1999 Mitsubishi Carisma GDI SE 1.8 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
An excellent car for the money
Faults:
I received a letter from the local main dealer, requesting the car be returned for a free inspection and repair to the rear brake shoes, as a fault had been found with one type. The shoes were replaced free of charge.
No other faults at all.
General Comments:
The car is very responsive and economical for it's size.
There aren't nay manuals available for servicing the car, making some tasks a dealer only option.
The Avon tires that are normally fitted are not to be recommended in the wet. In the dry, they are excellent.
A few irritating squeaks are the only real niggle with the car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I drive some times between 8 and 9 hours when the traffic/weather is good, and have no problems; no back ache, no knee ache. I think it's down to getting the correct driving position. I find the Carisma very comfortable, and the ride as well.
