Mitsubishi Space Wagon GLX GDi 2.4

Ha car for all most 1 and ! Half years its very good never let me down and when on a long drive fully loaded get 30 to 35 mpg witch is better than most mpvs on the market round town its not as good get 20-28 mpg but if you drive her like a old man you get close to 28mpg but its hard to do when you have that 2.4 under the bonnet as she loves to fly! It's a gdi and gets the same mpg as my mates 1.6 Ford but if you put the foot down it flys and so dus ur petrol lol if you buy a pre 2001 model the road tax is cheaper too. Don't use Tesco or other suppermarket petrol as it will cost you loads later in repair bills as it will coke up ur inlets things. They need services more to keep them running at 100% mine is over 11 years old and runs better than newer cars. Service history is a must and use shell petrol its the best for this sort of car. Tappets can make a bit of noise been like that since I got it and last week I put some oil treatment stuff in and its now working a treat. Don't take to a main dealer at they will rip you off. EBay is good for parts I use a guy called spacewagonheavn and find him cheap and willing to help a lot.

Although still very low mileage I have only had usual wear and tear bills i.e. tyres, wiper blades, and the handbrake adjusted. Just went straight through another MOT. My husband keeps suggesting I get a new car but I am not keen to part with this one.

the space wagon is a practical and reasonably fast car, it has a bigger engine than an audi TT quattro. it looks amazing in white and better than any of its rivals, the gearbox is great its good to drive and is great as a family car or a work car i would definately recomend this car.

I bought my spacewagon in 2002, had engine warning light on. Independent garage said it was 'occasional misfire' - I hadn't noticed it in practice. Still has light on now, 8 years later. Car runs smooth as smooth. Too old to throw big money at now. Recently cleaned throttle body with BG spray, seemed to help a bit ( it was lightly carboned and seemed to stick a little bit when I poked the butterfly valve with my pinkie!), always use Shell V-power, and occasionally injector cleaner in petrol. Away from the engine, car is the best I've had, great drive, enormous load-space ( takes 4 rubble-sacks full of hedge trimmimgs to the tip! ). Nice car if engine OK.

I like the car, but I have had problems and it has been a nightmare dealing with the main dealers. I had to replace the throttle body which Mitsubishi charge £1,000 for. The dealers would not get around to fixing it for 4 weeks, so no car for that time. I got a secondhand spare in the end. I have just had more problems. The car are built so you have to go to the main dealers for any engine management problems. Pity as the car is decent, but would defintely not recomend them due to the spares costs and dealer problems.

Good all round car but does suffer from a strange tickover. Economical, powerful, light to drive, good gearbox and kickdown, good visibility, good space, very easy to drive.

After 6 months the front discs had to be skimmed and then again at 12 months the car only had 12000 miles on the clock and we had it from new. 24000 miles and the engine would not tick over it was decoked and a new management system was fitted we had it back from the garage and was never the same again in fact the Mitsubishi mechanics told we to get rid of it.

After having the car from new x reg 2.4 gdi model and having nothing but problems with it paying for services which are not cheap I would not touch this car with a barge pole.

Love the Mitsubishi Space Wagon. It has been a great car for ferrying the kids around and the hubby to his races. Has driven us all over the show and we've not had any major problems with it other than general wear and tear. (Touch wood!) Sadly our children are getting a little big for the car now as there isn't much legroom in the back of the 7 seats, but if you only need the 7 seater on odd occasions then its a great car with plenty of room.

I got this vehicle with 45,000 mileage on it, in November 2007, everything was pretty fine until I realize that sometimes when you start the vehicle it shuts off, and then to my dismay it started giving me a major problem I was on the Highway and then the engine check light came on the vehicle slow down and I heard a cracking sound in the engine and it started stuttering I got so frightened. I took it to a mechanic and he runs it through the computer he said that it is some power senor going bad but am not sure, the other think am wondering if the petrol has anything to do with that since 90 octane is the highest petrol available to us here

All of this started happening 8 months after importing this car from overseas.

Overall the Mitsubishi Space Wagon is pratical for anything taking kids to school going shopping or like my family going camping, get everything in the car. Nice drive, solid and OK on fuel, just don't floor it or fuel goes quickly. Glad I got one but as mine is imported some wagons are dogdy have a good look around one test drive it get it check out get a good one and you will love it.
