1999 Mitsubishi L400 review from UK and Ireland
"Tough, fast and dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing apart from normal wear and tear items.
Tyres last well, and the engine and transmission need only the usual services at 3-4K.
General comments?
Having owned just about every make of van over the last fifteen years, I have settled on the L400 as the fastest, most powerful and doggedly tough van there is. It has been given dogs abuse since we got it, as was the last L400 we had, and it just plows on.
It has so much power, overtaking is no problem, even fully loaded, and the engine is like a turbine. I had a 2 Hiaces before the first L400, and the L400 is a better van, better finished, tighter to drive, and more power altogether. The Hiace is tough, but the L400 is tougher.
We cut concrete for a living, and the van is always heavily loaded, but nothing seems to hold it back.
