty special, which really in money terms isnt a lot compared to performance of cars in this category, its good value for money.... For the initial outlay for the car anyway.
The FQ330 option, is named this due to the performance of the car. 330bhp. There was also 2 other options, the FQ300 ( with 300bhp ) and later on the Mitsubish Lancer Evolution 8 MR FQ400 ( 400bhp!)
The FQ330 is extremely quick, the turbo kicks in at approx 3.5k revs. Similar performace car would be a Subaru WRX STi ( which is also actually more expensive than the Evo ) However there seem to be a lot of Subarus, or should I say, 'Scooby Doo's' out on the road these days, so the Evo is an alternative to be that little bit different. You wont see swarms of them on a normal...

Advantages: Very economical, spacious family hatchback. Disadvantages: Slightly sluggish
...I had decided not to buy the Cougar anyway, and no call came, so I still have the Mitsubishi! I wouldn't have changed it for the Cougar then anyway because I'm a stubborn old sod at the best of times!...

Review of Mitsubishi Carisma 1.8
Advantages: Frugal fuel economy/large boot Disadvantages: poor residual value
...Having driven 3 Mitsubishi galants for the last 9 years each one covering 140,000 mile plus with never breakingdown, I decided to buy a 3 year old ex company car, Charisma 1.8 GDI Elegance,off my employer as a second family car.
I personally do not like the looks but my family like it!
The car is a hatch back year 2000 on a V plate with 83000 miles on the clock.Bringing it home consisted of a 150 mile journey mainly down the A1.What a great drive,plenty of pick up when needed comfortable,relatively quiet and the fuel gauge hardly moved despite some rapid driving.I reset the trip computer on purchase and now after 1 month,all round town apart from the 1st 150 miles, it is returning 38mpg!!
The luggage area is extremely roomy for this size of car much bigger than the volvo V40 estate I was driving at the time.
Reliability is very good...
Advantages: Commanding driving position, Good ride and feeling of safety Disadvantages: MPG, old fashioned diesel sound
...The Pajero is a so-called ?grey import?, which is imported directly from Japan without official sanction of Mitsubishi Motors. They are almost identical to the Mitsubishi Shogun sold in this country for a number of years (1980?s-onwards), what the mechanical/electrical differences are I?m not exactly sure and it seems that the majority of people that deal with them aren?t sure either. The majority of ?greys? speedometers are in kilometres per hour, however ours has been converted to Miles Per Hour. The major difference between the official and grey versions is the level of equipment with the Pajero being far superior to the Shogun, depending of course on the specification level. The most obvious difference between Pajero/Shogun is the ?greys? colour scheme, with Pajero?s usually having a different coloured centre section. The long wheel...
