1995 Mitsubishi Space Wagon GLXi review from Hong Kong
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have bought the car for just over one month, and noticed that a rear tire looses its tread quickly. Maybe it happened before I got the car, but I noticed it recently.
General comments?
The running cost of owning a car in Hong Kong is great. Gov't license fee is high (USD256/4 months), insurance is OK (20% NCB, USD282/year), petrol cost is high (USD1.54/Litre), parking cost is high (USD200/month).
So you can understand why the space wagon has a market here, you pay about the same amount as an ordinary 5 seats car, but you get to take on 2 more people.
The space is really limited inside for the second row (which seats 3) and the third row (which seats 2). Also if you are taking 7 people, the luggage space is very very limited indeed.
The handling of the car is not as responsive or impressive as a 5 seater. I used to own a Honda Civic prior to this, and I find the space wagon can be termed as a economic choice for a 7 seater, and handles better than a MPV.
