Mitsubishi Carisma: The charisma of everyday life Like much of what comes from the East, Mitsubishi Carisma is capable of puzzling: for some reason it was assembled in Holland, squeezed between two classes by marketers, with a sedate appearance it can show a sporty character ... Isn't this versatility the very charisma that caused popularity models? Neither before nor after the Carisma was there anything like this in the Mitsubishi model line: 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 brand's top sellers, despite the fact that the Volvo S40 and Mitsubishi Space Star were also produced on the same platform at the NedCar plant in the Netherlands. The European origin explains the fact that not all model components were Japanese; however, this did not affect the quality of the car. Almost all cars came to Ukraine through official dealers, who prov mitsubishi carisma for ided them with quality service during the entire warranty period. These cars (starting from 1998), unlike versions for other countries, imported individually, have a ground clearance increased to 170 mm (20 mm) and plastic protection of the engine compartment. The first owners of most Carisma were residents of big cities, who used them as family cars. More often on the market you can find versions with 1.6 liter engines and a 5-speed “mechanics”. The famous Jedi is less common - a 1.8 GDI engine with direct gasoline 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 distributed injection and 1.9-liter Common Rail turbodiesels on our roads - they were not officially delivered to us. Carisma with a 1.3-liter engine could enter 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 (changing the shift point depending on the driving style), and its updated (since 2002) version of the Invecs II Sport Mode with a "manual" mode. Restyling in 1999 radically changed the design of the front and rear of the car. A light upgrade in 2002 brought the Carisma lightly tinted headlights and removed the chrome trim from them. Even in the “base”, the model was equipped with power steering, ABS, power windows and an airbag. Often there are cars with a sunroof, electric mirrors, steering wheel tilt and armrest height adjustment, 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. Galvanization protects the metal from corrosion, and even on the wheel arches, where paint often comes off Carisma, rust is unlikely to be seen. A well-finished interior is comfortable, almost does not creak and, as a rule, is well equipped. Of the equipment, only power windows borrowed from Renault 19 can annoy the owner - they often make a squeak, and on pre-styling copies, their control buttons break. Visibility is good; when reversing, the upper edge of the trunk lid helps you navigate. The most common 1.6-liter engine is the most unpretentious in operation. The 1.8-liter GDI is more demanding on the purity of the fuel: mechanical inclusions spoil the high-pressure fuel pump, which develops up to 50 atm. Gasoline filters of both engines need to be changed every 60 thousand km. For engines with conventional injection, manufactured after 2001, this is done only together with a fuel pump (UAH 1190), however, at branded service stations, the fuel system can be converted to a conventional filter, which is replaced separately (UAH 537). Increased oil appetite of a 1.6-liter engine, experts are able to "treat" by finalizing the crankcase ventilation system. Hydraulic compensators of 1.8 GDI engines can knock already by 80 thousand km, requiring dismantling and immediate cleaning. The timing of both engines is equipped with a belt, which dealers recommend changing every 80 thousand km along with the camshaft and crankshaft oil seals. Candles of GDI motors with iridium electrodes, although expensive ($35 each), serve up to 100,000 km.
