1999 Mitsubishi Carisma GDI SE review from UK and Ireland
"Amazingly cheap and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car in over 200k!!!
Only consumable parts have been replaced including brakes, a clutch (at about 160k) and two exhausts.
For the person who is worried about the GDI being a bit noisy (especially at start up)... mine has been a bit rattly since 50k ish. Its been so long now I've forgotten!
General comments?
Just amazing reliability. Check out the Warranty Direct ratings for an early (Mk 1) Carisma - must be the lowest score ever surely.
Bizarrely enough the only thing it doesn't have is charisma.
