Faults:

The clutch went out at 1,000 miles, due to a defect in the engine, was repaired, never had a problem since then.

General Comments:

The car handles really well, its like it held down to the road with super glue.

The car has a lot of get up and go, mine is a 4 speed manual transmission, and I can hit 60 miles per hour, before I shift to fourth gear.

Iv'e gotten mine up to 130 MPH before and it acted like it could still go a little bit faster, it's a really great little car.

Faults:

Ate alt/gen electricals on regular basis, nothing dealers did worked; blown fuses, melted wires, blown batteries, the works. Note this was actually a Hyundai in Mitsubishi badges.

Slow.

AC worthless.

Hard seats, cheap interior.

General Comments:

Looked good standing still.

Faults:

Mostly basic maintenance things, such as the brakes, fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc.

Clutch cable snapped (while going downhill luckily).

Engine blew.

Massive rust problems on doors.

General Comments:

Most people probably don't know that the Mitsubishi Precis is just a Hyundai Excel in disguise. I haven't heard great things about Hyundais (several friends of mine who have owned them tell me they are garbage) and based on my experiences with this car, I can understand why. Engines just shouldn't die at 91,000 miles. I know many of you might think "maybe the previous owner never changed the oil", but I bought it from a mechanic friend of mine, so I would have to assume he took fairly decent care of it.

Aside from that major problem, the car had issues with rust, and the ride was quite uncomfortable. the seats were tiny and hard, and the car bounced all over the place whenever it hit the smallest bump.

On the positive side, the car got excellent gas mileage. I used the car for an 86 mile round trip commute everyday and only had to fill up the tank with $10 twice a week.

Faults:

Oil leaks; windshield wiper motor; distributor cap/rotor.

Knocking sound uphill can be fixed by retarding the ignition with a screw.

General Comments:

Being a Hyundai Excel essentially, the car needs a lot of attention.

I bought it with 124K on it and have driven it for another 15K.

If you know what to expect from it and you take good care of the Precis, it serves you well. It has never broken down under me.

Faults:

Well the car is broke down now and needs a new motor, it's only got like 98,000 miles and no one has ever dogged the car, but it has had many problems with brakes, electrical, multiple engine problems, the clutch has never felt right.

General Comments:

This car looks like a Hyundai Excel, identical almost in fact. I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I was really disappointed with it, it was so cheaply made.
