2001 Mitsubishi Pajero GLX from Israel - Comments

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.

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.

After reading through your Pajero review I was confused as to why you said you would not buy another Mitsubishi again. This is in view of the fact that you pretty much praised the car.

Subsequently, I went and found your Volvo T5 review you said that by reading that review we would understand why you would not buy a Mitsubishi again. Your Volvo T5 has suffered:

Gearbox is dying, reverse noisily slips.

Front side, Back reverse left and two spoiler lamps failed.

Trip odometer failed.

ABS system failed.

In addition to the failures your Volvo has incurred you also failed to state what was so wrong with your Mitsubishi that you would not buy another one again. If you are going to attack a manufacturer at least provide a reason.

I agree.

I agree with the previous comments, lets be objective in what we say about a product and give reasonable justifications as to why we would prefer or not prefer a given model, our comments go a long way in helping many make decisions on what to buy and what not to, so if we wanna trash something, lets give concrete reasons why, if not, wed rather just read and not comment. I personally am interested in the car and do not see why I shouldn't buy the Pajero based on the first review above. (Mike Odhiambo)
