Mitsubishi Nimbus Review, For Sale, Specs & News in Australia

$2,530

Launched in Australia in 1984, the Mitsubishi Nimbus carved out a niche as one of the country’s earliest compact people movers. Based on the front-wheel-drive Sigma platform, the Nimbus offered seating for up to seven, clever packaging and impressive fuel economy — traits that resonated with growing families looking for an alternative to traditional wagons.

Three generations were sold locally before the model was quietly discontinued in 2003. Mitsubishi updated the Nimbus over the years with improved safety, a more refined ride and sliding rear doors for easier access. Its reputation for reliability, combined with relatively low running costs, helped it maintain a loyal following during its nearly 20-year run.

In overseas markets, the Nimbus was known as the Mitsubishi Chariot, while badge-engineered versions included the Dodge and Plymouth Colt Vista in North America. Though now long retired, the Nimbus played a key role in shaping the people mover segment in Australia.

The line-up currently starts at $2,530 for the Nimbus (base) and ranges through to $4,180 for the range-topping Nimbus (base).

Mitsubishi Nimbus FAQs

Mitsubishi Nimbus engine mount

You could raise the idle speed a little, as that seems to fix it given that it's not evident in "Park". Other than that do what your mechanic has suggested and have him check the engine mounts.
