1995 Mitsubishi Verada Ei from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Distributor died

Engine seals are starting to show wear

Rear shock absorbers are leaking

Alarm system went haywire, so I ripped it out

Front brakes have made a scraping sound, can't rectify the problem

High pitch noise coming from the cruise control, can't rectify problem

Automatic Transmission can be indecisive.

The car is pretty sluggish, having driven a Honda since I've had my license. It corners quite well though, even with worn tyres (which are going to be replaced as soon as I get enough money). However, apart from tyres the only thing it needs is a manual transmission, which would make it much more fun to drive.

What with the blue sad face on the side of the 1995

Ei Varada?.

I have had a 95 Ei Verada for the past 4 years now and nothing has gone wrong with it, it has done just over 200,000 kilometres, and still the same motor running smooth and the pick up is still awesome.

I agree with the first comment! I've just bought a 1995 KS Verada ei with only 164000 and it drives like a dream. I've had RACV check it out. Repco checked it out even my mate at Holden to check it out!

So comfortable and the ride is ace!

Everything about it is so smooth!

It was a great buy!

Just purchased a Verada 95 EI in immaculate cond with 97,000 on the clock 17" alloys and brand new tyres, for 9,300 from reputable dealer. Goes well and hope it continues to! Any things to be aware of for this car?

I just bought a KS Verada after my old TP Magna died. I've been driving Magna's since 2005 when I got my P's. They have never let me down apart from my old TP Magna, which had 560,000km on it and the motor gave out (not bad for one motor).

But yeah for young drivers and people who just want comfort, reliability and quality, then I'd recommend them to the end. And now Mitsubishi have me for life as they have proven themselves as a quality manufacturer.

Fair enough, some things go wrong with cars, ie distributer caps etc, but that's general maintenance. You have to look past every day maintenance such as servicing, tyres, rego, brakes etc, and think has it ever needed any thing that cost more than a service to repair (i.e. motor computer etc), and if the answer is no, then you know they're more reliable than you think.

You treat them right, they'll treat you right.

I've got a 1995 KS Verada, owned it since new, just ticked over to 214,000km in 14 years. Apart from general wear and tear; tyres, brakes, servicing, all I've done is upgrade the suspension from standard to Sports suspension, put a high flow radiator in and that's it apart from a transmission service at 198,000km. In 14 years it has never missed a beat, it still looks modern and sleek today (the white models look better; since mine's been garaged since new and cared for, obviously it still looks new).

I can't fault it one little bit. I drove it from Sydney to Perth and back without hitch. When I upgrade it'll definitely be another Mitsubishi I buy.
