Which One Is The Best !!

[Chathurike]

hey im looking for jeep !! i hav 2 choices

mitsubishi pajero (palath sabha model)

Isuzu Trooper

wich 1 is da best !! plz leave ur commentz !!

cheers

[MRM]

i also had a time deciding from which one to get out of the above two ,

finally settled for a trooper due to following,

1) Fuel consumption is better in the troopie

2) and the isuzu diesel engines are much more reliable and long lasting compared to the Mistsubishi, ( other than the gemini engine )

3) love the recaro seats as it gives good ride comfort on long distance journeys

4) Trooper is Slightly cheaper than the pajero

personally ti like the rugged look of the trooper compared to the pajero , and i was very perticular about the color as i only wanted white ,

this is my 2 cents

here is a pic of my troopie

personally i would prefer the pajero as a friend of mine has one in mint condition and it has not given any problems.

it is also more comfortable than the trooper.

however if you are looking for a vehicle for yourself i would recommend a diesel hi lux single cab it the same cost or if money is no option a used 166.... for a little more $$$

i have troopie as well...i use it mainly to haul drunkards around the wennappuwa town on weekends(the curse of being the only teetotaller in the bunch...lol).

well the pajero is the better choice,it is more refined than the suzie...but the price those buggers are asking for it now is outrageous...

the troopie is far better value for money,it is a bit loud and a bit rough around the edges...but isuzu's no nonsense approach to car building has won me over,it almost never breaksdown and if it does there are spare parts everywhere for cheap...5 STARS!!!

agree with you on this , as tropie dash and few other things are also more old fashioned , and this is the raason why i feel the paj is more expensive ofcouse the Mitsubishi name has a better demand ( Value ) than isuzu .

does anyone know anything about the "handling by Lotus" and "Irmscher" editions?? always been curious as to what Lotus did to tweak a diesel SUV's performance!

Irmscher was a german tuning house, as far as I can tell all the Irmscher edition did was get the recaro seats and some body extensions... Mostly a Trim level.

Isuzu and Lotus worked together in the 80's because both had ties to General Motors, Lotus used an Isuzu sourced engine in the FWD Elan remember?

If i remember correctly, They did some suspension tuning on the Troopie, to make it more interesting on the road, hence the "handling by lotus" badging.

I knew it was a German tuner - those Recaro's are the funky very 80's looking things with the mesh head rests right?!

FRONT wheel drive Elan?? do elaborate!

to be fair and prove that what you say is true i think you should take a completely independent 3rd party such as myself for a round in that thing to substantiate your claims

Are you refering to the New Single Cab comming from Thailand ?

The price is really good and you have capacity for 4 people eventhough the rear is a bit cramped up.

I am in two minds of selling the Jimny and getting one of those. Only concern is that the vehicle is comming out of Thailand and we all know the re sale value difference between the Suzuki Swift from India Vs Japan.

so aren't all Hilux's , Fortuners & everything on that platform made in Thailand anyway?

I think its only the Cabs come out of Thailand, Seriously doubt they make the Fortuner over there .

Really? you didnt know? that was the result of lotus trying to re-invent the wheel so to speak in the late 80's (when else?) and deciding that conventional sports car wisdom was all wrong and that the layout of hot hatches was the way to go... transverse FWD in a roadster.... Unfortunately though it was a nice idea they launched it just about slightly after mazda decided to try it's hand at making a modernized copy of the original RWD elan, and we all know how that story went!
