Rubbish

Faults:

Stuck in 4WD at 19000KM. Main dealer had the car for 2 months, drove off the forecourt and shifted to 4WD, and it stuck again. Dealer had the car for another week. Covered under warranty.

Hose blew on the turbo at 27000KM. Covered under warranty.

Cylinder head cracked at 58000KM. Out of warranty. No comeback from Mitsubishi. 3200 Euro.

Oil pump gone at 59000KM. 690 Euro.

Stuck in 4WD again at 70000Km. 2000 Euro.

General Comments:

When it works I love it, but the amount of trouble I have had with it, I just hate it.

They fixed all the faults from the older model e.g. economy, turning circle, and rear seats, but the reliability has gone.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have a 60 plate Barbarian. This vehicle would not tow 2000kg and certainly nowhere near the manufacturer's claims. The gearbox oil would overheat and the car would lock in 3rd gear.

After 2 years of problems when towing, finally Mitsubishi caved in and fitted a transmission oil cooler.

We also have a 60 plate manual Warrior, which is also showing gearbox problems and will not change down from 3rd to 2nd. Previously had Rangers that cost almost half the price and never had a problem.

Both vehicles serviced religiously and well looked after; one owner driver. Would never buy another; they're overrated and over priced.

The Barbarian has just blown a hose on the intercooler to the turbo. Time to go.

Summary:

Wouldn't buy another L200

Faults:

Turbo pipe has worked it's way loose 4 times in as many months. First time Mitsubishi road side assist 'fixed' it. I fixed it the second time. Third time the garage replaced the pipe. Fourth time a Mitsubishi roadside fixed it.

The problem is the jubilee clip works loose and the pipe disconnects causing major lose of power.

General Comments:

Other than the problem with the turbo pipe, very happy with the L200 animal. Seats 5 very well and plenty of room in the back for work 'stuff'

Good layout in the cabin and plenty of extras.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

New shape Animal L200

We had one problem 1 week after purchase, and that was the jubilee click came totally off, and then a loss of power. We limped the car home, and road side assistance fixed the problem, but then we have had several problems with the vehicle misfiring. Mitsubishi have disconnected the power upgrade, which was 2 months ago, and still the vehicle is misfiring. The dealers are good, but after going into the garage 6 times with the same problem, it's becoming a pain. We would not now buy any automatic vehicle from Mitsubishi.
