1998 Mitsubishi RVR Sports Gear from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Too young to have faults.

Very comfortable, with plenty of seat adjustment.

The rear seats fold up and slide right forward (and right back) giving huge amount of floor storage space. Both rows of seats also fold right down to create beds for those who want to use the vehicle as a bedroom.

My model only has seatings for 4 which can be limiting at times. It just means I can't take all the grandchildren out for a drive at once.

The 4 speed tiptronic gearbox is great. However would have liked to have the 5 speed tiptronic box.

The four wheel drive gives great road grip.

The GDI motor has plenty of get up and go. Very close to the performance of my previous 2.5 V6 Legnum.

Good fuel economy, slightly better than the Legnum.

I tow a 16 foot caravan, and this vehicle handles it very well.

The vehicles multi communications system is simply awesome. Multi CD, cassette player, full digital audio control with EQ, fuel economy display, average speed, kilometers of fuel left in tank, compass and altimeter and GPS (unfortunately Japan only)

Storage compartments everywhere to hold those necessary bits and bobs.

Great road view from the higher vehicle.

I don't know whether to call it a 4 X 4 or SUV. It fits both categories.

Did your Multi Communications System come in the english version or did you have to get it converted from japanese.

If so, How do you upgrade it?

My Chariot Super Exceed has the Multi Communications System. but its all in Japanese?

Thanks

Hi.

I am about to buy an Mitsubishi RVR 96 model for a very reasonable price. Is there any advice on how expensive parts are and who would insure an imported vehicle as two companies have declined so far. Could you please reply to daddyc34@hotmail.com with any advice. Thanks

I have a 1998 RVR and have a annoying transmission judder which occurs at 42mph and then at +- 56mph. I have had my wheels balanced several times to no avail, have put new tyres on the vehicle, and still the problem persists.

Has anyone experienced this problem... could it be the torque converter?

Hi All - I have started an RVR Owners Forum - http://www.otsweb.net/rvr.

Very new, so please sign up to get some content and dicussion happening.

Torque converters have been known to give early trouble in some RVR's - could be the cause of transmission shudder?

HI, I have RVR 1997.And I am very happy about this car.

Does somebody know is it vehicle satisfies the criteria of to be four-wheel drive in Australia? Thanks.

I bought a 1998 RVR with a 1.8L GDI engine. I opened both the rear wheels to check for any defects. I noticed that the wheel bearings cap contained no grease, compared to that of my other car. Should it be like this or do I have to put extra grease in the cap?

Hi, would you recommend a Mitsubishi RVR? I am about to purchase a 1998 1800cc model. I would be interested in reliability of the vehicle, power etc.

Hi, I am thinking of buying a 2000 RVR 2.4 4x4, but would have a problem with the Multicommunication System which is all in Japanese. Is there an English version available for this?

Thanks for any help.
