Advantages: Price, economy, driving position
Disadvantages: service costs, dated looks

...I had never heard of a Mitsubishi Space Star until I went looking for a Honda Civic (does that make sense?) You see my local Honda dealer (J.T Hughes in Telford) is next door to a Mitsubishi dealer (J.T Hughes in Telford). I wanted a diesel and Honda have only just started taking diesels seriously, so the Civic offerings at that time only had the Isuzu 1.7 engine, and the economy was not listed at being that good. I Looked around at all the used cars for sale and saw lots of Space Stars, and they were all very reasonably priced compared to what Honda were offering. I could have a one year old Space Star diesel for the price of a three year old civic. So I went away and did some homework on the Space Star and booked myself a test drive. As many of you may already know the Space Star is a Mitsubishi by badge only, they are actually... Read review

Advantages: Probably the best of all the Star Trek series'
Disadvantages: It's over now

...Deep Space 9 (or DS9 for short) was, in my humble opinion, the best Star Trek series of all. The usual Star Trek mix of dramatic episodes and humorous episodes were there, but DS9 just seemed to have more about it than the other series. I am a Star Trek fan and have seen every episode of every series shown in this country and I rate DS9 as my favourite. The final series was absolutely fantastic and was filled with tension and it was difficult waiting a week for each new episode. DS9 also had the best scope for storylines, being set on a space station near a wormhole to another part of the galaxy. This meant it avoided the problem that Voyager had in that new alien races could easily be introduced. They were simply discovered in the gamma quadrant. As well as new alien races, all the old favourites were also present due to the station... Read review

Advantages: Fair fuel consumption and reliability
Disadvantages: Some annoying rattles and poor ventilation

...If you want lots of technical detail and peformance figures this op is not for you. I write from the perspective of an older female driver who wants to get from A to B in safety, comfort and without breaking the bank. I downsized from a 2 litre Volvo Estate when I no longer needed it for a work horse so there were a few differences to accommodate! My Space Star is still quite powerful for its size, with a responsive 1.8 litre engine. It has delivered an average of 42mpg over its first year and has cost nothing in repairs or replacements. I do about 15,000 miles a year on some very rural roads combined with journeys of 400 miles or so. It carries a three year warrenty, and servicing costs are much less than I had become used to. This is an easy car to drive with the facility to adjust sitting position and steering column... Read review
