I am planning to purchase a pajero fieldmaster '03 or the isuzu trooper. though i have no experience with either since they are both diesel suv's (automatic and on road usage only, sunroof or vcd aspect not important), WHICH IS BETTER!?? :?:
answers from experienced owners and fanatics appreciated:
- any problems regarding smoke belching after 3 to 5 years?
- any brake or tranmission problems?
- is it a bumpy ride?
- will i be having a problem later since its a diesel engine?
- is it noisy?
- which is more comfortable?
1. smoke belching - mausok pero nawawala you just have to let it all out once in a while (rev. in hi-rpm)
2. So far wala pang problem coz it's still new
3. the ride is car like... but not comparable to sedans... pero ok na rin.
4. the trooper is known because of its engine... 160 hp!
5. di naririnig sa loob yung engine noise... if ever bearable naman, also di mo maramdaman ang vibration ng makina... kung meron man mahina lang.
if youre gonna buy now, as in now, go for the trooper.
the pajero is going to be replaced soon............. very soon. If it features the new 4M41 engine, it will have THE most powerful diesel engine in its class (185hp). Thats a big if though. It will be more comfy on-road coz full independent suspension na yon.
If you can wait. go for the Gen3 Pajero. Did i mention it looks pretty pretty hot?
i've tried the '01trooper A/T w/ 50T kms mileage last sunday from manila-tagaytay-los banos-manila. ang lakas ng hatak! parang manual din sa arangkada at parang de gasolina ang makina di maingay sa cabin.
ahehehe! hands down Trooper! Kahit ako trooper pipiliin ko. Pero ibang iba talaga gen3 Paj. Baka mag-sisi ka if you get the Trooper now, tapos ilalabas ng Mitsu late this year or early next year yung Gen3.
