2000 Mitsubishi Magna Executive from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

The lever for the air vent keeps moving off position when set to recirculating.

The 3.5 V6 is a real performance bargain, with excellent fuel economy.

Yes, the Magna 3.5 in manual guise is a good performing car. The handling is predictable, it rides compliantly, with acceptable interior space, not to mention high levels of refinement & build quality.

I know, mate. I own one too, but in a 1998 Advance model, with 3 litre engine & 5 speed manual powertrain combination. Yes, I have driven the 3.5 auto & manual versions, & I would have to say that for anyone wanting the ideal solution in quasi-performance would be best off choosing either the 3.0 or the 3.5 litre, in manual forms. Just get a look at the Falcon or Commodore drivers face as you reach 0-100km/h in 7.59seconds! In the rear vision mirror, that is!
