1995 Mitsubishi Magna SE review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fan belt broke at around 60.000 kms.
General comments?
Very smooth to drive.. I have had the car since 1996 and nothing major has seemed to go wrong with it... only very minor things such as handbrake adjustments and fan belt breaking after 70,000kms.
Although it is starting to burn quite a bit of fuel... and is costing me a fortune to get around, for example... I am only getting around 360kms to a tank! Although I am not too familiar with how much this car can take in terms of fuel capacity or how many litres are left until the fuel light appears, I still believe it is running rather un-economically. Does anyone else have this problem, and might you be able to give me an explanation or some useful tips?
