• Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    It's say's everything about me. I really love my Carisma but I love any Mitsubishi vehicle so am sold in that aspect. Everyone that knows me, if you asked them to say one thing about me, they'd say my car.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They think it's cool as it's a nice colour (Black) & the Ralliart sunstrip that goes across the windscreen makes it look ever better & they like it better when they hear it's a turbo.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes I would. I'd buy this car again because it's the last Carisma ever made & I like having the last of the best because then you can never get a better Carisma because if you did, I'd have got that one instead. It looks good & all my friends like it. Also, check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u3sYwv_Ht4

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Some type of Mitsubishi vehicle. Am hoping for a Lancer Evolution X & Ralliart Grandis.

    No

    £7,000

    When did you buy the car?

    May 2007

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    I reckon so. I wanted one of the last Carisma's made and it had low mileage, looked smart & everything else was tip top.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Am a Mitsubishi loyal & I wanted a fairly new, fairly big turbo car in hope that my insurance will go kindly on me 'when' I get my Lancer Evolution. Also, I wanted a car that five doors & that nobody really had with the though of adding all/most of the factory extra's, including Ralliart items. Overall, Ive met lots of car collectors of Fords, Vauxhalls...Ect....Well, I'd like to collect Mitsubishi's. :) www.bebo.com/pulse88

    What was the dealer like?

    Cleveland Cars in Hull where really good & helped me out alot, since I was coming all the way from Aberdeen City in Scotland.

    What's it like to drive?

    I really enjoy it. It can sometimes have turbo lag but it does shift when it wants. It's not a slow car but not super fast.

    What's it like to park?

    It's alright. Parking sencors help.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    The engine is fine. It is due a service...(Nearly 30,000 Miles Ago)...Opps, & it's still going strong but I want to get it in for it's service just to be safe but it's only just a money issue, or else I would have done it. Apart from the engine, Ive have new brake pads put on, new tyres & 3 new bushes.

    What's most practical about your car?

    MPG, Built-In Sat-Nav & space.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Built in Sat-Nav & spoiler. The cruise control & 10 disc CD changer are great too. Parking sencors are handy.
