Mitsubishi Pajero 4x4 Import

One of my all time favourite cars is the Mitsubishi Pajero. This is really a Shogun, but the Pajero is the imported version, and mine came from Japan when it was five years old. It was a 2.5 litre, intercooled, turbo, diesel, Wagon R. Often referred to as a seven-seater station wagon, and, although they look primitive and boxy compared to their newer cousins, they seem more economical then any of the later models. Economy is not a word you should worry about if you're thinking of buying one of these monsters. There's no doubt that driving a gas-guzzler like this puts you on the same social ... more

Avid reader.... You will of course know my style by now, and understand that I get a little overenthusiastic about the toys that I buy. However... This time I waited a while before writing my review, but can still say that this IS a FANTASTIC car! Let's start with why you should buy the Imported Pajero rather than it's English cousin the Shogun... First you have to understand *why* there are so many Pajero's in the UK. This started back in the early nineties when the only decent 4x4's you could get were imports (other than Land Rover/Range Rover's), and normally an imported car would need ... more

This is the fist 4 x 4 I have ever owned - not a new one its 14 years old!! a Japanese import in immaculate condition with only 50000 kilometres on the clock. It is a 2.5 inter cooler and has so many extras compared to standard British cars I just couldn't believe it. Air conditioning/climate control, central locking, cd player, and so many gadets I've still not used them all the dashboard looks like an aeroplanes flight deck !!! Fully electric windows, electric heated mirrors that fold in when parking or going through narrow gaps - great. Sun roof, adjustable suspension, seat memory, alloy ... more

I have a 2.8 exceed on an N plate it was bought several years ago to replace a J plate 2.5 which was just a little underpowered but I did not notice until I bought this one! It costs £88 to fill the diesel tank from empty (tesco price £0.91 per litre) The servicing costs have been very good, on a par with a Vauxhall Combo van we also have. MPG? best yet 30/32 to the gallon generally 28MPG even with a trailer fully loaded 1 to 2 tons its still in the high 20's Now before any tree huggers start tutting, we use this PaJero as the family transport and workhorse and I sold my thirsty Transit van ... more

The best car ever! So much power. If you are looking for a powerful car that can last the way, this is the one. I have had not once any mechanical or electronic trouble with this vehicle. The only disadvantage I can see is the sheer size of it - not ideal for innercity parking problems and also the cost of parts ... Unfortunately, reverse and wing mirrors as well as reverse light and many other removable external parts seem to be on the top of every vandals/car thiefs wishlist. But that is obviously no fault of the manufacturer! Other than that: it has masses of space which makes it absolutely ... more
