I know this is a 'rare' model, but any forumers here who have driven, or heard about this car? Mitsubishi Pajero IO.

Need to know its performance wise, maintenance, etc. Basically anything about this car.

Thanks!

high FC low power..get the Nautica better, 100% MIJ

Nautica would have been a great car,if they have manual. Hope sooner or later they will have one.

My house have a Pajero but not IO.. It 2.4cc using petrol. What I can said about that car is GOOD.. FC is wise. pump RM80 can go 300km+-. About power, it more great especially at highway. You won't feel that you are hitting 160kmh. My house Pajero was maintaince nicely by my dad and do some modification. The suspension already cost him Rm2k+.

The thing I dun like about it is, about the wheel.. It so expensive. Rm400++ per tire.

How much does a full tank cost for your sisters Pajero io?

For comparison:-

My Kembara 1.3 auto fulltank plus minus RM5 is about RM70 everytime I refill.

My habit I'll reset the trip meter after refuel, average travel is 420km consistently until I need to refuel.

Average speed 80km/h. Max 120km/h on empty stretch of highway. I mostly travel between or around Cyberjaya and Puchong.

Don't understand....

i see lotsa different opinion here.

yes, wanna know fulll tank is how much?
i believe it only has one variant right? The Pajero IO 1.8(A) Year 2000.
any other variant of which i do not know? i knows there's manual 2.0. But not in malaysia?

Added on June 3, 2008, 1:37 pmthanks.

so , i'll assume everything would be around 2/3 in the 1.8 model?

btw, the 2.4cc is which year one?

as acbc state, there should be 1.8 straight 4 cylinder engine or 3.0 V6 configuration engine.. i myself not too sure..
full tank should be more or less rm80, tomorrow i will ask for actual figure

I remember in the 4G9X Manual from Mitsubishi, the 1.8 engine for Pajero IO is a SOHC version...that's all that i know...

The 1.8 version cost about 40-50k rite? it's a nice car though, cute

Oh ya, the tire price isn't cheap too thick ones

Added on June 4, 2008, 2:16 pmWhere to get this Manual?

Yes, a used one around that price now. Yup, at least nice from the exterior! That's why need more info on the interior.

pajero .. drink fuel like water

No more comments?

maintenance wise, expensive, 1 tyre 600 ringgit.

not yet plus petrol. summore petrol are going up,

not surprised that its selling cheap.

my dad change the Isuzu trooper tyre. 1.5k for all 4 since friend price.

but if no friend price .. got 2k gua.

RM600 tyre? Sure or not? My dad pajero using Yokohama GEOLANDAR H/T-S P255/70R16 only RM350 during CNY... My dad pajero 1997 2.4cc using 4G64 SOHC full tank RM110 can go 380km-400km... I think the fc still normal...

My parents drove a Pajero IO 1.8L GDi engine if not mistaken, it gave them problems such as the car would stall all of a sudden and we couldn't receive Malaysia radio channels. The car was purchase when it was launched @ Malaysia through Naza.

I think the GDi version is kinda rare on the road. What did the mechanic say about it???

toyota land cruiser ninth generation( 5.7L 381 hp Dual VVTi V8) ftw plus rare

pajero io not bad also

I4 become V8
2.4 become 5.7

@.@

Wan a good 4x4 get the Trooper lah, diesel one. RM 50 diesel can go 200km.

while i was doing my stuff back then at the east side of malaysia, pajero is smooth but landcruiser are much more reliable if you are at the rural area

i'm afraid of the expensive and hard-to-get spare parts of Trooper.....wat ur say?

PETROL.
however u can drive safely i guess, bigass car

ya trooper also good

most older 4x4s are not monocoque-constructed, so you can't say driving one of them will definitely make your life safer no matter how big they are

pajero io should compare to rav4 or crv, not land cruisser

considering tht we lives in malaysia..so it's kinda hard to get imported car tht comes in manual. luckily toyota manage to sell manual vios here.

actually in thailand their civic and corolla also have manual

yes, that's what i'm thinking.

This car only have year 1999?how about year 2000 or 2001?

i'm wondering too.....

Hey guys,do you all realise that Pajero IO is a mini version of Pajero...not like the normal Pajero which go off-road + big,expensive off-road tyre,Pajero IO use low profile tyre

Pajero 2.6 petrol model are famous for thier gas guzzler behavior,2.4 petrol are better,3.0 V6 are a smooth and fuel effiecient engine the most fuel economy one is the 2.5 Turbo Diesel and 2.8 Turbo Diesel,diesel model pajero are more easily to maintain and more reliable,for off-roading event diesel engine dosn't suffer from dipping into water as it dosn't have electronic ignition system,as long it can suck dry air free from water even the whole engine dip into water also can still run so this is perfect for off-roading

Pajero not safe...what a joke,if you see a pajero MK1 with bullbar on front hit a proton saga at speed of 50 Km/h,you see what will happen to the proton saga and the Pajero...

Im agree with you Pajero 4D56....it is mini Pajero....but sadly it is very hard to get 2doors.....got someone want to sell but value around 50K.....compare to 4doors it is much more cheaper.....

Im thinking to get this Pajero IO 1.8 auto......but im still looking for the satisifed answer....i hope this thread will go longer so we can share and discuss about it.....

i think it's a rare pajero. it's very cute though.
Maintenance wise, i m not too sure. But fc is defintely more than a sedan.
It has higher sitting position for better driving.

Tyre should be from RM 2xx a piece. More or less kembara size tyre.

Found this at Mudah.com.my.....but not IO

My dad's pajero tire blowned once after changed to cheap tyre...

Why not just take suzuki sportage? FC is much better, people will afraid to bully on the road also..

Suzuki Sportage.....what car is that i didn't hear it b4

Pajero IO is more cute,reliable,and more stuff to play....you think it was a city machine,then i can say you are totally wrong,the Pajero IO also equiped with 4WD with a Mitsubishi Dakar Rally winner Pajero SS4 system that won't lose to any off-roader in the same class

The 1.8 engine engine can churns out 141PS and 181N.m of torque

While the more rare 1.8T model producing 192 PS and 270N.m of torque

These engine is carrying only about 1200Kg of weight so capable to 170Km/h without difficult....it are good natured at both city and off-road driving,it's 8 Inch ground clearance give the SUV such good for off-road driving yet give a sporty feel when it's on tarmac.... and the Pajero IO are enought wide to provide a very confortable ride for 4 Adult and resonable space for Adult,this SUV is a good car to drive around city or use as Workhorse as the Fuel Consumption is at 10Litres/100Kms....

So you consider yourself lar which one you want
