I have run one for over two years now, 1.6 petrol. Economy good, comfortable and reliable. Forty thousand miles and not a cabin rattle. I rate it highly and will replace it with another. I like the styling tweaks. It has stood the test of time, and pricing is very keen.

Older vehicle yes, but it's a mature platform and there will be very little reliability issues. Mine is a 2011 model and it's still running flawless with 300, 000+ km on it with no major mechanical issues so far

its a handsome car, always has been. Styling is a bit abrupt in this new one for the front, but will see if it grows on people. The key part of a review that is missed in this area is towing capacity. The ASX blows all of those other nippy small capacity turbo cars away. Its actually able to tow things like campervans and other stuff, unlike pretty much everything else.

It's acceptable for that price. I would buy it.

What have they done to the I much prefer the previous front. It is like, "try to make it as ugly as possible"!

The interior is disappointing but the front-end looks nice.

I was really looking forward to seeing the new 2020 ASX, but after seeing the revisions and updates, I must say I REALLY don't like it. The updated front is really busy looking. Refreshed rear looks nice. The stuck on fake side vents look like a cheap and tacky afterthought. The interior changes are so subtle I don't know why they bothered, and frankly, make the interior look cheaper, such as the silver painted climate control dials.

Love this car, but the review absolutely sucks

[superthierry]

[williamstone]

[shroomyesc]

Aaand the interior is still from 2010. Great. Why do people buy Mitsubishi again?

[keithisaacs]

Don't think he was very impressed but he done his best to sell the car Mitsubishi have fallen behind the leaders in the SUV market I'm afraid.

[noahmillar]

Actually, the ASX is the new version of the RVR.

Terrible reviewer. U cant talk about the rear seat space and just show a still side image of the car. Just pure crappy production.
