1992 Mitsubishi V3000 SEI review from Australia and New Zealand

"This car is so far the best I have driven and my current favorite"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I brought the car it had a fault with the stereo. Took almost a month for the dealer to have it fixed.

The front brake disks needed to be skimmed and the pads replaced at 139000kms due to brake shudder.

General comments?

Just after I brought the car I had an LPG system installed due to fluctuating petrol prices at the pumps here in NZ.

Although the exterior was not too pleasing to the eye, that was all I could fault with this particular car.

The interior view was more pleasing and I was somewhat initially confused by the luxury gadgets, but soon became familiar with their functions.

After 3 hours of good cornering and smooth road handling, it made you feel that you hadn't just finished a few rounds with Mr Tyson.

The V3000 is not overly quick, but is no slug either when overtaking.

I had previously owned cars which were either screamers or roarers.

So it was a delightful pleasure to whip along rolling country side with a motor that just purred.

The LPG system ran without a hitch and reduced my gas bill with great satisfaction.
