2004 Mitsubishi Magna ES review from Australia and New Zealand
"Why not Magna"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really so far.
General comments?
This Magna is not bad for what they cost. But I would like to ask others who own the same models on why the resale of these cars are so low? I mean so far that I have driven, i have no complaints. Its got more than a standard Falcon or Commodore. And costs about a third less. How come? is it because its front wheel drive and Australians do not support a car of this nature? Or is it looks? Or maybe all of its models look a like? Still tho, its got electronic drivers seat, ABS, electric windows "all", Climate control, an alarm and immobiliser, cruise control and trip computer. All these would not on a car that would cost no less than $40 to $45 grand Falcon or Commodore. Where as you can get all this for $30 grand on the road at Mitsubishi. How come no one thinks about these things when buying the more expensive brands? Believe me when I say these Magnas are reliable. I do give its moneys worth on the road or highway when it comes for some show off. Its economy is better then most V6's.
I would love to hear some comments about the questions that I have raised.
