Mitsubishi

A tough and able badge which manages to escape the cheapy image attached to some far eastern importers. Part of the reason for this is that its intriguing range of useful stuff is not actually that cheap, and part of the reason is that these cars are properly built. Oh, and then there's the Evo - legacy of a raucous rallying heyday.

  • Mitsubishi ASX

    ASX

    £15,999 - £24,399

    The ASX is one of those cars that doesn't do anything radical, but it does most things well. Job done for Mitsubishi? Reckon so.

  • Mitusbishi Colt

    Colt

    £9,249 - £14,449

    Charmingly effortless take on the city car idea. Calling it after a young horse seems a bit flawed, but they get away with. Don't expect it to grow up to be an Evo X though.

  • Mitsubishi Colt CZC

    Colt Cabriolet

    £11,349

    Don't you girls go accusing us of sexism when we say this is a car for you. Put it this way, if you saw a bloke driving one, would you think there was something a bit odd?

  • Mitsubishi Evo X

    Evo X

    Latest, and perhaps last, of the breed which started with road-fettled rally Lancers and turned into a religion. Still crazy, but maybe its time is drawing to a close.

  • Mitsubishi Grandis

    Grandis

    £20,299 - £22,499

    Only the obscurity of the badge stands between this and a place at the top table at the seven-seat MPV party. Looks great, is terrific to drive and packs a VW diesel.

  • Mitsubishi i

    i

    £9,449

    Packaged by the bloke who designed the Tardis, this is a blinding city car, with four actual doors. Bit of a shock when you open the boot though - there's an engine in it.

  • Mitsubishi Lancer

    Lancer

    £12,849 - £50,799

    Don't go thinking, 'Yeah, it's like an Evo but with cheaper tax'. That's like thinking, 'A Walkman? That's like the iPhone with better battery life, innit?'. It isn't.

  • Mitsubishi Outlander

    Outlander

    £22,499 - £30,199

    Mitsubishi's own version of the Citroen C-Crosser and Peugeot 2007 (both of which it also builds).So an SUV that's really just a chunky estate. A good on-roader, then.

  • Mitsubishi Shogun

    Shogun

    £27,199 - £39,999

    Nostalgia-infused throwback to the days when warriors in Samurai films didn't float through the air in slow motion but just got on with it. Discovery whups its ass.
