On the look out for a replacement vehicle at the minute and thinking of going looking at a few of these in the new year, not new, probably 2013 to 2015 age bracket. Think they can tick most of the boxes we need at the minute... 7 seats, bit of towing capacity (I only need to be able to drag 2ton), 4wd for the occasional trip across a field, or out of the house in dodgy weather if needed!, and they r not crazy on emmisions (for irish motor tax reasons!).
Anybody any experience of them??, or recommend anything else should be looking at?, can't seem to warm to the hyundai or kia equivalents and subaru foresters r hens teeth in this part of the world for some reason, is there anything else?
I know the mitsi probably won't be the most inspiring of drives! (currently in a 2007 1.4 golf so can't be much worse! [emoji23]) , but if I can get this all worked out this will allow us to replace the second car wit something more exciting down the line... hopefully!

We had one for a couple of years after the Shogun gave up on us. It was OK when it was working, but it was the most unreliable vehicle we’ve ever owned.
I was very pleased that I had bought it (at 3yrs old) through a dealership, so at least I had a warranty to cover it’s numerous visits back there.

Very pleased to see the back of it tbh, but maybe it was just a wrong ‘un?

Iirc @unlacedgecko had a hybrid one?

You might get more replies if this was posted in the ‘machinery’ section.;)

Thanks for the tag.

Yes had a hybrid one. Useless for anything but taking the kids to school. Electric range was approx 15 miles, less if you wanted to use electrics like heater, radio, lights or wipers.

When on petrol tank was undersized and range pathetic.

I wouldn't have one given.

Cheers, will be the 2.2 diesel i am aiming at, but your experience could explain the apparent good value!!
I thought I had posted in machinery but I am on the app here so not sure really where it has ended up!!
