Talk:Mitsubishi Magna

message: There are a number of accuracy problems with this article and the sections in dispute read as if they were written by a Ford/Holden fan.
Reliability Issues
Reliability was an issue with automatic transaxles in the TM and TN Carby models. There were no issues with any TN EFI or transaxles form the TP onwards. 
As for engine troubles, these were few and far between and certainly no more than the EA-EL Falcon. Falcons cracked heads, as did the Magna (in some cases).
Market Share
Unfortunately your The Magna sold well for three years after introduction, but soon found its market share eroded by sophisticated offerings from competitors like Ford Australia and GMH-Holden Australia.' is pure POV. The EA Falcon and VN Commodore (introduced three years after Magna TM) were far from sophisticated for their time. If you research all three cars, the Magna was far more sophisticated than the other two (as also reported by the motoring press).
As for it's market share being eroded, again incorrect, according to motoring journals in the day the Magna took sales from Falcon, Commodore, Telstar, 626, Camira and others as it created "a segment of it's own". The Magna sold fairly well up until the TL facelift in 2003 - Cartman02au 23:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking as a fan of mitsubishi's in general i think the comments that the Diamante/Magna's tend to be unreliable and have poor resale is fair comment. In New Zealand you can buy a 2001-2002 model car with good milage for around $5000 as compared to a similar commodore/falcon model for $20,000 or so. All of the australian built models rust like its going out of fashion, and the japanese and australian models tend to blow a lot of blue smoke. 202.175.135.139 02:18, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I tend to disagree based upon my experience with them (and that of many respected motoring journalists). The earlier Magnas had issues, but the later ones and those with V6s in particular were very reliable. Rust didn't seem to be an issue after the first generation (although in NZ it could be a different case as they spend time at sea on a ship). Many speculate that the poor resale is caused by it's reputation (thanks to earlier models) and the fact Mitsubishi cut prices so often it wasn't funny - Cartman02au 23:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accuracy Problems 

message: "Prior to the Magna, Mitsubishi, as one of Australia's three automakers, did not field a large family car..." In 1984/85 (prior to the Magna), there were five auto makers in Australia (GM-H, Ford, Mitsubishi, Toyota and Nissan) - so I'm not sure what is meant here. Should the article be corrected to "five automakers" or, perhaps better still, to "...as one of Australia's three automakers that did not field..."? MurfleMan (talk) 06:28, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, the Sigma was almost the same size as the Magna.  And Volvo also made cars in Australia until 1987.123.3.22.185 (talk) 10:46, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
