Mitsubishi Shogun Sport off road
Discussion
Hi folks
I have been offered a Mitsubishi Shogun Sport 2.5 diesel for not very much money. It doesn't have the super select, but it does have high / low range and diff lock, that can only be used when on loose surfaces.
I want to use the car for towing and for the occasional off road / green lane session. I live near Salisbury plain and have always fancied going up there in a 4x4, not on a unreliable moto x bike. There is nothing quite like breaking down in the middle of nowhere, with a mate whose quad also konks out at the same time. T'is chuffing brilliant.
So, I am just wondering what are these cars like to drive on the road? Are they any good when it gets a bit muddy? I would put some decent A/T tyres on, so hopefully that would make some difference. I have also read that these cars like to launch their engine, is this actually true? Or is it internet garbage.
The truck in question has covered 70k and has had a very good service history. No tow bar installed and generally looks in good nic.
Cheers people
