1991 Mitsubishi Magna SE review from Australia and New Zealand

The hood lining came down, but easily fixed with thumb tacks..

Interior drivers door handle cracked. $3 replacement from scrappers..

Fuel flap cable broke. $2 from scrapyard.

Apart from these very minor issues, with good regular servicing it has been a dream car to use as a run around.

Bought a year ago for $600 from the trading post. I knew it was a bargain as soon as I took it for a test drive.

Turning circle of a large truck.

I'm 6'2 and I'm extremely comfy in the drivers seat.

Very poor stereo, but easily upgraded..

Power steering, Air Con, Cruise control still working perfectly!

Quite thirsty for a four Cyl. But I'm an eight man, so it's still pretty cheap in comparison.

Thought it would only last 3 months with 240,000Ks on the clock. (and only paying $500, 11/2005)

One year later and 40,000Ks on, I'm shocked! I only replaced the rear brake pads ($25), fill it with fuel and change the oil periodically.

I had planned to buy a brand new car last year, but the magna refuses to die! So I'm waiting til it does.
