Mitsubishi ASX XC LS (2016-2020) (page 2 of 3)

It's a nice small SUV but too small for a young family. Back seat very cramped with two baby seats. No room for a third person in the back seat with the two baby seats. Boot space barely fits our icandy peach pram. Definitely does not fit a double pram. Standard LS is very standard with hardly any extras. Seat fabric feels cheap. Driving feels unstable on the road and the engine is quite loud. Positives are nice wheel rims, attractive front end design, good fuel economy and nice colour range. But unfortunately I regret this buy. Wish I did not ...Read more

First of all I have to say I've come from driving a 2002 Hyundai Elantra so obviously any new car will seem great by comparison. Having said that, I did also regularly use my mum's Volkswagen Tiguan 2015 so I do know what it's like to not drive a janky old car.
From a non-motoring enthusiast POV: It does grunt and take a bit of effort to accelerate from stationary but once it gets going it's smooth driving. The running costs seem pretty reasonable to me, a full tank did get us from Melbourne to Horsham and back (600km). A lot of reviews seem ...Read more

I bought my ASX after a test drive, I like the looks but after a few weeks I new I had made a mistake, where to start, the dash board kept making a rattling that was intermittent so the deal couldn't find it, the transmission was like Sherman tank it clunked into second gear, dealer said it ok after 70k, it handled poorly, I found that I was constantly revving it through the gears to bring it up to speed, o and it rubbish on MPH (1.8 diesel) gets no where near what it says on the box, and then theirs the servicing, get ready to stomp up £550 fo...Read more

I spent almost a year torturing myself on which small to medium SUV I should buy. I really wanted the extra space and size of an SUV but not the increased running expense and not one too big to move around the narrow streets of Sydney.
I feel my Diesel ASX model meets all of these requirements while providing a smooth drive. I test drove the Holden TRAX at the same time and that model steering was heavy in comparison. My 75 year old mother has further validated this; she was worried about driving the ASX due to the size but she has since rave...Read more

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

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

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
