Advantages: Great for students or people looking for a budget bargain, A to Z type car Disadvantages: Lacks finesse, details, sloppy drive; hardly any refinement. Dealer servicing too expensive.
...life, but my mother's old Mitsubishi Space Runner was the key to choosing another Mitsubishi in the market since in the event that if the g/f decided to go on long hauls or needed a bigger car, then we would definitely be looking for a larger car, economical and comfortable as well as offering a good boot area. My mum's Runner model (based on the larger Space Wagon MPV) had suited her well for five years and had not failed her once (she now has the ... ...still unclear as to why Mitsubishi called this model "Carisma," even though it does have a certain charismatic personality of being very rarely seen on the motorway or in cities. I've only seen a handful and the car press have been unkind to suggest that it may well be boring but it does its job well and I'm pleased to say that thank god Proton haven't done their own design on it back in the days when Proton still had license from Mitsubishi to churn ...

But as I said before, if Mitsubishi had spent that extra penny here and there to me I would not looking to sell mine now. everything it does it does well but just misses the mark. ...

Advantages: great economical, reliable car Disadvantages: A bit bland
I bought my Mitsubishi Carisma just before I bought my new Peugeot 406. The vectra had died and I couldn't live without a car. I really wanted an Audi A4 but they were rather expensive, so as I was looking through the auto-trader and dismissing all cars apart from the Audi, I came across this car. I have never seen one of these before and I thought that they looked quite nice. I knew Mitsubishi was renowned for its great cars and also rally cars ... ...It was only 5 miles down the road from me so of I set in my mum's company car that she had lent to me for the day to see my future car.
When we got there I instantly fell in love with it. It was only a P reg model and had done 118,000 miles but it looked and sounded brand new. The engine was so quite that you hardly knew it was running. The black parts around the windows had faded a bit but that would easily be sort with a bit of back to black. ...

Advantages: Reliable, economical pleasant family car Disadvantages: Not for those who want speed
I purchased a second hand Carisma (02 Reg) from my local SG Petch outlet. I was most impressed by their service and after sales service. Their trade-in for my old car was excellent, almost £1000 more than I was offered previously by another garage. Overall I found Petch's to be a friendly helpful company, not as pushy as a number of previous experiences with other outlets.
Having had the car for almost 10 months now I can only say I really enjoy ... ...normal yearly amount because of the pleasure and comfort of driving the Carisma. Within that time absolutely nothing has gone wrong with the car, there have been no annoying rattles or noises or irritating problems. It has never had to go back into the garage for repairs. It starts first time every time. This is a big improvement on my previous vehicle which was in and out of the garage numerous times within the first few months for annoying little ...

...as he has bought a mitsubishi carisma but only newer and a desil because of his long journeys. Since i've had the car in the past 6 months i've done 5000 miles!!!...going to and from my mom and dads 178 miles away. Its a lovey drive and has never let me down, it never overheats and rairly needs top ups of water, oil or any other fluids. it holds then all well. It's very comfortable and spacey. Out of the 22 cars i've had over 7 years this is by far ... ...cheaply. the interior is comfy and the air conditioning is very effective especially at the moment in the hot weather. Top speed i've reached is 115 on the motorway and you can get 400 mile out of a full tank which is about £47-50.
Mine is a 1999 s reg which can range from £500 to just over £2000 depending on condition and whether you buy from a garage which is more expensive or private. It mark one goes from 1995 to 1999. parkers suggest a price ...

Advantages: good car, able to hold its own Disadvantages: servicing costs from dealer
...get to kit out a mitsubishi as it is still not so common.
The car to drive in general is relatively smooth, and handling of the car is great for me. I must admit, although i have only a standard knowledge about cars i know what i like and dont like.
The top speed managed as yet is 110mph, although that is really pushing the car and i shouldnt be doing it anyway! ( you have to try thought dont you!)
MPG varies depending on how much driven. The ... ...around 30-33 MPG.
The staff where really helpful and gave me a lot of information in order to guarantee the sale.
The only problem i have had is less than a week after receiving the car, the back spoiler became loose. This was because it hadnt set properly in the middle with it being brand new still. I took the car back and the problem was fixed. I got a courtesy car offered immediatley and the staff were very apologetic. Overall though a great ...

Advantages: Value for money, excellent service from dealership, good sized boot Disadvantages: slightly underpowered, above average servicing costs.
...£11000 brand new). The Mitsubishi dealer was exceptionally helpful. I wanted a good solid reliable car after two Fords that proved unreliable over the long term. The Carisma has great reliability backed up with a superb warranty. Safety was important and whilst it is only 3star Ncap rated it only just missed out on the fourth star.
The boot is a good size, more than adequate for a family trip away for a long weekend, although it may be challenged ... ...impressed with the fuel economy which makes up for the engine being slightly underpowered on the motorway. Around town is a smooth and easy ride although the handling is slightly sloppy.
As a family car it is a great second hand buy. Good value with a reputation for great reliability. Whilst servicing costs are above average the good fuel economy softens the blow slightly. Everyone I know who has owned a Carisma has said that they go on and on and ...
