Since new, my 2003 DID Pajero hasn’t missed a beat. I bought it so I could access my block on a very rough road and also commute on the freeway. I’ve never had any problems with power needed for overtaking because I’m not a leadfoot and drive with the conditions and work the traffice densities sensibly. If wanted to dodge around the road I’d get a sportscar that’s what they are built for. I like the distinctive motor noise and if you want to deaden it just get some more insulation. The only fault I can find is that the driver’s seat doesn’t come forward enough for my wife, with short, but beautiful, legs, so on a long drive it’s uncomfortable for her. I note the driver’s seat on the later Pajero models go forward a lot more so I’m angling to get a trade in.

Have just read ALL the comments,And have also still regretting selling my NJ 2.8ltr T/Diesel with 320k on clock,still has original clutch etc,Serviced every 5k klms,Never had an issue except changed Glow plugs once and front disc rotors.That 4×4 was by far the most reliable and best car I”ve ever owned,Heaps of power on or off road,Can”t believe I sold it,Int/exterior still like new,Wish I still had it and would love another DIESEL Pajero,They are Brilliant,

You are a tosser mate. We pull a horse float up a range with our 2007 3.2 DID all the time no problems, in fact pulls uphill better than a friends petrol cruiser with float on. Also don’t find the engine noise an issue.

Hey Guys

I have this car in the petrol version…It is awesome I take it to Fraser Island at least 3 times a year plus trips to bribie Island once a month and the only trouble I have had is that the clutch went at 65k. This is common on This pajero but with a heavy duty clutch it is still powering through the tracks

The general theme here seems to be the amount of noise and lack of performance from the diesel engine and I have to agree: I have test driven several Pajeros over the last few years and the result has always been the same – too much engine noise in the cabin! I didn’t think the vehicles were sluggish [on the road] but it wasn’t until around the 80 to 100kph mark that the wind noise started to drown out the clatter from the engine to an acceptable level and this just put me right off. I plan to try a petrol one in the next few days to see if it is any better; I would happily pay for a bit more fuel if it means a quieter more responsive drive and besides, the money that I will save on the inital purchase price [compared to the diesel] will buy a lot of petrol!

I still like the Disco 3 and 4 too but they are more expensive and from what I’ve read, not all that reliable…

To think I respected so much your car advice reviews and nearly did not buy because of your article on the 2008 Pajero. Have just purchased 2008 3.2 Diesel (SWB VRX) with only 20K on the clock and on the second day drove it from Melbourne to Hervay Bay QLD. Truely outstanding performance along with 9.4Litres per 100KLM, even from a standing start or passing at 110KLM have not taken the smirk off my face. I now have comfort, performance and economy no thanks to highly incorrect article.

My neighbour who has one and I have also driven has just come back from a trip away and averaged 10.2L per 100, brilliant. Start pushing any vehicle well over 100k and its going to drink it, your comment abit unfair, anything above that and you claim 13/14 ??????? Once again do that to any vehicle and what do you expect ?? A slug over taking ?? Try driving a 2.8D toyota hilux then you will know what a slug is. Did you just jump out of a 6L chev (commodore)then jumped in the pajero ?? It seems like it, and no Im not biased I dont even own a pajero, I own a prado T/D and wouldnt hesitate buying a Mitsibishi Pajero DID for my next vehicle
