1995 Mitsubishi RVR Super Sports Gear review from Australia and New Zealand
"Awesome performance meets practical family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Purchased 2 days ago. Have noticed a bad "miss" under hard acceleration around 2500RPM.
Suspect the front suspension bushes require replacing as they rattle at speeds below 60Km/H.
Exhaust tip is fairly black so I suspect it's running rich and will require adjustment.
CD player keeps skipping so it will be discarded for a new model.
General comments?
This car was purchased due to it's flexible seating arrangement. Performance was initially secondary - until I learned what was under the bonnet.
I find it's amazingly quick and have enjoyed the extra power. Will be running some tests to see what fuel consumption is.
After going around corners I feel like stopping to check to see if some has put it on rails!
Wheels are 16" alloy wearing Yokohama 225/60R16 tires that look near new.
It has a bullbar, foglights, side rails and Haymen Reese towbar.
Visibility is excellent.
Couple of points:
How do you set the compass?
What does the A/T button (on the next to the exterior mirrors control) do?
What is the little mirror on the front left guard for?
How do you activate the headlight washers?
