- WHY ARE CARS SO D*MN EXPENSIVE?! Enter the 2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, a cheap 7 seat Japanese off-road SUV - but is it any good??
Today we look at the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, a Ute (truck) based SUV that promises a lot for little. It can go offroad with a front and rear differential, Japanese reliability, an ancient interior, a decent exterior, and 10-year warranty! So should you buy one of Australia's cheapest 7-seat 4x4 SUVs? Let's talk about that!

That’s the most durable and reasonably priced suv
Mitsubishi is making its way back to the market. We are seeing so many of them in North America too. Bought a Mitsubishi outlander this year and i cant get enough of this vehicle!❤
A great followup to your mid-2020 review of the Pajero Sport Exceed. I bought one after watching your review and it's the most practical & fun 4WD i've owned. Perfect for weekend trips to Bunnings or for family holidays down south (WA) driving along the sand tracks & beaches. Glad to hear you (and your mum) still enjoy this car too!
These vehicles are excellent and the 4High feature for safer highway driving in poor conditions is unbeatable.
Ex SV6 VF2 Commodore Sportwagon owner and loved the car. Due to we are now towing a camper bought a GSR Diamond White Paj Sport and took delivery in April 2022. May did 6,900km in the NT with some friends and cannot complain. Not perfect but it did the job. Main reason I went for it was that it had a real 4WD system unlike most of its competitors. Comfortable and pretty economical. All these Toorak Tractors are much alike. I think of it as a tool I need for what I need it for and I loved the price.
You two fellas make me laugh 😆 Looking to get one of these, great review & thank you for it !
Welcome back boys good to see you both especially you MATTHEW lol what’s wrong with the 80’s 😂 😂 you boys are due for another live again 😊
Good review! Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is a value for money, Off-Road capable, 4WD Wagon with proper 7 seats. The Pajero Sport is reliable.
Can you please do a review on the Toyota Fortuner.
Great review ...in the end.... in spite of what appears to be occasional uncontrollable urges to go into verbal diarrhea mode you gave a pretty frank and worthwhile assessment of the car I have on order - except I have ordered the 5 seater GLX so I wont have to be traumatised by having to move the third row seats -unfortunately its only the poverty pack that offers the 5 seater -the lower boot space AND extra space freed up is a win win for anyone who does need to carry more than 5 humans. Great to see you give it some herbs as we don't all drive like grey nomads. The 4h mode has to be be it's greatest feature , having previously owned a 2016 Sorento I am a totally converted to AWD and the surefootedness it provides in wet conditions.
Your videos aren’t just CarSauce, they make lotsa PantsSauce ❤
New viewer, my kind of weird. Might buy one. Love the videos.
I bought PS (QF Exceed badge) in July 2020. Very comfortable and more capsule than most people seem to think. Went all over Fraser Island towing a camper trailer.
I find if you manually change up gears when taking off from the lights dont let it over rev change when it stops pulling and they go lf
Ooh, keen to watch this. My wife will be getting one of these (in White Diamond) in a couple of weeks.
Congratulations!!
Not sure why digital speedometer readout is so desirable, analogs are just fine, and give a good indication with a good quality guage, maybe it's a age thing, digital tachos are not desirable by comparison either.
As for softer padded dashboards, in the past some European manufacturers soft dash materials cracked up and deteriorated quickly in Australian heat and sun levels.
Offroad And Flood Wading Capability Awesome, Fuel Efficient & Maintenance Wise, Economical.
A 2.4 Liter 4 cylinder Pajero sport?? In kuwait or middle east in general, they have only the 3 liter / 3.8 liter , 6 cylinder trims. Only outlander & asx comes in 4.
The Triton / L200 is however the same 2.4 liter diesel / petrol engine with optional 4x4.
Good to see Mitsubishi coming up. As a person who drives an Asx as daily driver, Mitsubishi's are practical and value for money
Very good 👍
In the Philippines, THERE'S NO 4WD GLS. We have the 2WD GLS and i say go for it, especially here in PH where potholes exsists everywhere.. It drives like a charm, Its a great SUV if your looking for affordability and reliability with great driving aspects than the Fortuner
If you want to go back to basics, then yes. You will also have to deal with expensive parts pricing…
Haha love this guy so cute 😂. Especially when see him upsetting 😂
I love my Pajero! Awesome
ours turns up in June
Had the previous model for a super reliable 5 years with lots of towing..caravan 2.2 t. Full time 4wd was a must have so choices limited. Agree with most of the review. For me, the biggest Paj Sport failure is the stupidly small 68 litre fuel tank. When towing, particularly in remote areas, this gives some dangerously short ranges. Would have replaced like for like but for the poor range. Ended up with a Prado for the 150 litre tank. Even with an additional tank ($A2.2k fitted and certified), capacity only gets to 104 litres.
LC Prado is a whole different beast though, the rival for the PajSport is the Fortuner.
A PS with a 104 litre tank will give you the same range as a Prado with a 150 litre tank.
Since Mitsubishi have ceased operations in the UK we can’t get these any more. They were long overdue and we only got them for 2 years 😳.
my father has the same suv but the name is written Montero Sports and the speedometer is all digita
I have PS Exceed 6 of us get round sweet the third row best for younger kids we could not be happier with it
The longest time I owned a car was a 2003 Montero Sport XLS. I drove it until it died in 2019. Since 2005 Mitsubishi has been offering total garbage in the U.S. market. I wish this model was sold in North America. Mitsubishi cars and trucks are among the world's great bargains.
Super select is the reason I went 4WD. Towing in AWD feels much safer for some reason.
As for car seats - I don't get why people care about the material, we always throw neoprene covers on straight away anyway 😂 (kids are gross haha)
Since when is 60g for a car cheap
You guys ❤️. Who cares about the car. Let's hang out 🙏
i miss the original Pajero racer
In my opinion those who love pajero montero, model that is now discontinued, will never like pajero sport. It is for the simple reason that visibility from Montero is far better. Also it handles better on road.
Please review Mahindra S11 Pik Up, under 40k, a great value for money. Love your views.
Ok for a cheap suv..poxy interior and those tail lights are so ugly still.. next gen will be worth looking at though.. good review 👍
Ill go with Fortuner limited.
ILOVE pajero!❤
Cheap does not always mean bad.
Can you review the new Toyota Corolla? 2023 please
New GR soon!
@@CarSauce really cool, but I was talking about the normal one
Like the triton not enough room inside & not enough power 😎
Wish they’d sell these in the US.
What about towing a caravan please
They revamped the shitty Outlander to be an absolute cracking car. Now it’s time they transformed the tired, dated and underpowered Triton and Pajero Sport!
New ones are on the way. Triton later this year and Pajero Sport might be the year after. I’ll be interested to see what they come up with.
@@GrantHawkey thank you, if it’s anything like the transformation of the Outlander, I can’t wait!
@@GrantHawkey My guess is it won't have more power, and will be infected by Nissan-Renault engineering. They'll probably put a POS CVT in it...
here in Colombia is not the cheapest. idk why Toyota fortuner is cheaper. anyway I'm looking for a good SUV and i can't make my mind, please help!!
I purchased a 2022 GXL with the radar sensors slamming on the breaks for no reason. Towing a caravan gutless. Never again Mitsubishi sold it after 14 months.
Man this thing is cruel hot
what does pajero stands for? in my country ¨pajero¨ is a way to call someone a liar.
i hope misti do something good with the update on this now that the new triton has been released
It’s ok until it develops faults then your mechanics bill goes up,give me the old one any day
Did you hear the bit about 10 year warranty. Kinda makes your point irrelevant
Cheap? R u kiddin?! That's expensive for me. 😢..
It's just as durable as a Toyota but not as expemsive.
This or MU-X?
If you aren’t into big brand names then you’ll buy this over them all day. Who on earth wouldn’t want to keep their family safe by being able to use 4wd on wet roads and ridiculous 10 year warranty, let alone the 10’s of thousands of dollars cheaper….No brainer.
Sport? Is eating pies and failing to make corners a sport now?
Hey don’t knock the ‘80s. You weren’t even born then. 😅 good review though.
Give me boringly reliable any day.
Why your accent is Australian?
yeah strange and why is the suv registered in NSW 😂
@@ozdreamtimewizard1329 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cameraman’s gonna need a month off to recover from that! 😂
You test a 4x4 but you never went off road. Yet you complain about lack of power and goodness knows what else. You miss the point of a 4x4. It is the same if you go and test a Ferrari off road and tell us how bad it is.
64k it’s not cheap 😅
Having now owned one for 2 years, I can say that you definitely get what you pay for.
Tailgate issues, infotainment system going dark, multiple intercooler hose and o-ring failures and all before 30,000kms.
And that's not even discussing the Absolutely rubbish customer service from Mitsi Aus.
Would I buy one again?
Absolutely not.
Thanks for highlighting the rare case of ownership. Meanwhile, most owners have little to zero issues, with the intercooler hoses being the most know issue, with an easy silicone hose kit replacement taking care of that. I've had mine for 2 years also, with a dyno tune for 18 of those months, more power and torque than an Amarok and less than stock fuel usage, and still on original intercooler hoses. A few have had tailgate issues, but it's not common. I've personally had power window issues intermittently, but given it's fantastic off road capabilities and overall value, I'd quickly line up for another one 😁 Oh and Mitsi service in Australia is one of the better ones, so again you've been pretty unfortunate to have a bad run there.
Would I buy one again?
I'll take two 😉
Yeah, I’ve heard this can be the case. But on the other hand, they seem to offer excellent value for money, with the warranty to boot. It seems that most Mitsi’s are great, but if you score a dud… it’s a REAL dud, and thats going all the way back to the 80’s too.
Considering your luck, how were Mitsubishi with warranty service? I’m also curious whether you think some of the issues/or their repair could be related to the dealership just being crap?
I’ve never had a Mitsubishi before, but the new outlander looks fantastic (fit and finish 👍)… I travel almost 50km a year (just long commutes) and am considering one. But I don’t want to go through hassles related to failure, then warranty claims, no vehicle for days etc.
@Grant Hawkey such a good car you had to fit aftermarket parts to prevent issues with the pipes, and get it tuned and void your driveline warranty to get similar performance to a bone stock v6 amarok?
I've just been through 2 months of hell trying to get an engine related warranty issue sorted, and the service from 2 dealers has been second rate to say the least.
Since Nissan took control Mitsi has become a shadow of its former self, which is a shame as they were once regarded as having the best customer service reputation.
But hey, if your happy then all good, you must have one built on a Wednesday.
@Luke Clifton I always liked Mitsi, this is the 6th one our family has had and in less than 2 years and 30,000kms it's had no fewer than half a dozen trips to the dealer to rectify issues, namely intercooler hoses and orings that failed 3 times in those kms.
To cap it all off, the updated parts that got fitted then caused a secondary issue of pushing the intercooler onto the bodywork, which the dealer didn't pick up prior to handing us the car back the day before a 2500km drive.
@@lachlansheekey2839 Haha no worries. To clarify, I don’t have aftermarket parts to fix anything, just that silicone hose kits are available if needed. Like I said, mine are still the original ones so far. The tune wasn’t necessary, just my choice to have the 2.4L 4 output more reliable power and torque than a 3.0L V6 and NOT void any warranty at all - confirmed on several occasions and backed by the tuner’s warranty if the manufacturer should ever try denying a claim. Back in the old days it was a thing apparently, but not the case with reputable tuners these days mate 😉 We spend more time in 8th on the open road towing, hence the lower fuel use than pre-tune. The transmission is happy too, given it’s the 8 speed Aisin box as used in the 200LC, but with less weight to move along. Over engineered, just the way I like it 🙂
This car is targeted for pensioners
no they love their "reliable" Toyotas
🇷🇺👍
I have the new Outlander and its the best car on planet
Parts ???? Mitsubisji has stopped making cars
Err no they haven’t 😂
@@GrantHawkey where can I buy part then for a Shogun mark 1 ??
pp
MUX is better than this thing
Nah mux doesn't have a proper 4wd system - not in the same ballpark.
it's too narrow, you can't sleep in it. Even alone I don't have space, forget about sleeping with a girlfriend. I would have bought Land Rover better
6.2. Heaps of room. But I removed one of the rear seats. And wide enough
@@paulmifka89 yeah I was thinking to throw away the rear sits. I guess I will try it out this summer when I go on a trip. Still no comparison to Land Cruiser or Land Rover. I am travelling for weeks in the wild and constantly lacking space
The backsits is for CHILDREN!
Shame an adolescent is doing the review.
you are just too lazy
Mitsubishi is a goner.
nope nope nope
nope
