hello sir,

Yes, this model may have the heritage of using the Pajero name but i wont recommend the purchase of this model. here is why:

The fuel consumption may be a slight improvement over the Galant 2.0 Super Saloon (1995 - 2002 7th Gen/8th Gen) but the durability of the Gasoline Direct Injection is questionable which is why it was not introduced here by Mitsubishi Motors Phils Corp in the first place. Also, this technology is not a primary focus of Mitsubishi as well. This engine, which i presume is the 4G94, was not marketed here and there may not be parts available for this.

This is a model that didnt make it on sale not only in the Philippines but in developing ASEAN countries as well. so getting surplus parts as well will be a challenge.

i hope that that the abovementioned would be reason enough for you to change your mind.

*ianmitsulancer, thanks sir for the informative feedback,

So you mean it doesnt really belong to the pajero heritage, but just a variation of the pajero line? sayang ganda pa naman ng porma,

So i guess the IO is out, how about yung mga pajero 3dr or jr, are they the same? the same engine din kaya?

I always have the impression that pajero's are reliable vehicles, i guess you really have to know which one, sobra kasi dami nila variations...

It is a variation of the Pajero line po... the iO- which is about the size of the Vitara is one step bigger than the Pajero Mini/Jr which have 1.1 or even 0.8 liter engines!

I suggest you go for the real sized Pajeros starting with the FieldMaster body in 2.5 or 2.8 turbo intercooler diesels. much better if it is made for the philippine market but be picky of RHD converts.

You may want to consider the L200/Strada as well.
