1987 Mitsubishi Pajero review from Australia and New Zealand
"This Pajero is still great overall 4x4 vehicle, even though the design is 20 years old"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power steering developed a small leak.
The engine was fully reconditioned at about 235,000 k's by the previous owner.
General comments?
There is great driver visibility.
The vehicle performs very well in rugged off road conditions.
This Pajero has excellent pulling power and traction in low range, and is able to haul heavy trailer loads out of steep positions.
For a reasonably compact car, it has loads of usable space and great storage capacity.
The none-rack and pinion steering is a bit vague on the open road.
The overall gearing ratio means the engine is a bit busy at 100kph.
