richie223 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 i work in mitsubishi as a mechanic and to be honest dont get much trouble with them,the only thing to watch is if they start to misfire as can lead to a decoke of cylinder head and new injectors but have not done many.overall not a bad little motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Very respectable off road performance for a small 4WD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vectra26 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I have a Mitsubishi Carisma and it's been a good little car for me, Mitsubishi do make a reliable vehicle. What sort of mpg are you guys getting with your Pinins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 They are oversize - and depending on how central the body is on the chassis may need spacers or they might scrub on full lock. However - the SWB Pinin has such an itsy bitsy teensy weensy turning circle that you don't need to use at full extreme. An added bonus is the extra 25~30mm height they provide. Your other half - if you have one, won't appreciate the noise they make on tarmac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of mpg are you guys getting with your Pinins? Just looked this up and they say 36 mpg around the doors and 40 mpg on a run.
