1993 Mitsubishi Magna Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"Comfortable, easy to drive, but high running costs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain cover eroded, had to be replaced with a new one, very costly.
Cylinder head had cracks, needed to be replaced with a new one, along with the radiator and all engine gaskets.
Automatic transmission is about to go, as it goes from 3rd to neutral for no reason, and when cold no gears change properly.
Minor engine oil leaks.
Blows rear tail light globes regularly.
General comments?
Very comfortable to drive, handles very well.
Very good for highway cruising.
But very poor at over taking, very sluggish acceleration.
Ample luggage space as it is a wagon.
Very poor fuel economy even from gas, has 50 litre tanks for both fuels, and it averages about 350km from both tanks.
