1998 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR review from Philippines
"Mitsubishi Philippines should do a better job"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Knocking sound from the front fender.
Squeaking/rattling from the front shock absorbers.
Busted A/C light.
Squeaking sound from the rear split type seats.
Left turning tendency.
General comments?
Very poor workmanship. Bad dealer service. All mentioned problems were encountered even before the 5,000 kilometer check-up. After the initial check-up the dealer was unable to solve the problems and charged me for doing doing nothing to the car.
Performance wise this car needs bigger brakes, a bigger engine, and a bigger rear spoiler.
