Transmission failed at about 140000km (a known problem with these cars).
Unknown fault with fuel system causing the car to run on three cylinders. Fixed itself after two weeks never to occur again!
Left rear tail light kept blowing. Couldn't find the problem. I have seen dozens of Magnas with the same light out.
Very comfortable, smooth and quiet.
Fuel economy is reasonable if driven with respect, but horrible when thrashed.
Acceleration is mediocre and there's a fair bit of body roll in corners. Brakes are quite good.
Bought this car for it's combination of price (cheap at the time) and interior space - wagon has enormous carrying capacity.
Exceptionally reliable except for the tranny. Longevity of interior trim and paint impressive.
I just bought a 1992 TP Magna Executive Wagon. When I first drove it, it was fine, then after RWC, it kept stalling and bunny-hopping when slowing and reversing. My Dad says the oil in Magnas are very touchy and that could be causing the problem. I really hope its that simple. It has no rust and great interior size-wise. With two kids, the space is a huge asset.
