"Pocket Rocket"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rocker cover leaked because someone overtightened one of the nuts, causing permanent deformation. Needed replacement.

Slight speckled surface rust on corner of each door.

General comments?

Engine sings above 5000rpm.

Poor comfort on long motorway trips, better set up for country lanes.

Steering feels very direct.

If you race this car, fuel economy suffers seriously.

Body panels dent very easily & paint chips easily.

Haha pocket rocket? The bhp a mitsi 1.6 is pathetic compared to what Honda and Toyota can do.

And what honda and toyota are you referring to exactly?!?!

I take it your referring to the honda vti engine or possibly the 1.6 type r engine? well your clearly very ignorant to the world of japanese motoring because in 92 mitsubishi made the mivec colt with 183bhp which is proven quicker than the type r, and for a fraction the price.

Also for the same money as a glxi the honda/ toyota equivalent are slower and less bhp, you may as well say 'o, but an an evo has more power than a fiat uno 1lt ie '
