Ok coming from someone who works for Mitsubishi 2 things that you need to look out for 1. the starter motor trends to go because of the plastic ring gear but usually not under 100,000 kms 2. If it’s done 90,000kms or more check that the trans fluid has been changed and with genuine Mitsubishi CVT fluid, if it hasn’t or has been changed with non genuine fluid walk away, a new transmission can be north of $10,000.
Give out more information on the type of transmission oil to use as recommended by mitsubishi and how often that has to be done instead of fear mongering
Hi there Spike, can i ask what is your take on the sunroof? does it heat up the inside in summer?, i assume it closes off so no sun can penetrate but had to ask anyway ?
The FCM camera and touch screen can’t handle heat. Put a blanket over the windscreen if leaving the car in the sun for long periods. A sunshade under the windscreen doesn’t cut it.
I bought our Mitsi ASX in 2017, when it was 5 years old. It is that nice light blue colour. It is manual transmission, which is zippy and has never felt 'underpowered' even with a full cabin and boot. In nearly 5 years of owning it by now, and daily driving it - we have NEVER has a single problem and we love it! I don't think it's boring and I find the interior to be pretty comfy etc. THANKS AGAIN Mitsubishi Motors! 😄😄😄
10 years, 200k km in and I still love this thing! Only serviced once a year, everything still original on it, and it was driven 99% on some pretty banged-up city streets. Made in Japan is all I can say about the quality of this car! The only thing I replaced is the front discs and the battery! I have the 1.8DI-D 2WD version with 6-speed manual. Only thing I agree is the terrible plastics inside, so I covered most of it in leather for maybe 150-200$, now it's great 😊😊
Hi game on, same here and same red model. Only problem I had is a stupid glove box light bulb, which stopped the tail light from working. Luckily I found the problem and saved myself over €300 for a new tail light. I'm not going to change it for anything... Great little car with over 200,000 km and still going strong and watching the new cars breaking down on the motorways...
I will never understand the "too boring to drive". I have one and it drives PHENOMENAL. It gets me from point A to point B very smoothly and reliable. Parking is super easy, this car fits almost anywhere. I have Android Auto so I can look at my maps and control spotify at the same time. I can have phone calls through the car and I can even play games on it. Fuel consumption is efficient, I get mine down to 5.1l/100km whenever I drive out of town. In-town, averages on 7.5-8 This car is far from boring, and what does that mean anyway? Wanna race? Well buy a formula lol
Got a 2013 asx aspire (was classed as the top of the range when it came out) done 305 thousand kilometres and she hasn’t missed a beat. Only had one set of brake pads and rotors and engine mounts at 295k. Super reliable car. About to trade it in on a 2022 outlander exceed. Can’t beat the Mitsubishi reliability.
Frankly, i have been driving this car for almost 10 years, no problem at all. It is still fun to drive. Looking at the interior , yea i fully agree with you, it is already out of date, but i would say it reflect with the age of the car. in general i love this car, looking good in my opinion, it is fun to drive too, less maintenance, just replace engine mounting 1x, bushing, ball joint, tie road, and rear shock absorber 1x, that still reasonable with 10 year usage. The good things, those components is also cheap.
I also own a 10 year-old ASX and so far the parts I had replaced were the front mounts, speaker system, head unit and some electrical sockets. Overall it's a pretty fun and safe car to drive.
We now have our 3rd one (1st one was written off, 2nd one we stupidly sold for a bigger car) but we just keep coming back to this car for some reason, it’s like a reliable old friend that will never let you down, straight to the point no gimmicks what you see is what you get car. The value for money in terms of safety tech and overall practicality and reliability is unmatched. The 2.0 4B11 engine is also a gem and we are seeing mid to high 6L/100km admittedly 80% highway driving, it only gets thirsty if you thrash it, or if you are dumb enough to choose a cvt over the manual (they could have fitted a 6speed over the 10years its been with us on the N/A engines)
I bought my first asx new in 2013..and have bought two more new ones since...my latest is a 2020 version...Love this car...I play in a Rockabilly band THE MEMPHIS SUNS and can get all my gear and PA system into this thing no problems....The best car for sale in Australia for value and functionality...buy one if you can
The look of this car is timeless. 50 yrs from now it will still look good. Also its a mitsubishi. Very reliable. I still see 40 yrs old mitsubishi being sold here in my country like hotcakes. Most teens first car btw.
i LOVE my ASX 2.2D 150HP 2015 4WD. It's really good looking and I have never had any problem with it. And I have tested it's off-road capabilities. And it is actually really good. Especially in snow, if you have good winter tires.
We got my wife’s Asx for 23k brand new at the start of covid, budget rental car had needed to off load their new ordered stock. We wanted one because the boot is pretty good for a small suv unlike the the Cx3. Also we were told they are a Lancer engine and chassis. We are very happy with it years later.
If you replace that integrated stereo with an aftermarket unit and matte black facia/trim kit, you could get Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and delete a lot of that awful piano black plastic all in one swoop. Trim kits are around $100-150, a new head unit with CP/AA is around $400-600, and installation would be a couple of hundred. All in all, a big tech upgrade for about a grand.
I have 2020 version. I must say its a great car. I was looking for a more expensive car, but when i tested ASX i was hooked and it ticked all my boxes which is mainly steering and reliability. Also the design is very nice or at least i love the new led lights.
@@GabrielA-nf7vz Pretty good car overall, only had problem with entertainment console screen. It started not responding. Seems to be a major defect. Got it replaced under warranty at the dealership.
@@cactuslietuva good to know. I guess that’s the joy of a 10 year warranty. They look great and end of the day you just want something reliable. I’ve come from having some really good cars and some not so good (Cruze / being towed at least 3 times) so I’m at the point where warranty and reliability is what I need. Plus this is good on the eye.
@@GabrielA-nf7vz Yeah, i bought it mostly because of reliability. Also it has decent space inside. Fuel economy is decent on highway, depending on speed 7-8L/ 100 km. I have 2.0L 110 kw engine. As long as you don't push it too hard at the start, the acceleration is decent.
Thought this version of the ASX looked the best. Mitsubishi did well designing the exterior of this vehicle so it's pretty much timeless. However, the Dynamic Shield implementations after this facelift didn't really fit the vehicle
I have a 6.5yo. (MY15.5) 2wd petrol, base model, no sunroof. Had it for 5 years, got it second hand from Hertz, in Australia. It was not my first choice but I have grown to love it. My car has been practical and reliable car. Only issue I had was replacing the starter motor recently @6y 115,000KM, which is a big job in this car as it is very hard to get to. I agree with all boring parts, look, drive, feel, power, ...., you get what you pay for. Can be a little thristy, I do mostly city run and get 10.5L/100KM. Overall I am very happy.
Just purchased the Manual version last month (2018 unit) & for city driving, I feel that the performance is considered adequate. Very comfortable & quiet for cruising. Spacious interior & decent cargo space. Acceptable fuel consumption especially in the midst of daily traffic jam.
Yes I have one. The year is 2017. I pay 18•000. It only had 47.000. On the clock. Its a little over 50•000. Today. 14/ 6 / 2024. A very clean car. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
I have one and been driven this small suv for more than 6 years now , I bought brand new back in 2016, still a very reliable and good daily driver car, I actually quite like it, and that is why you also could see quite many asx in Australia. it's less maintenance as long as you look after the car by doing regular servicing ( the cost for servicing is also quite reasonable, and I just service the car once every year) . , I dont have any problem whatsoever. Yes the interior probably is outdated but I dont really care about that lol , it simply gets the job done, at least for me.
I had a 2011 model - size wise I think it was a good package for a subcompact SUV, but leather seats were like sitting on a wooden chair. It did feel cheap with the hard plastics compared to previous cars I had. Was economical and no issues but 2 years was long enough on those wooden seats.
The asx is a good car , very good fuel economy. Only Achilles heel is that CVT but as long as you don’t rev the dodge out of it often and change the fluid a bit more frequent than scheduled , it will not fail.
I own a 2nd hand one for almost 6 yeaes now ... zero issues, mechanical relaiblty similar to toyota ... exterior alright not classy ... for interior yes looks cheap i have the basic model too but for my limited budget it is okay and make comparison with the prestige cars is unfair. Service is very cheap with the local mechanic he always says this one like the basic corolla or camry very easy and fast to serve. Insurance cost is nnormal not expensive. For driving experience it is okay but nothing especial again we shouldn't compare with other classy car with a price 3 or 4 times. For me I just want reliable car does the job without impacting my pocket. So a big yes I do recommend it for the Australian market.
i bought 2015 model XLS NZ serviced regularly just travelled 180,000 km only reason i sold and upgraded to 2023 ASX LS model was high mileage great car ,great to drive, no mechanical issues OH! only had to replace left rear shock, did notice bonnet catch was rusting. paid $27990 2015 and just paid $27990 for 2022 model GREAT!
I have a '16 Outlander Sport, and while it's boring it's been pretty reliable. Most of the issues I've had with it were my own fault and we're easily fixed. Keeping up with general maintenance and getting any individual issues fixed quickly will keep it running for a while. 4 things I'd like to mention about it: -If you noticed a weird beep go off that sounds similar to that tone in an airplane cabin, but no warning shows on the dash, that sound is the high speed turn warning. It goes off at sharp turns if you're going faster than the speed on the GPS. It's sometimes annoying, but has helped me slow down for some pretty sketchy turns on unfamiliar roads. -The paddle shifters on the CVT are honestly useless for a "sporty" drive. However it is very good for controlling your speed in bad conditions. Using 4WD auto and the paddle shifters got me through some really bad black ice that was giving even some Subarus a hard time. -Get your transmission fluid changed at the dealer, or buy the genuine fluid yourself and give it to your mechanic. The CVT is very picky about the fluid and even high grade stuff seemingly goes bad quickly, causing acceleration issues and bad fuel economy. Use the genuine fluid if you don't want to possibly buy a new trans before 100k miles. -If you feel like modifying it, Lancer parts seem to work best with it. Exterior Outlander parts may not fit very well since the Sport is smaller with slightly different body design. Unfortunately you can't do power mods unless you wanna blow the CVT (small things like air filters and ECU tunes are really all you can do), but I've heard the manual versions do very well with performance mods.
I think the conservative look is really nice compared to what was available at the time in 2014. Feels quite classy inside…I agree about the seating but eventually I did get it right.
i have one for about 4 years, 2013 model 1.8 diesel 150hp and i agree with your review. I think that a diesel model with manual drive and 4WD makes a very good combo. CVTs are the major problem of the Mitsubishi family in general. Had to do some major repairs on mine as after the 5 year mark some components have failed, but still happy with the purchase as it's a very torky car that gives nice feelings with the turbo. Get a model with 1.8 ( japan made) and not the 1.6 (PSA made - but maybe better for reliability?) and it will take you places as it is shorter in lentgh and a with a bit more ground clearenace than a RAV4.
The 1.6 was never sold in Australia. I have the 2013 MY14 2.2 DiD with 6-speed conventional auto. It is a great country car. Again, I agree with the review - the interior isn't high rent but functional enough. Too much hard plastic. I have done 160,000 km and the car has been very reliable. The ASX will soon become the reserve vehicle, with a Subaru Outback on order. Will probably curse the fuel consumption of the Subaru but I wanted something with enough rear space to sleep in when camping.
None of the diesels have a CVT. The 1.8 diesel doesn't even come in auto or CVT. The Mitsi CVTs are actually very reliable if the fluid is changed as per service intervals. As the mechanic pointed out in the video, compared to the number of them on the roads, they present very few problems. Even towing, so long as they have the transmission cooler (Outlander and Delica D:5) they don't give problems.
Mitsubishi really got this third generation ‘RVR’, as it’s known overseas, right. Its compact size, smart packaging and decent two-suitcase luggage space minted in a fetching form seemingly impervious to ageing made it appealing to the young females, younger families on a budget and older empty-nesters who, according to its importer, are among its core private buyers. -woah that is hard to read
next paragraph: "The ASX’s car-like, Lancer-derived on-road manners won over many buyers. That Mitsubishi would eventually axe Lancer completely did, in no small part, spurn on the crossover’s popularity even further" -damn who writes this haha
I have a Petrol MY15.5 Auto 2WD XLS. Transmission failed at around 60,000 kms when just out of warranty. Fully Mitsibushi serviced. 1 dealer refused to look at, said “couldnt find any issue with the car” … that too after keeping it for a day. Another dealer, quoted 7k +. Connected with the dealership I bought the vehicle from “Heidelberg Mits”, they fixed it under warranty considering the low kms and a wrong service done for the kms by another dealer. Over a good vehicle if you can put up with the average build quality. Very very reliable other than trans issue, could be a one off. Panoramic roof models are ovens in summer. Mits couldve improved the insulation.
I have a 2013 ASX Aspire, and yes the leather seats are a bit hard! I purchased mine with 180,000 klms on it, first thing I did was to get the Outlander heat exchange unit, and put a transmission cooler on it. All up about $1000 fitted, but well worth the investment. I have 240,000 kilometres on it presently, and it still runs like new. I average 9.5 litres per 100 kilometres, but a little better on the highways. About right for a car that weighs 1.38 tonnes. I like having the 4WD and the diff lockers. I don't get slip in the wet as I drive it in 4wd mode all of the time. I have no regrets, and hope to keep diving it for another 5 years or so. I will easily do 500,000 kilometres or more with regular servicing.
Great move with the trans cooler. Wreckers yards can be a great source for them too, a straight bolt-on fit. It's the same story with the 2WD Delica with essentially the same running gear. With a trans cooler they are towing caravans and boats with 250 & 300,000 kms.
9.5 liters? With that low weight? That's horrible! I used to have a Bmw 5 Series , 1.5tons DRY weight so around 1.6t wet. Fuel consumption 7-8 liters in a 1999 car. The ASX is much never. The ASX isn't heavy and it's weight isn't the reason for its high fuel consumption. The reason the Bmw despite its weight consumed less is probably it's good drag coefficient , gearing and well made engine and DEFINITELY that you wasted lots of energy driving 4WD all the time instead of when it's needed
My mother recently bought a 2012 mitsubishi asx and the only complaint she has for it are the very hard seats. For me personally i think theyre fantastic but im a fully grown dude on the heavier weightscale. Super comfy to drive around town, lazy as hell on the freeway but if you're not in a hurry then this car is honestly really great.
Had a manual transmission, 4wd, 150hp diesel one for 11 years. No problems whatsoever. Really nice to drive on a highway, fuel consumption goes up in the town, but it depends on a driving style. If you want to go fast, 300Nm torque will allow you to accelerate quickly. I find the repeated remarks about the looks a bit off. To me this car looks nice and some "sporty" things I wouldn't touch with a pole don't. One thing you didn't mention is that front passenger seat won't fold backwards, so if you bought some shelves in Ikea, they won't fit into ASX, although they did fit into my old Colt. Rear visibility is a bit bad. Fabric remained in mint condition. Steering wheel leather got a bit cloudy in some places. Overall excellent car, thank you Mitsubishi Motors.
My 2013 Pajero Sport had seats that looked like it was trimmed with the skin of an underfed donkey which had the misfortune of passing by the Mitsubishi factory in Thailand. Now that I see the ASX also has similar, it seems like they maybe had a herd of them.
Second hand 2019 2.4 liter automatic Outlander Sport (U.S. name branding) and after a year I still like it. It runs smoothly, gets reasonable gas mileage, and doesn't look bad at all. Everything works well (android auto and apple carplay) and handles really well in Massachusetts winters. No problems with passing power on the highway and hasn't had any issues at all. I do wish there were more after market accessories here in the U.S., but it's not a very popular brand here.
You should try using the paddle shifts for what they're good for on a CVT, it's not trying to be a racecar. On the highway, in combo with the torque converter that locks from around 20kph, flicking it "into gear" with the paddles locks it in 6th and it genuinely feels like a manual under the throttle. Ditto going up hills - flicking it into 3rd (for instance) gives a far more positive feel under the throttle with no "CVT flare". Going downhill, flicking the down paddle instantly holds the gear and gives engine braking exactly like a manual. I have the 2.4 petrol with CVT (Delica D:5) and after owning 70+ vehicles in my life the Mitsi application of the Jatco CVT is one of the best all round transmissions I've ever used.
Having said that, the 2.4 is the minimum size engine I'd want with the CVT's behaviour. The larger engine means almost no CVT flare in normal driving, it just shifts and tries to remain at as low rpm as possible.
This helps me allot, I was struggling getting use to my ASX 2016 2.0 CVT. Using the manual paddle on CVT model is just what I needed to give it those 5 STARS.
@@warmage247 Yep. Not sure what Nissan were doing with it, the Mitsi application, programming and engineering is great. I regularly tow trailers, even with a 1.2 ton excavator, with it and it performs perfectly. So long as the fluid is regularly changed, you hear similar stories with the Outlander which is a the same running gear as the D5.
I bought a 2010 MY11 ASX Aspire 1 month ago. It's a 2.0 CVT. Since it's the "Aspire" has 4wd selection, leather seats, seat heathers, Rockford Fosgate sound system with subwoofers etc. I just love the car ! It has 185kms but it's well look after. In fact the previous owner has serviced the car only at the dealer ! Best part is I got it for AUD 8500 which I think is a bargain ! My only complain is the satnav is so old and it's a DVD based one. I've heard changing the multimedia unit may affect the sound system. Looking for a way to upgrade it. Apart of that this is nice ride ! Does about 12-13kmpl in city / daily commute. In the highway it does about 16-17 kmpl.
I absolutely love your commentary! And your reviews are blunt and honest. I am in the market for a second-hand car in NZ and I always check with YOU first, before I go and test drive one! Cheers AK!
Reliability wise they’re sound. My brother has had three consecutive ASR’s for work vehicles (courier) and none of them had an issue. In fact the first one he bought off the company, used it for the family, and now his son drives it. Still has no issues. Boring as bat shit to drive though😂
Got handed one of these as a rental late on a rainy night. I drove it around the block and handed it back for an upgrade; like the prima donna I am. It felt like a roller skate on ball bearings.
2013 ASX Aspire 2.2 Diesel with proper 6 speed Auto. Now with 230,000Km+. It has a good amount of grunt when needed. Sadly, they do not bring diesels in any more. Has it ever failed my wife--never! Biggest pain in the arse for servicing is the requirement to adjust the (hydraulic) tappet clearances every 60K. Dealers love ripping you off to do that job. Nothing else is an issue in that regard. I have replaced the balance shaft drive as they can rattle although once I pulled it out, there was nothing wrong with it but as I had the new UK parts (modified hardened block) I did it anyway. Cannot complain after 10 years. I only use Penrite synthetic oil to the right spec, and the bottom end is clean as a whistle (saw that when I changed the balance drive).
Ah, nup. I generally love Mitsubishi's, (I've owned quite a few) and I had this for a few days and the issues raised are plain to see. In terms of the subjective aspects, we are all entitled to our own opinions. The fact you love yours is wonderful and I couldn't be happier for you, it's a completely valid opinion . However, the fact the ASX didn't resonate with me is equally as valid. Generally when it comes to subjectivity, neither is wrong or right but being critical of someones opinion and making accusations like this is misguided. - AK
Fuel consumption in the highway I have gotten it to 6.4L with 3 people in the car from Sydney to Newcastle. From North Sydney to Anzac bridge 6.8L. From North Sydney to Campsie mid 7L (with a little bit of congestion).
You are the best, Adam! (and team!) I'm so grateful you did this so soon, too! I DM'd you on Instagram asking for this specific car and you delivered! All of my questions were answered. This will no doubt help me in finding the right car for my mother. Speaking of which, 6:26 I hope you called your own mom back afterwards lol
Purchased one new 2015 and it is a great product. Fuel efficient and does get up and go . I now do service it myself, oil and filter every 5K as 15K is to many klm for any engine. Great value and product.
OK as a whitegoods domestic appliance. Does what it says on the tin. Fit for purpose like a tumble dryer. Wouldn't want to wake up and see this in my drive every morning tho. Is inspiration to get a better job I guess. Just like your tumble dryer it's not the sort of thing you turn to look back at as you walk away. Good review tho. 👍
CVT is awful if you need to overtake, otherwise it's very smooth. Bluetooth is definitely a problem. I only got an average of 10L/100km on the 2ltr auto, which is fairly shit, considering you never drive fast and CVT is designed for efficiency. Maybe there's an issue with build up on the throttle valve. I don't even know if it has direct injection. Apart from that, during 5 years ownership of a 2015 top model, only had to replace an engine mount. The reverse camera is very good, the ride is decent, the seats don't hug you but I prefer that because a lot of manufacturers get that part wrong. For the price you pay, it's not a bad deal at all but definitely nothing fantastic.
There are some leaked renders of the Lancer XI Evo on the internet, speculating a comeback in 2023. I'm also a big fan, but I hope the hole Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi alliance will not drop the crappy Renault engines under the Lancer's hood.
My brother and his wife own one of these. It’s their family car because it’s so cheap to drive. It’s a 2012 base model so it’s nothing fancy but it’s blue and fits the car seats and pram (just) with the passenger seat all the way forward
I had a 2014 mid-trim 2L petrol cvt (brand new) for 4 yrs. It's OK, but I secretly call it "Gutless". It felt like it can overtake, but will leave you frustrated and embarassed when the other driver stares at you try to push your car with the stearing wheel. This car taught me to stay calm and go with the fllow. Sold it (125k km later) with a 94% rating from a third party inspector/mechanic and at a good price.
I own a 2016 15.5 model year in silver. Around about 100k kms, serviced it maybe 4 times in 8 years. Did the oil change myself each year along with 2 brake pad changes. 1 wheel alignment during rego check. Yes I agree boring car. But does the job. Can over take when req. Steering wheel feels heavy but feels alright as I think the wheels air has something to do with it. Wonder what my next car will be. If they sold a rav4 prime here I would buy it in a heartbeat.
I regret trading in my 2013 RVR/ASX. It was the ES manual. Had it for 5 years and the only thing that broke was an AC vent. It had only 65K kms and now a lot of them being sold online have 200K+ kms on them already.
Use Cusco Front and Rear Roll Bars, Tein Street Zero coilovers, forged lightweight wheels. + change your motor and CVT to 4b11t + SST from Lancer EVO X. Than it be a very fun to drive car.
@@Eagleshot26 Yes, I bought a 2011 model recently. The biggest problem that I’ve had is with getting parts. I’m in the Yukon. I don’t know if parts are easier to get elsewhere in Canada.
I bought a 2020 MR in 2021 (covid period) it has the 10 years warranty and capped price servicing (dealer servicing) I think it is ok a little thirsty compared to our other car (Mazda 3) I was worried about the CVT going poops one day so I considered a trade-in but the CX3 is too small and the CX30 is too dear, so I think I will keep it now after watching this and another video on the CVT.
I have read a few of the comments below and they all seem to say what I believe. I brought my MY17 in 2018 with 3k on the clock (Demo) and now have 61K, Replaced front Tyres @ 61k and no other repairs of replacements. Prior to owning this magnificent vehicle I owned 4 Magna S/Wagons and never once put a spanner on any of them. You cannot do a report on something you don't drive every day, if you want to know how a car performs ask someone who owns one.
Great car, I have a 2016 2.2 liter diesel ASX. What I don't like is the switches for the heated seats are next to the seats, fiddly to reach. High beam switch stalk doesn't have flashing option, no rear lighting with the sunroof version (very annoying in the dark!).
Agree with your thoughts. My highlights: Early models have a rough ride on harsh roads. CVT and engine combo loud and shit on full acceleration but super quiet once up to speed. Comfy. Easy to get in/out. Reliable and cheap servicing. Easy to park. Great visibility.
I just got a new one, not fancy and definitley boring but is cheap, safe and runs like a car. I was after a used 2019 or newer one but at current inflated used pricing new won out.
Not a bad review but you basically shunned the Diesel variants I think the comment on the petrol being the better option I find that is hard to justify, the 2.2 litre turbo diesel and 6 speed auto is a fantastic combination with average 6 litres per 100kms and plenty powerful . Maintenance costs are very low and I’ve had no issues with mine with 87,000 on the clock now.
That Leather has shrunk and gone hard from direct sun and lack of cleaner/conditioner, it’s a common issue with car leather the front passenger squab being the most exposed
The manual petrol fwd is one of if not the most reliable small SUVs there is. CVTs fail, DPFs and manifolds stuff up on the diesel, but the manual petrol is absolutely unbreakable. Mitsubishi’s only fault is not putting the manual behind the 2.4 engine. That would have been a great car to drive.
I guess this is 2016 one like mine - but black looks way better :) , never had a problem with Android even with v13 - talking about phone calls and mp3. Back then i have bought it brand new and not a single problem till now...
He forgot to mention that its also built on the same playform as Citroen C4 Aircross :D an under rated car, really good and nice to drive and also comes with 4wd
Love these reviews! Hey, wondering if you could do a review on Mitsubishi Outlanders? I see a lot of them on the roads, and they are in my short list so I'd love to hear the Redriven take on them, pretty please :-)
Can you please review the Holden Captiva? Not so much as a promotion but to warn the public who are looking for a 'cheap' SUV to stay clear of these things.
I bought my ex wife a 2011 aspire with 6,000 kms and she still has it. It’s been faultless. I then bought a 13 model for my daughter with 26,000 kms and same result. While I’m a dyed in the wool Mazda man, I really can’t complain about these cars. A small niggle would be the wooden feel in steering, but maybe I’m just fussy.
