Top to Tow....?

Whether you need to pull a caravan, a boat, a horse-box or trailer- Mitsubishi's long history of creating class-leading 4x4s ensures we will have the perfect vehicle to meet your needs.

The multi-award winning Mitsubishi L200 can handle any environment when it comes to towing, from the farm to the construction site and everywhere in between.

The legendary Shogun, with its combination of power and luxury, is the ultimate machine for country pursuits and getting off the beaten track and, capable of towing up to 3,500 kg, rivals almost all other competitors in it's class for sheer brawn. It makes light of any load.

And the Outlander and ASX are just as capable. The Outlander combines the comfort and practicality of a family vehicle (accomodating 7 people with ease) while the ASX crossover offers unmatched versatility and style and delivers pulling power significantly above what you might expect from an urban crossover.

Far from just selling these giants of the towing world, we can likely give you a few pointers if required too! Our parts department can source the majority of towing equipment you might need- from tow bars to electrics while two of our Service team- John our Service Manager and Service Advisor Hannah are- as well as being knowledgeable in the technical aspects, prolific caravan towers (if there wasn't such a word there is now!)

New to towing or a bit of a dab hand at it? Mitsubishis 'Guide to Towing' might be a worthwhile read either way: www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/towing/... Everything from picking your vehicle, loading up, driving to reversing- it's a pretty concise guide!

We'd also love to hear your towing stories... never had a towing vehicle as good as your Outlander? Has your Shogun got you out of some sticky situations?! Let us know! info@devonshire-motors.co.uk

Everton Supporters At Odds Over Cars

The battle lines have been drawn between an Everton mad couple after they bought two new cars- his in blue and whites and hers in the dreaded Liverpool red.

Derek and Anne Pulford, from Combe Martin, agree on most things but their choice of car colours has proved a source of disagreement and amusement.

Derek bought himself a Mitsubishi Colt Cz1 in white with a blue roof and wing mirrors and liked the car so much he went back to Devonshire Motors in Barnstaple to buy one for his wife.

But with only red Colts left, as the model is at the end of the line, he was forced to make a difficult decision.

Derek, a mental health support worker, said: "I was really pleased when they offered to do my white one with a blue roof and wing mirrors because then it was in the Everton colours but when we went back to get on for Anne there was only red left. As Everton fans we weren't sure but when Anne saw it, it was love at first sight.

"We haven't been up to Everton yet since we got the cars but when we do it'll have to be in the blue and white one. I don't think I could face going up in the red one".

Anne, a nurse, has hung an Everton flag in her red car to show her true colours.

She said: "It's a brilliant car and even though it's red Derek keeps trying to pinch it".

Derek, who helps out as a volunteer with youth football, added" "The service at Devonshire Motors has been second to none. The cars are beautiful to drive and great to look at".

 Jason Woolway, Sales Executive at the Mitsubishi dealership in Braunton Road, Barnstaple, said: "We had a joke with them about the colours and it's caused quite a bit of amusement but they are really pleased with their new cars.

"They're both big Everton fans so Derek wasn't sure Anne would go for a red car but she loves it".

The replacement for the Mitsubishi Colt- the Mirage- is now in the showroom and available for test drive. Offering up to 68mpg, no road tax across the range, a best-in-class turning circle (just one reason it is so comfortable and easy to drive) and a choice of a precise manual or a smooth and efficient CVT automatic, it really is a Mirage with substance.

High levels of specification are on offer including traction control and an excellent safety package, even on the base model and if it is style you are after- the Mirage will really fit the bill. Available in a rainbow of colours and with a rear spoiler, colour keyed door mirrors and handles and privacy glass standard on the Mirage 2 and upwards, it is a sporty, welcome addition to the Mitsubishi range.
