Doug the type of guy that worries that, given his 6’3”/6’4” stature, he might not fit inside the teeny tiny Pajero Mini wearing his usual 2 shirtz so he goes bold and wears only ONE!

I used to have one of these here in Japan for a few years. I can report that yes, you want one. I loved it and would buy another. You can literally wrap your arms around the whole front and give it a hug. Mine was almost exactly like this one, but had a 5 speed manual. The XR-II badge on the side means it's the turbo version and yes you want that and the manual. It is fun to drive but crashes over bumps which gets tiring. It does rev high-ish, but the noise makes you back off every time. It doesn't sound... happy doing it. the K classification is more about the engine size which is always just under 660cc. the K cars now can be pretty big actually. Theoretically, the small engine gets the tax breaks due to small size efficiency, less pollution and weight. yes weight. in japan, you pay more for having a heavier car. Because it's... heavier. but that engine was NOT fuel efficient nor was it very clean. it's reliable, but that's it only quality. it's more of a gimmick to sell more domestic cars in japan. always has been. I used it in RWD mode, but the 4WD and low range box worked fantastic in the deep snow despite it not having a limited slip diff or traction control. pros of it's very light weight. and not 100%, but i'm very sure that remote starter is after market. I think problems with those pajero minis are rust and the front axles seizing up under 4WD sharp turns especially in low range mode. other than that, just cheap interior bits. the AC worked fine, but I could feel the difference in power. no big deal. the roof is mainly a flexible piece of plastic with a single questionable roll bar behind the door. but you won't be taking that on a US interstate often unless you want to hear 5000 to 6000 rpms the whole time. you can pick and choose these all day in japan from 1500 to 3000 dollars. lots available. they never stopped making the Suzuki Jimny, but it grew into a boring looking thing and didn't look cool until now. but yeah, Pajero minis rock.

The remote starter is common in Japanese cold areas, it’s quite useful in winter when you car is parked covered in snow or ice. Nowadays cars run about five minutes before turning off just enough time to defrost your windshield and warm up your car and engine. It can work for far (couple of blocks) that’s why the antena. But like I said is basically used on winters in the comfort of you house. Is not to show off it’s a common feature here.

Only Americans care about land yachts for off roading. Suzuki Jimny, Daihatsu Feroza, Isuzu MU-X and so many other tiny 4WD’s have been going for decades and are so good for getting places because they weigh nothing. They don’t get bogged as easily and they are so much easier to winch when shit happens. Even with the tiny motors, they’ll climb almost vertical dunes.

It seems to me that the dealership probably was getting into financial trouble due to the lockdowns and all and to keep paying their bills they started cheating with the cars they had on consignment and using that money to pay said bills. I understand how it could happen, but it is completely inexcusable behavior and a beyond stupid management decision if indeed that was what happened. You can't simply sell something that belongs to someone else and not give them what they are owed based on the terms of the agreement.

They should totally remake this with a few updates and it would be awesome. It looks cool already in my opinion. With some modern tech and a bit “mo powwa”it would be rad.

@@kazumekku AWD vehicles ARE heavier. 4WD is lighter than AWD, and there is a big difference in how they function. Pajero mini just has a bare bones basic 4WD setup.

But here's the thing, Japan steadily increased the HP limit on kei cars over the decades, but... Mitsubishi never really bothered keeping up with the times, they used the same 4A3 engine, making about 50 horsepower, in the pajero mini for a LONG time.

@@hatman4818 Oh ok, thanks. You're probably correct, and you definitely called me out on 4WD and AWD. I have little knowledge of how they differ. I found a source for detailed specs on the vehicle, though, by google searching, "mitsubishi pajero mini weight," and using the website called, "tc-v." (I would simply add the link here, however, I'm used to external links being moderated and blocked) Anyways, it would seem the 4WD system adds around 150 lbs (70 kg), I guess, compared to the FWD version. I was just amazed that despite the rugged drivetrain, the vehicle still weighs less than most compact cars from that era. I can definitely imagine how slow this vehicle is now though, with its low-power engine being the main cause then, so I amend that statement about it deserving a higher acceleration score. Still, 4WD and light-weight sounds like a good recipe for quick launches, but also "tc-v" did have specs on max power, rated at 63 hp (47kW[64ps]@6000rpm). Maybe, at the crank? Still, really slow, but seemingly efficient for the engine size.
