Good: Seven seat cabin with a walk-through design. Spacious and reliable for the money.

Good: Practical, economical car with an upright driving position, decent performance and tidy handling.
Bad: Oddball styling is unappealing. Only one sliding rear door. One-piece rear seats are heavy to remove.

Good: The smooth, strong V6 engines sound wonderful.
Bad: The complex 202bhp 24-valve V6 is too risky as a used buy. Some parts tricky to obtain. Repairs could cost more than the car is worth.

Good: Terrific performance for the money, combined with the surefooted traction of four-wheel drive.
Bad: Imports with little or no history. Can work out expensive if previous owners have cut corners on maintenance.

Lancer based 'crossover' mid-size SUV/estate car based on US Outlander model officially due in Europe with revised suspension, 2.0 litre and 2.4 litre GDI engines. Read on and find more details about Airtrek 4x4 in Cardiff.
Good: Painless to own and drive, unless it's a GDI fed 95Ron unleaded.
Bad: A modest car with a great deal to be modest about. Bland looks, bland drive and as much charisma as a washing machine.

Good: Tough, dependable and hard working. Better from 2000 onwards and improved again in 2002.
Bad: Unsophisticated road manners. Really an SUV based on an L200 pick-up.

It’s no sportscar, of course, and doesn’t pretend to be. The steering is light, without much feel. But it handles decently enough at normal sorts of speeds. It doesn’t irritate by being too sluggish in its responses. Read on for more detailed information about the vehicle on the market in Cardiff.
Good: Cheap to buy now and mechanically reliable with timely servicing.
Bad: Rusts and body parts are expensive.

Good: Tidy looks and solidly screwed together. Cheap to buy these days. Generally reliable if looked after. Became a Proton.
Bad: Three doors only, which limits practicality, and not very roomy inside.

Good: Good balance of pace and economy. Decent ride and handling. Solidly constructed and proving reliable.
Bad: Not much space inside, especially in the back. Only three doors, which limits practicality.

In the following article, you will learn some information about impartial car review of Mitsubishi Colt (2009 - ) available in Cardiff with good points and bad points, reliability, car performance, car fuel consumption, car engine options and car technical information.
Base models are often the best test, so we went straight for the £7,499 Colt Red. The dashboard is the same as the 5-door. The front end is the same. But the 3” shorter 3-door is really a different car.
Good: Good value for money, characterful with 1.1 petrol or 1.5 diesel, excellent front seat access.
Bad: The public hasn't taken to it in big numbers.

Good: Well priced, roomy, versatile, a real 'little big car'. Good 1.1 petrol and 1.5 diesel engines.
Bad: Hasn't caught on. Used examples cheaper than Fiestas.

There is excellent headroom and huge seat travel. I drove the Colt Red with a guy who is 6’ 6” and even he did not need to push the seat all the way back. The doors excellent access and open so wide and so far into the footwell that even a very elderly person can easily enter the car in the recommended ‘bum first manner’ then swing their legs inside.
The concept car looked great at motor shows. But that was before they had to engineer a hard top and a boot it would fold into. So it shares the sort of cab-forward big rump look of the 307CC and from the side with the top up looks distinctly dumpy.
Good: Folding hardtop. Four seats and decent boot space, even with the roof stowed. Very well equipped. Cheap £9,999 CZC1 from Nov 2007.
Bad: Looks dumpy with the roof up. Lacks structural rigidity when you lower the roof. Rear seats are very tight for adults.

Good: Versatile interior layout, with seven or eight seats. Shogun underpinnings give it decent off-road ability. Some are very well equipped.
Bad: Unsophisticated road manners. Some shabby ones around with trashed interiors and little or no service history.

Eclipse Spyder in Cardiff is the open-top model for the new fourth generation Eclipse coupe introduced in 2005. Eclipse Spyder lauched Jan 2006 Detroit Show. 4,565mm x 1,835mm 1,381mm. Spyder is offered in two trim levels: the GT and the GS powered by 3.8-liter V6 and 2.4-liter 4-cylinder MIVEC engines respectively.
Good: Brilliant handling, traction, roadholding and acceleration. Peerlessly quick point-to-point car in all weathers. Makes you feel like Tommi Makinen.
Bad: You may need Tommi Makinen's credit card to run one. Your driving licence may be in danger. Careless maintenance will mean big trouble.

The EVO IX is the latest and last of a long line of EVOs, which began, logically enough, with the EVO 1, a 247bhp all wheel drive car built to qualify for FIA Group A rally regulations and get out there and fight the Imprezas.
Good: Very quick in a straight line and seemingly no need to slow down for corners. A superbly entertaining, safe and rapid point-to-point car.
Bad: Rust, bodged crash repairs and suspension damage are all potential hazards.

Good: A sensationally quick cross-country car in all conditions and the safest way to blow Ferraris into the weeds.
Bad: The speed at which points keep appearing on your licence. Can work out expensive if it hasn't been maintained properly.

Good: Not having to slow down for corners and realising how short the straights can be. Blindingly quick over any route.
Bad: Expensive to run, even before you factor in fines for speeding. Watch out for bodged crash repairs and poor maintenance.

Good: Same extraordinary performance in more civilised package, and even available with an SST DSG style twin shaft, twin clutch paddleshift 'automatic'
Bad: SST can sometimes bog down pulling out of slow corners.

Good: Looks far more expensive than it really it. V6 versions are pacey. All should be reliable given timely servicing.
Bad: GS models being sold at GPX prices. Doesn't handle as well as the sporty coupe styling suggests.

Good: Plenty of kit and keenly priced. Less complex models are trouble-free.
Bad: Spares for major repairs are pricey. Avoid complex 4WD/4WS models.

Good: Thoroughly engineered, well-equipped family car with in-built durability. A comfortable, refined drive for the money.
Bad: Problems with autoboxes. Even minor body damage could work out expensive.

It’s longer than a Galaxy, but shorter than a Mondeo estate. So this is a big MPV, a class above the excellent Mazda 5 and head to head against the Toyota Avensis Verso rather then the Corolla Verso. It looks really good.
Good: Striking-looking, roomy 7-seater with stacks of kit. Clever design details make it a versatile, practical carrier of people or cargo.
Bad: Not as agile as a Mazda 5 or S-Max, but more roomy.

Bad: High price. Not for motorways.

Good: UK's most popular pick-up in its day. Tough running gear. Long tyre life.
Bad: Too many independent imports led to confusion of specs.

Like the D-Max and the Vigo, the L200 is not available in the UK with the most powerful diesel engine that can be found under Thai market bonnets. EU4 regs have seen to that.
Good: The best handling, most wieldy pickup in its class. Extremely tough running gear. Long tyre life.
Bad: Small load bed on 4-door double cab. Overcome with Long Bed version from May 2009, also with more power.

Good: Cheap and mechanically reliable if looked after.
Bad: Dated looks, unremarkable drive and tight for rear legroom. Rusts and body parts hard to get these days.

Good: Well equipped, solidly put together and cheap to buy.
Bad: Cheap and cheerless fascia. Overly light steering at higher speeds. Folding down the rear seats in the estate is a heavy, cumbersome job.

Good: Ralliart is the one to go for. Rest of Lancer range competent, fine handling saloons and hatchbacks.
Bad: Apart from the Ralliart, hard to make a strong case for buying one.

The EVOs had fairly explosive performance and culminated in something called the 'FQ 400' that was almost too quick for its own good. A 400bhp four-wheel drive 2.0-litre roadgoing saloon was taking 'evolution' about as far as it could go.
