Price and equipment3.0/10

At the time of buying this car the pricing was fine(they have reduced greatly in price since),it had alot of bling for a commercial based car, but it has been badly let down by terrible build quality

Under the bonnet2.0/10

performs well enough, but very noisy and harsh,i could happily live with its short comings as it is based on the Triton commercial ute, let down badly by being in the workshop for repairs most of the time

How it drives4.0/10

i would give it another star if it didn't have a cyclic driveline vibration that greatly spoils what could be a nice drive

Comfort and practicality4.0/10

i give it 4 stars for practicality as it sure holds alot in the cargo area, and the split rear seats(6-7)are the right mix of comfort for kids and practical in being able tuck into the floor without taking up much roombut comfort is let down by the driveline vibration and poor air conditioning

Servicing and running costs1.0/10

ive had mitsubishi for 20 years and they have all been brilliant in terms of running costs and reliability, but with this challenger it is a nightmare, always in the service department for warranty issues and its 90000Km service came in at $2300

Aesthetics and styling7.0/10

this is one of the things i do like about the car, its not for everybody but i like it.

Safety and security2.0/10

this car comes with all the latest safety gear but it is very badly implemented, airbag issues have plagued this model, poorly programed TC and ESC, constant random loss of power issues, transmission locks in second gear on hot days or when towing due too the cooling system not being able to cope with australian conditions
