Great

* Surprising amount of space - it can take four people easily
* Low emissions put it in tax band B, so it's very cheap to tax.
* Excellent fuel economy. It'll be ages until you have to fill up again.

Gripes

* That engine is way too noisy.
* It's a bit too expensive for a car of its size.
* Two airbags? Crashing this wouldn't be good for anyone.
DriveDrive rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Underpowered on the motorway, noisy at speed and only adequate around town.
ReliabilityReliability rating - 3 out of 5 stars
It's well built, but Mitsubishi hasn't done well in customer satisfaction surveys.
InsideInside rating - 2 out of 5 stars
Well laid out, but fiddly stereo controls blight the experience.
SpaceSpace rating - 3 out of 5 stars
It might be small on the outside, but it's huge on the inside. Think Tardis.
SafetySafety rating - 1 out of 5 stars
We'd like to see more than two airbags, please, Mitsubishi.
Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Alloy wheels, climate control, electric mirrors and a CD player are all standard. Satellite-navigation is an option.
