2006 Mitsubishi Nativa 3 review from Fiji Islands
"An absolutely horrible investment!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The steering wheel wobbles whenever I hit 80ks and over. It is so uncomfortable on gravel roads.
General comments?
The Mitsubishi Nativa is a great car in terms of its exterior design and fuel efficiency. However, is it a horrible investment!
When I bought my car, the dealer installed an alarm system. Less than a year down the line and the alarm gave up. When I went to see the man that installed the alarm system, I was very disappointed that the Mitsubishi dealer that sold me the brand new Nativa had hired a dingy, uncertified, unregistered, illegally operating mechanic to install the cheap, useless alarm that came complimentary.
The Nativa is a very uncomfortable SUV to be in when going off road. Every pot hole feels like a trench. I think the engineers of the car gave up comfortability to have style. The wheels buckle easily and the pick up on speed is absolutely pathetic! I' am so disappointed at the Nativa and cannot wait to go back to Toyota! I've heard good things about the later model Nativa (2009), however, my first impression when looking at it is, PLASTIC!! KNOCKOFF SUV!!
DO NOT BUY NATIVAS!! WASTE OF MONEY!
