RE: Mitsubishi Carisma | Shed of the Week
Discussion
Ha. Well, it seems that someones a bit put out that last weeks 23 year old, silver, auto e39 didn't exactly get everyone pulses racing. Not bad but I for one didn't find it exciting enough to want to pay the additional running costs over a regular humdrum motor.
As for the Carisma... It's pretty much a charisma free zone of course, but as a economical diesel daily driver with relatively low mileage and full history, I've seen worse. I've owned and driven worse...
As an alternative shed, what about something like a 325ti compact, this looks okay? Surely more fun than going down the auto barge route?

Or an MR2 roadster maybe?

Been doing some of my own shedding as usual, not everyones cup of tea I'm sure but I bought an X Type 2.1 Sport. 48k on the clock, FSH, years ticket, was garaged, etc.

They've got to be from PH Classifieds to qualify. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/202...

Wonder if anyone’s ever put Evo VI internals into a Carisma?
If I'm not mistaken the Evo VI is essentially a Carisma shell, the Lancer Evo was called a Carisma GT is some markets IIRC.Excellent. I ran one as a daily for 15months in 2015-2016 along side a TME Evo VI.
It was a 1.9 diesel, had about 35k miles on clock. Purchased for approx 900 quid and sold for 600 at 50k+ miles. It had 'leather' seats and cruise control.
It was dynamically the worst car I'd driven. Loose and squidgey with poor brakes, it was slow too. However, it was cheap, extremely comfortable, and the best part was I got used to how it drove and after a few weeks it didn't bother me. I began to enjoy the fact that I really didn't care what happened to it, which is a refreshing feeling. In the end I was sad to see it go!
Two Mitsubishi's, both saloons from similar era and couldn't be more different. That Evo is still probably the best car I've driven.
