A good review. Goes over the basics. Doesn't seem like this reviewer was whipping it around in the corners though (no complaints on handling haha).

Likes:
- No road tax
- More cargo/boot space than outgoing Colt
- Well planned cockpit
- Good leg and headroom
- Good fuel economy / low running cost

Dislikes:
- Engine is 'a tad noisy'

I agree with this being a good review. But what do they mean by " average residual value of 41%"
on the last line of the review. { as we say in QLD aust " Please Explain"]

I think they're referring to resale value after a certain number of years (probably 3 years). However, I wondered how can they know this now when the car is brand new on the market? Must be using a projection based on other Mitsubishi models.

Pet peeve in this article:

All versions are also shod with low-friction tyres.

No they're not! They're shod with low rolling resistance (LRR) tires. It's a misconception that LRR tires are necessarily low grip. (Though perhaps these are.)
