Fuel Economy: 1.4 km/litre (71.4 L/100 km), Diesel, Mileage: 800 km/month
2012 Mitsubishi Triton VGT 2.5
62000km on the clock
INTERIOR
- Well built & robust interior (No rattles & flimsy parts)
- Smart placement for controls
- iPod & USB connectivity
- Lots of space to store stuff (Glovebox, cup holders, side door pockets, etc)
- Spacious rear leg and head room
- Comfortable seats
- Air-cond is suitable for Malaysian climate
PERFORMANCE
- Excellent reliability (Never broke down once)
- Very easy to drive apart from parking
- Fuel efficiency is quite good
- Great handling for pick up trucks
- Punchy engine with powerful VGT turbo
- Car is stable at high speeds
- 5 speed gear box is fine
- Easy switch to 4WD
- Best in class turning radius is an incredible improvement over the Mitsubishi Storm
- Steering feel is quite alright
- Brakes are fine
OTHERS
- Spacious cargo bay
- Design is still looks alright even though it was first introduced in 2005
INTERIOR
- Interior may be robust but materials makes it feel cheap
- Fabric interior (already comes as standard in 3.2 or VGT GS)
- Audio quality is low and lack of bluetooth (already improved and standard in VGT GS)
PERFORMANCE
- Handling is great for pick up trucks but still experience major body roll like all pick-ups
- Engine is incredibly loud like a lorry
- Turbo may sometimes lagg but this isn't a problem for me
- Bumpy ride but livable
OVERALL
- Due to the long wheel base, this car is difficult to park with the lack of rear view camera (Get the VGT GS if you don't need the extra cargo space)
To improve
- Revise interior materials in next gen and make it some sort like in the top spec 2014 Chevy Colorado. Limit the use of hard plastic
- turbo lagg issue must be dealt with but this isn't a problem for me
Yes, I would recommend this car
