2004 Mitsubishi Magna ES review from Australia and New Zealand
"Magna Really Rules!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Touch wood, so far nothing.
General comments?
Very roomy cabin and all user friendly dials. Or tho it kicks in a little to ruff from 1st gear to 2nd on semi auto, otherwise pretty fast car for a V6. This thing can go over 100km on second gear easy. Done about 120km per hour my self, at about 5500rpm on second gear. It could spin the tyers if the lift off is floored. Happens to me on even 18inch wheels.
The other week went to Apollo Bay Ocean Drive, man this thing can take corners like you wouldn't believe. And the semi auto was made for roads and corners like that. Even had to take over a WRX because he couldn't keep up. Honest. Even tho I have the base model ES I have more options on this car than a Ford Fairmont. For 2/3 the cost.Climate, ABS, 4 Airbags, 6 way electric drivers seat unlike Fords 4 way. All electric windows and the most important a Trip Computer. The bloody thing even tells you when or how often you should take a break between each drive. I mean what more can you ask for a car that you can have for less than 33 thousand $$$ on the road?!?! Let me tell you, NOTHING :)
