2003 Mitsubishi Carisma Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"A great long distance cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing at all.
General comments?
The car is very economical (50 MPG easily)
The performance is excellent.
The most comfortable leather seats.
The interior is well made and rattle free. Nothing has broken or fallen off
Air conditioning and cruise control ABS and electric windows as standard.
The ride of the car is not firm at all, but still remains composed through bends.
The paintwork doesn't collect stone chips.
This is the first Mitsubishi i have owned, and i can honestly say it has surpassed all my expectations.
Before buying it i read the reviews in popular car magazine publications. These gave the impression that everything about it was poor which is certainly not the case.
