A great car

I bought this two year old second hand car in 2008. I took it for a drive and got hooked. Only after I bought it did I realize that it had only three cylinders! I was not sure how it would perform. However, the car drives with no strain on the engine even with a load. Acceleration is very good. It has plenty of room for goods as well as people. I had used 4.2 litre Mitsubishi Verada Sports car for two years in Australia so I was familiar with the brand. This hatchback is very convenient for supermarket shopping and local travel although I have taken it on long trips and once to France covering over 1500 miles. It is a very reliable car, never gave me any problem. I don't know how the new replacement model works but I get around 40-50 miles per gallon overall. I have never had to take it to a dealership yet so I will not rank dealership services. Last three MOTs cost me around 30 pounds a time with no extra work to be done. All what i have done is to replace the tyres once.
