  1. I'm pretty sure that's the same guy I follow on Instagram. He currently owns 4 Carismas and I kind of admire him 😁
  2. I've read that these were really mediocre when new. Such a shame because they really had a lot of potential. What didn't you like about it?
  3. Small update I deregistered my old Carisma and it's already sold. But before that, I decided to swap the headlights due to excessive yellowing on the new one. Looks much better now and definitely worth the effort. I then decided to polish the other headlights, thinking it would make a difference when trying to sell the car. The guy who bought it though just wanted to make sure that the a/c was working. Pretty sure it will live on somewhere in Africa. Still a bit sad to let that car go, it was great for what it was and I will miss what was arguably the worst upholstery fabric of any Carisma, along with the blue interior trim.
  4. So I have this weird obsession with Carismas, probably because I had one as my first car. I think its an attractive car (well at least the Facelift), one of the cheapest cars you can buy used in Germany and it does get half-decent gas mileage, at least with the GDI engine. I bought my current (and second) Carisma in 2019 and it has been pretty reliable for the past 50000km. Unfortunately it developed transmission issues which is why I've been on the lookout for a proper replacement. About two weeks ago I found a listing for a Carisma Dynamics, a limited edition with a special Fondmetal body kit, rear spoiler, wing mirrors and 17 inch wheels instead of the usual 15 inch wheels. It wasn't exactly near me but I always wanted one, so I called the guy and two days later I drove there to take a look. It wasn't without issues but overall in good shape. I just had to buy this. Here it is next to my current Carisma, which I still have to sell. Next up, I'll have to deal with the yellowing headlights and the valve cover seals, as it is leaking oil into the spark plug shafts, but this should be an easy fix. Overall I'm very happy with this one. They seem to get increasingly rare to find and I would have regretted not owning one.
  5. Hi there, I've been reading threads on here for over a year now, so I guess it's time to introduce myself. I'm from Germany, very much interested in japanese and french shite from the 90s and currently (since last saturday) on my third Mitsubishi Carisma. I'm thinking about making a thread for this one when I have good pictures.
