Pajero Petrol

[FredVenne]

Good evening,

I have seen many Pajero like the one we bought. One in Sundre (which I will try to track down) and another one the other day driving from Calgary to Banff. In this forum, is there anyone that has a Pajero petrol? Don't tell me to go on the UK forum it won't help.

Thank you,

Fred

Whats the point of buying a Paj if its Gas?

Other than a couple more accessories/options, why not buy a newer model year Montero from the states or locally for half the price as an importing from Japan??

Just sayin'.. :)

world will be boring if peoples have same things
condition is from show room only 96000 km and total price is amazing low ; never have a chance to buy it from the USA or local dealers

Pajerry, I love the sound of the 3.5 and I love the power on the highway. I love the look and fuel wise there is not much differences between diesel and petrol. I already have a diesel, so why not having a petrol. In winter, it starts like a charm, unlike the Delica. But if for you there is nothing else better than diesel, well I'm sorry to have disappointed you hehehe.

Haha, well. I agree the Gas model is likely better, in just about every way. In fact, other than running WVO, I see no advantage what so ever with diesel. I also think many on this site have been sold the idea it is superior. I have even heard things like, 'the low torque is better in stop and go traffic, since it s a diesel, and its better at crawling, since its a diesel' and all this other non-sense.

Fuel mileage is no better, power is worse, acceleration is worse, fuel is always more, then there is the more expensive lube, worrying about cooling and cracked heads etc etc.

I love the pajero, but to do it again, I would not go JDM. (unless for a land cruiser, or patrol or something)

Before I bought the 98 Cham I looked at the gdi. The comments in the uk scared me regarding reliability. Still loved the way they look though.

sometimes I forgot to plug my Pajero in winter time (Manitoba) -30C no problem to start. In summer time on highway need 13.5L petrol and 17L city winter 20L city
I am crazy and switching totally to RHD and I just bought 1999 Nissan Elgrand 3.2 diesel it is on his way, maybe in middle of April will be parking on my driveway. I am now to have two RHD, will see how it works

Finally my 1999 Nissan Elgrand Highway Star 3.2L diesel 4WD arrived, it is excellent van but for sure not for off road adventure ( to low)
