MITSUBISHI has won the contract to supply communications specialist DTS with a fleet of Carismas. Leased though Windsor Vehicle Leasing, the 19 cars account for just over a third of the Berkshire-based company's fleet.

The Netherlands-built Carisma came out on top after an appraisal of other manufacturers' models including the Toyota Carina and Vauxhall Vectra. DTS managing director Kelvin Beck said: 'We found the Carisma the best, notably for comfort, ease of driving and low noise levels. Mitsubishi's three-year unlimited mileage warranty was also a major factor, considering the high mileages clocked up by our sales force and engineers all over the UK.'
