1991 Mitsubishi Expo - Fairly reliable and sporty
This car is old, so that does slightly affect my review. It is comfortable and I like the appearance. It seems to mostly drive well but does not have the best acceleration. I do appreciate the fact that I can use 2 settings to drive with; the "power" setting certainly uses more gas but drives better, and the "economy" setting gives decent gas mileage. The car is very compact, which is both good and bad. The small size allows me to fit into spaces I wouldn't be able to in a typical 4-door sedan, but it also limits space and seating. However, I do like the hatchback and find that the trunk is more spacious than it may appear initially. I feel that the small size also allows the car to handle turns better. I have had to make some repairs in the rather long time I've owned this vehicle, wh... (more)
Story
I drove this car in high school. There aren't too many particular stories that come to mind, but I do remember trying to cram 5 or 6 people in the tiny 4 seats.
Pros
I liked the compact size, good mileage, appearance, and the way the car can handle turns on the road. I also like the two settings that allowed me to be able to conserve gas.
Cons
It is too small to be entirely comfortable or store much of anything in the car. It is also challenging to find repair shops that carriers parts, and the car does not seem to have good acceleration.
1990 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pickup - A good value
At first, I didn't care for the truck. It's a five-speed manual, two-seater and like I said, a pick up so I wasn't feeling it at first. Learning how to drive a manual transmission was tricky, but after a few months, I have come to appreciate the value of the vehicle. I paid half of what these trucks usually go for, and they're good on gas. It's fun to drive, and it's pretty quick and agile for a truck. I definitely don't regret the purchase and plan on keeping it after my next vehicle purchase.
Story
Just being able to drive my friends around and do favors for people because it's a truck, so it's pretty useful.
Pros
It's a manual transmission, good on gas, and steel build.
Cons
It's a two seater, no cup holders, and lights don't cut off automatically.
1993 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pickup - cute, no guts
The thing was ok for hauling vary small loads and puttering around town, not much of a workhorse. Easy on the eyes, and good for camping trips with a canopy, its cute and compact, and may serve well for a smell delivery truck.
Story
Putting my dog in the passenger seat and driving around to various errands around town, he liked that truck.
Pros
small and cute, the vehicle had an attractive appeal
good gas mileage, smaller engine and construction meant better fuel economy
manual transmission, fun to drive
good for small loads
Cons
useless for heavy work. the vehicle cant handle too much weight without maxing out the suspension. no guts, the thing didn't have very good acceleration, even in the proper gear. Smaller engines are harder to repair.
