Why people love it 1. Affordable from a Japanese brand 2. Has everything you need without going over the top and increasing cost 3. Reliable and simple build 4. Not cutting edge but feels modern and stylish enough for many 5. No direct competitors (Price + Trust) Car companies for some reason think all car models need to try and be premium and pack in a heap of features a large % of people don't really want or need the extra expense of. The way car prices are going, some more simplified models would definately be welcomed by many who want a newer car without the price tag of all the tech they probably wont use anyway

I drive ASX for 11 years straight. Very reliable and agile car.

Car Reviewers only review cars based on driving it for 5 days and dont have to live with the consequences after. People want to know when they make an investment on a vehicle it lasts long enough to finish pay off for it and the vehicle still works good after that to see a return on investment. The asx is in many markets , so engine parts, suspension parts after 10 years will be easy to find.

For anybody wanting a new, very affordable, seemingly large, 18" wheeled SUV for city driving from a trusted brand, what other choice is there? That's why it sells.

It’s the reliability, stupid. People actually like buying a car that never has a problem and does what it is intended for. I couldn’t care less about what the buttons on the inside look like. Had a Lancer that lasted 17 years without one issue and the ASX is just as good.

Quality Japanese brand. Cheap servicing cost. 10 year warranty for peace of mind. Older, but proven reliable design. It's not hard to see why they are so popular. No point owning a car that has the best ride quality or the highest power if it is known to have reliability issues, and or expensive service requirements. A lot to be said for simple reliable Japanese cars.

Ive got a 2020 mitsubishi asx exceed 2 litre here in the UK 🇬🇧 ......absolutely love it ...ok the ride is a bit agricultural at times but my attitude is if it aint broke dont fix it....reliable..good on fuel and the back up here is still good ...

My experience with a Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero LTD (the full size, not sport) used here in the states was exceptional. It lasted 274,000 miles (441 Km) before any major issues. Incredibly bullet proof, easy to work on, amazing off pavement performance. If they still made them I’d buy another one today.

Great value for money from a well established car manufacturer, that is why. As long as it is practical and functional then it is ok, any bells and whistles are unnecessary, just adds to complexity and reliability. Cheers

Here in the USA I drive mostly back roads of hilly terrain and these are awesome at that and being normally aspirated port injected vehicles that take regular gas makes them ultra reliable... Easy to toss around and a great turning radius too. Easy to service and more reliable than my other cars... A winner.

It has the reliability track record of a Toyota with the warranty of a Hyundai. Excellent peace of mind. My parents both drive Outlander Sports here in the USA. A 2015 with the 2.4 and a 2019 with the 2.0. I've driven them both. The 2.0 feels plenty adequate around town. I haven't driven it on highways. The only aspect I truly dislike about this vehicle is the steering feel. It feels numb and devoid of road feel. However, it handles very well. It takes curves confidently. Ride quality can feel choppy at times but it's completely not a deal breaker. I've certainly driven choppier riding vehicles over the years.

Exactlyyy

simple answer: reliability , yes it doesn't have the most gadgets, features, and tech on the cars, I know the interior is outdated, but some people just don't really care on those things, they want cars that run and works and wont have problems every 3 months or so.

I get why they are popular. That 10-year-warranty has a lot to do with it but there is also the fact that if you want a new SUV with the same level of tech the only brands that are on-par price-wise are MG and Haval and a lot of people get nervous about those Chinese brands.

This too me just proves that most car journalists are complete & utter nobs. Who carry on about crap that the everyday buy couldn’t give a rats about.

I looked at all the other models out there in NZ, and decided on the Mitsubishi, asx, 2.4 vrx model, it suited my budget plus some other models didn't have the features I was after, unless you go a higher trim with a higher price, our CX 30, starts at 40+ grand, and Kia Seltos, didn't have a couple of features I wanted, unless it broke my budget, some cars are a lot smaller than it looks on paper and some were too expensive for my budget. so Im not a racing car driver, so this car is practical for my needs.

I have a MR and it has Adaptive Cruise Control. It does not have a Turbo so you won’t have to pay for that to be fixed or serviced and the CVT won’t wear like a Dual Clutch DCT will. So less stuff to fix or worry about!

Mitsubishi top selling car in New Zealand in 2022outselling Toyota. Buyers like what they are doing with great reliability and the styling. What they don't like is is being fostered off with new technology that does not live up to theory ie VW and Ford transmissions that fail and in some cases refuse to repair under warranty and not forgetting dieselgate. No wonder Mitsubishi prospered.

My wife young mum with two little kids, dog and very average driving skills :) asx is just perfect everyday car to trash with 7 years warranty. Looks ok, drives ok. Nothing exciting but it works and reliable.

We purchased the Exceed in this colour. Value for money and reliability / warranty was major considerations. I think Aussies take these features over most things. Yes it wasn't designed for a race track but it is good enough for Australia. Unlike others, we have had many Mitsubishis over the years and all reliable - probably because we looked after them. As far as comparing others, I don't know if the reviewer has sat in a CHR for example. I did and I just banged my head to get in and out of the rear seat. I think if Mitsubishi kept selling this car for another 10 years it would sell, all the tech inside isn't that important unless you are a terrible driver. I noticed the CHR top of the line petrol model is about $5,500 dearer than the top of the line Exceed which is an extra $21 per week over 5 years (people keep their cars on average for 5 years). The fuel savings will not even cover the extra price and as a bonus you don't get to bang your head...To summarise I looked at all the SUV's out there and the Exceed and ASX was the best value for money car around. Other Aussies agree obviously. Made in Japan is a clue too. I wanted to add one point. The 2 litre motor is more than OK as it is the same as the Lancer we owned for 8 years and it had enough power. I criticised some family recently for knocking a ASX rental car for lack of power. I informed them they add the pathetic ethanol petrol (and yes the family used that as well in the top ups) so I told them that petrol costs you more than you save. Only use the premium fuels and I'm certain you'll get better economy and power. I proved how useless this petrol was years ago when I tried it in my Valiant Charger. The car took ages to start which means the fuel doesn't fire as well plus I also tried it in a Mitsubishi 380 I owned a few years ago. I couldn't believe the power drop, hence I will never use that type of petrol ever again. There is my tip of the day for drivers, don't use ethanol as you'll getter better economy and more power. I suspect the savings in not having your fuel injectors clog up will be just one of the bonuses.

@@mattybonjovi It is a simple answer to the no power thing. Lots of people try out the car as a rental. Family members proved what I am about to say. The cheapest petrol with ethanol is put into rental cars, and having that petrol is like halving it's power. I will never ever use ethanol petrol again due to the power drop is massive and any savings at the pump is lost by the extra fuel consumption because you have to push the pedal more to get the same speed.

All the alternatives mentioned feel smaller on the inside. I tried them before buying my ASX.

Yes, these reviewers would drive lexus and bmw's so ofcourse they dont quite like the driving dynamics of a car half the price. A japanese reliable brabd,sturdy body quality unlike the kia's and hyundai was good enough for me of family of 4 to go for ASX LS.

I have a 2020 GSR one of the biggest annoyances is the brittle paint that attracts scratches and chips like crazy and they are not easily repairable. Ive had many cars but no issues. My dad has same colour in 2018 ES and no issue. Overall car great zippy and does the job and looks good. I like the LED lighting and LED reverse lights are a standout. I upgraded all interiors to LED and No Plates too looks so cool. Also one of the best wipers ive ever had. Rear seats are bit cramped. Upholstery is great beautiful seats and hard wearing. Good review.

I shopped around and the ASX LS seemed to be great value. I ordered one in April and it was meant to arrive in late November but it’s now arriving at the end of September so it had a shorter wait time than the RAV 4 which was out of my budget. I know it doesn’t have some of the latest features but considering my last car was quite old I’m not used to a power tailgate or a wireless recharger so it’s not going to be a downgrade for me, the whole car is a huge upgrade. I wanted to mention there was a $7k price difference between 2 different Mitsubishi dealerships in the same city for the identical model and colour.

Nice review. Re some alternatives, The CHR seems claustrophobic to me, especially in the back, and I am not partial to direct injection Korean vehicles and dual clutch transmissions. I also find ASX steering excellent but have not driven the competitors.

Customers are buying the assurance the car won’t fall apart and they won’t get taken for a ride in servicing costs. Hard for any Euro to match that.

Bought my kid a new Lancer in 2018 ( run out 2017 model ). She hasn't hicupped ever, and still now in 2024. Absolutely stress free. However I've done the Ford PowerShift and now the Ecoboom. I'm looking at an ASX simply for the 10 warranty and reliability of a JDM. Those who have been through car dramas just want that peace of mind over all the fancy stuff.

These are decent city runabouts with ok size, reasonably priced, solid warranty and often available in stock at the local dealer

I own a 2010 Outlander and yes the interior components are nearly identical for the most part, slightly shinier is all.

Been driving a 10+ y.o. ASX, 1.6 petrol, it is a low millage car, but still quite impressive built quality, and of course 0 issues (my uncle was 1st owner, so I know the maintenance history). There might be others who also appreciate the simplicity inside, when it comes to controls, for me less is more. Here in Europe I wouldn't consider it "small" SUV, despite being 195cm and well over 100kg, I have no problem fitting grown people in the back too. I do agree car feels underpowered, although the journalist was referring to 2.0 engine. I also drive KIA Soul from the same period with same 1.6 petrol engine, and it is much more lively but at the expense of higher consumption, Kia-10l/city vs ASX 7.5l. ASX feels much more convincing in built quality, but it did cost 50% more back in a day 20k EUR vs 13k. Now those numbers seem unattainable.

My sister in law also, several workmates. Not everyone enjoys driving, for most it's a chore. Same for most things, some of us enjoy cooking, some will eat McDonald's.

In the states the only reason the press do not like this vehicle is because it is an old platform. Anything over 4 years old is disrespected. The two I've driven were a great drive and a reasonable price.

I'd also choose this over the Skoda, that Ford Puma(I don't want a Fix-Or-Repair-Daily vehicle lol) or the cramped CH-R. People love this simply because it gives you more value and versatility many would simply want and look for in a subcompact crossover which is proven and tested to be reliable and dependable that can easy screw your more "modern and advanced" picks. I'd get the 4B11 unit instead tho since it tends to be a bit more economical and can still git more or less 15km/L.

Mitsubishi ❤️ reliable engines and good looks.

How does not having a digital speedometer a problem because of speed cameras🤔?

That door lock switch is the same from my 16 year old Mitsubishi 380…

The lancer towards the end of its life only had the 4B11 not the 4B12, the previous Outlander used the 4B12 that is In The ASX GSR. You also have to keep in mind that when the ASX was released they were only pitching it as a “value” vehicle. Now with newer models of Mitsubishi they are getting more premium. And to be honest not much goes wrong with these, ABS pumps are about the only major issue and that isn’t till later in their life.

Why should "interior" be kept up to date... Are there constant technological advancements in car interior? Mitsubishis are very reliable and no-nonsense vehicles. I hope that CVT is not from Jatco

I'm thinking of getting one here in the US. The dealer will be changing that CVT fluid every 30k. I hate those f*****g transmissions. However, the 2.0 and 2.4 are rock solid. Been around quite some time.

Those are some cool paddle shifters.

Inside is smaller than I thought. Simple, nothing fancy nothing exciting. Outlook is good smart. Something in details makes difference that better than the other choices in the same period. Love it. e. g. A look- hidden exhaust host. Not easy to see it, looks modern, nothing easy get into it. High Contrast left right signal (orange colour frashing lights with black colour bases), i thought can be seen more easier & far.

I like the soccer balls measurement for the boot .43 seems big enough😆👌

It's affordable and pretty much reliable. A lot of older people get it for those reasons and they're on a budget. The tech is not something that really interests them. Got to say I don't give a rats about tech either

Only recently hired an ES version in Alice Springs and the major complaint I had was that the steering felt that it was connected to the front wheels via a rubber band, especially at 130Km.

It’s so funny to me when I hear reviewers say how “unfortunate” it is when things are manual and not digital or motorised. A manual lever for a seat won’t be as expensive to replace as motor parts, likewise a digital screen will cost waaaay more to replace if something goes wrong with it. So nice to see a car that still has these features and if you’re like me and hate that everything is just a giant iPhone in a car then I can imagine you probably love the tactile experience of a car with actual buttons and manual parts mixed in with a good amount of modern features but not overdone.

If considering this, I’d suggest looking at the updated Eclipse Cross. Much better in all aspects.

Very comfy and practical car. Unrivalled value for money when you take into account the Japanese reliability.

it's obviously because it looks better than most other options for the price

Wife and I test drove an asx 2022 modal as a family car. We both agree that it was way too small for what we wanted and found the interior in our opinion to be very basic compared to a 2020 Subaru Xv base modal that we also test drove the same day. We ended up getting a Subaru XV-L 2022 modal for the same price as the used 2020 XV modal. Always good to test drive a car and estimate where you passenger seat will sit for rear facing baby seats if your plan is to start a family.

I tried for two weeks to find my ideal driving position and gave up, swapped for another fleet vehicle at work.

i dont know man, mitsu mirage CVT is not the first matic i drove, but it was what convinced me to never buy manual again. now i drove crv, and i still like driving the mirage more. idk. maybe i just sucked.

I had a 2011 model with 1.8 turbo diesel and 6 speed was very happy with fuel consumption but the ride over long distance was ordinary. Now own a Hyundai Tucson 1.6 turbo petrol the fuel consumption not as good as ASX but leaves the ASX for dead in comfort.

bought as my first car for 18k eur 2019 yo model. I really like it tbh. Only fuel economy could be better, but its great car nevertheless

They don’t drive that great, look old. But to own one is great. Cheap and reliable.

Spot on analysis, Tom. The driving dynamics, outdated interior, the cvt transmission are a major let down. The reason for its popularity is the price tag, 10 warranty and in this day and age with increasing interest rates few new car buyers have a budget exceeding $50,000 for a new car and believe me, people do shop around to get a better value for their. Mitsubishi not on my list of preferred cars any more as I find the cvt transmission and road noise a deal breaker when it comes to road handling.

It’s the motoring equivalent to watching a B grade film. It’s so bad it’s kinda fun.

I hired one in April 2022. It drove terribly, was gutless and noisy and crapped itself and had to be towed home. What a shitbox. What has it being on sale for 12 years got to do with it being dependable? The original Range Rover was on sale for nearly 20 years.

Nope I drove my mates ASX he loved it. But as someone who actually has driven a fair lot of cars it is not a great car. It's an ok car. It handles horribly and it's acceleration is weird as

Why did you shave your beard? 🤣That will take a moment to get used to.

More facelifts than Joan Rivers

GREAT PITY MITS DOESNT BRING IN THE BEAUTIFUL XFORCE (WITH A TURBO) THEY WOULD START SELLING A LOT OF CARS AGAIN AS NO ONE WILL BUY THIS OLD CAR

Reviewers dont like it because its no full of gimmicky bullshit, and because its simple anyone can work on it and easy to mantain instead of the dealership and manfacturers locking down overpriced oil changes or replacement parts

It’s a crap car in North America. Mitsushitty dealerships sell more non mitsushitty cars than their own cars. Mitsushitty has bad customer service problems and they look for loopholes in their warranty to not do any work. Glad they are failing.

Wow. This has got to be the most rushed, irritable, condescending, snobbish and passive aggressive car reviews I have seen from Chasing Cars. Next time Tom should just get one of his underling minions from the Chasing Car office to do such a review who would show a little more enthusiasm.
