1992 Mitsubishi Lancer CB GSR 4 Door Hatchback review from Australia and New Zealand
"Strongly don't recommend purchasing this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine was the main problem with the car.
I bought the car off an elderly woman, who said she had looked after it very well, and a few weeks after my purchase it started leaking a lot of oil.
When I was driving in any gear, the car would sometimes skip and jump for no reason whatsoever, which is extremely frustrating.
Took the car to a mechanic who had to rebuild the engine because the timing belt sticker was fake and it hadn't been replaced, and many other problems. $2000 later and it's still running badly.
Fuel economy isn't that great. It cost me $30 - $40 to fill up which is good, but I only get 300 - 350k's to a tank, which I don't think is that good.
As it's a Japanese car from the early 90's, it's basically made of plastic. Not very safe in my opinion.
No safety features, eg airbag or anything, only seatbelts.
General comments?
The car is not very reliable and lacks power.
