A big favourite with Irish buyers, especially in commercial guise, this is powerful, roomy and has wonderful power. It is one of the toughest off-roaders you’re likely to drive. The build quality is typical Mitsubishi, the engines are particularly powerful, and it easily copes with most terrains. It comes as a three door or five door and there is plenty of space in either model. And there is a decent sized boot. It is a huge driver on the road and is so comfortable you feel no disturbance. It has remarkable off-road ability too. The handling is excellent, the steering is sharp and precise, and it is not affected by the bumpiest of surfaces. The driving position is high and mighty which makes the drive even more enjoyable.
