2004 Mitsubishi Magna TL ES review from Australia and New Zealand
"An average car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1- Engine needed to be replaced because it dropped a valve.
2- Sport shift 5 speed auto thumps hard when changing from 1st to 2nd gear. Both in fully automatic and manual control.
3- Irritating rattle around the passengers side.
4- Air conditioner does not work sometimes.
5- Rear right hand side rear window stopped working.
6- Steering vibration.
Only a few of the problems has been fixed.
General comments?
It is a smooth and quiet car. But this is a company car replacing my Camry V6. I don't like the front end of it much, but it is comfortable though.
