Good vehicle overall, this is my 3rd Pajero. Mitsubishi are very poor on the service/warranty issue, they always pass the buck back to the dealer, instead of dealing with it themselves. A lot of the times the dealerships are not up with the new vehicle technology but isn't on passing it back to the dealers. Mitsubishi, if they are worth their salt should be chasing me up to sort this, but I just keep getting fobbed off at a local level.
Car like driving, very quick point to point vehicle. Excellent fuel economy (8.6L/100Kms). Good off road perf...Read more

I have had 3 Pajero of different models up the NM 3.5 Litre Exceed Auto in white with sand upholstery that I find the best of the bread that I have owned. I am told by older gents in the service industry NOT to let this 4X4 out of my hands. They all say it one of the best and should be maintained without replacement. I must admit I had problems with warped brake disks in past models owned. This one doesn't have that or any long term problems It is probably the best 4x4 I have owned or driven!!
This has to be one of the best vehicles I have ever...Read more

This will be the first and last Pajero. Should have purchased a Prado. I will not listen to my wife again for it was she who liked the Pajero.
I have a 2004 Pajero Exceed 3200 turbo diesel. It has a great engine and pulls our caravan as though the van is not behind the car. A little heavy on the fuel consumption either with the van connected or without. Has great pick up and going up hills with the van connected (and we have done some big hills on this holiday) feels as though it is a V8. It is a very comfortable vehicle and well appointed.

We intended to purchase a new car this year as we have just purchase our new Corrimal caravan. One thing for sure is it won't be a Mitsubishi.
We have owned a NM series Pajero for 5 years. Over 100,000km towing a caravan throughout Australia. Has never had a major problem.
Service. No major problems with the car however took 3 service visits and 6 months to find out the whineing noise which came in at 60 to 80 kph was a faulty power steering unit. Then there was the inability to return to 2 wheel drive when travelling on the highway. We were to...Read more

Great, great, great! This car is rewarding is driven the right. I'm not a lead foot, I don't trash my car. Therefore, hopefully, this will benefit me and my family in the future. Thank you Mitsubishi!
I just got the 2003 NP Pajero Exceed yesterday and to tell you the truth, it drives like a dream, even though it has just over 130,000km on the clock. Higher vantage point, therefore, you can see pretty much everything. Car like handling, although not as light. What can you say? Its, a 4x4. Luxurious inside. My family will love it. Standard stereo...Read more

Overall, this is a very quality car which is reliable and long lasting. Have had one for over five years and it still looks as new, and works as new. It is a luxurious but can be used for just about everything - including camping, towing, or just driving around town. Trustworthy vehicle with only a few minor problems with the extra features inside the car but mostly okay.
Very Modern looking, inside and out. Quality product for families, good on road and off road. Very spacious and roomy, very luxurious. Very comfortable insie, even with a whol...Read more

This is my 9th pajero. Owned landcruisers and hiluxes and for the price you can't compare them. The pajero goes anywhere you point it, and with good tyres, a snorkel, lift kit and winch bar your 4WDing experiences are fantastic! Some issues with lighter runnning gear-but all late model 4WD's have similar problems. And whats broken can be fixed. On the road, comfort is above the rest. Here in NZ, Mitsi service is great. Will keep buying them until toyotas are reasonably priced!
Good looking 4WD. Rides well on and off road, and very capable off r...Read more

Just an update to the below, as the comment screen disappeared, and I was typing blind!

As I say, I love this car, but there are all sorts of issues that you may want to be aware of:

The stability control turning itself back on once you reach 80 km/h is really annoying on the beach, and indeed dangerous if someone is fair up your date and doesn't expect you to suddenly (and involuntarily!) slow in loose sand, when you should be accelerating.

Fuel consumption for petrol engines is terrible – allow 18 litres per 100 km around town, but a...Read more

We bought a Pajero GLS MY2005 (diesel) last year and it is by far the best vehicle we have ever owned. Our four kids fit in very easily and comfortably. The privacy tints make it a very pleasant and cool car for passengers to travel in. I find it very hard to believe how economical it is to run. Mind you, I would assume that most diesel vehicles are like that. My husband thought it would be noisy to travel in due to the diesel engine but I have to say I have not noticed it at all. I LOVE the fact the rear seats fold into the floor. My husband l...Read more

I have Mitsubishi in general for the last 4 years. I had never had any major problems which would change my mind about this car. Great for value and performance. I drove Pajero only 1 year, and very happy with my purchase. A little bit expensive on petrol, but it cost to drive such kind of truck. Found Pajero built better the Toyota RAV4, especially inside plastic. Toyota is too noisy. If you are looking for a big family truck I think the Pajero is reasonable priced and perfectly built one.

Great, practical, good-looking car. Perfect for long trips and in the front you have so much space to yourself you can really stretch out in comfort. I have an Exceed and the luxury touches are smart. Been off-road to some not too crazy spots but it handles everything easily so you just know this can handle the rough stuff.
I'm going to keep this for some time and I'm a fan of Mitsubishi now.
Ride is quite 'car like'. Visibility - great at the front, takes a bit of getting used to reversing. Comfort - seats are really comfortable as a driver o...Read more

Great car for the price, with parts easily accessible because the cars are made here in Australia. A nice looking and safe 4WD.
This is a very comfortable vehicle to drive, and is especially great for families with young children, as capsules and car seats fit in perfectly to the second row of seats. The vehicle is fitted with items that help out families on long journeys - drink holders, fold down arm rests and comfortable seats. We have found very little road noise when on long journeys.
If you use a cargo barrier between the second and third...Read more
