Was only a tongue in cheek fishing expedition mate, point taken.

Geez Jason, I thought us Nissan Recovery Drivers would stick together!    :angel:

My Cruiser'll probably be going about 20 years after yours dies. Given mine's about 20 years younger, I reckon this says the 200 is equally as good as past Cruisers, yours included.

Far be it for me to tell Sicilianmama which car to buy. You might have missed the comment in my original post that I nearly bought a Pajero, and I'm sure I'd have been happy with one. But owning a 200 Series, I'm supremely confident that I wouldn't have been AS happy.   :laugh:

Haha. I wasn't refering to mine, gee's its only an old 80 series clunker. I was only sh!t stirring mate as it seemed to be the go. My 80 is 15 years old and still worth 50% of its purchase price, lets hope the 200 follows suit.

Now back to the subject at hand go the Pajero.

Nice to see that someone out there agrees with me. :'(

Ok SM here you go have a look at ours  ;D we picked it up a little over a week ago and so far we are very impressed with it. Its already done 1000k's and the economy is around 9.5km with a mix of stop start and freeway driving. We haven't towed the Expanda yet and our aim is to set it up as tourer.

We got the Platinum deal which will end soon as there isn't many left. Our local dealer has a couple of Active's in stock already which is the next special deal on offer. They have a little less bling like chrome mirrors and chrome grill but come with a nudge bar and rear spoiler.

We got the Nudge bar thrown in on ours and a rear dust deflector so it looked a bit different to all the other Pajero's, the dealer hadn't done one before either. We went the Ironbark colour auto T/D






Rear seats fold away under the foor or can be removed for extra storage

They're a good rig and now is the time to buy a car as the dealers and manufacturers are needing sales.
After all the off topic remarks this 1st reply by D4D hit the nail on the head. I think it seemed to answer the questions asked by Sicilianmama.

Thanks mate the Platinum comes with 12 speakers, everywhere we looked we spotted another one  8)
Willie Nelson might be your vintage  >:D I'm more of a Troy Caser Daley fan

It makes the Cruiser stereo sound like a VB commodore  ;D

Looks Amazing! Especially with the nudge bar, we want one of those too.  Do you know if there is a linker anything that tells you what the Actives have?

Not as far as I know, they technically aren't supposed to be released till next month (July) but the dealer I bought the Platinum from has 3 in stock already. I was told Mitsubishi has released some early so maybe call your dealer to see what options they have.

I know they have sat nav, nudge bar,rear spoiler, privacy tint, 12 speaker stereo plus probably a few other options. I'm not sure if they have auto headlights,auto wipers and floor mats etc like the Platinum does though.
