Pajero 2.8 (2007 model)

Definitely the most stylish and incredible SUV at this price point. Rubbishing claims that its 'not a true Pajero' all parts and engine is made in Japan and only assembly is done in Chennai. Interiors are near perfection with leather seating, excellent lamps for bright light, car charger with independant laptop charger, illuminated key socket (looks cool), cup holders, toolbox embedded in back door (just in case) with inclusion of altimeter, barometer, inclinometer and outside temperature reading gadgets. Overall interiors compared to old Pajero are many leaps ahead and more than what u need really.

 Exteriors are classy and it has deadly road presence. Off-road capability doesnt even need to be compared or mentioned so ill skip that one.

Overall an incredible SUV that is a status symbol and has the best ride and handling coz the car is heavy (almost 3000 kg) and sticks to the road giving an incredibly comfortably ride eating bumps and potholes. It can easily be handled because of the powerful 2.8 liter engine and gives an awesome feeling while taking a turn. The only thing is at a price of 23 lacs plus interest (if taken on installment) its definitely not a poor mans car but definitely worth the extra money if u can afford it for the experience and reliability of a Pajero.

Most reliable diesel engine.True off-roadability means handling any kind of bad roads & terrain.No Lcd screen or flying ability
