It looks like a biggest vehicle for the least dollar to me - but Mitsubishi vehicles are not the most reliable out there - the pecking order for Japanese vehicles is: Toyota, Honda, Subaru (1st tier), Madza, Nissan (2nd tier) & Mitisubshi, Suzuki (3rd tier). You are going to pay for this decision in extra weird breakdown repairs, in say, 6-8 years, not to mention the steep markdown in value.
I would've paid extra to get the Honda CR-V (3k more, but worth every dime), or a Madza 5 - the coolest minivan out there - based upon the Madza 3, which is a great (and fun) car.
And, you didn't get a SUV (which have truck frames) - or even a crossover (car comfort & design over a tough uni-frame) - you got a station wagon - big tires & shocks over a Lancer uni-frame.
Yeesh - at least be honest in your title. Maybe you should have asked the readers for their experiences before buying - it could have been a contest of sorts.
