Apologies if missed, but why not buy from closer to Lampang (or even CM) for future servicing and the like?
No prob. They gave us a ton of show perks locking one in that day plus knocked off 100k baht for show Promo. After my wife negotiated more later. I tried like hell to get them to throw in the Aero body kit I wanted but they wouldn't. They did knock 35% off the price which I took and they will install it after it arrives.
^ Nice
^ and plastic drink container 1/3 full of melted ice sat in plastic carry bag with straw poking out the top.
Pros
quite good looking from the front.
Cons
absolutely hideous from the rear. Hit every branch of the Ugly Tree on the way down.
Ditto the rear quarters from the side.
IMHO....
While looks are always in the eye of individual, I wouldn't call anything on the Pajero "Hideous". That said, I think the back is rather bland but is significantly improved with an aero kit. The side view is not bad. Body lines are clean. Overall if it was lowered a few inches it would look really nice. I am not fond of any SUV with huge tire to body gap. But then, that's me.
Another road trip update. We drove back from Lampang to BKK today. It was an easy effortless and relaxing drive. I will say when my wife drove she wanted to try all the feature bell and whistles. Lord, that stuff would drive me nuts. It chimes, rings and controls your distance, front avoidance was silly. You set cruise control and then you get within a few car lengths of another car and it starts to brake. At a stop light when those flower, peanut, doughnut sellers walk up a bells starts ringing as they get to close.
What scares me about all this technology is people will become dependent on it and make bad drivers even worse like the tools in the Tesla.
Should be an interesting planet in a few years when cars fly...
Well while I enjoy the driving experience for what it is, I don't find myself searching out shop windows to admire the reflection. The Pajero Sport is just not a looker. The front and rear are both overdone and gaudy - in my opinion. I'm not convinced a body kit brings anything aesthetic to the occasion - unless it is the full Burkha. ...... These things are subjective though, I personally dislike the wheel arch/tyre gap on a performance car, but appreciate the functionality of suspension travel and clearance on a vehicle with off-road pretences. [Hence a lift kit on my Vigo]. A slammed SUV just looks wrong. Or East LA.
Suspect your missus would prefer a suzuki swift.
Yup, turned all the stuff off in my Camry also it becomes a major distraction and pain in the arse after a certain point.Originally Posted by JPPR2
When I first got it the collision detection / avoidance system rather ironically almost caused me to crash it. Fecking thing kicked in and left me dead-stopped in the inside lane of a highway.
^ It picks up the motorcy going slow on the track inside the white line as well. Have to turn it off for that reason.
It is an off-roader though and pretty okay with it, but won't pull a plough in the paddy...
Wife's choice, I don't care about looks as long as it does the job.
