I have an 02 magna as a daily. Had it for 3 years NEVER had an issue. I drive 800kms a week just to and from
work. Its the 3.5 with sports shift (i never use auto, it shits me). I bought the car at 146,000 kms for $6k.
Almost at 300,000 now :wub:
Its got enough power, fuel efficiency is good for what it is (country driving), is comfortable, has airbags, ABS.
Bad points.
every 100k you need to do the plugs and belt which cost me $850 to get done
The turning circle sucks balls, you'll be doing 3 point turns everywhere.
Occasionally you get petty fumes coming into the car, seems to be a Mitsi thing
Everyone gives you shit for owning it :D (all my mates drive Rolla's or Suburu's)
Factory radios seems to shit themselves
I've lowered it all round as I wanted it handle better on the long drive and I chucked in a decent sound system
and thats it. Keep it serviced and they seem to keep going.
Overall suits me perfectly. I'll never regret making the decision to buy it. I'd even consider it for the next car
but Id buy if from the Eastern states next time as they seem to be even cheaper over there...
Scott.
