1999 Mitsubishi Carisma GDI SE review from UK and Ireland
"It's a fine car if the price is right, and you don't go to far"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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!
General comments?
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.
