2001 Mitsubishi Pajero GLX review from Israel
"Really Strong, "almost" perfectly comfortable,"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, this is my fault. I've switched to 4HHC mode (Locked AWD) while driving fast by mistake, this was enough to burn some chips inside there. Repairing cost was $600.
General comments?
I like it, but if you've read my Volvo 850 T5 review you'll know why I won't by another car from Mitsubishi or even another SUV, because I prefer sport sedans.
Comfort is well enough, but some poits I don't like about comfort features:
1) No electric seats.
2) Seats aren't really so soft.
Also what I was shocked is that they've removed the balance ball that was available in the cockpit in earlier models.
Engine and performance are really nice for a diesel engine, and fuel economy isn't that bad, really. (I haven't made my test for mileage yet)
Offroad performance is outstanding, actually I go to fields down my town often to play around with this thing, it's really the "King of desert". But the only thing I'd have suggested to guys at Mitsubishi was to raise the body two more inches up the ground.
Parking this vehicle is easy, it's really simple and straightforward compared to other 7-seat SUVs.
