2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia 1.8L turbo petrol from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Don't recommend
Faults:
It's the turbo touring model and I'm at about 130,000km now.
- Noticeably noisy tappets.
- Dashboard lights blown.
- Shocks need replacing.
- Expensive, hard-to-get-to oil leaks.
- Radiator fan stays on, sensor broken.
- Ignition coils need replacing.
- The turbo appears to do nothing.
- Fuel gauge broken; I suspect some sort of damper fault.
General Comments:
Comfortable and nice to drive. But in more recent times it has caused me a lot of grief.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

What I've learned from experience is Mitsubishi and oil leaks / oil burning go hand in hand. Stay away from them is my advice.
