Bought new 15 months ago & now have 20K km on clock. Never been off road, so can't comment on that aspect.
Use it to tow Cruiseliner caravan & as daily driver. Performs those tasks with ease.
Dealer servicing only average.
Problems are with Communication System. Bluetooth with iPhone 5 fails regularly. Maps & GPS are worse than hopeless. The GPS is so bad, I would almost rate it as dangerous.
Vehicle is noisy at highway speed. Speedo is difficult to read. Spare tyre position is an issue with nearly all towing situations.
Despite the abov...Read more

We have had our Pajero for almost 2years from brand new. The car was brought for my husband until it become the family car I drove as it was a safer car. I was hesitate at first not wanting such a big car but it is a joy to drive and the extra features like the reversing camera make it feel like a much more manageable car. In comparison to other cars in its range I found the features for the Pajero were over and above the competition especially in comparison to price.

We had capped price servicing however especially with Mitsubishi being so ...Read more

I have a custom fitted Pajero 2012 (best equipped model) and lives in Scandinavia. Both the middle and rear row seats are taken out and a flat floor for goods are fitted. I also have a 3-way electrical lift capable of 150kgs mounted. It can fit my recumbent trike without me having to take it apart. If needed, a wheelchair (wheels off tough) luggage for three weeks and there is still room left. So far I have driven it approx. 65000kms with no major issues. A bit noise, but it doesn't disturb me - kind of like it! Car is happy on dirt road...Read more

I purchased a Pajero NW VRX 3.2L Diesel in 2014 – after 12 months and 45,000km travelling around Australia, off-road for about 4000km including Birdsville, Strzelecki, Oodnadatta tracks, Gibb River Road in WA plus others and traversing the Nullarbor (Nullarbor is just a big highway now), below are what I believe to be the top POSITIVES and NEGATIVES. Hope its of some use.

POSITIVES
1) Price – I was able to get one that was the last on the showroom. While it wasn’t my colour choice (white but at least it wasn’t grey) it did come with a $4000...Read more

After only 6 000 km, I can say that in general it is a good car.
What I don't like.
Although they say that the car has improved noise insulation, the diesel engine is very annoying.
The position of the steering wheel cannot be controled horizontally. Very uncomfortable for tall people like me.
The steering wheel itself is a bit "softer" than I am used to it, especially at higher speeds.
The seats are awful, really. Very bad side support. People saying the opposite, have never tryied real good seat.
The engine and the gearbox are doing...Read more

Last year when I was on the hunt for a vehicle to replace my 2006 NP I was reluctant to consider another Paj as there had been no significant upgrades since my old one. It was then pointed out "if something ain't broke" and as I couldn't find a viable alternative (Prado too slow, Jeep - too small and everything else going so soft road) I decided I couldn't really go wrong.
First a couple of pleasant surprises: Quieter - MUCH quieter than my old Paj. MUCH better headlights - no need for spots. Fixed the problem with sun visor not covering all...Read more

I have been a Toyota person for many years now. I really struggled to make this choice, I drove the Pajero and loved it after owning and test driving the Toyota Prado..
I bought a 2014 VR-X and it is wonderful. The only criticism is that the styling is a bit old but it gives excellent vision. It is possibly not as refined and quiet as some other cars but with the huge savings when compared to its rival. Extra insulation kits can be purchased to make it pin drop quiet. The tow bar rear door issue is overcome with a spare wheel lift kit (dealer ...Read more

Bought my GLX-R in Sept 2013 for $48,990. Probably the best price I could find in Aust. New, very happy with price and car. Done 8,000km, averaging just under 10L around town and better on highway trips. Just wanted a safe large wagon, towing and some off road. Not much to fault on the car, my wife and I get static electricity every time we get out of the car, I'd probably prefer a manual as I have never driven an auto off road, but the price was a big incentive. The glove box book is very poor on info about driving off road, but I might just h...Read more

We got our Exceed early this year and it has been great! We bought it as a demo (16,000km) but it's still like brand new. It's a very comfortable drive, has enough power at take off and steering isn't to bad either, it's also very good on fuel! The few problems that I would have to have is the 3rd row seats, they are a pain to take out, they don't split! Also there not very wide. My other problem is with the MMCS, it doesn't do half the things it says it does in the handbook. But overall it's such a great car, good to drive, good amount of feat...Read more

I recently bought a Pajero VR-X 2014. Had this vehicle for about 4 months. I have had Toyotas and Nissans in the past but none of them compare to the Pajero. This vehicle definitely lives up to Mitsubishis claims. It has a lot of power, drives like a sedan (none of that annoying role) the seats are very comfortable, the vision from every seating position is amazing (great for short people and kids ) and compared to it's competitors it is very well priced. Would not hesitate in buying another one. I do a lot a freeway driving and I am averaging...Read more

I don't own a Pajero at the moment, but I have been doing a lot of research on the vehicle before I buy one. I have recently been for a test drive in a 2013 VRX and I just loved it. Plenty of power, smooth transmission and it just drove like a car. To be picky only, the diesel motor may have more noise compared to other brands, but when you're driving a 2001 3.0 turbo diesel Hilux, the Pajero is a quiet motor. I'm looking to purchase a Pajero (preferable VRX) and I have enjoyed reading all the comments about peoples Pajeros, and it get me a lit...Read more

I just bought a 2013 VRX diesel. It is extremely economical and very quiet at freeway speeds. No noisier than petrol. I've had them all Patrol 3 litre T/D, Landcruiser 4.5, earlier Pajero 3.8 petrol, etc and this car creams them. I love driving it. It has typical diesel engine noise in lower gears but really it's not intrusive at all. It is smooth and well optioned. So far I get about 8.5L/100km @100kph and will get at least 900k's on a trip. I tried the new Kia Sorento too, it's nice and the motor is sweet, but I kept coming back to the Pajero...Read more

This is our third Pajero and I am still rapped with the car. We live in the country and do a lot of off road driving and driving in sand. Pajero handles brilliantly. Fuel consumption is not as good as Mitsubishi claims, but is still excellent. Storage capacity is exceptional because the there is no slope to the back cargo area, so I can fit 2+ storage boxes high in for long trips. Could easily fit three car seats in back too.
Never have any problem parking in city and no blind spot issues. Only problem with Pajero is that it leaks dust. It's b...Read more
