Hi

Looking at purchasing another car and was wondering if any reliability issues have surfaced on the 380?.

TIA

Mine's ticked over 46,000kms (series 1 VRX) and neither myself or the previous owner have had an issue.

Nothing to report here either. Going great.
Mine's 2.5 years old with 42,000kms (I've had it since 1,300kms).

We clicked over 80k in the VRX,lhr window regulator,fixed under warranty,no biggie.They are a great car,2 of our friends have brought them since we got ours.Search around,go to the mitsu aust site they have a list of Warranty restart cars.

05 Base model. just clocked the big 100000 this week end. Only drama has been the two rear window regs but as discussed in prevoius thread fixed on warranty with no hassles.

Wished they still made them as in dont know what to get next.

would recomend them to everyone. good prices going at the moment for very low kms cars

Yep, A dealer in Port Macquarie has been advertising on TV a bunch of 2007 380's going for $14,000, dunno if thats cheap but they were making a fuss about it on the tv adlol

Series 1 here also, 34,000kms ... only issue i've had is the lights around the shifter have blown twice - replaced under warranty. Also my interior fan was noisy so they replaced that for me. Love the car :)

EDIT: International Member .... you might have access to a Galant or a Diamante?

We've had our Series II Platinum for nearly two years and going strong. Only thing that has happened is the rear wing keeps coming away from the boot lid. Other than that she's been a great car!!

Had the 380 VRX for 61000 kays and the only issue ever under warranty was excessive wind noise around the drivers side A pillar. Replaced seals under warranty and all was good.

Was the best put together car I ever owned......just not quite quick enough :D
