1999 Mitsubishi Carisma GDI SE review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
