2007 Mitsubishi Nativa review from United Arab Emirates
"A good workhorse with no frills"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had a problem with the wheel bearing, which was a reason for my displeasure with the agent of Mitsubishi - it was under their service until 40000kms, and still they could not find out the cause.
A local garage mechanic drove it for 50 metres and pinpointed the fault exactly, opened the wheels and showed me the damage that had caused an uncomfortable ride.
General comments?
Overall I am very satisfied with this car.
Fuel efficiency is good if you do not exceed 90kmph on highways.
Had a lot of noise, which disappeared once I changed the tires to straight groove rather than rough terrain tyres. The original ones were rough terrain when I bought it new.
Handling is good, A/C efficient - a plus in Middle Eastern weather.
Comfortable and safe. The seats are good, and I love them, especially as I had a backache earlier.
