The Mitsubishi Shogun is a dying breed. It is a proper off-roader rather than a watered down SUV like so many seen on the school run. Launched in 1983, it has become very popular over the years gaining a loyal fanbase. Is it any good? Should you buy one? Let's find out.

Love these videos, you’ve captured a great gap in the market with these videos. Great work man!! 👍🏻
robm2092 Thanks! I appreciate it 👍🏻
Very similar taste in cars to myself 😂
Did Matt just say wanker?? 😮😮
I used to drive our Pajero around Spain years ago. Never bothered me. There again, I am a wanker.
Thats true
I agree
"what ya like"
Pajero means Jerk, not Wanker
Nathan Reid - don’t care; I’m still a wanker n
An Aussie here - After finally giving up on Landrovers, I decided to go for a made in Japan 4x4 and it was the 3.2L turbo diesel that took the biscuit. It needed to be tough enough to cope with mud, dust, water crossings and pulling a heavy camper trailer around Oz. The Pajero is an incredibly reliable, strong, comfortable and fuel efficient form of transport. 10 years later and I'm still singing the praises of the Pajero.
I agree whole heartedly with your advise to Mitsubishi Japan about bringing out a new model with squarer looks, essentially the old Defender but with comfort and reliability would do me just fine. With Pajero no longer being made, Mitsubishi currently only offer the Pajero Sport in this class, which is essentially just a Triton ute with a wagon body stuck on it. The Sport has far less power, less comfort and IMHO far less capability. So come on Mitsubishi listen to good advice when you hear it and get that boxy new Pajero produced a.s.a.p.
I agree! I think the new Pajero Sport is a disappointment. It looks awkward
@@HighPeakAutos You Brits are famous for being diplomatic. I'd label it as an absolutely Crappy look!
Tough as old boots and have a go anywhere attitude, that's what I love about the Shogun, plus they look awesome.
WORD!!
@@brutushita1 Word what?
@@ericgeorge5483 word of truth🤣🤣
@@destroyerarmor2846 I know.
These reviews are so realistic. I love it!! Reviews for everyday drivers. I definitely appreciate this.
Thanks! I appreciate it. Thanks for watching :)
One of the best motors on the road. I’ve always had shoguns since they first came out and I still have them now. I’d love to own the evolution Dakar rally version!
2001 mitsubishi montero limited!! Thing is a thank!! Super reliable SUV!!!
Another proper review , have owned many over the years '
I have to say ' one of the most honest vehicles on the road
The MK1 was the most endearing .
Gerry Freeman Thats right, I’ve always liked them
Thanks for another great video... Some years back I had a grey import Pajero (wanker) it was an 1990 5 door 2.5 diesel, the very square one. What a brilliant truck. When you opened the door it played the Disney tune “It’s a small World”. My two kids loved it...great memories.
Great review. A little late on the post but pajeros are rocketing up in second hand value here in NZ as people now realise that they are a better vehicle than the equivalent Toyota offerings.
Grab one while you can as they are no longer available from new. And this is going to be one of those vehicles that “I wish I’d bought one “ you will regret not buying when you had the chance. 🤷🏻♂️
I have a 2002 Montero best car ever owned just such a great all round vehicle
Andre Nieto Is yours diesel or petrol?
I own the same car. Great car to go where you need(and, want) to go and i can tow 3.5T😁
I agree,indeed a great car.but,falling behind rivals in equipment('toys' and safty features).I have a 2009 and it behind the Landcruiser
High Peak Autos petrol 3.5
@@HighPeakAutos I have a long wheel base 3.8litre v6 Shogun/Pajero🌝..2009.I'm thinking-Gas conversion..your advice please
I have a 2006 UK spec Shogun, just did a 1700 mile road trip to Europe in it, nothing else I would have rather been driving
But that’s only because you haven’t been driving anything else
@@pippipster6767 Well I have had over 20 cars in my time and this journey with 4 people and lots of luggage was very relaxed, the high position makes the drive feel relaxed and the engine runs at low revs so was super quiet at 70 mph +
Matt Harding
I used only Shoguns from 2004 to 2018. Was a massive fan, although much preferred the petrol engine version which they simply stopped making. Diesel far too clattering and shaky round town. Although fine on motorway.
My main car now is an RS4. Completely different kettle of fish of course. But other car is a Q7 50 S-line. It is on a completely different level to Shogun in every way. Quiet, refined and stylish. Fantastic virtual cockpit display.
So as I say, I was a massive fan - but there are very much better vehicles out there.
@@pippipster6767 Sure, I accept its a dinosaur now and noisy, slow and thirsty, it just has a character I love, I go offroading and tow big caravans and transport 7 people so it does it all and it was cheap really at £6k. It's not a daily driver for me, i have a hatchback for daily use, as you say around town the engine is very gruff to say the least. I know why they made it a 4 cylinder for space and to have a short nose but i wish it was a 6 cylinder though!
Sorry never had the chance to drive one
Some lessons learnt after over a year of ownership of a 2014 lwb 3.2 model:
Rust protection isn't what it should be, so especially if you live in a country where they use salt on winter roads, beware. Details like the spare wheel carrier seem to lack any rust protection what so ever. Brake calipers can sieze from corrosion.
Inside the fuel door there is a sticker that says DIESEL EN590. This is no joke! Use real diesel fuel only! Biodiesel that doesn't meet the EN590 standard can dissolve the liner inside the fuel tank
which turns into a sticky goo that clogs up the fuel filters.
The so called "resistor mod" for the EGR system works beautifully. It disables the EGR system without any actual modification apart from splicing a few cents worth of resistor into a cable under the bonnet which fools the ecu into never opening the egr-valve while driving. Stops soot an oil blocking the intake over time.
Later models have a stereo/dvd/nav head unit with bluetooth compatibility, but it's pretty crude and unintuitive to use. Sadly not easy to replace if the car is also fitted with the Rockford Fosgate sound system. Sound is pretty decent, although the interior plastics around the subwoofer can rattle pretty badly.
Air conditioning can malfunction, not only from the compressor failing, but under the car behind the right rear wheel is a separate blower and condensor unit for the rear AC. It's mounted in a vulnerable spot and it can start leaking due to corrosion as well.
Electronics are a bit outdated, there is no warning system for things like broken light bulbs or low wiper fluid for instance. Auto transmission ecu is supposedly adaptive to your driving style but the whole gearbox feels rather sluggish compared to some modern ones. Should be reliable though, if serviced. The stability and traction control system also feels pretty slow and primitive. There is a button do turn it off, but it's still on anyway so no powerslides are possible on icy roads. Or rather, you can begin a slide and it is then hindered by the system in a very abrupt and unrefined way.
On the whole is still think it's not a bad 4x4 car, and if you want a true offroader that will still be comfortable on a motorway journey there are not many alternatives to the Pajero/Shogun. It will be a lot cheaper to buy than a Land Cruiser and a lot cheaper to run than a Range Rover.
Love my gen3 montero. Ita a tank can go anywere and has never left me stranded.
The looks of this car, do really appeal to me, It’s an iconic look. When you see one, you’d know it’s a shogun or pajero or montero.
I have a 2014 base model pajero in australia. Fantastic car with loads of space. It has nitto tyres for offroad. I love this car.
Another great video - keep up the good work! Really informative and refreshing, especially when compared to most car related dross on TV now.
Can't go wrong with Mitsubishi Pajero 👌🏿
Been driving them since 1996!
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿
An honest unbiased review... 👍🏼
Another good video, keep up the good work
I had a long wheelbase Pajero as 'my' car and my partner of the time had the new family car. I loved it, but I’m the generation that loves lots of chrome. It came from Japan and it took me several motorway trips to blow out all the crap that had built up with the 50mph speed limit over there. It felt like I was driving the living room sofa, and the biggest repair was the wiring for the back seat. I have to say it was my favourite used car after my VX490, in fact it I’d put it in my top 6 of all my cars.
Timeless design, that's a beautiful truck. They will also take a beating and come back for seconds. They just want to make you happy like the family dog.
Good vid, My 2007 Gen 4 now has 370k on in with no problems, awesome offroad but lifted mine as they are a little low.
Flat review, no excitement whatsoever.
I love it! Instantly hooked!
😁😁😁😁
Unbiased and makes me want to get one!
Haha Cheers!
My 2015 model ,bought as a demo car few years ago is great ,the one below this model so no screens in the back and no 20 inch wheels (which I diden't want anyway no good for off road) . Cars just done 26000 miles, front tires were shot so replaced all 4 with BF goodrich all terrains ,bit more road noise but I'm off road a lot of the time round the estate and these tires are top notch .Had a Pathfinder before and it spent most of its time with electrical problems back at Nissan ,got rid before warranty ran out ,the Pathfinder just felt like an estate car ,the Shogun is a real acricultural 4x4 and feels purposeful .Good and fair review .
Just curious if you have ever owned/driven a land rover or landcruiser and how they compare to the shogun?
Best car review channel that I have come across, informative and with a touch of humour!
The 4M41 3.2 turbo diesel is a great motor! 441nm torque at under 2000 rpm right where you need it for 4x4 work and coupled with the Aisin tiptronic " Superselect" transmission it's fantastic both on and off the bitumen.
The overall design is extremely practical - I've not found a better design in 40 years.
I tow a heavy offroad camper trailer on very soft sand and this Pajero handles it easily, unhook the trailer and it's just plain fun even on the rough stuff here in Australia.
The beauty is that it's onroad manners are also great, driving and handling like a car and I find the ride quality excellent especially for touring long distances in our very hot summers - never a single issue with the airconditioning, always ice cold, in fact it's the first vehicle I've owned that is a little bit too cold! I raise the thermo setting sometimes.
Mine has close to 200,000 kilometres on the clock and feels/drives the same as when new and I believe the motor/drivetrain will last at least 400-500,000 kilometres.
I get between 35 and 45 thousand kilometres out of a set of Yokohama Geolander tyres.
Out of interest the word Pajero was chosen for it's real meaning - an Argentinian wild cat found only in the most inaccessible mountainous regions.
It always makes me laugh how flustered drivers of other brands get when the Paris-Dakar statistics get quoted, but these models have withstood the test of time and gained a lot of respect the last few years especially for very good reason.
It's a shame Mitsubishi are beginning to wind down production of this venerable all rounder.
Note: Mitsubishi technical says the transmission is sealed for life but a lot of guys here towing heavy caravans etc do get the trans flushed/serviced - the general wisdom is to use the genuine Mitsubishi "Diaqueen" fluid only which is very expensive.
Yea I'am a Mitsubishi technician/mechanic since 20yrs and I have a 2010 Pajero with the 3.2 and Aisin aut.
It Will pass 400.000km next month, I'am the second owner and have done all of the work on it since Day one.
The only thing done with the engine is service, I have changed oil in the transmission once when it passed 300.000km just because I felt that with those miles you'r better safe than sorry..
And because I drive around alot with trailer.
There is not One part of the suspension or the steering that is changed since new,
I'am however planning to give it a update in the suspension with some Ironman lift kit or something like that, it starts to give in for the gravity... 😁. But it never hits the bottom of the suspension yet so I'am quite impressed! And I'am driving alot of bad roads.. and fast..
The only downpart I feal with it is the road noise, I'am thinking of take the interiour out and put some noise damping in, i've seen a TH-cam video from russia when they did that.
Overall I have to say that the Pajero/Montero is the most impressive car I've been working with and I believe I would say that even if I didn't worked with Mitsubishi.
They are built like a TANk and the 4wd in combo with the Long suspension travel is fantastic!
Cheers from Northern Sweden 🍻
I have an 08 Triton with the 3.2D, 382,000km and doesn't need any oil top-up between changes. Goes and goes with no trouble ever.
I have absolutely no use for a proper 4x4 but I love the Shogun. I remember seeing one back in the eighties at an agricultural show. Great car. 👍👍
I started driving one the very first generation back in 1991. Then came the next 2.8L turbo second generation, love it so much! After that I traded in for a V75, the 3rd generation which is a 3.5L GDI V6 engine. Had a terrible accident on road by I was fine and able to walk away from it unharmed. Now I own and drive the fourth generation which is this V98 model. Imported from Japan 2014 and put on over 200,000km on it! Only usual wear and tear. Love all the Pajero and I will keep this for very very long time. Thanks for your video and this is one of the most practical wagon you can own
You're a big fan. I like them too. Thanks for watching
Love your review style. keep it going sir.
Always nice to see you upload bud, neighbour had one of these and thought although it was noisy as hell it was fantastic
Thanks for watching :)
Very informative and comprehensive video!! Thank you 🙏 Sir!!
Good to see you back dude 👍👍
Cheers :)
I live in the U.S and just recently repaired my 1999 2.5 gen Montero after sitting in my back yard for 8 years. And had forgotten how incredible it rides for being so old. I am so glad I got mine fixed up. And still get to drive it everyday. I live in south Texas and I have only seen one like mine in the past 8 years. So mine is pretty rare
Was waiting for this
Lovely report. Thank you.
Thanks for the genuine presentation. Love the video. Cheers from Sri Lanka.
Thanks for watching!
Was waiting for this.love these.
really great 4*4 ---have had 4 in a row --currently a 2015 long wheel base ----latest engine very economical-----all 4 have been exceptionally reliable.

Munyaradzi K. D Zindoga Thank you!!
Thank you for the nice review ❤
I have a 2017 Montero, great truck, i hate the 3rd row seats. It's a shame Mitsubishi halt production of this car. Thanks for the honest review. And all the details you mentioned (the rust one of the more important) just nailed it.
Greetings from Canada. Doing some research on these,, thanks for the review.
Another alternative to the mitsubishi is the Nissan pathfinder R51 which I currently own and have managed to get 42 mpg out of it (that what the computer said?) it also has automatic lights, reversing camera and auto dip side mirrors. Just have to watch the chassis on particular models.
Really good review thank you
I had my MK3 for 10 years and it was superb, not flash or fancy, but it always started first time every time, the only problems in 10 years were a battery which lasted for nearly 15 years (original battery) and a replacement exhaust, and it was fully rustproofed using cavity wax on every cavity, and underbody wax on all external underbody panels. Replace the ATF with the correct Dia Queen SP 3 and NOT Dexron or other cheaper alternatives. They work well with Cooper tyres and parts are readily and cheaply available if you know where to shop, so self servicing is easy for the DIY owner, so why did mine go? because some moron in a van drove into it and it was written off. It towed up to 8 tonne tractors off road, spent about a third of its life off road, and never missed a beat.
What do I have now? a MK4.
Original battery lasted 15 years 🤔😯 Good God almighty ….. The longest living battery I ever had was a Ford Motorcraft battery for only 8 years 👍🏽
@@q80aziz Mercedes battery lasted me 12 years
I had a MK1 LWB Shogun - best car I ever owned - absolute beast of a car
Great motor my Dad had 3 of these last one done over 300k no issues
They're very robust
Mitsubishi last long not like.uk models
Great video .. I've had a shogun for a few years now and love it .. if I change itll be another shogun
Great video and great to have you back.
Gerard Donaghy Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Good luck
Cheers
Great tips !
Best review i have come across for the pajero. I needed this kind of review to convince me that i was not wrong with my next buy
Thoroughly enjoyed that honest review. I have a 2010 NT GL with 300,000km on the clock. Think I might keep it another 5 years. The last of the Pajeros has been sold here in Australia. Maybe I'll pick one up in 10 years, I'll let you know.
You really gave it the review it deserved. Thanx mate ..
Thanks for watching :)
Another excellent no nonsense review but still enjoyable to watch.. more please 👍
Cheers. Thanks for watching
Good to see others have rusty wheel arches. Just booked my 2005 in for them to be done.
On my 4th Shogun/Pajero. Love them! Can’t wait to get a newer one
Unfortunately its a common issue. They're great cars though
I rented the 2016 model for a week and what a tank! Loved it, such a cool car
My dad had third gen shogun. It had 280k miles until he had to scrap it because of rust
One thing i respect about the Pajero it has maintained its off road theme although not luxury as a landcruiser but it gets the job done👍
Loving the videos
Acarsguy Thanks!
I would LOVE to see you do a review on my car at the moment. I've been watching this religiously for months and months hoping to see it reviewed. I have a zafira tourer 2014. It's a great car. I need to make a trip up to your showroom as I don't live too far away in hyde. Keep up the videos pal. Love them as always! 👍
Dale Robinson Thanks for watching!
Thanks again for this
Welcome back matt another brilliant video which has sort of made me think that's quite a nice looking motor which has been seriously looked after I've seen a couple of those and the rust is eating away at them unfortunately they cannot cope with the winter and all the salt we throw on our roads, unless they have caring owners it pretty much kills the bodywork great video matt looking forward to seeing you soon best wishes Ian
ian youd Thanks Ian. You’re right, people really need to look after their cars better and prepare them for winter over here
I'm on my third, recently bought a new one 2018, LWB at a good discounted price.. Love em Thanks for the vid really enjoyed watching.
Thanks for watching
I have some relatives in rural Staffordshire and they swear by these. They've had 3 on the trot.
I'm going to hire one when I go to Ghana in a few weeks.
Looking forward to taking it to my ancestral village where the roads aren't great.
My dad has just bought a 15 plate shogun after having a myriad of BMW, fast ford's and a Megane RS.
He had an old 90s shogun when I was about 5 so this brings back memories big time 😄
Thank you another good vid. I have a Jimny, great little motor.Cheers
Love your reviews 👍🏾👍🏾
Glad you like them!
Had two of these and there wasn’t ever any problems. I was sorry to see them go. They were near mint when I sold them. Road noise was high though. 😊
Been looking at these as a replacement for a Discovery..Car for the dogs to wreck ☺️
Grown up around the 3rd and 4th gen. And it's gotten so bad that nowadays both my dad and I drive one. My dads, which was used as a towing vehicle a lot, has now done over 500.000km and it's 15 years old. Still feels new, just needs good maintainance once a year and after that it's all good. The one I bought (after saving for ages as these things are still, 2nd hand and 15 years old, not cheap), lacks a rear bench, because I want to convert it into a camper like vehicle, to drive all around Europe. And when I was looking for a good car to build into a camper, I could simply not find anything coming close to what Pajero's offer: Reliability, range, comfort, offroading, towing, fuel efficiency, you name it. I kinda never want to drive anything else anymore, due to all the memories I've got with the car model and the trust I have in it to take me anywhere, anytime.
Great review, although my Shogun was an older model and swb I could not fault it, tough decesion when I came to get rid of it and like you said seriously contemplated a another one (albeit lwb) however decided it no longer met my needs. Everything worked on mine with no bodge repairs, bodywork was solid and like a tin of 'Ronseal' it "did exactly what it said on the tin" sheer practicality forced the sale (have two elderly parents and acess was an issue) would definitely recommend buying one but don't buy the first one you see, there are plenty out there and, as you mentioned buy the best you can afford not the cheapest 👍👍
Great video , always enjoy your reviews had the pleasure of owning a 3.2 diesel diamond, great reliable car and yes it is a poor man's land cruiser and a bit dated , but still a great car
Thanks for watching. They're a good all rounder and good value compared to the Land Cruiser
Great review. Love the Pajero. Love That Car.
Shogun's are brilliant. I worked for Mitsubishi for 5 yrs and these things are literally bomb proof. Usually exceptional reliability, but can be expensive if parts do fail, but that doesn't happen to often. It's a pity the rest of the Mitsubishi range isn't that exciting these days.
MrRicardo11 You’re right!
Had a gen one of these . Long wheel base . I can't keep looking back at it it's so beautiful
Hong Sheng Lau The first gen look great now
Really good video thank you 😇
Thanks!
Very nice, thanks.
Another great video! You deserve a lot more subs.
Thanks!
I'm a new subscriber and currently bingeing on this channel, I like your honesty mate, I'm in Ireland and thus not in a position to be a customer but it's a shame as I love collecting old Japanese 4x4s so would be willing to buy your tradeins that you want gone. Anyways, just leaving this comment to say great channel and I hope to see your subs grow even more.
From a car guy and a mechanic to you... very good review! We need more like this on TH-cam. Good job man
Subscribed, excellent reviews credit where it's due.
Thanks! Really appreciate it :)
ask me how much pleasure I feel watching this. Pajero 2nd gen and shogun Will always remain never ending love!.
Excellent car, huge exiting and entering of the vehicle without knocking yourself out unlike RR, off road ability is equal to any higher priced 4x4 if not better, only issue is ground clearance, especially in stock form compared to the LC Prado/Colorado, suspension is torsion which is good.
The engines are good, but are known for H/Gaskets... (V6 gas) this is a tool to own..
Just saw one 2011 3.2 excellent shape,after checking the engine bay I noticed the coolant was almost empty...this could be probably gasket ready to blow anytime.
speech is so clear and smooth, sounds very good for foreign listener
Thanks
Great review on this, I was looking at the Defender 4 but I’m looking at these now thanks to this video. I have 5 kids so need a big vehicle and I don’t want a people carrier.
Going to check out a 3rd gen 3.2L 3-door Pajero next week, if it's in good condition I'll buy it and will invest in all the stuff that might had been neglected like changing the timing chain, sealing the underbody, transmission fluids etc.
Great review and the classic comments too 🤣🤣
Used to drive only Hilux until one day on a whim bought a Shogun elegance. Now in the process of buying another upgrade...a lot of lovely for the money! 🥰
Another great drive; thanks for taking us along.
Any more thoughts about that Yeti video?
Christopher Newman Thank you! I still haven’t had a yeti. I’ll try and get hold of one
I am proud to say that I drive a mint condition 1991 NG 4door V6 petrol here in Darwin in NT. I got very lucky when it came up for sale and pounced on it. It's just a fantastic, bulletproof simple car and I love it to death.
Ive own my 2008 shogun/paj since 2014. Dash rattles crazy loud!, prone to problems with head gasket if you skip diesel fuel filter replacement. Drove it in 4x4 high (without center differential locked "orange light") for the las couple of years, it makes it safer and corners better.. Take into consideration I live in rural Costa Rica area where theres no paved roads. It starts and goes every time. 4.5star value
I am working in UAE I have been studding about cars above 6 years and you are spot on about this car reviews and what you say on this Pajero is quite true. In here we get 3.8L V6 engine. However they are under powered compare to Prado 4L v6 for sand dunes off-roading. Excellent work
Thanks! Thats interesting, we only get the diesel model in the UK. Thanks for watching :)
I was hoping you were going do the Shogun. Cracking, reliable motors. Just love the look of them too. 👍
Thanks for watching :)
Good honest review
I personally have so much respect for the Shogun
Bought myself a new Lwb automatic in 2014, at age 21.
I wanted nothing else especially after having a used 2008 model previously
Once the engine was run in, I changed the exhaust, built a custom downpipe from the Turbo and got it ECUTEK remapped.
Currently on BP ultimate diesel it's kicking out atleast 255hp
And 0 - 60 in 7.8 with oversized 285/50R20 Cooper Zeon's
Towing is effortless, just need to make sure the transmission has locked up or tow in 4th to reduce excessive build-up of heat
Hardly use it these days but when I need to tow anything it's a joy. And been 100% reliable

Took a 2014 Shogun with over 195,000 on the clock over the army's offroad course at Driffield. It ate it up with room for a pudding. We now use Land Rover Discoveries, and they're rubbish.
Miss our auto 3ltr Shoguns so much. Always reliable and great off road.
Excellent review. If I recall correctly it has independent suspension all around, and a unibody? Was remarkable when it was introduced (compared to other low gearing 4WDs of the time)
