There is a simple reason why there are an over abundance of Fortuners on the road compared with MU7's or Ford Everest or The Silly named Pajero " Sport ", <deleted> is the sport all about ? Cos Fortuners are good motors, don't take much working out does it ? And to not want ba car because there are so many of the same model about means what exactly ? You think people are gonna stop and stare at you because you have a Captiva ? One of my cars is a Fortuner, great car it's been, 4 years old, never any problem at all, I mean nothing at all, same everything since new. Resale value will be good too, but you go ahead and get a Chevrolet................yours brand new today will be worth less then my 4 year old Fortuner in 6 years time. I was gonna buy a Captiva until I worked out just how much more a Fortuner is worth. Fortuners are just pick up trucks with seats in the back. Get a Captiva. A 10 year old Fortuner will be worth, how much more than a 6 year old Captiva? I missed that. Give us the numbers. Another falang myth.

A 2009 Pajero Sport 2.5 GT cost 1,070,000 when new, and reasonable KM-for-age (20K/year) models are fetching 950K to 980K used - that's about 11% depreciation after 2 years in the worst case, or ridiculously low 8.5% after 2 years for a better presented model.

Engine noise in the 2011 models has been substantially improved (it has a completely new head design - not just a VG turbo), but even without that, the clatter is only really an issue when the engine is cold - as soon as it warms up it's no more clattery than the 3.0L Toyota, and always better than the 2.5L Toyota diesel or any Isuzu engine. But yes, by Wandrinstar's definition, the PJS is just a poncy Triton too I think the major difference is that Mitsu just put more effort into the interior differentiation between the pickup and the SUV, got the suspension tuning much more balanced between comfort and handling, and gave their PPV better equipment levels for a much more attractive price. Plus it just looks better Interesting to note that the 'big minor change' Fortuner is still being outsold by the PJS 2:1, so regardless of what us TV posters think, the Pajero Sport holds the crown as Thailand's favorite SUV...

sungod Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 A couple of questions from a non petrol head, seriously looking at the PJS, I saw a while back there was a 3.2 version, but now all the engine sizes are 2.5, why was this change?

Also, haven't had the chance to drive one yet, but how is the 2.5, does it have ample power? The Mitsubishi 2.5L was upgraded for the 2011 model year, givign it more power and better fuel economy than the old 3.2L (old 2.5L was 140HP, old 3.2L was 165HP, new 2.5L is 178HP).

For general driving, there is more user friendly grunt out there without revving the nuts off it. Sure MRO or Kata can provide the figures.

Yep, this was discussed in another thread a while back: The 2011 Mitsu 2.5L diesel makes 3Nm less torque than the Toyota 3.0L at 1400 RPM (2nd best engine in the segment, from a HP/torque perspective), but takes the cake from 1800 RPM upwards. Towards the end of 2012 we'll see the new T6 Ranger based Everest take to outright performance crown from the Pajero Sport, but even when that happens, it'll be due to extra cubic capacity (3.2L) - the Mtisu 4D56 2.5L VG Turbo donk will still have the most HP per Litre in the segment, and remain competitive on KM/L for HP against the new tech coming from Ford and Chev.

Then mitsu starts pulling away. They v done a great job, spendt a few thousand hours on refining/tuning, and able to drop one engine (3,2) from logistic Fords new engines are more euro style, obviously spendt more time refining and finding performance, the 2,2 4 pot actually comes in a 200hp edition in Mondeo, still with low end tourque to beat toyota 3,0. Toyota 3,0 has been the most refined japs/Thai pickup/suv engine since 2004, with a smooth power delivery.

sungod Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Went to look/buy PJS on Saturday at a local dealer in Pattaya. 4 WD still available, but the only colour they have at present for 2WD GT is white, the guy told me this was because a newer model is being released in 2 months time and they could take a deposit.

sungod Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Just to revive this thread a little, went to both mitsu dealers in Pattaya and got conflicting stories on model/colour availability (2WD GT). One said no problem 3 weeks, the other said wait 2 months for the new model. Anybody help me here? Also I found both dealers to be far from generous when trying to do the deal ref freebies etc. Does anybody know if its better in Chonburi/Rayong, or Bangkok where I work? Thanks all, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litlos Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 There is another thread in here somewhere that talks about the dealers in Pattaya area as being pretty much impossible to move on discounts etc, and the better deals offered in other areas. Maybe to many rich farangs in Pattaya who do not haggle? I am thinking about PJS and Fortuna and will be looking seriously in a few weeks as not in BKK at the moment. As such I am very interested in the comment on a new model PJS in a couple of months. Did he maybe mean new stock in 2 months? Try a dealer in BKK and can you post what the status is. One of the regular posters MRO has a thread in here as well on planned model changes etc for 2011/12/13 and the only bit mentioned in there for the PJS is the January 2011 update. Some of the other information he has posted has proven to be spot on as well as the PJS update in Jan this year. A friend of mine in BKK wandered into a Mitsubishi dealer in BKK and asked as we were talking about this last weekend. From the dealer as a first offering was "10,000 off 1 year free 1st insurance comprehensive window film body work spoiler skirt etc " So it definitely looks like BKK dealers are after the business and prepared to discount and freebies etc to get it. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungod Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 One of the dealers definitely said new model, pay a deposit and wait for 2 months, he mentioned there would be a very slight price increase. The other said he hadn't heard that and could get me what I wanted in 3 weeks. The plot thickens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
