2007 Mitsubishi Nativa GLS review from United Arab Emirates
"Good value for money, well built, but compromises on performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet exept a tiny air bubble mark at the door frame.so the paint is a litle chipped there.
General comments?
I read bad and good reviews about the car. I was in the market for a family size SUV and my old Mercedes just gave up the ghost in he hottest month of the year. So, in a fit of rage, I decided to upgrade and my budget was small. Finaly between a Kia Sportage and a Mitsubishi Nativa. I trusted the japanese reputation VS the new kid in the block. My comments are: true the car is slow, true the car is petrol thirsty and
noisy at high speed on the motorway. True the car design is old fshioned and true the car interior feels cheap because of the excessive use of plastic. However, the car is very well priced for its category and it is a true offRoad vehicle. It's got heaps of space and makes me feel safe driving it. If you want speed, you get a Cayenne, if you want looks, you get the Explorer, if you want class you get Range Rover, but if you want a affordable car that rides like a truck, but is tough as a nail. this is the one for you. I t also has ABS with EBS and dual Airbgs, as we have a little child, this was the selling point for the car. I initially wanted a pajero, but the new model is pricy and the basic Model does not have ABS.
