Hmmn!! pls which particular Honda Accord is this??

olumzzz:
Honda accord 2011 v6

chris81964:
They serve different functions. The accord would out drag the Mitsubishi. Throw in snow mud or sand and it would be a different conversation . Horsepower does not help you in those conditions.

HOTARIO:
Do you own a Mitsubishi Pajero/Shogun, especially from 2007 upwards? Let's connect here to discuss experience, shared thoughts, Mods, maintenance, parts supply/availability, technical support, etc.

I have been an Acura MDX lover (2007 MDX Tech/Ent/Sports package) from 05/2015 to date. Recently found affection for the Pajero/Shogun full size SUV and got a deal on a 2010 model, black on black. My MDX is also 7 seater black on black�

2010 Pajero, one owner from new. 103KM on Odo.

Issues at purchase:
Minimal. Light scratches and cracks in leather seats edges.
One weak ignition coil (No. 5)
One missing fog light chrome



My friend has the 2016 model, bought it brand new, and to date, no issues at all, only servicing and tyre replacement after the original tyre that came with it was expired. The balance and handle is top notch.
Worn steering wheel leather
Few scuffs and scratches on body and fender. No dents
Faulty brake switches
Broken key fob

Works done
Leather repair cream. Small touch fixed leather seats
Ignition coil 5 changed
Fog light chrome fixed
Steering wheel cover installed
Full paint refresh. Oven job
Brake switch replaced
Key fob replaced
General service/Oil change (Total Quartz 7000).
Brand new Bridgestone tyres 265/65R17

Mods done
Led headlights low& full beam installed
Led fog light installed
Android entertainment head unit installed
Rear camera installed

Driving experience?

Awesome. Wifey & the kids have left Acura MDX for me. They are fully on Pajero �.

One bummer though:
Floor under driver side gets hotter than normal especially in heavy traffic. Research on forums finger the Cat Converter. Some people said they fixed theirs by removing the Cat (I'm not sure yet). Will update on this fix.

Overall, I'm loving the Mitsubishi Pajero and looks like it's a keeper for the long haul.

olumzzz:
Yes, they are very different vehicles.
One is an SUV, the other is a sedan.
However, the engine displacement to power ratio is what I was comparing. Not the cars.

chris81964:
The torque that the Mitsubishi can produce and over the range it produces it is what you should look at. An F1 engine is 1.6 liters and yet makes over 1000 hp. Would you compare it to the Honda. The three cylinder Yaris with 1.5 liters produces 300 hp. Does it make your Honda a bad engine?

chris81964:
The person I bought the Pajero from also had a Prado. Guess what they liked the Pajero more

And they still sold it off?
Don’t you think there’s a disjointed thought or idea to this?

ControlModule:
would be really nice to enjoy this as a Pajero owners/enthusiast thread rather than a comparison thread. i have enjoyed the thread so far because it speaks of a different brand and product to what we see everywhere on NL. pls lets keep it that way. A Pajero owner should be able to read this thread and enjoy it while learning a thing or 2 from it.
Everybody knows we all have our favorite brands. There's really no need turning this to another "na my d*ck big pass" thread.

ControlModule:
can you pls possibly provide a review on the following;
1. cost of maintenance?
2. cost of parts
3. ease of getting replacement parts
4. reliability
5. how the suspension performs considering naija roads.


thanks

ControlModule:
big congratulations on the latest purchase. can you share more pix of interior and engine bay?

U just had to bring the d*ck into the discussion

Yesterday, I drove to Epe from Oshodi. I went via Lagos Ibadan expressway.
The Pajero prior to being owned by me averages 500 km per month. The last 2 years as per the owner was spent on the island.
I have put over 500 km in the short time I owned it. The ride is smooth. Would get to 100 without an effort. Refused to go past 120. Lots of noise but no progress. Ride on the Sagamu Benin portion of the road was good. The new Epe road was smooth as butter.
The AC on these cars are good. I did not overheat. I set it to 25 and left it.
Tomorrow I will replace the torn boot, get new spark plugs and replace trans fluid.
Nice ride so far. The vehicle has présence. Black with tinted windows. The police officer that stopped me at a check point only said. Good morning sir. The last time I was driven there they asked for money.
The best stealth vehicle to own. Low cost of entry but a lot of bang for your buck.
Pictures are of my trip to Paradise and the torn boot that will be replaced.
Next time I will take fishing gear with me.

As Toyota fan boys wan come spoil our joy na . Abeg henceforth lets try keep the discussion within our subject matter. As much as possible let's ignore every argument from our noisy neighbors....

Just cruising by in my borrow-pose Landcruiser 200 series 5.7L V8

AutoMoTech:
your tyre will soon burst

kingreign:
Because of a Pajero talk one sex starved fellow start calling d*ck somewhere up there!

olumzzz:
Nice.
Any reason why it wasn't going past 120?

chris81964:
There might be a speed limiter. Good for me when I decide to get a driver. Even when it down shifted it would not go past 120 kph.

kingreign:
What country specs the car from?
Is it GCC or Asia, EU or brand new purchase here?

chris81964:
The owners manual is in French. I was told that Schneider Electric owned it prior. The documentation seems to support that. I will guess it was purchased in Nigeria

kingreign:
It may be electronically limited to 120km/h. Just my assumption.
