Drove The Mitsubishi L200 Pick-UP Truck For 3 Weeks
In a recent vacation trip to a foreign country I drove the Mitsubishi L 200 Diesel 4-door pick-up truck. Here is the run-down;
-Excellent space for front and back passengers.
-Excellent space at the back for carrying motorcycles or furniture WITHOUT making the truck look ugly or too long.
-Not too big for parking in mall parking spots.
-Very high! The lowest part of the chassis is at least 14-inches off the ground! Loved the high seating position.
-More than enough power and acceleration for being a diesel. It had the same acceleration power as my ex V6 gasoline Chevy Venture minivan which was not a slugger at all.
-I had 5 passengers in the cabin (can seat 6 albeit there will be a passenger without a seatbelt) and had 8 people at the back and climbed mountain roads like a breeze, no sluggishness.
-I love the sporty appearance it has! Looks like a Honda Civic at the front.
-Its 4X4 with a big dial right beside you to change it from 2X2.
-Lots of leg space for everyone. Big cabin, both at the front and the back.
-Comes with an actual cigarrette lighter and ashtray!
-Okay here's the icing on the cake. I have never driven a vehicle with better fuel mileage than this truck (except for a diesel VW Jetta). Not even the RAM Eco-Diesel 1500 can hold a candle to this truck in fuel economy. From almost empty it only took $37 u.s. dollars to fill it up and I drove 122 km one-way and 122 km the other way and it only spent 2 bars of fuel from a total of 10 bars.
The only negative I saw from this truck is that it lacks enough USB connections. It only has one. That's pathetic in this day and age. Also they are not too much worried about being Fancy in the instrument cluster panel. At night when you look at the cluster it looks as if you are driving a Chevy Cobalt from the early 1990's. Its dull and not espectacular. It has an LCD screen for radio/audio but its as big as the screen of a Galaxy S3 and its strictly for audio and radio stations.
But on the plus side it has excellent handling skills in curves at high speeds and a remarkable stability. I would buy it over any other japanese truck. I can't imagine a Toyota or Nissan truck being any better.
