Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car.
The car is not quite as spacious as the Spacestar name suggests. The boot is no bigger than any hatchback. The rear seats do slide forward, but this takes away from the legroom of rear seat passengers. However the rear seats can also be collapsed to increase the boot space, which is great if you are carrying bulk items.
There are plenty of storage space around the car, such as under the front passenger seat.
The seats are reasonably comfortable.
The air-con drains a lot of power, this happened with a colt I had years ago.
The handling and suspension is somewhat soft, but overall is more than sufficient for carrying the family around.
Reliability is a strong point for Mitsubishi and is the main reason why I bought from this manufacturer.
The gear change is really smooth.
Acceleration is a little sluggish.
Overall a reliable, well handling car. I'm just not sure why they advertise it as an MPV rather than a hatchback.
We have a big problem with our 2001 Mitsubishi space star, they told us when we brought it there was a known problem and they would decoke it for free for the life of the vehicle, that it was a simple job using crushed walnut shells and would take no time at all. Seven years later we came to trade it in and they said it would be £600 pounds to decoke it because it had to be done within the period of warranty, this was never mentioned to us... we feel totally conned, customer service was no help and wouldn't stand by the comments of their sales representatives. We will NEVER buy from Mitsubishi again!
Did you really wait for seven years to fix something they offered you for FREE?
You are the ones to blame, not Mitsubishi. Some issues with the car have to be fixed in time, otherwise serious complications occur that nobody would be willing to repair for free on >7 y. old vehicle.
