1999 Mitsubishi Carisma EXE review from Norway
"Simple and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor rattling in and around the dashboard at low and medium RPM.
Problem with gear change from 1 to 2 gear, but only minor.
Had to change 2 wheel bolts on right front wheel. Broke off during wheel change.
Exhaust middle part rusted of (lot of road salt). that is changed.
General comments?
Handling: A bit slow if you turn fast in high speeds.
Engine: Quick and reliable. No problem pulling small trailers.
Comfort: Simple controls. Window and AC all manual.
Noise can be a problem from the tires.
Done all repairs to the car myself. Very easy car to fix.
