The Mitsubishi ASX has been around since 2010, and that's a long time in the car world without a significant facelift.

It was also one of the first mini SUVs and pretty much had the market to itself until a couple of years ago when all hell broke loose and carmakers from France, Germany, not to mention other Japanese brands, realised these cars were in serious demand.

Despite this, the ASX has held its own, with a visual freshening up last year to bring the styling into line with the rest of Mitsubishi's popular SUV line (Outlander and Pajero Sport) and take on the Mazda CX-3.

Nikki Cousins and Peter Anderson each spent a week with the ASX. Nikki wanted to know, as always, if it fits her life and style and Peter was keen to see if things have improved since the last time he drove it.

Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.
