Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin 4x4
  • 1. It's best to buy as young a car as possible, because the later models had more standard equipment
  • 2. In the three-door model, legroom and boot space are poor, and the front seats are short of support
  • 3. One of the most major things you should look out for on these models is rust
  • 4. If the car has been used for towing, the wheel bearings, suspension and transmission can suffer
  • 5. Mitsubishi repair costs are high - more than those for other 4x4 makers, including Land Rover and Jeep
