Mitsubishi Verada

I brought a used 2002 KJ Verada XI Series II from a minister here in Tas in December 2018 for $1900. It had just over 230,000k's on the clock. And condition wise, it's honestly immaculate barring a few stone chips and minor scratches which i haven't tended to as yet. As for the car itself, well, options wise, it's amazing. Leather interior, sunroof, electric seats as with almost electric everything else. It's almost 17 years old and there is no noise whatsoever, so squeaks, or anything. It is like a new car. The power in the 3.5 engine is amazing. I couldn't recommend this car enough. Comfortable to drive, with all of the options, it's like the Magna of a Mercedes so to speak.

Honestly the best car I've ever owned. My only complaint would be the headlights yellowing from the sun & some clear coat peel. But thats minor. Its very comfortable, reliable and affordable. Excellent family car. Overall, i'm very impressed with my KL Verada AWD and would highly recommend this car.

One of the best cars i've ever owned. Full of features. Smooth to drive. Powerful and very economical V6 Engine. The build quality was excellent. Materials used throughout were top quality. Has always been reliable. Loved every bit of it and miss it ever since i sold it. Hope the current owner is loving it as much as I did.

This is my 4th Verada and my last one as I intend to keep this for as long as possible.
Has only 92000kms and is petrol- lpg converted.
These cars are solid,powerful and extremely comfortable to drive.
These models and the previous models were of a high build except for paint issues which I experienced on a previous model.
Keep them serviced and they will go on forever
Interior materials especially the leather are of high quality.
Simply love these cars.
Those were the days when you could distinguish a base model from a luxury model.
If you get the chance, try the series 2 which had a 5 speed trans fitted,nothing wrong with the 4 speed tippy but the gear ratios are slightly better.

Bought my Verada in 2006 when 9 months old. Has given no problems whatsoever, and still on original brake pads @ 103000km. Just put new Bridgestone tyres on even though similar original tyres still had life left in them. It is a great touring car and I would average around 10L per 100km. It is just as happy around the city although the car is a bit longer than normal when pulling in to parking spots. I am expecting to get a lot more trouble free years ahead. A great car.
Reliability, quietness, fuel economy, touring.
A bit long for parking. Instruments sometimes not easy to see in daylight.

My ex demo kl verada awd has been an excellent car for the money. I t does everything an Australian built car should do.As long as you service them, treat them nicely they will look after you. I average 10.1 litres per 100 kms. I don't have to add oil between services which are done by an onsite mechanic/friend. At 100000 kms it's still seems like a new car. If you can get one. You wont be sorry.
Great value. Goes well, handles well, stops well. I put michelin primacy lc's on and it is magic.
They should have made the wagon awd as well, and a ute too. When the time comes for another car I want to keep this one and turn it into a ute, with a supercharger conversion. Weeee!!!!

An excellent car with all the features of a more expensive euro car. ABS brakes air bags etc. Resale value is poor but i intend to keep till it dies. parts are cheap as well as tyres and servicing as it is a `standard` car.
Luxury - comfort - power - perfect for our family who just got a little child - very cheap to but second hand - got an 04 with 65km for $15000 in SA
Front wheel drive but what can you do

Have done over 200,000 trouble free klms and the Verada is still "tight". The 9th and the best car we have ever had. We also have an excellent dealership in town. Absolutely all positive.
Economy. Looks. Comfort levels. Quietness
Cleaning the front of locusts.

Seriously Magnas are the bargain of the century, I got a 2003 Verada with electric everything that opens and shuts for just under $10000, this car was nearly $50,000 7 years ago!
Comfortable, powerful and easy to drive. Interior design is fantastic, beats falcons and commodores of the same era hands down.
Not much really, except a little bland looks with the base models.
