The MITSUBISHI CARISMA (2000-04) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 GDI SPORT is a practical, five-door family hatchback from the early 2000s. In the UK it sits among sensible, spacious alternatives to mainstream choices such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, offering useful everyday transport rather than fashionable styling or sporty-car performance. The available mycarcheck.com picture is very small: one check covering one car, so its figures are a snapshot, not a reliable model-wide guide. That record showed an average private-sale valuation of £200, 100,000 miles, 13,000 miles a year and four previous keepers; condition and history can change value considerably. With its roomy cabin, rear access and hatchback layout, the Carisma suits commuters or families wanting affordable, uncomplicated transport. The 1.8 GDI Sport can feel livelier than basic versions too, while its appeal is value and practicality; compare service records, costs and condition with Focus and Astra examples before buying.
