Bought my Grandis in March 2010 brand new for £20K. Absolutely love this car. My wife has a Ford S-Max and before hand I had a BMW 320d Touring and needed a bigger car for the family. The Grandis has a lot more room than the S-Max and when we all go out as a family we take the Mitsubishi. The seven seats are very useful as I have three children in child seats and if we go out with parents or in-laws the seven decent seats and boot space are a god send. Trying to get two buggies (one for twins) is very difficult with the seven seats up, but still achievable after a little while jiggling.
A great car, and it is a shame that they are no longer making them because I would definitely think about getting another one.
After test driving 5 other simlar cars including the Smax the choice was very simple. Build quality styling & dealers 1st class. Just bought my second Grandis elegance . Service pack very good value .Both this car & previous Grandis have been faultless. Boot space as 5 or 7 seater excellent.
i've had several mpv's as i have 4 kids, aged from 13 to 7 + 1 on the way. this car is great and i love it! its roomy for all my growing brood while not being too big to drive. its sleek design is aerodynamiqe and looks good. i find it very economical and a pleasure to drive. the parking sensors on the back are great for ease of parking. i would throughly recommend this mpv to families large or small!
We bought our Warrior diesel to replace our petrol Grandis as the petrol one only manmaged under 20mpg.. Anyway we really like the styling and the having young children the DVD player and leather seats are a real bonus, I am averaging about 30000 miles a year and have on many occasions got 600 miles from a tank doing careful driving,
build quality we thought was much better than rival's including Fords s-max, not quite up to my previous Mercedes feel. The diesel is quite noisy,which seems to be strange as it's a VW engine, looks like lack of quality soundproofing in and around the engine bay. Performance is just fine considering the size and weight of the MPV.
So far have covered 35000 miles and not a single fault, which is great, servicing at the main dealers in expensive and too often, no problems as I do it all myself anyway.
The ride is quite firm although i like that, the tyres on the 18" wheels are expensive as they are extra load ones.
Pity cruise control and ESP are not standard on the Warrior, although I understand the new 08/09 one has these now and 17" wheels.
Bought a 1 year 1.8vvt design for £9200-so dont buy new! Comfy & handles well, cabin feels nicely screwed together but even though it 2nd top of…
