I always used to like the L200s till I started working at a Mitsi garage, then I realised it's like driving a van, which is alright, if you need a van but I couldn't live with one as my only car. Saying that tho, I hate most 4x4s, cos all the ones I've drove have been like that, apart from Suzuki Jimny's  They're amazing, sideways in a 1.3

I used my friends one for a day and did remember there not being much leg room. Like the seats are very low.

Navara drives marginally better than the L200. Noticed that that one is only the 113hp version. Mitsi have superseeded it with a 134hp engine iirc.
Would be dog slow and with the leaf springs, handles like an oversized pissed jelly.

didn't realise they were so cheap to tax. wondered why some people were bothering with them as thought it would be comparable to a normal 4x4s tax.
But then MPG isn't too good

These were and are a popular choice for many company car drivers, as the BIK tax was stupidly low.
Its been realigned now, once the governemnt realised the loophole and lost revenue opportunity for them. Still cheap mind.
