<p>The RVR is descended from the Mitsubishi Expo, which began life in Canada as the Dodge and Plymouth Colt Vista. The compacts in the Chrysler lineup went away with the creation of the Neon coupe and sedan in the mid-1990s and Mitsubishi models were not sold in Canada until 2002, with the RVR making its appearance in 2010.</p>

<p>Mitsubishi Motors has made a habit of coming up with new products on a tight budget. It took its popular Outlander sport-ute and trimmed 37 cm of extraneous sheetmetal to make the new RVR compact crossover. It also was 180 kg lighter, which allowed it to use a smaller engine, in this case the Lancer’s 2.0-L DOHC four cylinder, rated at 148 hp. And it mated to a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable (CVT) automatic. The base model was front-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive came bundled with the CVT.</p>

<p>Two litres is not enough engine to move the RVR with any authority; still, owners praised its relaxed ride, precise steering, quiet operation and AWD traction. Best of all, there are scant mechanical lapses. The most common recounts a finicky tire pressure monitoring system, along with premature brake wear and a few faulty oxygen sensors. The RVR is a value-packed and surprisingly reliable buy – as long as you’re not in a hurry to get anywhere.</p>
