My dad, used to have one, a 99 saloon variation(learnt to drive in it at 14) . I sometimes check auto trader if one is for sale as I wouldn't mind one as my first car 😎, very good video 👍🏻
Good review. Decent old survivor, pleasant if anonymous machine which should last for many more years under sympathetic ownership. I would be happy to use it regularly.
My workplace had a bland LX 1.8 GDI for a short while…almost identical to the video. Didn’t know what it was at the time. But once I had driven it down the motorway a few times, I certainly knew the advantage of GDI by then….way more economical than other petrol 1.8 engines (I had a 1.8 Astra at the time). Very very dull but easy to drive. Didn’t think it was especially quick tbh….just “average”.
My former landlady from South Africa had one they are very reliable she offered me it for £500 but i could not get insured sadly as it was a powerful car , I did own its baby brother a 2007 Colt 1.1 and they are surprisingly very fast 0-60 in 10 seconds and 120mph top speed if you had a long enough motorway like M40 to Oxford lol
Drove one back in the day as I really liked the look of it - I don't like to stand out. Found the seats really uncomfortable, weirdly short in the leg, them not me 😂
One of my colleagues at work had one back in the 90’s. It was a throughly competent, utterly forgettable car 😂 Used to think Mitsubishi gave it that name just to attract attention to it - even if it was to ridicule the choice 😂

Had a Nissan Almera from this period & loved it.
Comfortable & smooth, unappreciated great little car.
Hated the Almera 😂
@@bid84 carısma better
Nearly bought one pre reg with a big discount in 1995
has the same dash as my old 2003 Subaru Impreza
Had one the same colour as a taxi for years, Renault diesel engine. I loved it, totally reliable and a very comfortable car to spend the day in
Marketing guys must have had a chuckle calling it the Carisma.

Bought one years ago as a stopgap. Not a car you could ever love but had to respect the reliability
It's a Volvo S40 with a blander, more boring body :)
different cars different engines but similar chassis i think mitsubishi better
volvo never used mitsubishi's gdi engine
