Mitsubishi Shogun swb 1999 3L 24v GLS 1999

The Shogun is brilliant on wet & dry roads - it sticks like glue.

Mitsubishi Shogun gls 1993

I bought this shogun for two reasons. One, I always wanted one and Two, the fact that I needed the seating required for the kids. It’s been an interesting purchase over the time I’ve owned it; I have replaced some service items - balance belt etc, but found that I have had some serious welding to do. It’s fabulous off-road, very stable but it feels that on road the gearing could do with an improvement, ie the final gear is rubbish. I would of thought that 60mph at 3,000 rpm is bad, thought it would be better at say 2,000 rpm thereby saving fuel and noise. Overall it’s been good and would buy another one without hesitation.

Mitsubishi Shogun 3.0L td 1996

Hi, I have a 1996 Shogun it is the best car. A lot better than a s****y old Land Rover or Toyota Hilux, it will go anywhere. It has a 3.0L td and does 0 to 60 in 6.6 secs with no super charger! And it has a chrome bull-bar, so Shogun lovers buy a 1996 shogun!

Mitsubishi Shogun equippe lwb 2005

After 75,000 miles and nearly four years towing many of those round the country as a horse transporter this has been 99.9% reliable. Only the alarm fob needed replacing after 3 1/2 years. OK, its a bit wallowy compared to the newest model but no sore back (which I am prone to) on 600mile round trips. Very short 1st gear is so good when towing. Off road my lwb is as good as my old swb Terrano (much more comfy though). Mud, rock crawling etc and ground clearance deceptively good though the tow bar, as with any car can catch at approach and departure points on the steeper inclines. 4x4 system works better than anything I have used off road. Only negative, a bit bland but nothing comes close at this price and pulls 3.3 tonnes. Show me another SUV (Pathfinder, most of the new pick ups, Kia etc) that can legally tow a fully laden Ifor Williams 505 or 510 horse trailer (except disco / defender) at just short of 2.9 tonnes and no road cars. Am about to buy my second Shogun in auto this time.

Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2did elegance 2003

I did not have a bad word for this car until it had reached 51,000 miles. The guide the chain runs through has also twisted and snapped as it is made of plastic and it has completely wrecked the engine. I have looked after my vehicle, serviced it regularly and now have a nice looking car with a completely shattered engine due to the fact the tensioner designed to hold the timing chain taught has in fact snapped and dropped into the timing chain. Mitsubishi want no part off looking into this problem, which at 51,000 miles is a bitter pill to swallow. The cost of repair is running beyond £2000 pounds - you have been warned, this has happened to other people as well.

I think the Shogun is the best car made - no problems ever.

Mitsubishi Shogun Field 2005

Not had a problem with gearbox but rear drive shaft popped from iol seal. It seems there's stress on the circlip that holds in the seal and drive shaft with the consequence of loosing all the oil from the dif. causing damage to gears in the dif. any body out there had similar. My warranty ran out last year not got bill for repairs yet. Hoping Mitsubishi will see this as manufacturing fault and repair under warranty. Other than this, really love the beast best motor I've had.

Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 Elegance LWB 2003

I have had the same problem of overheating when towing and changed the main radiator which fixed the problem. It seems they are not man enough on the automatics as a friend had the same problem on 1999 2.8 and changing the radiator fixed this as well. I had a 1998 2.8 manual before and never had this problem, have been in touch with Mitsubishi UK about this but they do not want to know.

Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 Elegance 2004

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.

Mitsubishi Shogun 2005

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.

Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 DiD Elegance 2004

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.

Mitsubishi Shogun 2006

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.

Mitsubishi Shogun

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.
