Eclipse Cross 2022

45,000 miles, zero mechanical issues. Everything works as it did on day one, resale is holding up brilliantly. If you want reliable long-term ownership, look no further.

I was sceptical about a Chinese brand, but the 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross genuinely surprised me. The fit and finish is excellent, the tech is class-leading, and the value for money is extraordinary. European rivals should be worried.
