2001 Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin equippe review from UK and Ireland
"High priced new. low resale value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Reliable? yes. but that's all its got going for it.
Needs servicing every 5000 miles.
Needs petrol every 60 miles with a ten pound note along with it.
The most uncomfortable car you are every likely to drive.
General comments?
Usual Mitsibushi engineering. reliable starts first time etc etc.
I would describe this car as a tar-dis in reverse. (looks big from outside, but no room at all when you get inside) and I mean NO ROOM.
This car cost me to buy in 2001 £ 13500.00.
This car attracted the handsome trade in price in 2003 (two years later) £ 6000.00 now I know cars depreciate as soon as you get them, BUT.
Very costly to keep this car with a service needing done every 5000 miles.
Good four wheel drive? only when you look at it from outside, as it looks good and like a proper 4x4 should look.
Get inside and it is a very different story.
You feel EVERY bump, and that's even on a flat pot-hole free road.
The only words I feel sum up this car are (wee pretend jeep)
Buy one if you really like its looks etc.
But don't say you haven't been informed.
