Overview and Common Failures
Body and Interior The paintwork is weak, if the body is galvanized and does not rust. On the forum, people complain only about quickly clouding chrome and too soft glass. The interior is spacious, the finishing materials are of average quality, but the assembly is decent. Owners note that the seating position is not very comfortable and there is insufficient noise insulation. Regular electric failures cause quite a lot of trouble here. Engine The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine 4G63S4T from Mitsubishi is renowned for its reliability. Owners criticize it for high fuel consumption with not the best dynamics. So far, the most common breakdowns are oil leaks and turbine failure. Changing to higher quality spark plugs helps with unstable engine performance. Transmission The 6-speed ZM016HF manual transmission is quite reliable, but not without its weaknesses. On the forum, people often complain about noise and crunch when engaging reverse gear. There are no major complaints about the performance of the SUV's all-wheel drive system. Chassis The suspension here is reliable, and there is also a wide selection of non-genuine spare parts, which is pleasing. The steering requires getting used to, but the rack itself is sturdy and doesn't cause any issues. The brakes are not the most effective and have a short lifespan, but there are good alternatives available.
