Mitsubishi Carisma: The charisma of everyday life How much of what comes from the East, Mitsubishi Carisma is capable of puzzling: collected for some reason in Holland, squeezed by marketers between two classes, with a sedate appearance it can show a sporty character ... Is it not this versatility that lies the very charisma that became the reason for the popularity models? Neither before nor after Carisma was there anything like this in Mitsubishi's lineup: having appeared as a lower D-class (or upper C-class) model for the European market, ten years later it was discontinued without a direct successor. Carisma was one of the leaders in sales of the brand - despite the fact that the Volvo S40 and Mitsubishi Space Star were also produced at the NedCar plant in the Netherlands on the same platform. European origin explains the fact that not all of the model's components were Japanese; however, this did not affect the quality of the car. Almost all cars came to Ukr https://cars45.com.gh/listing/mitsubishi/carisma aine through official dealers who provided them with high-quality service during the entire warranty period. These cars (since 1998), unlike versions for other countries imported individually, have a ground clearance increased to 170 mm (20 mm) and a plastic protection for the engine compartment. Most of the Carisma were originally owned by city dwellers who used them as family cars. More often on the market you can find versions with 1.6 liter engines and 5-speed "mechanics". Less often comes the famous "Dzhidai" - a 1.8 GDI engine with direct petrol injection, known for its combination of power characteristics and economy (125 hp, 174 Nm, consumption 5.2–8.6 per 100 km). There are even fewer 1.8-liter engines with conventional multipoint injection and 1.9-liter Common Rail turbodiesels on our roads - they were not officially supplied to us. Carisma with a 1.3-liter engine could have come to our market from Russia. The biggest rarity is the Carisma GT Evolution with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and sports suspension. Automatic gearboxes are rare - both the adaptive Invecs II (which changes the moment of shifting depending on the driving style), and its updated (since 2002) version Invecs II Sport Mode with “manual” mode. Restyling in 1999 radically changed the design of the front and rear of the car. A light upgrade in 2002 brought Carisma slightly tinted headlights and removed the chrome bezels. Even in the "base" the model was equipped with a power steering, ABS, power windows and an airbag. Often there are cars with a sunroof, electric mirrors, adjustable steering wheel and armrest height, lumbar support in the driver's seat. The most expensive versions are equipped with climate control, heated seats and leather interior. Both bodies, with which Mitsubishi promoted its Carisma in Europe, corresponded to the D-class: not only the sedan, but also the 5-door liftback looked very solid. The metal is protected from corrosion by galvanizing, and even on wheel arches, where paint often peels off Carisma, rust can hardly be seen. The well-finished interior is comfortable, almost squeak-free and, as a rule, well-equipped. Of the equipment, the owner can only be annoyed by the power windows borrowed from the Renault 19 - they often emit a squeak, and on pre-styled copies the control buttons break. Good visibility; when reversing, the upper edge of the boot lid helps to orientate. The most common 1.6-liter engine is the most unpretentious to operate. The 1.8-liter GDI is more demanding on fuel cleanliness: mechanical inclusions spoil the high-pressure fuel pump, which develops up to 50 atm. The petrol filters of both engines need to be changed every 60 thousand km. For engines with ordinary injection, produced after 2001, this is done only together with a fuel pump (UAH 1190), however, at branded service stations they can convert the fuel system to a conventional filter, which is replaced separately (UAH 537). Experts know how to "treat" the increased oil appetite of a 1.6-liter engine by modifying the crankcase ventilation system. Hydraulic compensators of 1.8 GDI engines can knock already up to 80 thousand km, requiring dismantling and urgent cleaning. The timing belts of both engines are equipped with a belt, which dealers recommend changing every 80 thousand km along with the camshaft and crankshaft oil seals. Plugs of GDI motors with iridium electrodes, although expensive ($ 35 each), serve up to 100 thousand km. On machines with such engines of the first y https://cars45.com.gh/listing/mitsubishi/carisma
