When I started looking for a SUV to replace my 2003 Nissan X-Trail I listed essential features that I wanted in an SUV. This included having good ground clearance, sufficient load carrying capacity and a flat load area when the rear seats are folded down, improved fuel economy, good engine power and a proven reliability record. Ideally would like 4WD/AWD but happy to settle for 2WD.

The winner was a used 2015 XC Mitsubishi ASX with 35000 kms and I couldn’t be happier. I looked at others including the Nissan Dualis (rear seating was too smal...Read more

We bought the ASX mainly because our previous car had become too difficult to get in and out of. Due to our age and mobility problems, we needed car that had much easier access, and after trying all available makes of small SUV's, we found the ASX suited us the best. Being the first car we have had with CVT transmission, we found it had a different feel when driving, but we got used to it very quickly and find it an easy car to drive. We have been surprised at how comfortable the ride is, the front seats are excellent, even on a long run. Pe...Read more

The car handles really well and the shaped seats hug you and I find even with a bad back they are very comfortable, even driving long distances. Being able to adjust the height of the drivers seat is very handy. Good fuel economy and has the power to pass vehicles when I need it. Cruise control and steering wheel gadgets very easy to find and use.There is plenty of leg room in the front and even in the back which was a contributing factor when I purchased it. Field of vision is excellent. Like the big screen reversing camera once you get used t...Read more

Performance and handling are excellant, there is quite a bit of road noise from tyres and some wind noise. I hope that when i replace the tyres with Coopers or a like quality product the noise will be reduced. The interior is generally well laid out with controls readily accessible. The audio,GPS, bluetooth is poor. It is a difficult system to learn, the GPS is of poor quality and functionality compared to a Tom Tom. The cruise control has no memory and has to reset everytime. The keyless system often will not allow you to lock the car unless ...Read more

Having been virtually forced into buying an additional vehicle for my wife becuase our Ford Focus is just downright dangerous (even if Ford has chosen to fight the class action against their Powershift transmissions and ignore thousands of their customers), we looked to buy a small sedan like an i30 or Kia Cerato. But the sub $20k price was for the base models with smaller engines and not too many features.
The ASX base model has a series of accessories included in the price, including some nice alloy wheels, climate control, reversing sens...Read more

This vehicle is used for dual purpose and a 2nd vehicle which has not long completed it's 1st 15k service. It's used for occasional beach & easy off road driving but the majority of time is for road trips and around town. I found the road noise very noticeable, particularly on the more course bituman roads. As I only use it now and then I always notice the noise when I 1st drive it, but I do get accustomed to it after a short period. I may try and change tyres in the future. It is otherwise comfortable for myself and family to use on the beach...Read more

Some time ago I posted some information I thought might be helpful to those of you interested in purchasing or reading information on the ASX. My vehicle is now over 18 months old and has covered over 55,000K. My last post centred around road noise transmitted through the original Dunlop SP tyres into the cabin space. After 20,000K I got fed up with the drone noise especially whilst travelling over courser bitumen surfaces. After some investigation and counsel from some motoring/tyre experts I changed the tyres over to Michelin Primacy 3ST. Thi...Read more

Reasonable value for price. Quite comfortable. Good legroom. Drives well. Better acceleration than the diesel. Soundproofing could be better. The space saver tyre is useless in Australia. Why should you have to pay extra for a full size spare when one could be in it anyway at next to no extra cost. The dash head set bluetooth software is shocking. Even a Note 4 phone which is a tested phone listed in the Mitsubishi "link" website does not pair with the set. And our ipod sometimes pairs, and sometimes does not. Waiting to see if the dealer can f...Read more

The SUV is small in inside and the boot very small. It is suited to about town, its pick up is ok. As for having a moon roof and black/grey leather seats do not leave it open when its parked in the sun or you will burn your back. These moon roofs while at night might look good, but when its a very hot day a waste of time. Do not get one, its looked very outdated inside, and there is up grade coming, as to what it will look like wait and see. The finish feels lacking

As for the ride its alright handles well but its not like the OUTLANDER, YES...Read more

Takeoff speed is terrible - put your foot down & there is a lot of noise with little movement. Mitsubishi claim 'the computer can't find anything wrong, so it is fine.' The computer doesn't drive it on the road.
It requires a 150M minimum gap to join the motorway from a standing start. It just can't build the speed quick enough for anything less.

The doors can & have been unlocked from about 50M - inside the house without knowing it had been opened. As the car is then unlocked, insurance won't cover anything stolen or damaged. Nothing wrong...Read more
