1996 Mitsubishi Magna Executive review from Australia and New Zealand

Nothing wrong till now.

It is roomy and heavy. Makes you feel reliable, especially when you drive on a freeway. It is big enough for your family, and powerful to tow a cartage. I drove about 30,000KM till now, and I did not even spend $1 dollar on repairs. It was made in 1996, but till now it is still looks OK. Compared with a Camry 1996 and Honda 1996, the Magna has a good looking inside and outside.

Paint is good, it is still shining, even though it is 11 years old.

The interior has maintained well. No wear until now. Of course little plastic accessories were damaged by the previous owner and myself, because it is 11 years old.

Transmission is OK. Much better than the previous generation. No problem till now. Even sometimes it feels not perfect.

Brake is good. Done 30,000KM, haven't changed the brakes at all.

I think there might be some waste on the power, I mean the power system is not efficient enough. It is 3.0 V6 engine, but the acceleration is not as good as you imagine. But it is still OK, because it is not a sport car, and the weight of Magna is high.

Overall, it drives good, and smoothly. If the Magna or 380 have a smaller engine and keep the same weight, that will be great!!!
