1984 Mitsubishi Cordia L review from North America
"Mitsubishi's bread and butter in the 1980's"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is unsafe. I have been in three minor collisions with this vehicle from street racing, and the damage assessment was downright frightening.
General comments?
The seats are ideal for small to average-sized drivers. The exterior design remains clean and tasteful despite its age. Ride and handling is smooth and stable on smooth pavement due to larger tires, longer wheelbase and less body lean compared to the competition at the time. This slick fastback was one of the few Japanese cars that had personality. I pray they follow Volkswagen and see the lucrative benefits of nostalgia by reviving an old nameplate.
