Alignment is never guaranteed to last over 1 month.
When buying an SUV, you can't expect a sports car feel. With the Nativa however, despite is sluggish acceleration compared to a higher end Murano, it corners like a Motorbike on crack. When taking highway loops in speeds in excess of 120KMPH you feel like a rock star when your passengers go oooh and aaah at it’s handsome agility.
It takes on rough terrain like a duck to water, not so smoothly though, you can prepare to be jolted at average speeds when hitting uneven rocks etc.
The lows of this vehicle are that the interior is as drab as drab can be. The front grille is atrociously designed, I plan to replace it with the 2007 grille which is quite attractive.
The seats are comfortable enough to cushion your rear end comfortably for long trips. Lumbar support is adequate.
The suspension is tight, and rightfully so. Although not the most comfortable ride on earth, passengers feel very comfortable in the cabin which is surprisingly well laid out and spacious.
The engine is not your best friend, because it doesn’t respond at your beck and call. What it does lack in high end torque is compensated with terrific off road performance when the 4x4 is engaged. It becomes a little monster rock crawler with perfect amounts of torque distributed with precision.
I knew exactly what I was getting when I purchased the Nativa, and am very happy with my decision to buy one.
I have a problem with my Mitsubishi 2004 model, 110 tkms already, automatic transmission. My problem is the light indicator of 4x4 in the dash board are sometimes lights on and off. I don't know where exactly the problem is after replacing the speed sensor of the transmission. Thanks in advance for your help. My e-mail address is longpogie@yahoo.com.
