The Mitsubishi Pajero 2.5 litre is apparently a waste of time and the 3.2 litre is a lot better, but both are prone to giving issues (nobody quite detailed what these issues are, though). The Pajero Sport is a 'raging alcoholic' that will, according to a boardsie on a thread I found, "eat you out of house and home" (that line still makes me laugh ). I can't remember the specifics, but I know the Outlander didn't get a great reception either on the threads I found online. The issues affecting the Pathfinder are apparently also prevalent on the Patrol and Navara, as, from what I gather, they're all pretty much the same jeep with a different body shape. The Suzuki Grand Vitara seems to be hit and miss, but doesn't seem to get too much hatred (from what I've seen). Is the LandCruiser the only reliable jeep on the roads? This seems madness!? (as an aside, any Jeep/SUV I buy would never a work a day of it's ownership with me. I just like the look of them). I do realise that people are more likely to complain than compliment online, and that's fair enough, but surely an imploding engine is a fairly serious issue!?

Dartz wrote: » I tend to peg it when I fill it to keep track of what it's eating. It's a good sign of engine health, for a start. I have seen it do 25mpg, but that's at slightly slower average speed, with less traffic. I think it's running a bit rich too.
Bpmull wrote: » I normally check mpg by the brim method at least once a month it's the best way to keep track of it alright as you said If it starts to drop mpg dramatically for no reason then you know that there is something up with the car.
