Mitsubishi Shogun SW 1984

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Hard to rate. I personally think it's worth every penny but I could have bought a brand new car for what I paid used?

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Servicing parts can be expensive (£35 for an oil filter) and the oil should be changed every 4500 miles but nothing seems to wear out on these things. Fuel cost can be high, mine returns on average 22-26mpg

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good for type of car. Very stable and easy to drive considering its size. Handles very well despite its high centre of gravity but tyres do make an enormous difference. Excellent off-road only let down by ground clearance (compared to my series La

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very responsive with lots of torque. May not be GTi at the lights but it's as good as most small cars. Low top end speed but will cruise all day at 80 (erm... sorry, 70mph)

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent. Covered around 20,000 miles now with out a single problem.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    In my eyes one of the best looking 4x4s. Clean lines with nice interior both put together using good quality materials.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very comfortable. Seats and steering can be adjusted better than any other car I've known. Tall people may need to adjust the seat runners as at 5'7 my seat is almost at the end of it's run.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Standard security poor. Needs aftermarket alarm for peace of mind.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Serviced myself but dealer seems very helpfull. Did a check on the pitman arm recall with out asking. Even took me to work and back whilst it was being done.
