1997 Mitsubishi Magna TF review from Australia and New Zealand
"Performance A++"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front CV boot split broke - easy to fix.
Minor oil leaks.
Drive belts needed replacing at 150,000.
Nothing major really.
General comments?
Magnas are awesome cars, from this model onwards.
Performance wise they will beat their ford/holden equivalent hands down... even some of the newer model fords/holden's.
They are lighter and have more torque.
Easy to modify and large gains are experienced from each mod (e. exhaust, air intake, extractors, lowering, turbo).
Overall a damn nice ride.
