Mitsubishi Shogun LWB 2008

1 star review

Hi, this is the second Shogun I’ve owned as I previously had a 2004 SWB and never had a problem. Then I bought a 2008 LWB plate and sold it in 2011 as it was the worst car I had every owned. In 6 months it spent 12 weeks in the garage with a rusting door and engine managment problems. Then the particulate filter went at 43,000 miles and from then on it just drank fuel like it was going out of fashion, plus a £2000 bill to repair it. So I decided to sell it. When I contacted Mitsubishi they knew they had a problem with the rusting round the windows, but then I noticed even on the bottom of the doors it had rust inside. The garge actually said it needed all new 4 doors, but Mitshubishi wouldn’t cover this on warranty and only allowed them to paint it. I was so disappointed as it was good in the snow and fab to load the children and dogs into. My first Shogun was fab, what happened Mitsubishi to the new ones?

Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 LWB 2008

4 star review

This is my second shogun owned a SWB for 5 years never had a fault with it fab motor however, the shogun I have now is nice to drive and does the job but has had a few minor faults. The main one I have just noticed is that on each door frame round the window it is starting to rust it is under it’s 3 year warranty & therefore, will be going back next week. Also the drivers seat when taking a sharp corner eg in a car park the seat seem to slide. The garage man said he could not find anything wrong & it was my seat cover!! It is of course going back again. I hope we do no find any more faults with it as the warranty runs out next year.

Mitsubishi Shogun elegance 2008

4 star review

Have not had any problems yet and can only praise the car really. My wife uses the Shogun to tow a Ifor Williams 510 (and horse of 16.3 hands), which it does easily. I cannot fault the comfort either as I do hundreds of miles at a time and never feel tired. It is also fairly good on diesel, which is surprising for the size of the engine. All in all, so far so good and hopefully look forward to a new model soon.

Mitsubishi Shogun SWB For Work 2008

4 star review

Absolutely brilliant vehicle, bought after owning four Isuzu Troopers, the Shogun is a better vehicle in every way but is not economical when pushed. Superb in the snow, could not have kept my business going without it this winter, nothing has gone wrong with the vehicle and I will definitely be getting another.

Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 di-d lwb auto 2008

1 star review

I bought my car from the Leicester Showroom as an ex-demonstrator with full warranty in April 09. Only had 9931 miles on the clock but had problems right from the start. The dealer has had the car back now 9 times since I identified fault. Apparently the breather tube for the map sensor blocks with carbon and starts to stall the car over time. Mitsubishi have now found that the pipe is in the wrong position on the manifold so have change a lot of pipes and part of the manifold. The MPG is no where near the advertised for the car and they have said, quote: "only one car on the production line is tested as being representative of the model and may therefore produce a better or worse result than another similar vehicle." So if you’re lucky you could get a good car, if not a very bad example but they are not willing to deal with it any further. Other faults also apearing on car, so stear clear of them.
