1999 Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi Ltd (Sedan) 1.5 from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Best first car
Faults:
I had the car inspected by my mechanic before I bought it from the car dealer. The dealer said there would be nothing wrong with the car. My mechanic found that:
- The spare tire wasn't bolted in the boot. (You will fail WOF if it isn't bolted in).
- The brake pads were getting old.
- The car pulls to the left.
The car dealer agreed to repair this. So, note to everyone, even though you bought a car from a reliable dealer, it doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with it.
General Comments:
Excellent first car. It only cost about $60-$70 to fill up. It isn't too big, or too small. It looks really nice too. I'd definitely recommend this car. I am not very confident at driving, but I think this car is easy to drive, very straight forward.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Correction:
I am the originator of this review and realized that I marked the “running costs” as 2 out of 10. I meant to give it 8 out of 10. It is quite economical for a medium size car.
