This car is amazing to drive and is great for space. You can fit 4 passengers and 4 dogs in the boot - you couldn’t ask for a better car for the money. It is also very good looking and stylish.

What things have gone wrong with the car? Nothing has gone wrong. General comments? If someone really cares for his family comfort and needs to have a reliable car, then the Mitsubishi Grandis is one of them. I have driven a number of car in my life, but found this as one of the best of the lot. The dual AC in this merciless heat in United Arab Emirates, wherein during summers the temperature hits by 50C plus, this MPV has never given up. The kids who are sitting at the back third row seat, are also happy as all of the passengers have one dedicated AC fin above their heads. The climate control AC does its job very well. The second row seats have plenty of leg space, and when someone likes to sit in the third row seats, the second row seats can be adjusted to avoid knee blocking with the third row passengers. The automatic transmission shifts like silk, and if the driver is in a sporty mood, can have the gear lever shifted to the manual mode and can have all his desires fulfilled. We should remember it’s not a sports car, but a family carrier MPV. The power steering is good and requires no effort at all in different driving conditions. The adjustable steering is another standard good feature in Grandis, which can be adjusted with the driver height, as the driver’s seat can also go up and down with the help of a lever attached to the seat. The dash lights are very bright, and anyone who needs to adjust the dash light during night time can adjust it according to their taste. The brakes are fantastic, and the ABS works very fine whenever the need arises. The fuel consumption is excellent. It is giving me 24 miles in one gallon. (4 liters in a gallon) However the fuel in UAE is not a big issue at all, as it is quite cheap as compared to the rest of the world. To conclude, this MPV is so practical that after driving this, it will be very difficult to stick around with some other brand or make of car of its category. Hope this review will be beneficial for the people who are in the process of buying an MPV for their family. Regards. Qamar Note: My country UAE, was not mentioned in your list..

Love the look and drive of the car, but I’m so disappointed that after 3 attempts to fix the leaking windows I’m still having problems. Its been in the shop for a total of 3 weeks now and the problem keeps recurring. This has added a real damper (pardon the pun!) to what fundamentally is a great motor. Unfortunately, I think its something I’ll have to live with as no-one seems to be able to offer a solution :-(

Best road car I’ve ever driven, its fast, responds great, gives a great drive, excellent all round, looks great, and handles excellent, sticking to the road, perfect for anyone to loves sports cars, without the need to enter the track, as to bet this car has to be something very special as it will run rings around you, loved it, only bad downfall was the consumption of petrol - getting around 10miles to a gallon isn’t really a family car... and you have to be rich to own one, as it consumes a lot of petrol, but great fun car to drive.

Lauren, can I watch while you get your stripes off! - mine is also blue but without the stripes. There are too many happy Barrows’ on this page! I would like to add from my earlier review that my CZC has further surprised me - in that it’s performance and mpg can improve to nearly 40 if you take your foot off the accelerator a little. Of course it is difficult to do this as the handling and the sports car driving experience is fantastic in the winding country lanes! Also - have you noticed how wet this year has been? No leaks in my cabrio at all. And the boot takes my golf clubs and trolley comfortably. Best car I have ever owned so far - even if I do look retarded in a car park, crunching into reverse and playing with my windows!!

Well after having my window motors replaced they work fine! The gear crunching in reverse is apparently because i don’t wait 3 seconds when selecting the gear! I don’t like this, makes me look retarded on a car park! Glad my report made you smile! I didn’t smile when I have discovered in the next town a twin, same midnight blue with silver racing stripes in the turbo!! Talk about gutted. Think my stripes will be coming off!

I drive many different types of car for a living, but it is always a relief to get in my Shogun at the end of a long day. Never has a car seat and general driving position felt so right - and I truly mean this. It IS slow (well with only 114 bhp to pull 2 tonnes it was never going to be fast was it?), nevertheless I know that whatever the weather I WILL get home - its grip with ’proper’ tyres is amazing. True, it is very truck-like, but that is perhaps because it unashamedly IS a truck (with all the tough mechanicals that go into making one). I always get 30mpg if I’m careful to limit myself to a maximum 3000rpm, this gives me reasonable performance. You soon get used to it’s mammoth size and parking isn’t too bad. Of course, being a Mitsubishi it is reliable, but I do think what they expect you to pay for servicing it is a joke. Over all, it ’does what it says on the tin’ but if ever a car needed a six-speed gearbox this is it. I am forever going for the extra gear it so desperately needs! A good honest vehicle but definitely no dragster.

I’ve had Shoguns since 1994 (this is my 4th) and never a problem with towing until this one that we’ve had from new. It overheats after about 60 miles and was recalled in 2006 for overheating. I had the recall work done but it still overheats at about 90 miles. After sales is rubbish as no dealer wants to know. Now going to chop it in for a Toyota Invincible - what a shame as my wife and I love the Shoguns but I think its bad design in the new engine. If any one knows the answer I would be grateful.

Great car, spacious and well equipped for the cash BUT HORRENDOUS DEPRECIATION. Offered £3,700 as a trade in on a two and a half year old car that cost £11,000 new. Cracking used deal though!

The review by Lauren Barrow made me smile - I have loved my CZC since January and exactly the same comments apply to my experience as in Lauren’s - ’It handles great... love it when the turbo kicks in, first gear is a little sluggish unless you drive it hard. I do have 2 complaints though, it doesn’t like going into reverse for some reason, crunches for no reason and the windows don’t always come up on command takes a few attempts’. I would add that it does not just ’handle great’ - it feels like a sports car and yet I am still getting over 30 to the gallon. I would also add that I found the dealer - Mitsubishi Motors in Cheltenham, to be appallingly bad. Use independent’s for your servicing.

I LOVE my car. So many comments and everyone of them makes me smile! It handles great... love it when the turbo kicks in, first gear is a little sluggish unless you drive it hard. I do have 2 complaints though, it doesn’t like going into reverse for some reason, crunches for no reason and the windows don’t always come up on command takes a few attempts. I love the shape, the class, the heated seats and being the only one I’ve seen in the month of owning it... I do recommend this car!

Mitsubishi really have come a long way in recent years and I’m glad I took the plunge and went for the Grandis, which we’ve had now for 18 months. It’s a really well equipped MPV that drives superbly, in fact I’m still impressed now with the way it handles and rides. Stylish and spacious as well with good safety. Excellent car.

Wonderful little car that is so much fun to drive. A really good looking car and a littl more exciting than the C1, which you seem to see everywhere these days. Excellent low emissions mean road tax is very cheap as are running costs. A little more expensive than other cars in it’s class but I think it’s worth it.

Great little car. Really grips and you can steer it on a sixpence (as my dad would say). Feels solid and you can tell it’s really well made. Good fuel consumption and low depreciation also major factors in me choosing this car. It’s not the cheapest car in it’s class but I do think you get value for money.

I have only had my cabriolet for 3 weeks and it has been in the service department being fixed more than it has been on the road, First week the air conditioner ran out of gas and had to be re gassed. Second week the roof got stuck and would not go up. It has now been in the service department for a week and they still do not know how to fix it. I am very disappointed as I traded in a Honda Jazz that I never had a problem with.

I had the same problem with our Shogun Field, also a 05 and was told the same thing. I also had intermittent problem with oil warning light coming on and told ’no known problem like this’ and then got a recall notice to attend to problem!! I agree that after sales care is not that brilliant.

The more I drive it the more enjoyable it gets. This car even makes driving in town fun; it just zips from A to B and handles motorways without any problem too. The automatic box is smooth and fast and the climate control / air-con. Works well. I have owned it for several months and it’s one of the most fun to drive cars I ever had, apart from being one of the most economical.

I bought my Carisma second hand about three years ago, and to its credit it is still going strong. There are a few negatives that should be mentioned: No rear windscreen wiper so often rear visibility is poor. The car rides very low on the road so that going over speed bumps I am often reduced to about 5 miles an hour to go over them (probably the point lol!) and other cars get irritated that I have slowed so much, but any faster and I bang the exhaust on the bump. The car itself has a fair amount of welly and accelerates really well up hills, often overtaking newer and more flashy cars. Handling is less impressive however as it often pulls a tad one way or the other. All in all a good second hand car with some nice features - the electric wing mirrors, but if you had more money I don’t think you would opt for it!

Firstly; the car shown above is not a Shogun Pinin the report by Mr P Harrison states it is a v6 2007 the pinin did not have a v6 engine and was not produced after 2006. i own a 2005 pinin warrior and as my wife and myself are both disabled we don’t have to bend down to get into the car we just slide in its a little bit longer than a Nissan Micra so parking is a piece of cake 30 mpg is not bad for a petrol 4x4 18 inch tyres can be expensive but how often do you buy tyres its fully kitted a frame side steps leather seats etc cannot fault it we love it.

I bought this to replace a Chrysler Grand Voyager as the family wagon (two adults, three grown kids, two dogs and family holidays around Europe with roofbox/trailer and five full-sized bikes!) - not an easy job. The Shogun had a couple of teething problems which were resolved by adequate dealer. The equipment is good and durable, it’s quiet, comfortable, well equipped and remarkably economical when loaded on long trips (less so if you use it for Tesco run...) and a lot more stable and safer than a Grand Voyager! Mitsubishi Assist program (£15/yr for European recovery etc) is fantastic value and service was amazing only time I used it. I have recommended Shogun to one friend and my father so far - so I must like it.

Lured by a temptingly low secondhand price and the promise of excellent reliability, I am delighted by what I’ve bought. Very smooth 1.6 engine gives me 40+ mpg regardless (it never goes near built up areas though) all the kit I need (PAS, CD and Aircon), and nothing I don’t. Comfortable ride and safe handling, though steering is a bit light. Boot space is mediocre for the class, but at least has loads of cubby space. Viewed as a secondhand bargain, there is little else to compare at the price.

Not the best looking 4x4 but don’t let that put you off. A gutsy little number, it prefers off road but doesn’t mind on road too. You can bag one of these for a bargain and they are definately worth the money.

A very well kitted out car that comes with sports suspension and leather interior as standard, which considering what you pay is amazing value for money. But, running costs are not cheap and in hindsight I would have gone for the more fuel effecient 1.6 and forgone a few of the luxuries.

What a lovely car. I’ve only had mine for a couple of months but it’s a breath of fresh air. I have 3 children ages 7, 9 and 13 and it gives them plenty of space so less to squabble about. Great driving position too so very comfortable to drive over long distances. Everything so far seems spot on. Very enjoyable to drive.

Sharp handling and good grip together with excellent safety features sold this car to me. I decided to go for the Elegance as you get a lot more for your money than the entry level models, which seemed a little stingy on kit. A very good 4x4 for the money and not overly expensive to run for it’s size. Excellent resale value too has to be a consideration.

Most surprising element was the fuel economy of the 3.2 diesel engine. I expected it to do far less per litre. On road this is avery smooth ride, easily manouverable despite its apparant size. In ice/snow the 4 wheel drive performs very well and control is easily kept. Off road in low and very low drive this vehicle needs off road tyres. On general off road, grass damp surfaces it performs well. Once the mud starts to depen it gets more difficult without the all terain tyres. With them it drives, even when i sunk it to the axles.... not on purpose of course. The all leather interior was comfortable and the driving controls are well placed and easy to reach and use.

The 2006 L200 is a massive improvement on the old model. Much better fuel economy, better diving experience including a significantly improved turning circle which on the old model was awful. The driving experience is far more like a car than a van, particularly now that the vehicle has sat nav & rear parking sensors. Also, unlike the old model, you can drive the new one in permanent 4 wheel drive which is very useful in the wet.

This is a brilliant little car, perfect for city living. You can park on a sixpence in this and it seats 4 people very comfortably. The boot is a little tight but there are loads of other storage cubbyholes dotted around to make up for it. It comes fully kitted out with climate control, electric windows, central locking and a rather good CD player. Very good value for money and literally sips fuel.

Gorgeous little carbriolet with bags of personality and enough zip to keep a smile on your face. Boot is huge when the roof is up and the cabin is very comfortable for the driver. Handles beautifully and turns heads where ever it goes. The visibility on this car takes some getting used to because of the position of the windscreen pillars, which is the only bad mark against this car.

Own Shogun Field, have problem with gearbox locking intermittently. Told by local dealer and Colt cars that if fault not seen by garage than no further investigation will be undertaken until vehicle breaks down. Car is 05 and still under warranty. Have been very pleased with Shogun up to now but would not consider buying another one due to after sales service.

I test drove this and the Nissan Navara fully expecting to be giving my business yet again to Nissan but this car just blew me away. Just looking at it you know it’s going to be exciting to drive and it really does not disappoint. For a pick up I defy you to find anything as capable and economical that looks this good. Sorry Nissan but you’ll have to go a long way to win me back.
