This is an update on my previous message. If you are thinking of buying one from a main agent for God's sake (and yours) get them to include in the deal a space saver wheel and tyre, this comes with a jack and wheel brace plus the screw to secure it to the boot floor. The incredibly stupid system of having a mini compressor and tyre sealant is, to say the least, totally unreliable. You can only use the sealant for punctures to the tread, well, we all know that in the real world punctures can be anywhere on the tyre, and you have to extract the foreign body responsible for the puncture and we all know how difficult that can be. I have ordered the spare wheel kit (cost £91.00 inc) but much more practical than the inept and unreliable sealant. Oh, the standard car DOES NOT COME WITH WHEEL BRACE OR JACK. So if you get a puncture that the sealant will not seal or you cannot remove the object responsible for the puncture you are b*****ed. You have been warned. I could not believe the tyre pressures either, quoted 2.4 bar, that equates to 35lbs per square inch, mine had 30 all round when collected from dealer and i actually felt when driving that they were too highly inflated, went to check and misread the label attached to drivers door, thought it said 24 but it read 2.4 bar, i erroneously put in 24 the ride was awful, checked the user guide and put in 2.4 bar and a much much better drive now. Still not getting near manufactures mpg figure. I read that a tank full of squirt would give 518 mile....., yeah right, dream on Mitsubishi. But still impressed with the little 'un, good thing is exclusivity, you dont see many. I like it.
