1996 Mitsubishi Magna Atera review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great all round family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with the car as yet. Although the Auto Transmission seems to slip in to neutral when I come to a complete stop (Auto Trans could be on it way out).
Minor oil leak which no one can seem to find where its coming from.
central locking opens all doors apart from front passenger (not really concerned about getting it fixed).
General comments?
For the age of the car it is a very comfortable car to use as both passenger and driver. The 3.0 liter V6 has a lot of power. Very good for quick overtaking. On the open road it is whisper quiet. Being a Altera it does have all the Mod Cons that make it a pleasure to drive. Can use a lot of fuel if you put your foot down, On average 9 kilometers per litre, This could be because it is a heavy car.
