1989 Mitsubishi Pajero exceed review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cofortable, quick, but makes a horror story Discovery look reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Consider this: I paid $18000NZD, spent $54000NZD on repairs then sold the car $for 5000NZD. It blew 7 heads, 2 blocks and head gaskets by the truckload.
Atleast parts are cheap!
General comments?
It was comfy, it would seat 7 in comfort.
I clocked it at 165kph.
The engine was revvy so performance was good.
Handling, by 80's SUV standards was surprisingly good, take note landrover.
The radio was not wprth stealing because unless you happened to have a high specced japanese import, the radio (bigger than the glovebox almost!) would not fit your car.
