Mitsubishi Carisma Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Mitsubishi Carisma 1992

I bought my Carisma second hand about three years ago, and to its credit it is still going strong. There are a few negatives that should be mentioned: No rear windscreen wiper so often rear visibility is poor. The car rides very low on the road so that going over speed bumps I am often reduced to about 5 miles an hour to go over them (probably the point lol!) and other cars get irritated that I have slowed so much, but any faster and I bang the exhaust on the bump. The car itself has a fair amount of welly and accelerates really well up hills, often overtaking newer and more flashy cars. Handling is less impressive however as it often pulls a tad one way or the other. All in all a good second hand car with some nice features - the electric wing mirrors, but if you had more money I don’t think you would opt for it!
