My father bought 2011 NT diesel Pajero in early 2014 and have not regretted the purchase at all. I am surprised by the Pajero every time I drive it.
The fuel economy of the vehicle has surprised me considerably, in 2wd which the vehicle is in 95% of the time, the best is 8.3ltr/100km @ 80 to 90kph, and the worst was 10.5ltr/100km @110kph.
I have driven it to Ahmedabad from Mumbai with a hitch and the comfort in driving it the long distances was very surprising.
Yes, there are small irritations of a squeak here and a rattle there, but it’s a 4wd that does work.
