MITSUBISHI L200 PICK-UP READER REVIEWS

My car

Do not buy one. List of faults: amongst others! Twisted rear cab - needed replacement, tailgate needed to be painted twice, CD changer didn't work when we picked it up, reversing sensors don't work, two safety recalls - u bolts had to be done twice, new springs, new steering column, rally art pack, burnt out, new cylinder head, got stuck in low box - on back of tow truck tonight - less than a month after we got it back wth new cylinder head. Many breakdowns, lots of stress and wasted money.

Our average mpg used to be approx 33mph, after new cylinder head won't go above 26mph - apparantly it needs to bed in!

I have owned the L200 Animal since the end of November 08. The problem is I love the vehicle but it has spent more time in the garage being fixed than driving on the road. Intermittent fault on the engine management system, seized headrests in the rear, severe brake squeal and now at 3000 miles the turbo has blown. The dealer has been as much use as a candle in a rainstorm. Apparently the turbo is on back order and no timescale can be placed on my vehicles return. Lets hope the next 3000 miles is better.

I went from a Landy to one of these and I can honestly say it is the worst vehicle I have ever driven. I have been in the Motor Trade all my life and have lost count of the cars I have owned and driven. I am now back in a Land Rover. From day one I had nothing but trouble with it. Window motors packing up, Wiper problems Electrical faults to name but a few. Also much heavier on fuel than suggested. On top of that I discovered it is the most uncomfortable vehicle on the road. The driving position and seat is terrible. Off Road it is good and the build quality is very good. Be careful if you buy on and intend doing more than local work.

After covering 70,000 miles in a little over 18 months, the L200 has proved very reliable and a joy to drive. Alot of the miles have been towing a weight of between 1.5 and 2 tonne on all roads from farm tracks to motorways.The ability of being able to run in four wheel drive on the road, c/w traction control gives much greater confidence when towing, especially in the wet. The turning circle for such a vehicle is top class, as is the visibility. The 50,000 mile service cost hurt, but I didn't need a set of new Bridgestone tyres until 58,000 miles!!! If you carry rear seat passengers, they will appreciate the large rear doors and ample leg room.
