Totoo Ba Madali Masira Ang Makina Ng Mitsubishi Vehicles Compare To Others? Guys Your Reactions?

At the end of the day it will all depend on how you take care of your car in general....

From experience... engine-wise, no. As mentioned, it all boils down to maintenance.

There were some models with auto-tranny problems like the mid 90's Galant but other then that, engine reliability is at par with Toyota-Mitsu-Nissan-Honda.

driver/owner ang dapat sisihin.. unless clear cut factory defect un

BeerhandBop

just look at all the PAJEROs and BOX TYPEs and the 92 Model Lancers still on the road.

still wanna question the reliability?

anyway, kapit bahay namin is 89- 92 Lancer owner. and still works like mint.

There is one Mitsubishi engine that will debunk that claim: the 4D56 diesel. This lump, both in normally aspirated and turbo form, was used in just about everything Mitsubishi, from L300s to L200s to first-generation Pajeros to passenger jeeps.

And many of them are STILL running. Don't tell me you don't see 1991 Pajeros still puttering about.

I suggest you drop that notion. Mitsubishi may be in bad financial health, but at this point the reliability of its engines can NEVER be doubted.

ako naka tried and tested mitsu.

una yung owner type jeep na sa ilalim ay isang box type 80's lancer, bata pa ako nun, nasira lang yung body sa kalawang kaya ginawang owner, yun pa yung ginamit na pagaaral ko sa pag dadrive noon at paghataw. hanggang ngayon umaandar parin.

yung dalawa kong utol ang tawag ko dun mga piloto hindi driver kasi para silang nagpapalipad ng jet fighter sa kalye, naka mirage at lancer, sabay binili yun 5 years na nakakaraan ang pinalitan lang yung gulong at brake pad.

kung meron man akong reklamo sa mitsu yung security alarm system, ewan ko yung local diamond motors lang yata naglagay nun. an daling masira nag auto lock pa.

yung crv ko 3 years palang bumigay na yung compressor at nagloloko yung D nagbiblink. ang hirap pa maghanap ng parts ang mahal. ang dami pang kamuka, pwede ng mag volt-in pag nag kasabay sabay yung tatlong kulay sa kalye. baka nga ibenta ko na ito at palitan ng outlander +toyota 86 levin.

problemado ba mitsu ngayon? hindi ba nagmamanufacture sila ng military vehicle ng japan tulad ng bagong F-35 at Type90 battle tank nila.

^ OT:
Yep, if you've been following car business news, Mitsubishi's last 10 years have been difficult due to the botched tie-up with what used to be DaimlerChrysler.

They're on the road to recovery now, but they're really pinning their hopes on the 2008 Lancer to get them "back in the black."

mitsu kasi is a zaibatsu. meaning hindi lang isang klaseng negosyo ang hawak nito. marami silang ibat ibang binebenta at ginagawa. halimbawa na yung jet plane nila, meron ding mitsu heavy industries, mitsu elevators, kaya minsan napapabayaan ang isang negosyo nila.

well said, nagcoconcentrate kasi sila sa heavy industries.


may alam ba kyo na mabibilan ng mirage (GSR US version)
as in gsr na gsr, nakalagay lang sa likod mirage.

bny888

to answer the question, nope, mitsu engines are reliable, and that is based on personal experience.

OT: i'm excited about the new lancer too, parang evo, hehe.

I second the motion!

newkid

Yes its true, sirain nga Mitsu cars. Thats why resale value is very low.

tigacainta

Mitsu sirain ??? ....... di naman ciguro......nasa gumagamit yan.....nga lang at present parang ala nang advantage ang mag mitsu ka...unless fan ka nito ( paj, lancer )...... honda city lang talo na lancer sa features at design..........( di naman sila mag k category pero parang panis na mitsu)

shun_sakurai

Iba ang usual na reklamo sa Mitsubishi. Hindi makina, kundi kalampag sa suspension/underchassis.

jason_10

we had a mitsu before. the 95 TDIC paj. engine needed to be overhauled after 5years. engine and turbo is leaking oil. but that was after crossing deep floods, and had not having regular PMS. sayang i didn't know anything about maintenance back then.

slamm

It still all boils down to the owner and the driver.

Our 1994 Galant VR is still running very well up to now (and we've had this since it was brand new). We've overhauled the suspension already, changed the T-belt, water pump, some bearings and the head gaskets, recently changed the compressor (which gave way after 14 years) and one of the sensors... same thing done on any old Corolla or Civic...

Balance between

Quality control of manufacturer / Assembly Plant

Attitude/ Discipline of Driver/ Owner

Ideal factor sa Car durability & efficiency...

shun_sakurai

recently changed the compressor (which gave way after 14 years)

14 years?! Wow, factory parts pa. Ang tibay ah

About the bearings...were these wheel bearings or crankshaft bearings?
