Anybody own a Mitsubishi here? Must say farewell to my 99 Altima. Looking at used Mitsubishi sedan

[CTyankee]

cuz it's a bit cheaper than Toyota or Honda. Altima's are not so great recently, according to Consumer's Guide.

I'm thinking of trying Carmax. Not interested in leather seats and sunroof.

1. I am OK with my '09 Galant. Reliable, decent mileage.

Nothing exciting.

2. I don't care about "exciting" anyway. Reliable and decent mileage sound good to me!

3. I put 167,000+ on my '98 mirage.

It had the original clutch when I donated it. The only problem I had was with the A/C. It was time for something new, but I didn't like the gas mileage or the drive of the Outlander, so I picked the Mazda CX-5.

4. do you like the Mazda?

5. I love it.

I can make it from WV to my parents' in NJ on one tank of gas. The only thing is it's not great on really snowy hills. But not much is that would get me good gas mileage.

7. I took a look on carmax and didn't like the gear shift...it looked awkward...

also the back seats look SO close to the front seats!

Is yours a sedan? That's what I looked at on carmax...

9. The Cx-5 is a crossover.

I have the six speed manual. It's really roomy, I've had 5 adults comfortably in it.

10. what is a crossover?

12. All wheel drive based on a car platform.

It's a bit of a vague category, but I guess most Subarus would qualify. Sport/utes are usually based on a truck platform, but there is some crossover...

[CTyankee]

13. OK. I guess I know what that means. Thanks tho for the explanation!

6. There's a reason Mitsubishis are cheaper

Look around you and notice the number of 20 year old Toyotas and Hondas still in daily use. How many 20 year old Mitsubishis do you see? Very few. Mitsubishis aren't built to last.

8. Only a one seater but not bad.....

11. I guess I know your opinion of Japanese cars...
