  • Road Test: Mitsubishi Grandis (2004-)

    RELIABILITY AND QUALITY RATING:

    Mitsubishi products are inherently reliable - the Space Wagon was one of those cars that just run and run, so there's little reason to suppose the Grandis shouldn't follow the tradition. One potential repair worry - the complex direct injection GDI eco engine - has been removed from the equation so if anything, the Grandis should be even more failsafe. The VW diesel is a tried-and-tested unit and so should cause no problems.

    Quality overall with the Grandis is respectable: doors are solid, and panel gaps are consistent. Whether some of the interior trappings - like the sci-fi designer dash - are as solidly constructed as its rivals is open to question. Darker grey and black interior plastics feature in cars built from Autumn 2005 and are a lot nicer than the early car's light grey plastics.
