1996 Mitsubishi Magna Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good car if well maintained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission occasionally changes gear harshly, it depends on how you drive. Tends to change gears better if you drive it harder.
Oil leaks through the cam cover seals. Rear bank is harder to get to. But easily enough to fix without a mechanic.
General comments?
The car is a cheap comfortable car.
It's OK on fuel economy. I can get about 12.5L/100km city driving. Highway is about 10L/100kms.
Handles quite well for 20 year old standard suspension.
I have had this car for over 1 year now, and I haven't spent any money on it besides the oil changes.
Very quiet car too.
