1998 Mitsubishi L200 4 Life Double Cab review from UK and Ireland
"You just can't hate it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Back handle broke for the tailgate... was due to age and wear. Replaced easily.
General comments?
What a monster and a work horse. I am only 20 years old, but I prefer this to most of my previous vehicles. I am 6'5 and sit easily and comfortably behind the wheel... I normally had problems fitting behind the wheel of Japanese SUV and pick ups. Love the turbo diesel... a lot more torque and a lot quicker than our previous Land Rover Discovery.
I wasn't a fan of Japanese 4x4s, I use to think Land Rover built the best, but I am having problems supporting Land Rover against the Mitisubushi 4 Life pick up.
Very strong, we towed a Jaguar on a car trailer behind the Pick up with 8 tires in the back and it was easily doing 70-80 mph where the Discovery use to struggle.
