2001 Mitsubishi Space Star Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"Superb"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car arrived at the dealer without the allow wheels and minus all of the
Elegance trim parts. The dealer sourced all of the missing parts and fitted them.
Car ran perfectly for 22,000 miles then developed noisy tappets. The dealer stripped the head off and the vales were coked up to hell. They replaced the valves and tappet gear and decoked the engine - all under the warranty. Turns out that using supermarket fuel is to blame. Since then I've used only Shell and the car runs perfectly. Gives 45 MPG on a run and 38 around town.
General comments?
Now five years old and still running like new with amazing get up and go.
Has more internal room than our other car (Subaru Forrester)
A little bouncy in the handling dept, but a great car.
