1998 Mitsubishi Carisma review from Belgium
"Never again, even if I win one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not as well built as the Galant, noisy.
Changed dealer 3 times in search of better service. In Belgium service seems to get worse by the minute. I'm not isolated in my experiences with dealers, my father owns Lancer (they still have not found the source of the problem on his car after 2 years).
General comments?
Galant was a very nice car.
Carisma is a bad car trying to live on a good reputation.
