1982 Mitsubishi Mirage Colt GL review from Philippines
"I love the car then, now and forever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
IC regulator and rectifier were replaced with new ones only after 27 years!
The intake manifold was patch after water leaked.
Timing belt and belt tensioner replaced.
General comments?
This car is very economical.
There is power when you need it.
For a compact Japanese car the cabin is spacious and seats are comfortable.
The engine is very quiet even at 100+kph speeds.
The interior is like brand new. Original upholstery and carpets. The dashboard is practically brand new!
The engine receives regular oil change every 3000kms with synthetic oil. Since 1982 the engine has never been brought down for overhaul!
