1996 Mitsubishi Carisma GLS review from Netherlands
"Pretty fast with excellent seats and a lot of space for its money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A few minor problems in the first two weeks.
For example: some strange noise from the dashboard.
No big problems and all the minor problems were solved quickly by the dealer.
General comments?
The car is comfortable and pretty quick.
A big difference from the 1.6 petrol version which is a lot slower.
It is a pretty cheap car to drive and has very good (front) seats.
This is my first car with air conditioning. I like that.
The Nissan was better in cornering speed, but this isn't bad at all.
It is a bit boring to drive.
