1997 Mitsubishi Carisma LX 1.8 GDI
Summary:
Reliable and economical family sedan
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong with the car.
Regular oil change at 165000km.
180000km service is VERY expensive at the dealer, due to the fact that it is combined 60000km & 90000km service (all fluids, timing belt and those Iridium plugs re replaced).
General Comments:
Car is very reliable - I've had no quirks or problems with the car during my ownership.
1.8 GDI engine /w manual transmission gives rather good performance for family sedan.
This car is far from thirsty: I've reached 5.2L/100km on Hwy with ease and my total average from past 12 months is 6.3L/100km.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
