Mitsubishi ASX - Should You Buy One?

[@CliffDaviszootour]

I have had my petrol ASX3 since 2011. I am not a fan of the new front panels but otherwise the new one seems to be a nice upgrade. It is not a sporty car but it is cheap to run (40 mpg), roomy (bigger than a Juke in the passenger area by miles), comfortable, ultra reliable, in 60K miles not one fault and on Michelin Crossclimate tyres it will be fine in 2WD in ice and snow. Best of all the controls are buttons and knobs, no poking at screens and taking your eyes of the road.

Hi Cliff,Did you try it off-road?

[@oddities-whatnot]

Good informative comment

[@simonl2072]

I have a 2012 with 130K. I have only replaced the front dampeners. They are great cars. Overpriced compared to the Nissan Qashqai's stopped their success.

I have just bought a 2012 Mitsubishi asx, only has 40,238 miles on the clock and been kept in immaculate condition , I saw it and instantly fell in love with it , took it for a test drive and I am completely obsessed , I’ve gone from a Vauxhall corsa to this 😄 hoping it does me well , yet to pick it up this week , very excited

[@rivervalegroup]

Brilliant to hear Georgia! We hope you enjoy your fantastic new Mitsubishi 👍

On my second now. I saved by opting for a "Black" edition with the previous front end. At £16000 otr it was a steal, with service plan and towbar thrown in. Loaded with kit and ultra-reliable. Some call it boring, l call it well made, safe, reliable and as well put together as any car out there. Dealerships are excellent too. It tows just over a ton, returns 45+ mpg and is a good motorway cruiser. It has no vices and is a proper SUV.

[@oddities-whatnot]

John Stott good post that. I shall add this car to my potential wish list for my next long term purchase.

[@jon1801]

@@oddities-whatnot the engine is chain drive and none turbo too, l don't think you will be disappointed.

[@oddities-whatnot]

John Stott chain drive? Good to know that cheers.

[@oddities-whatnot]

We dont need turbos on every damn engine. There is an obsession with torque and pulling power, we all managed perfectly well years ago before they started fitting turbos willy nilly to everything. I really think a lot of people today don't know how to drive properly, and expect the car to get them out of trouble. Bad drivers want and need a lot of power to mask their lack of driving ability. Disagree with me ? Observe the motorways on a daily basis and you will see my point. I laugh when I see the front end of cars smashed up because the driver hasnt been looking where they are going or have left it too late to change lanes or exit at a junction etc. Those people who are so damn impatient get everything they deserve. As for this car, a great review, a solid reliable long term option by the looks of things. Mitsubishi CVTs are also excellent, having driven the Outlander.

Cant fault my Mitsubishi asx 2019 model which ive had for 18 months. Cracking motor 👌

[@rivervalegroup]

That's fantastic to hear, Susan! What made you choose this car over the competition?

[@susansullivan9255]

Just liked the car . But im replacing my 2019 asx for a 2020 asx exceed 2 litre tomorrow.

Hi there, we have a longer in-depth version of this review which goes into more detail. Hope this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qYg42MbdqiY5o

[@davidtebbitt5537]

There is a diesel one too.

[@hassana22]

👍👍

[@welshjim22]

Just had one delivered as a hire car, ugly interior and doors so light they are like empty cans of coke.

[@rivervalegroup]

Hi Jim, are you currently looking for a new vehicle?

[@empresslee8764]

What were you comparing it to? Other subcompact of similar nature or other more premium cars?

[@Skyisnotalimit]

Mitsubishi is a low price Japan brand. Some cars are better some are worse. As a full time car mechanic, get a Toyota instead! This one is even worse than VAG.

[@Skyisnotalimit]

@Paul Apostoli Great being that without knowing about Mitsu!? This is well known facts. The L200 for example!? What a piece of trash! Blowed headgaskets, frontwheel bearings of hell, oil leak everywhere. I wouldn´t take this car even if i got payed.

[@empresslee8764]

So everyone in the world should just go around and only buy Toyota vehicles...only? What about affordability and other factors?

[@MattyClivingthedream]

Have to disagree. I have had 3 Mitsubishi's in a row. The first one is a 2011 Lancer, which I still own. In eleven years it has had zero issues with it. It still has the original wiper blades. Nothing has broken and it has cost me nothing but regular servicing. The second car is a 2012 Outlander. I had that car for 8yrs. Again, nothing broken, nothing spent and 100% reliable. The third car is a later model Outlander. It is only a couple years in, but this has had no issues either. Thats 480,000km on three Mitsubishi cars. Nothing spent, nothing broken and 100% reliable. I have owned Mazdas, Nissans, Toyota, Holden and Fords. All of them have had issues at some point. Even the Toyota had a costly breakdown.

[@Skyisnotalimit]

@@MattyClivingthedream Really!? Nothing spent in 8 years. Poor car… If you wanna keep a car in good condition, you’ll have to spend money on it. Fluid changing, brake pads, plugs, filters, washing and vax, etc But your super mitsu seem to run without all that. Good luck…

[@MattyClivingthedream]

@@Skyisnotalimit All three cars have been regularly serviced as per the book. But nothing else has been spent on them. I clearly outlined in my comment, that you clearly didn't read. I feel sorry for anybody that sends their cars to you, as you have no idea.

[@no-oneman.4140]

Dull, dull, dull dull, dull ......

[@oddities-whatnot]

No-one Man. Yes, your comment certainly is. Why watch this video if you dont like the car ? You need to be watching Corsa VXR videos, thats probably your sort of thing.

[@no-oneman.4140]

@@oddities-whatnot - wow you're witty, you must be an absolute joy to be with, I feel sorry for those around you.

[@mariosavva999]

This is not a dull car, I own a 4.2 RS4 and I have one of these as my everyday car, its brilliant.
