2000 Mitsubishi Strada Rodeo review from South Africa
"A wonderful 4x4 marred by unreliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have had to replace the differential centerpiece three times.
Central locking is faulty.
Low range selection packed up.
Front suspension bush on the Pitman arm failed three times.
Constant hum from drive-train.
Car broke down when the engine got wet - replaced the ignition module.
General comments?
Good 4X4 off-road. Comfortable on the highway. Poor mechanicals.
