I have owned several Mitsubishi cars over the years and the engines have been pretty much bulletproof, this engine is an all aluminium lump so perhaps it doesn't have the same longevity of older engines, any info appreciated ☺️

107bhp isn’t massive for a 1.5. They don’t feel overly fast. The brother had one before and had no problems.
