2001 Mitsubishi Strada review from Philippines
"A balance of power and economy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Body rattle noticeable when moving over rough terrain and pot-holes.
Paint is somewhat soft (easily scratched).
General comments?
Good off-road performance.
Accelerates pretty well, managed to push 160 kph after break-in (15,000 Km).
Stable even at high speeds.
Decent torque as long as the engine revs are kept high (turbo kicks in at about 2000 RPM).
Fuel efficient 2.5 diesel engine.
Somewhat cramped backseat space in the double cab.
