Compact crossovers have long won a leading position in world markets as a separate class of cars. Every self-respecting manufacturer produces such models. The well-known Mitsubishi brand is no exception. Their crossover came out under the name ASX.
With the release of the model, sales picked up momentum. And this is not surprising. After all, according to statistics When choosing a vehicle, 30% of buyers evaluate its design first. And on this point, the manufacturer tried especially hard.
Two years after the release of the first version, the updated ASX appeared. This aggressive car attracts many buyers. The modified version looks more toned, dynamic and technologically advanced. Car sales have grown significantly. Attractive appearance, reasonable price with convenience and quality conquer many buyers. The creation of the Mitsubishi ASX should prove to be a turning point for the company. This is a new version of crossovers that should completely change the way classic cars, pickups and SUVs are viewed. Such crossovers are becoming more and more popular every year. After all, the whole family can comfortably stay in his salon. The luggage compartment can easily accommodate Sunday shopping. Well, 100 percent parking is achieved thanks to the convenient ground clearance and the compact size of the vehicle itself.
Owner reviews
Feedback from Michael, Mitsubishi ASX, Peter
I have been using this car for three years. And I don't feel particularly happy about this. For three years, most of the time I drove on a dirt road, I drove very little around the city. He started up the car even on long trips, drove his family to the sea and back. About Mitsubishi ASX, many reviews of owners in shortcomings always claim that poor sound insulation. With this, perhaps, I agree. The motor of the car is of course very reliable. However, at revolutions of more than two and a half thousand, you have to turn on the radio and speak in a full voice so that passengers can hear. The Mitsubishi ASX is ideal for light off-road and asphalt applications. But dynamic driving in ACH is not for those who have good hearing and a sense of beauty. And if in the summer, even on light off-road, the handling is excellent, then in the winter everything is very bad. It was in the winter that this vehicle showed itself in all its glory. The first gear is short, you immediately have to switch to the second with a slight re-gasification so that the car runs vnatyag. Sometimes it’s even scary to drive on the road. Even the smallest snow drifts tear the car down and pull it to the side of the road. I can say for sure that this unit is not for beginners.
Once he even tried to turn around in a narrow area covered with snow about 5 centimeters high in winter. I felt like an excellent driver and seemed to know the car well. But only it seemed. Still, I got one, albeit not a big dent on the "priest". It is problematic to leave in the yard and even more difficult to drive up a small hill. But he simply polishes great. In general, those who want to test the endurance of their nervous system and practice driving skills can safely buy the Mitsubishi ASX. I don't even want to talk about winter trips to nature. Terribly worn out during this time. Finally sold.

I bought a car, one might say by accident. I urgently needed a vehicle, so I didn't even hope for something good for that kind of money. In appearance, of course, I like it very much. Aggressive and sporty body lines, headlights and more. However, according to the owners' reviews, I read the minuses about the Mitsubishi ASX only after the purchase. And only after two years of operation I realized that I completely agree with most of them. The only good news is that the car has a low gas mileage, just what I needed. However, everything else is a bit tight. For example, a vehicle accelerates very slowly on a fast lane. Sometimes you even have to follow the truck. Very annoying, especially when I'm in a hurry. Very small trunk. I often go to nature, dacha, barbecue. So, very few things fit in the trunk. It is necessary to fold the rest in the back seat. And it's good if there are no passengers. I weigh 90 kilograms and in two years I saw that the driver's seat was squeezed. All savings on low gas mileage are more than offset by expensive components. This is my fourth car and during this time I have not yet spent so much money on maintenance.
It skids terribly on a slippery track. No winter tires save you, although I approach its choice with great responsibility. Therefore, in winter I do not drive a child in a car at all. And yet, the brakes are constantly creaking. Although, probably, this problem is only with my car. The second maintenance was carried out, but the brakes cannot be fixed. In general, if I had chosen at that time, I would naturally have chosen a better brand and model.

After reading a lot of owner reviews about the Mitsubishi ASX, I was very surprised that there are more advantages than disadvantages. To be honest, when I took a new car in the cabin, I was completely sure that there would be no serious problems with it for about a couple of years. But the Mitsubishi ASX showed its shortcomings six months later. The car was parked in a garage outside the city. There was a small blizzard, the motor failed, the wipers did not work. On the road on a busy highway, a non-freeze froze. As a result, I found myself on a high road in winter with such a ridiculous malfunction. In addition, everything under the hood was covered with snow. I was just shocked. I called the dealers to consult, in the end they do not know anything and no one except me opens the hood. The wipers were repaired, but now they only work every other time, as if by mood. Officials replaced them for free.
I also ran into the "engine" icon on the control panel. The dealers have corrected the problem. As soon as we left them, the signal came on again. I came back, carried out diagnostics, and so on all the time. They have already begun to recognize my Mitsubishi ASX from afar. It is also annoying that the side mirrors and the rearview mirror distort the picture.
Of the advantages, I can only note a good power steering, the steering wheel is light and obedient. The driver has a high seating position, a very comfortable seat, and the back does not get tired during long trips.
Review of Nikolay, Mitsubishi ASX, Perm
Mitsubishi ASX is very unreliable. With the reviews of the owners about all the shortcomings and disadvantages of Mitsubishi ASX, I completely agree. I had a lot of choice. But at that time I was more attracted by the muscular appearance and clearance of 19 centimeters. Another Mitsubishi company specializes in the production of SUVs. At that time, such arguments seemed to me strong, and here I am. Extraneous noise from the side of the power unit appeared after 3000 km. Came to the service. There, under warranty, the generator was changed. Now stands the old model with a bypass clutch. It turns out that the Japanese make it with a direct drive to save money. Therefore, the belt slips and causes various noise and vibration. A strange noise is now heard, which at first manifested itself as a strong crackling when you press the gas pedal while driving. At first, this sound was like the sound of valves. Over time, this sound intensified. And knocks like a bucket of nails. But now, not only when you press the gas pedal in motion, but also when starting the movement at the start, and sometimes even while driving. We cannot determine the patterns of the appearance of noise in any way. I was already exhausted. I practically do not go on it. Only to the service station and back. True, they treat my problem with understanding and fuss, trying to find the cause of the problem. This is perhaps the only merit in buying this bucket. During long examinations, it was revealed that gasoline does not in any way affect the eerie sounds, the candles are all normal. Diagnostics of the power unit does not show anything even with knocks. I doubt very much that Mitsubishi representatives will confirm their advertising slogan “reliable”. I have been suffering with this problem for a very long time. These knocks were so annoying that I’m driving a different car now. This is so ... we fix it on the sly.
Review of Maxim, Mitsubishi ASX
The Mitsubishi ASX is not only not reliable, but also uncomfortable. Many times I regretted my purchase. The only thing that attracts many buyers is the appearance of Mitsubishi cars. Also, the price for some models, including asx, is acceptable for many. But don't be fooled, you won't find a good car for a low price. And her ground clearance is really comfortable. When parking, if necessary, I can drive onto the curb. But this is the only merit. Better save up and buy a more decent and reliable vehicle.
The car is very clumsy. The manufacturer promised that the Mitsubishi ASX is perfect for urban environments. But this is far from the case. Very poor finish. Small scratches and scuffs are already everywhere. It is unpleasant and uncomfortable to drive in such a cabin. Terrible seats. Sometimes it looks like a plastic net under the fabric. I just want to cut it open and see what has been pushed into this model. The thresholds are very scratched. Solaris is much better in this regard. I sit in it very carefully, so again, it's uncomfortable.
Unreasonably expensive components. I would like to highlight this point separately. It seems to be new, but after a short time they fail. For example, a black frame on a radiator grill costs twelve thousand. That's what I gave that kind of money for !?
For the front passenger, blown glass blows into the eyes. And this is no matter how tall the passenger is. Well, as if there is no trunk at all. Well, that's unthinkable. How can such a big car have such a small trunk? Nothing fits there at all. From the metal tongue of the belt, the pillars of the body were cut. Notches have formed on the plastic in the place where the front seat belts are installed. When you pick up speed in the cabin, the variator roars very strongly. And in general, there is no sound insulation in the car. As if, when creating the Mitsubishi ASX, the manufacturer simply crossed out noise insulation from the list of important comfort points. Surprised that at such a price the door trim is like a Lada. Weak power unit. There is no additional option such as daylight for the rear seats. Although if there were not so many shortcomings, then I probably would not have remembered for the lighting.
Every time I am convinced that Mitsubishi ASX should be cheaper. And the more people buy it, the more negative reviews I see on the site later.
I took this car for my wife, but it happens that I often ride it myself. to date, we have already dashed off 27 t.km. Auto in the maximum configuration: leather interior, by the way, the leather is of high quality, I like it, cruise control, light-rain sensor, wireless connection, electric seat adjustment, lots of pillows, abs, esp, rear-view camera in the mirror, self-dimming mirror , front-wheel drive. I didn't take the four-wheel drive, honestly - I regretted the money, now it's a pity that I didn't take it :) For its engine, the car turned out to be frisky, especially at the beginning at the bottom, which is important at the start. The box works smoothly and, with adequate driving, does not allow the engine to spin up above 1.5-2 thousand revolutions, which affects + on fuel economy. On average, the consumption of a computer turns out to be 9-10 l / 100 km. in the combined cycle somewhere 60 to 40 city / highway. The salon is cozy, everything is at hand, the big buttons for climate control please, especially the button for closing the "curtain", you won't miss. A large glove compartment + a holder for a pen and business cards in it - a trifle, but nice. The doors open / close very easily, at first it was even unusual, then into a thrill. (Do not think that I compare with a penny, I ride on an outlander 3 myself) The computer is informative and fits well into the dashboard. I especially like the wireless connection, it is very convenient, if there is an opportunity, be sure to take this function, you will set it up once and beauty. There is enough space for passengers in the second row, with my height of 175 cm. A healthy man can follow me without any problems. Cool access to the trunk was made directly from the interior of the car through the folding armrest of the rear seats. I myself have never used this function, but I liked the idea. The trunk seemed too small, but so far we have not experienced any problems with this, even when traveling to the country. Of course, when moving, the trunk will not be enough, but the car was not taken for this either. :) Holds the road very well, it bites straight into the asphalt, both in the city and on the highway. Excellent brakes for 5+, stands rooted to the spot. The ride is very similar to the Lancer x, only you sit a little higher. There is enough power on the track when overtaking, especially when you click the gear yourself. I thought about taking 2.0, but it seems like 1.8 is enough. To be honest, it was not easy in the city in this heavy snowfall in winter, but I never got stuck tightly. Then I regretted that I had not taken four-wheel drive. In general, a good car for your money. There are no such obvious shortcomings that would infuriate all the time and spoil the mood. There are small "kosyachki", but personally, my nitpicks about the car: - well, make a Mitsubishi corporation, finally, the washer reservoir sensor, the car is almost behind the lam, but it's not there - it's a shame :) - the auto-light function is made so that when the light is turned on, it goes first " auto ", then the size, then the close one. I would put "auto" at the end, not at the beginning. at night, to turn on just the near one you have to bypass the "auto" and the headlights first turn on (when the flag is on the car) then turn off (the flag on the dimensions) then on again (the flag on the low beam). Of course, all this happens in a split second, but I think it will negatively affect the light bulbs. Well, if you ride a "car" then it's not scary. It's just that I'm always afraid that the headlights will go out when the road is lit in the city and it's calmer for me when it's just on without any electronics :) - the button for heating the passenger's seat went out, they promised to change it under warranty for TO-3; - in severe frost, in the first 7-15 minutes of driving, when hitting a recumbent, the rear suspension creaked, but then, having developed, it ceased. This is not the case in warm weather. - Shumkov wheels could be done better, like on the Lancer x. Maybe, of course, it depends on the tires, but I don't seem to have bad ones - yakohoma. - the fan works noisily starting from the middle of the power; - it is not clear why the loudness range is made from 1 to 15-17. you can not hear the radio even while standing still at 3, at 8 and 10, and between themselves they are not very different. adequate volume starts from 18 to 22-25. It was necessary to make a "start" at 1 from about 15, step 2 could be set immediately to 18 and so on. - small armrest. although if he moved forward by 1/2, then just right. - the glass of the fog lights broke with a stone. We changed the insurance without any problems. But I thought that it would be better if they were a little higher. Well, probably that's all. Looking at the review, I thought that there was nothing to write, but how many it turned out :) I wrote the pros straight away, but I had to sit and recall the shortcomings. and that turned out to be really more "nit-picking" than specific jambs. I think that the car is, in principle, good, comfortable, not expensive in the service staff, will not let you down. I don’t think that its competitors (Volkswagen Tiguan, Audi Q3, BMW x1 (maybe there are others and maybe I’m mistaken about the x1, but this is my purely personal opinion)) in some way will be inferior to the ASH in terms of comfort, reliability, driving qualities .. .bmv is of course more expensive in price and audi too, but tiguan does not seem to be very different, almost the same. Our choice fell on ASH on the principle "I liked it, I want it all" and we were not disappointed in our decision, my wife is generally delighted with the car. Good road everyone !!!
Mitsubishi ASX is a compact urban crossover built on a shortened Mitsubishi Outlander platform. At home in Japan, the ASX went on sale in February 2010 under the Mitsubishi RVR name. In March 2010, the European version of the compact crossover was presented at the Geneva Motor Show, and in April - the North American version, under the name Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. ASX sales in Europe began in June 2010. In the fall of 2012, the ACH has undergone a slight restyling.
Engines
There are three gasoline engines in the arsenal of Mitsubishi ASX: 1.6 liters with 117 hp, 1.8 liters - 140 hp. and 2.0 l - 150 hp. All power units have a timing chain drive. European versions can be equipped with a 1.8 liter - 150 hp diesel engine.
Owners of Mitsubishi ASX with a base 1.6 liter engine from time to time note starting problems: the engine starts from the second or third time. Since the problem is not a systemic one, it has not yet been possible to identify the cause.
But the detonation that occurs at speeds close to 3000 rpm is a more common phenomenon for a 1.6 liter engine. This "phenomenon" is presumably associated with a high compression ratio of 11.0: 1 and depletion of the mixture in certain modes. It is well known that detonation has a detrimental effect on the "health" of the motor. But specimens that have driven more than 50-100 thousand km demonstrate the absence of any unpleasant consequences. Some owners have noted a connection between the appearance of detonation and a change in the place of refueling. Some authorized service centers offer new firmware for the engine ECU, but even after the update, the knock does not always disappear. From the words of "officials" - the factory firmware was changed on the 2012 model year ASX, which excludes the occurrence of detonation. But individual owners still celebrate its appearance.
In severe frosts, below 30 degrees, on crossovers with a 1.6 liter engine, there were cases of oil squeezing out through the dipstick and oil seals due to freezing of the crankcase ventilation pipe. At the end of 2011, a Mitsubishi technical bulletin was published, prescribing the replacement of the old-style branch pipe with a modified one with a large internal diameter. The new branch pipe has been installed on the conveyor since 2012.
Specific features appeared on the restyled version of the Mitsubishi ASX with a 1.8 liter engine. The motor received a different layout for the accessory drive belt with fewer rollers and a shortened belt. As a result, at speeds close to 1000-1200 rpm, extraneous sounds resembling rattling appear. When contacting authorized services, mechanics often mistakenly assume that this resonates the crankcase protection. But in reality, the source of the sound is the vibrating belt tensioner. Some "kulibins" got rid of extraneous noise by independently changing the belt routing scheme. The "native" belt is not suitable for these purposes: a new one had to be selected.
The 2.0 liter power unit did not receive any claims from the owners.
Transmission
Mitsubishi ASX with a 1.6 liter engine was equipped with only a 5-speed manual gearbox. There were no problems with the box. Several owners took advantage of the warranty due to a whistling release bearing.
The rest of the motors were aggregated exclusively with the JATCO stepless variator. Most owners are concerned about the reliability of the box, and meticulously react to the slightest deviation from the usual norm. In particular, small tremors are noted when speeding up at speeds of about 2000 rpm or passing the mark of 30-40 km / h. But this is the normal operation of the variator - the torque converter lockup is activated. There were no complaints about the appearance of the trolleybus hum. However, not without serious incidents: several cases of box failure and vehicle immobilization were recorded. During the initial inspection, shavings were found in the oil, and the official services did not disclose the final verdict. But it is worth noting that there are only a few such cases. The experience of operating these CVTs on the older brother Outlander XL shows that there are no massive problems with CVTs.
Undercarriage
The first Mitsubishi ASX received a loose rear suspension: swinging appeared on irregularities, which in turns led to a sharp departure from the trajectory. The dangerous behavior of the crossover is well "tasted" by drivers who prefer an active driving style. Later, on 2012 model year vehicles, the chassis settings were changed and the problem was resolved.
The category of "consumables" in the ACX suspension includes stabilizer bushings with a resource of more than 35-40 thousand km (from 200 to 400 rubles for the original bushing). The front shock absorbers do not lag behind, which often begin to leak or knock after 40-60 thousand km. The cost of a new depreciation strut is about 6-7 thousand rubles.
Other problems and malfunctions
The body paintwork is not resistant to external influences: chips and scratches soon appear. Occasionally there are complaints about the appearance of bulges on the surface of the side doors and rear arches. Condensation is often observed in fog lamps and taillights. Fog glasses often burst from a sharp temperature drop. For example, after the ingress of snow or cold water from puddles. Often the PTF linings and the lantern itself become the prey of "auto-makers".
Plas interior teak often becomes a breeding ground for "crickets", especially in cold weather. With the arrival of frost, “drops” from the ceiling light are often observed in the cabin. This is a common phenomenon in modern cars - condensation forms on the inner surface of the roof. The "anomaly" is eliminated by gluing the inner surface of the roof with heat and noise insulation material.
Over time, the leather upholstery of the manual transmission shift lever and steering wheel is wiped off. In the service book, Mitsubishi prudently noted that normal wear and tear of these items is not a warranty case.
Owners of ASX equipped with electric seats, after 10 thousand km, often notice the appearance of longitudinal backlash, which is noticeable during acceleration and braking.
There were no systematic problems with the air conditioner and the electrical system.
Conclusion
The full picture of the reliability of the Mitsubishi ASX has yet to be formed, but a good start. It is a pity that the rear suspension of crossovers assembled before 2012 was not refined. It wouldn't hurt to do something about the front shock absorbers as well.
Good afternoon. In today's article, typical weaknesses of Mitsubishi ASH and problems during operation are considered. Traditionally for our site, the article is supplemented with excellent photo and video materials.
The competition among compact crossovers is fierce right now. Almost every car manufacturer considers it its duty to offer buyers a compact light off-road conqueror. Mitsubishi was no exception, which in 2010 introduced the Mitsubishi ASX crossover to the European market. And among the competitors, the Japanese "SUV" is not lost. A year later, on the streets of our cities, ASX began to come across with enviable regularity, and now the compact crossover is quite common on the used car market. And there he is also not deprived of attention from potential buyers. But will operating a used Mitsubishi ASX be joyful and serene?
The body is the weak point of the Mitsubishi ASH.
The paintwork of almost all modern cars is a favorite subject of criticism from motorists. The Japanese crossover was no exception. After a couple of years of operation, a fairly large number of small chips and scratches appear on the body of the Mitsubishi ASX. The Japanese crossover has not spared another problem of modern cars - the appearance of condensation in the taillights and foglights. But if you can still put up with this, then it is much more difficult to put up with the bursting glasses of fog lamps. Keeping them safe and sound, however, is not so difficult. To do this, you must try not to expose the delicate glass foglights to sudden changes in temperature. So forcing deep puddles at full speed on the Mitsubishi ASX is better not to get carried away.
The salon is cheap and cheerful.
The interior plastics in the ASX are not too expensive, so it’s not surprising that over time it starts to creak a little. Most crossover owners get used to the creak and simply stop paying attention to it. But getting used to the drops from the ceiling lamp will not work. The problem will have to be solved. Condensation that forms between the roof and its upholstery can be eliminated by gluing the inner surface of the roof with special heat-insulating materials. It will not be very expensive, but you will have to tinker.
Range of engines - which is better to choose?
For the Mitsubishi ASX sold on our market, three gasoline engines were offered, each of which has a timing chain drive. At the moment, the owners of the Japanese crossover have the least complaints about the most powerful two-liter engine with a capacity of 150 horsepower. With timely service, it will not remind of itself at all. 
But the weakest engine, which develops 117 horsepower with a volume of 1.6 liters, can cause minor problems from time to time. Some Mitsubishi ASX owners with this power unit have already complained that they are not always able to start the car the first time. But since over the years of production of the crossover the problem has not become a systemic one, the Japanese have not yet thought about solving it. But with detonation, which sometimes occurs at medium speed on cars with a 1.6-liter engine, dealers and Mitsubishi itself tried to fight. They released a new firmware for the engine ECU, which partially solved the problem. Although individual owners still note that sometimes the detonation appears again.
There are fewer complaints about the 140-horsepower 1.8-liter gasoline engine. Only on restyled versions of the crossover, and they began to be produced in 2012, this power unit sometimes frightened the owners of the Japanese crossover with the appearance of extraneous rattling sounds. And if at first the official dealers blamed the resonating crankcase protection for everything, then it turned out that the source of extraneous sounds was the vibrating tensioner of the drive belt.
Transmission problems.
A very reliable manual transmission is relatively rare on the Mitsubishi ASX. Most of the cars that have already proven themselves well on the older Outlander model. Only isolated cases of premature failure of the variator are known. And in this case, we can say with confidence that the blame for this lies entirely with the owners of the ill-fated cars.
Suspension is another weak point.
So if the Mitsubishi ASX has a weak point, then its suspension is definitely one. Not only was it not tuned in the best way on pre-styling crossovers (on cars that were released after 2012, the settings were changed for the better), but also from the point of view of reliability, it is far from ideal. The stabilizer bushings on the Mitsubishi ASX can withstand only 35-40 thousand kilometers, after another 10-15 thousand kilometers, the crossover can upset with leaking front shock absorbers. The rest of the "consumables" can withstand more. And their cost is quite acceptable, so the suspension of the "Japanese" will not require any special costs.
Conclusion.
The owners of Mitsubishi ASX are certainly not insured from minor troubles, but the Japanese crossover will not deliver big troubles. In terms of reliability, it looks much more preferable than most of its competitors. No wonder even used Mitsubishi ASX find their new owners quickly enough.
That's all for me today, if you want to supplement an article about the weaknesses of the Mitsubishi ASH - write comments.

Mitsubishi ASX can be seen as the "anti-Qashqai". Stylish outside and inside, spacious, with a large trunk and for reasonable money: all the data of the popular "SUV" is available. But the ground clearance is very small, and if the multi-plate clutch distributes the torque between the axles, it’s more likely to help the driver on slippery asphalt, and not for off-road assault.
The body as a whole is assembled more neatly than that of the Qashqai, but there is still something to pay attention to. For example, the parts of the tailgate that are hidden from view are not painted with colorless varnish. Little has been done to improve aerodynamics and protect the body from the abrasive effects of sand and gravel.
The interior trim is the same as that of the main rival, that is, the same "Japanese" Qashqai, and the build quality is similar.
This crossover is distinguished by the innovative technology incorporated in the design of the turbo-diesel: the new 1.8-liter Mitsubishi engine is equipped with a phase corrector - none of the competitors in the test has this. Therefore, despite the modest displacement, the ASX is quite capable of competing in performance with all other competitors. At the same time, his consumption is less.
The ASX is the smallest of the seven and has the shortest overhangs. Balanced dynamics, the absence of pronounced tendencies to skidding and drifting could provide it with good functional properties, say, in terms of handling on slippery roads. But the overall assessment was influenced by the work of the suspension - when you hit, for example, a sinkhole, it makes loud sounds, and the ASX itself jumps dashingly. I was also surprised by the absolutely wooden steering with a very "long" rack.
Dignity
The rear lights are good. Dimensions, LED brake lights and direction indicators are on the sidewall, and a reversing light in an original reflective frame is on the tailgate.
On the side of the engine compartment, a layer of noise-insulating material is laid on the partition, on the side of the passenger compartment - a layer of felt and microporous rubber. All holes for rods and cables are equipped with plastic covers.
Double tubular door seals, in the upper part there is protection against aerodynamic noise, in the lower part - from dirt.
The tested vehicle did not have a multifunction display in the center console. The console itself is carefully crafted, neatly cut into the soft material of the front panel. The radius of curvature is so great that if the console is installed unevenly, no one will notice.
The seats are simple in design and meticulously crafted. The rear folds down in parts, in the center of the back there is a ski hatch.
disadvantages
Only the outer side of the side members is protected from sand and gravel; there are no deflectors in front of the fuel tank. In addition, the plastic protection does not completely cover the wheel arches.
We were engaged in aerodynamics, but not very carefully: there are small wings in front of the wheels, the gap between the body and the front bumper is sealed, although not along the entire length, flow guides are present, but their length is small.
The ventilation system deflectors do not overlap, which is not very convenient. The air flow is regulated by a central control knob.
There is no protection of thresholds in the area of the doors.
The interior door handles in the armrests are sturdy but uncomfortable.
The rear shelf is rigid. If you need to remove it, there will be a problem where to put it.
A glass roof made of sliding panels is an unnecessary source of noise.
The shape and design of the side members, which are supposed to provide rigidity to the platform, are troubling: they are not solid, and there are no cross members in the tunnel area.
