1984 Mitsubishi Cordia GSL review from Australia and New Zealand
"An excellent first sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed to replace the diff - slid into gutter. Lots of dents, all my fault. Starting to rust, but has been re-sprayed. Sticks in lower gear, before jumping to higher gear. Poor power. Air conditioner broken.
General comments?
If driven manually using L, 2, and D, the car has decent power.
However, if using fully-automatic transmission, power is very low.
Good fuel consumption if driven normally, without hard acceleration.
Original Seats very comfortable.
Not much room in back seats, therefore is hard to access (2-Door).
Interior color a little "old-school"
