1994 Mitsubishi Magna review from Australia and New Zealand
"Reliable transport"
General comments?
This car has been reliable and economical.
It doesn't handle like a sports car, though it does have plenty of power.
Spins the wheels easily, in fact sometimes you don't even have to try.
It's a very torquey engine and delivers its power from 3 to 5 thousand rpm.
I bought this car as a repossession and it had obviously been uncared for, though it only cost me three thousand and had 113000 on the clock.
Believe me or not, but I have owned over 60 cars that I have bought and sold, and this is one of the good ones.
I should know because I do not know a single person who treats cars with such disrespect as I do, and to the cars credit, it hasn't missed a beat.
PS. Doesn't handle like a rally car in the dirt, or maybe most cars don't take dirt corner's at 100 kilometers per hour. I'm not kidding, like I said, I disrespect cars.
Buy one of these in V6 and manual form and you shouldn't be disappointed.
Runs quietly and smoothly despite abuse.
No oil or fluid leaks.
Ultra reliable, always starts like a new car should.
