I have been driving a Japanese-assembled Mitsubishi Lancer for the last 4-years (almost) give or take a few days. Call me sentimental but the reason I like this car is its ‘virtually’ zero maintainence .
Offcourse the usual oil, oil & air filter change aside the car has never gone to a garage for any other reason. Believe it or not even the side-view mirrors, the ‘cabin’ light & front/back Mitsubishi logos are ‘factory-fitted originals’. I think that speaks volumes about itthe car’s durability.
I am not a very ‘technical’ admirer of cars but practically speaking if it looks good & is still running fine after say 5 years or so of ‘medium rough’ use I think u’d agree it MUST BE A GOOD CAR.
Imports may be a burden on an economy but imports like this are worth sending some money ‘abroad’ as they save you a whole lot more before they ‘finally’ go the way of ‘clunker for cash’.
