1999 Mitsubishi Carisma Reviews - Page 2 of 2

The main problem is it leaks when raining,I think it's the door seal... otherwise too early to tell.

I got this car last week and so far it's been superb! it's smooth, powerful and economical, the interior is admittedly a bit garish, but I can live with that.

Some have reviewed it as boring, but I think it's a great car! All I want now is a spoiler, but I would not change a thing.

Nothing, 2:nd gear a bit funny when cold started at 0 degrees Celsius, only the first shift. After that it's OK.

Nothing else has happened other than normal wear and tear, such as a pair of headlight bulbs and batteries for the remote control.

Some vibrations noise/rattling has recently appeared around the dashboard, not much, but it's there.

I like this car because it's a good blend of comfort, economy and drivers environment. It's sleek, elegant and has low drag/wind resistance.

It has pretty much everything one can want in a car, being reasonable. It has full climate control, electric windows, electric rear view mirrors and a very nice automatic gearbox. The car runs quiet even at high speeds.

It's relatively cheap for it's class, perhaps due to it's simple choice of materials in the cabin. Nevertheless it's comfortable and classy. Insurance is reasonable and the fuel economy is outstanding.

Average fuel consumption figures as follows, 5.7 liters/100km (90km/h) on the highway, around 6.6 liters/100km mixed driving and 7.4 liters/100km in city traffic.

For an upper mid class car with a automatic gearbox, that's pretty good wouldn't you say?

One of the things that made me decide to buy this car is that it has a good driving environment, simple meters and gages that are easy to monitor when you drive. Exemplary design of the climate control, it's a breeze to manage even in traffic. The whole car breathes user friendliness.

Central locking for Boot failed three times before dealer got it right, but put scratches round the lock doing it so boot needed re-spray!

The car looks quite smart in my opinion. And has a high spec (air con, sun roof, ABS, power steering alloys). The 125Bhp GDI 1.8 engine is responsive quiet and economical.

The Down side is the suspension and seat comfort which cause fatigue and discomfort after less than an hour, don't buy for motorway cruising.

At delivery : no bulb in boot light, no cigar lighter, clock did not function, rear wiper blade loose, front washer jet hanging loose, scratch on front bumper and badly damaged door window seal.

Subsequently : battery died stranding the vehicle and mud flap fell off so far...

Astonishingly badly prepared car (dealer blames another dealer who allegedly carried out the PDI), with a host of small faults. Dealer has been reasonable at sorting them out but it is a real pain having to return the car so often.

The car is comfortable, very smooth and fairly swift for a 1.6 16v engine in such a big car. It handles OK (ish) with a fair bit of oversteer if you provoke it (who would want to provoke a family saloon anyway?) My wife finds all the controls to be very light and reckons it is the easiest car to drive she has ever used.

If the problems turn out to be merely teething troubles then it could turn out a fine car.

None.

Very attractive car - with very nice driving skills. The comfort is superb, and the motor power is sublime.

This is the best buy in Denmark I think.
