BARF!

oh.. did i mention it was was the most unreliable and expensive car i've ever owned?

bye bye gearbox

hello crack in block

hello crack in head

hello blocked radiator

hello rust

hello leaks

hello mould

good bye magna...

and magna auto gearboxes have to be the worst thing in existance....

to explain it with a picture...

It was a TM Magna for christ's sake!

Hello Astron 4cyl... worst heap of crap motor ever...

wheels car of the year 1985, chief

and i've had no more joy with later model magnas...

govt "worker" , remember....

i've driven verada wagons before... f-all room (less than a mini), it's the most boring, dis-connected drive....


and you sir, need to be concentrating as much as possible...

Lets ruin his thread entirely...

What would you suggest, oh master?

I have broken 3 Magna rental cars in 12 months on regular Armadale to Inverell drive I used to do. 2 gearboxes and an engine. The gearboxes just exploded and engine broke the crank which resulted in several pistons making a break for freedom through the block in a very spectacular fashion.

I broke a Camry as well but they were far tougher


.....it became a challenge

Trying to drive it like a 12 cylinder Jag were you?

i was going to say a honda or a toyota..

if you're so keen on reliability and comfort....

mitsubishi brought out the "series 2" 380...

it's better than calling it the Mitsubishi "car that now doesn't loose the rear window" 380

Nar I was driving it a like a rent-a-car on a country road.

LOL @ Rental car abuse

My uncles, Pajero V6, which is supposed to be a tougher version of the 3.0 litre magna of it's time has blown up at 150,000 k's But they have a 4 cylinder magna, which gets beatne by my mini in a straight line which has past 150,000 woithout any major porblems yet. Let's jsut say Mitsubishi is not known for reliablilty. Honda on the other hand, that's a different story. willy, what do you want? (thread hi-jack! ) Do you want a fast car, a reliably car, a large car or an economical car? Or all of the above. As IMO Magna only fits into the large car catagory, and possibly economical for it's size.

I want something thats 'normal'.
Something I can tow with.
Something with four doors.
Something with a largeish cargo area.
I don't need to go fast... I'll have my track Mini for this.

And to me... a car that does 11L/100km is as good as a car that does 8L/100 or 14L/100.

Accord

More of a Granny's car than a Verada is
