1998 Mitsubishi Magna Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap car, but could be better on fuel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The major problems seem to be with the auto transmission. It up-shifts too early and the engine revs momentarily. Also the transmission has a constant leak which is a steady drip. I thought it was the transmission pan gasket, but this was not the problem. Aside from that everything else seems OK. It runs on dual fuel.
General comments?
Very thirsty on the petrol and gas. This car is seriously under powered, but tows OK.
