it is a mitsubishi carisma in all but name and styling...but is that SUCH a bad thing, i think not....

ok it isnt a 9 series (it wont have the running costs either - choke -), its a mitsu so the engine will be well sorted and the aircon evap wont rust out, the fual economny will make 9 series owner cry....

i have known people run series 1 40's to high milage and be very happy with them...


personally i dont LIKE them, btu then again i just dont like smaller cars (and they are smaller), but our 'new' car replacing the 940 was a larger mitsubishi as i just couldnt stand the bloody costs of running older rwd volvo's and fwd estates in the 850/v70 range were like hensd teeth to find with low miles/decent history and tidy interiors....

liek i say i dont think they are bad cars but they are smaller cars...(bear in mind in europe we have had smaller volvo's for years 340,360,400, 480 v40, s40 etc)
