Have a 2000 4 door Montero since 1999 (Bought new) and is still my daily driver. Excellent vehicle.

[@syxepop]

One of the last BOF Monteros, in '01 Mitsu switched to unibody (at the time the largest unibody SUV on sale).

[@martytdd1606]

They do that in America don't they. The car is built and sold in the present, but the dealership tell you it's from the future. Even the documents are done up as such.

[@humbertorubi4947]

Marty TDD And still far better than all these new craps you see in the market nowadays.

[@Erin-Thor]

Interesting! I have the newer unibody frame on my 2002 Montero. It’s 18 years old (purchased new in 2001) and has well over 220k miles on it. 2017 was my FIRST shop repair when the sunroof got stuck open. Sadly though... Nisan exec's feel their vehicles are better and the Monte is dead. 2018 sales worldwide were 1000 units. That's nothing.

[@matschrepf]

@@Erin-Thor yeah I have an 03 exceed with 250k and only things I've had to replace and im going out bush all the time is tires, cvs, fuses and a fuel pump. 3inch is the most you can get them lifted due to being a solid body or somthing but hey you get a 4/4 in roll safety haha but still I haven't found a 4x4 track I haven't been able to get through if other cars can get through.

[@Terminator-ow5oe]

I think he never smoked

[@thesprawl2361]

He's very 'yarse, ew yarse absolyootley, shoot my butler'. Back then the show was fronted by a bunch of awful posho toryboys who spoke like you were scum and they were doing you a favour. So I'd imagine Jeremy tried to fit in. And over time he realised they were dull, he was more interesting and, more importantly, popular than they were, and he started leaning into his own personality a bit more. And the show responded by making him the focus. Very good idea.

Pajero Evolution not only won 12 times, it was on the podium almost every year from 84 to 2007. Couple of years only Mitsubishis were on the podium. Idk what happened to them after 2007. May be it was the economic crash of 2008.

[@Byrxn]

They have financial problems.

[@thatcopenguy]

They're gonna have even more financial problems for not producing any good cars. Frankly I still don't know how things went wrong with Mitsubishi. But at the point where they stopped innovating is when they start dying. I can't recommend any of their cars anymore. Any brand new Mitsubishi looks like a 10 y/o car out of the box. Might as well just buy a 10 y/o one for a third of the price.

[@Byrxn]

@@thatcopenguy if you dont live in big countries then their are good mitsubishi cars

[@thatcopenguy]

@@Byrxn I actually know EU/US and ASEAN market well. By ASEAN standards, I say they have 3 cars that are solid ( Xpander, Pajero Sport, Triton ), considering the technology development and build quality in the market. I might still be able to recommend those 3 cars. Problem is that EU/US spec cars have the same technology and build quality as ASEAN spec cars, which is just embarrassing. It's a dying brand that's underdeveloped and it's sad to see where Mitsubishi is heading.

I like the quaintness of these old episodes. It reminds me of the old Motortrend shows I watched in the US as a kid.

[@thunder230mph6]

I live in the US, where we get it as the Montero, I actually prefer its original name "Shogun" because that I feel that it is far better suited to this vehicle unlike those 2 other names. Mainly since "shogun" means "general" in Japanese, it is very appropriate as this truck is like a warrior when off-road, and it's strong and very well-built.

[@KoushiroIzumi85]

+Seth Guest It's original name is actually "Pajero". "Shogun" is the name for it only in the U.K. market. We don't get it in the U.S. because Mitsubishi Motors North America hasn't sold the Montero since 2006.

[@Keckegenkai]

+KoushiroIzumi85 Which is a dmn fucking shame.

[@bimosalexandres]

i prefer the land cruiser or nissan patrol as an offroading car though

[@thunder230mph6]

KoushiroIzumi85 I hope you don't me saying this, but I just thought that "Shogun" was a better name for it and reflected it's origins more than "Montero".

[@KoushiroIzumi85]

I was only pointing out that Pajero was it's original name and not Shogun (which you claimed in your original comment). Shogun does sound better than Montero, though.

[@JuanDiegoPinillos]

This Mitsubishi was called "Montero " in Latin America instead of its original name "Pajero" (only used in Brazil) ... why? because Pajero in some Latin American countries means "wanker" and obviously, nobody wants a car named wanker

Juan Diego Pinillos - MITSUBISHI SOLD THEIR TOUGH BIG OLD SUV’S AS PAJEROS AND MONTEROS IN INDIA. THESE NAMES MEAN NOTHING HERE. JUST SOUND VAGUELY LATINO. NOW SADLY MITSUBISHI DID AN OWN GOAL AND HAS SINCE DIED IN THE INDIAN MARKET.

[@NafiulKarim]

Shankar, Pajero was never a real part of the Indian market. The double trim version was introduced new in India when this face of the Pajero 2 was already dead. The 3.5L full grade was only used by the ultra rich of India in the 90s to some extent and that was it. We in Bangladesh in the other hand abused it to full scale. They rocked the 90s and the early 2000s. So much so that the Shotgun is still assembled in Bangladesh by Pragati.

[@areasevenpro]

Amazing how Clarkson's opinion on this car has changed over the years. While he praises it in this episode, he blows one up in one of his recent DVD specials. Also, IIRC, the new Top Gear destroyed a couple of Shoguns.

[@malthuswasright]

TG was never good on consistency. They loved the Peugeot 1008 when it came out, then panned it years later in their piece on how awful Peugeots had become.

[@Erin-Thor]

As a Land Rover and Mitsubishi owner, I can say without question the Mitsubishi Montero, Shogun wins hands down in every category. My Land Cruiser was not as off road capable as the Montero. The Montero experienced only one failure (Sunroof got stuck open) in 17 years and 220k miles. The Land Cruiser had 3 transmission failures, and a half dozen electrical failures before I sold it at 47k miles 4 years after purchase.

I used to have a 2.8 TD LWB Pajero which I gave an abosolute hammering. Was a great car. Only put 33" mud tyres on and a 2" suspension lift and I was able to do anything any other 4x4 could including heavily modified landrovers with THOUSANDS spent of them... Actually, I've lost count of the number of land rovers I've pulled out with it! Only ever got stuck once and that was in a deep bog that I sank in up to nearly my wing mirrors! My 3.0 V6 SWB shogun on the other hand... Bog standard except for 31" BFG Muds and it's even better still! Its an animal! Only thing to watch out for is wet roads with mud or shit road tyres on though. With all that power it doesn't take very much to end you up sideways ;) my next one is going to be the 3.5 V6 or the Evolution spec model!
