1996 Mitsubishi Carisma GLX review from UK and Ireland
"A fantastically comfortable and absolutely reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
The Mitsubishi Carisma must be one of the finest used family hatchback/saloon money can buy. The car has fierce depreciation, but I cannot understand why. I've driven literally dozens of different hire cars over the last eighteen months in connection with my job and only one of them compares to the build quality, comfort and frugality of this car and that was the Honda Civic. As a used car this is an excellent buy.
