Mitsubishi was so confident its new 5 star rated SUV would kill anything thrown at it, they confidently plotted a course through sand, dirt, rock and gravel that most of us would have a hard time walking on. Firstly: Pajero Sport has nothing to do with Pajero, but rather replaces the aging Challenger in fairly spectacular style. The front end [...]
Yes yes yes, oh YES: comfy seats, loads of kit, 7 seats Oh dear me no: floaty drive, CVT in petrol model, a bit pricey We drove the ASX recently, then the Outlander straight after. it is often a mistake to take an older model before a newer model. It has the effect of making the old model feel very [...]
Yes yes yes, oh YES: space, comfort, fairly well equipped. Oh dear me no: Noisy tyres, ride too firm We drove both the LS FWD 2.0L petrol with CVT and the 6 speed auto XLS AWD 2.2L turbo diesel and one thing is clear, the recipe works. The GS platform is shared with many other models over several different brands [...]
Many people forget tradie’s utes are as much an SUV as they are work horses. With 6 of the top ten car makers being Japanese, it is no surprise Australian’s scoops up their SUVs like kids in a lollie shop. Mitsubishi’s best seller is the Triton twin cab. It has 4 seats, 5 if you’re all very good friends, and [...]
I’ve spent a bit of time in the Pajero before and enjoyed it, not because of what it was, but because of what it wasn’t. Let me explain: Most SUVs feel pretentious, especially the AWDs who think they stand a ghost of a change in a serious off-road beat-down. They have more front than Myer but little to back it [...]
YES YES YES: sexy exterior, roomy interior, feels solid Oh Dear Me No: interior from another era, gadgets falls short of market expectations When I say cheap, I mean the fuel goes a long way but at $73,990 plus on-roads it will cost a bit to own one. The Pajero is a proper 4WD not just a mere soft [...]
Brembo Brakes left,Leather Recaro Seats middle, TC SST double clutch auto Like: aggressive looks, stunning performance, AWD, sweet engine, super smooth auto(double clutch) gearbox Not so much: interior looking a bit tired, fuel consumption, ride too firm for some Outside: The Lancer Evolution is in the 10th generation which Mitsubishi decided wouldn’t be numbered as previous Evolutions, but within [...]
ASX: A Cute Pint Sized SUV From Mistsubishi We tested the Peugeot 4008, the stable mate of the ASX earlier in the year and liked it very much. We thought it perfectly suited the active lifestyle with a rear cargo area is lined with material that laughs off wet clothes and leather-clad seating that wipes over after the weekend’s [...]
Nifty Lancer Hatch cargo space left and alloys right LX badge left and reverse camera right Lancer: The Mainstay Mitsubishi The Lancer name has been with us for many decades with the current shape since 2007. That means we’re heading for a new model sometime over the next few years. Mitsubishi has given the range a bit [...]
ABOVE:- A glorious week with two of our favourite cars. C30 and Evo BELOW:- the boot has the DoofDoof unit in it. 2012 Lancer Evolution X MR (note:- a full review to follow soon of the upgraded 2013 model) What an absolute pearler! It’s handsome, it’s hunky and hot. The Lancer Evolution is known for her friskiness but that’s [...]
