I was working for a Mits dealership when this body shape was new. I liked them, roomy, comfy, quiet. I looked around for a 4 cyl one as a commuter. Hard to come by.

This thread has 2 of my favorite things. Mitsys and Toranas! I too was working for Mitsubishi when those models were new. TE Magna on were an under rated car. Do you have an AWD one? They were great to drive.
