As the hatchback version of the popular Mitsubishi Attrage compact sedan, the Space Star carries on the Attrage's tradition of being an affordable and no muss, no fuss city car. The Space Star is easy to navigate through traffic, yet provides enough space and safety for a small family and more importantly, is a fuel miser. If you're in the market for a bang-for-buck compact hatchback, few cars offer as much value as the Space Star.

Just graduated? Just got your license? Just got your first 4 figure pay? Unless you are getting a used car (which I highly recommend you do) then why are we comparing or talking about other vehicles? It’S either you want the Space Star or Attrage. Prices for COE is all time high, no point of performance when the speed limit is 50km/hr, there are traffic lights every 10 seconds, parking next to your favourite restaurant is almost impossible, and you don’T want to have to sell the car for petrol money. Unless you are living in any other country than Singapore (forget driving to Malaysia, that’S never going to happen), then cash is king, not overrated Toyota or glorified Mercedes.» Read More -
Owned the 2020 version of this car. The car is cute and compact, easy to drive but steering is a little heavy. Engine noise is loud. The back suspensions cannot load 2 adults at the back as it will strike the curb when you go on the road hump. Consumption is a about 15 to 17km/l.» Read More

Went for a test drive of the vehicle and was pleasantly surprised by the space in the tiny package. This however also emphasized the spartan state of the interior. When they said it was fuss-free.. It really means it's not for the fussy.» Read More
Moving off I had the biggest revelation. Being almost agricultural, the vibrations and idol and drone from the engine makes for a very un-enthusiastic and strained start. Almost felt like I was hurting the engine trying to push it over the speed hump. Maybe a tad bit of exaggeration there but it really is quite a stark contrast with a similar vehicle that I tried earlier that day.
On the upside, 6 airbags. Which is quite the assurance needed considering the vibe from the vehicle. Think it was hard not to reconsider the vehicle especially for those on a keen budget or looking to downsize. However can't help but look over at the Attrage at the showroom floor. Awkward boot aside, it has that added space for when needed. -

Caveat-never tested this car before so I gave average for handling and engine performance.» Read More
I came upon this car during the Cars@Expo.
Before I sat into the car, I was told that this is a very spartan and basic car.
However, I was pleasantly surprised as this car was not at all spartan as it has many features that are not supposed to be found on budget cars like this. -
The design of the Space Star immediately caught my eye in the showroom. It has LED lights and looks so much better than the Attrage.» Read More
Fuel economy is incredible on this thing and it is easy to park. One of the many advantages of getting a small car over a big one.
I also love the car's strong air con. This could be due to its size but I can get into the car on a hot afternoon and cool down within minutes. Great bang for the buck. -
The Mitsubishi Space Star looks like it belongs in the 80s, it vibrates a lot, has a noisy cabin and its steering lacks feedback but there are a few things that make up for its drawbacks.» Read More
Space in the rear is phenomenal for its compact size and can easily accommodate taller adults.
It's also pretty cheap to run. Fuel economy is great thanks to its small engine.
Its sedan sibling, the Mitsubishi Attrage, has won the Compact Sedan of the Year category two years in a row, in 2015 and 2016. As the hatchback variant of the Attrage, it's no surprise that the Mitsubishi Space Star has continued the company's winning streak by bagging top honours for this year's Compact Hatchback of The Year category.
The fuel-efficient 1.2-litre Space Star has proven to win hearts and minds. Easy to drive, functional, inexpensive to buy and frugal to run, the Space Star is a no-brainer in the compact hatchback segment with its outstanding fuel economy and low running costs.
And despite its compact dimensions, the Space Star's cabin is relatively spacious thanks to its 2,450mm wheelbase. This means that while being easy to manoeuvre around town, there is enough leg and headroom in the back for three Asian adults.
Plus, its 416-litre boot is capable of swallowing all the sorts of stuff a small family would need to have in tow. Compartments strewn about the cabin also provide convenient storage for water bottles, smartphones, and other bits and bobs.
On the road, its humble 1.2-litre engine, mated to a smooth CVT transmission, is a hardworking powertrain combination that produces just enough muscle for city travel. More importantly, during our test drive, the Space Star proved to be a fuel miser, averaging 14km/L.
Ticking all the right boxes for a practical compact hatchback, you and the family can be rest assured that the Space Star deserves its title as the best in class. It's a lovable little city car that's big on doing what it does well.
