Advantages & disadvantages - conclusion:

Page 2 about the driving report about the city cube of Mitsubishi: [at the beginning]
The Space Star is not a long-distance racer, nor is it a car that you drive to the Eifel on Sunday morning to enjoy the empty country roads and curves. Above all else, the Space Star is a practical car. A small car with enough space for everyday life and big enough for four people to drive across the country.

Fair prices

Well below the 10.000 € sound barrier begins the entry into the new Space Star. Mitsubishi saves on this model rather on the overall length and not on the safety and therefore are also in the 71 PS strong base model 6 airbags in series and also the ESP is always on board.

Mitsubishi is also coupling the switch to the 80 PS 1.2 liter to a better equipment line and so in the next stage you not only get 200 cubic centimeters more displacement and 9 PS, but thanks to the Shine equipment also an automatic air conditioning, the start & stop system , a height-adjustable driver's seat and a sensor control for lights and windshield wipers.

Advantages:

• Fair prices
• Agile in the city
• Economical in consumption

Disadvantages:

• Narrow seats
• Boring interior
• -

The consumption:

• Everyday driver without a thrifty foot: 5.6 liters per 100 km
• Eco-expert with a green toe: 4.9 liters per 100 km
• Field workers with full throttle desire: 7.2 liters per 100 KM

I would have liked that from Space Star:

• An engine with more torque and a gearbox with sixth gear.

The conclusion: Mitsubishi Space Star 1.2 Shine +

Economical city car

Mitsubishi took an unusual but understandable step when presenting the successor to the successful Mitsubishi Colt and shortening it in length. The constant growth of our cars is not helpful in the urban environment and so presents the Space Star as agile and clever small car alternative for people who pay less attention to status symbols and more on inner values.
