2004 Mitsubishi Magna ES review from Australia and New Zealand
"The Ugly Best!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Honestly, nothing so far!
General comments?
I do not care what people say about the new Magna's face lift, I could not be more glad for buying the Ugly Best!
I have the semi-auto transmission and the thing blasts in to corners on second gear.
Recently got 18inch wheels, and my god for for the take offs, because there is more traction on the wheels its about half a sec, quicker then previous. The wheels do not spin as much on take off.
Been to the country recently, and I must say the semi-auto is a blast to drive. There is no corner too slow for this beast. And the gear changes are also so nice and smooth. Or tho it could kick in a little 2 hard from 1st to 2nd on high reving, when on semi-auto mode.
Just managed under 9 sec, score for a run to 0-100km. not bad considering its not V-RX. A standard 155kw V6. With that number does get ahead of the previous Falcon 6 cly. and any of the recent holden V6's. And I have proved my point at the lights many times.
Will be getting an after market sports muffler and sports springs. And hopefully will be chipping it soon as well. Then will let you know the better results on 0-100? In a short note, for what they worth you can't go wrong on a new magna. Definitly moneys worth.
