Buy a Vehicle History Check now! 👉 bit.ly/4b94XPc
If you’re unsure what this little thing even is, think of the Mitsubishi Pajero Mini as a competitor to the hugely popular Suzuki Jimmy Sierra.
But, one thing the Jimmy has over this, I the fact that the Jimmy was delivered locally, whereas the Pajero Mini is an import, so there are a few considerations if you’re in the market to buy one. But should you buy one? In this video, we see what goes wrong, how they are to live with, what you get, and whether you should spend your money on one.

[@atomimaichi]

I have one. It's super easy to make it a little faster, at least if you have the turbo (which you need). The turbo has a bypass valve, and it's adjustable with just a couple nuts and you get free extra boost. Add an aftermarket intake (the stock intake is the first restriction) and it's no longer painfully slow.

[@fossilfueled27]

I own a Jimny, and love it to death, but you can clearly tell Mitsubishi put tonnes more thought into how to use the interior space. Using the little storage tray under the boot/trunk floor to raise it to the height of the rear seats when tilted is small, but really clever.

[@jonathonpetersen3634]

The JB74 Jimmy's have the same sort of storage box to level out the boot

[@fossilfueled27]

@@jonathonpetersen3634 yep, only took them 20 years :P doesn't help that the JB74 boot is even smaller than the old Jimny, even without the storage box taking up some space.

[@MollyDogsm]

@@fossilfueled27 yeah but you get more rear seat space as a trade off. everything in these cars is a compromise one way or another.

[@TwistedDonners]

This car looks like someone has made a kids go kart in the style of the Pajero. This would be a decent car to have on a property for teens to drive as it's got the bare essentials and it'd make them hype aware of there surroundings. I'm suprised you guys found a cricket translator as I only thought you could get them for crows and maggies lol 😂. Brilliant job guys and I look forward to this Sunday's video as per usual 👍.

The 2 main problems with the Suzuki Jimny are: it needs to be 2 inches wider & longer and a 2 liter engine instead of 1.5 🤔

[@perpetualgrin5804]

Needs an extra gear also ?

[@Station2066]

I don’t trust a vehicle that can’t perform well on the freeway. Why make these for commuting performance. Just weird. Too many cons.

[@samartz]

100% with the engine capacity, i do like the size though

[@josh3221ify]

Jimny is perfect, if it's not for you, go buy something else

[@gerhardstrydom5249]

In South Africa it's called a Pajero IO...it came with an 1800cc engine. Love it👏

[@andrevanderwalt2515]

This is one size smaller than a iO too, it is tiny

[@gerhardstrydom5249]

[@mattdebyl8806]

Nah, we got the IO here. Mini is smaller.

[@louisvanzyl]

I love your channel. Could you please do a review on a VOLVO V40 D2 if possible. It is a great option in terms of fuel consumption but I have no idea of what it is like to drive. Keep up the good work. Luckily South-African cars are mostly the same as yours.

[@chrisweeks6973]

That Flying Pug looks like cross between an FX4 taxi and a Triumph Mayflower! 😁

[@harrier1830]

You should do a video on how to import and what to look for when import jdm cars

[@ReDriven]

It’s in the works!

[@mrgurulittle7000]

Ooh one of my favorites! I hear Mitsubishi would resurrect the Pajero Mini again some time. Glad you did this review. You can buy these for super cheap in Japan.

Picked one up a few months ago, taken her off road twice and she kept up with the big rigs

The Ol Man was driving the Alto RS tonight down to the Fish n Chip shop. He was backing out and was like Oh doesn't have a reverse camera (he drives a Road Train as his daily😂) I remarked "It's a Smeg Toaster what do yo need a Reverse Camera For? You need it? Hand in your ticket😂'

[@user-cn6re9jr1t]

There are some nice JDM cars but I think they are just too difficult with parts and insurance

[@lucasmarques4409]

How about finding parts in Australia?

[@Hackapoid18]

You guys are forgetting IFS vs Solid Axle when comparing to the jimny!!!!!!

The flying pug looked like a shunted London cab

[@chronicle_4]

wish i could have one. Afaik, Pajero mini is IFS unlike the Jimny, hence it is more comfortable.

[@nikolakovak1272]

please review toyota fielder

[@kidoctane]

How do these compare to Pajero Pinin ?? Is the same car ??

[@Lost_on_stage_again]

First saw one of these a couple of days ago. My first thought was "cooler than a Jimni".

[@A-Negative]

Wish people in the states could buy either of them!

[@samartz]

Problem with these mini 4wds, theres not much space to fit your camping gear. And you end up stacking heaps of stuff on the roof rack hitting things and heaps of wind noise

[@josh3221ify]

Don't take all your Luis Vuitton luggage set when going camping

[@indyrock8148]

Fold the rear seats forward gets plenty of storage for true camping and use it to limit how much crap your missus brings. You can also just pull a small trailer. They are surprisingly cheap to buy.

[@chrispeteru8217]

Those Mitzi’s are excellent.

[@ronaldov09]

Never even seen one, never knew they existed!

[@judashwayneadam]

This has a bigger brother that is more matched to Suzuki Jimny.. It is the Pajero iO or Pajero Pinin.

[@damilolaakanni]

The Pajero iO is bigger than the Jimny, it has four full sized doors.

[@judashwayneadam]

@@damilolaakanni it has a 3-door version with a 1.5litre engine and 5 speed auto trans

[@lesklower7281]

I do like small cute cars but the lack of torque and power would be a concern l not talking great amounts of power just enough to cruise at 110 kph which any decent 4 cylinder can do

Manual transmission will do justice to these kind of cars & they feel sporty & funny shifty gears even tho they are small displacement cars 🤓

Manual would have to be the only way to go this??

For the price they are way under powered, Rav4 or Suzuki Grand vitara better choice.

[@goosegarage78]

jimmny for the win because Pajero means *wayne kerr* in spanish. and you can buy a jimminy brand new.

If you're that desperate to own a miniature Pajero then buy a Pajero IO for a quarter of the price and with 3 times the engine capacity. Or better yet, put your big boy panties on and buy a far more practical, capable and probably more economical real Pajero.
