Mitsubishi Carisma Hatchback 1.8 SE GDI 5d (1999/T) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Great - cost me £7k at 18 months old with just 9000 recorded miles and ongoing manufacturers warranty.
Costs
Reasonable, one big service every 54k miles but otherwise sub £200 a time. Cheap to buy and no unexpected bills. I fit Goodyear NCT5s and get 40k on the front, and 80 on the rear - that's about £3 per 1000 miles.

On the road
Driving
Bog standard family hatch - it has no 'CARISMA'.
Performance
OK, not as slow as you might think and fuel economy very good to about 150,000 miles.
