I sometimes mistake them for Vanagons David, we have a 89Mitsy panel van that was converted to windows and fold down bed. We bought it locally when our 79 Rabbit diesel was totalled in a t-bone accident. I preferred the style over the Toyota but there a lot more Toyotas for parts in the wrecking yards. If I did it over I might go for the Toyota with 4wd. The 2wd Mitsy has terrible traction in snow or mud and gives a choppy ride unless loaded to the max. However, even with 200K, it has been very reliable. Our local Mitsubishi service dept says they go 400K without major engine work. But it has no personality. Ken Hunter 82 Westy 1.9D 84 Jetta 1.5D |
