I have towed all sorts of stuff with mine including heavy trailers from Bedford to Leeds along the M62 which is hilly. It didn't get any special treatment , was quite shouty getting up the hills at motorway speed but behaved fine. We went up in the alps with 4 bikes on a rear mounted rack too...

Never mind the battery and performance, android auto (or apple whatever) means the end of some of the crappiest bits of MMCS hopefully! :lol:

I had one for 3 or 4 days from mitsubishi Central as mine is a company car

I made sure I had found the manual page about not needing beam benders on the HID lights recently when in France in case the police stopped me for dazzling everyone.

No issues towing a heavy trailer over the M62 recently or driving family and bikes through the alps up some long, long gradients. It gets very "shouty" running like this but performance was fine. Not relaxing, sounds abusive but it is the manufacturers software making it happen so i guess i...

£340 for 25000 mile service last month

I get boot beeps when indicating left or right with a trailer, UK requirement. I find it serves to remind you that the trailer is there when changing lane if nothing else!

Definitely no tyre rotation going on.

You are right Claymore, it does sound a bit harsh. The work really was just an oil and filter swap, I do have the paper in front of me and I don't have a great deal of choice where to take it so it doesn't make sense to me to spend hours researching it. Mitsubishi dealers aren't exactly on...

My car has just had its 25k miles service and it was just short of £350. I had a ford before and so I know servicing can be good value but this sounds really quite steep for, what I imagine is, dropping the oil, computer check and fluids. Is this Mitsubishi standard pricing or not?

Some one drove into mine in a car park at Tesco yesterday. Unfortunately for him I was sat in the car at the time. What started out as me asking him why he drove into my car and him denying it escalated into him offering to knock my head off. Thug. However, once the layer of grime was wiped...

Over the last week I have been exhibiting with my employer at a tradeshow. As part of this my car was needed to haul all the contents of our show stand as well as a large trailer initially to the show site then on to a customer to deliver the trailer to its owner immediately after the show. We...

Not actually helpful, but I gave up pressing it in the end because I preferred the way it drives with it off and doesn't seem to make any difference to my range!

I would go with precisely zero chance of that happening on the existing hardware as an upgrade. Who ever designed MMCS couldn't even get the basics right let alone implementing something as complex as carplay or android auto (not everyone has an apple device!)

My mother used to throw that quote at me quite often when i was sailing
