TomPaj,

Good choice and yip, add that cruise control, you won't be sorry.
The 30% fuel consumption difference is spot-on with my experience.

The 3.8V6 is the same engine and output in the Gen 3 and 4. Your info on the 150kw is wrong (I think). The official numbers for the Pajeros in SA is 184kw for the 5door and 182kw for the 3door.

Hi Roelf,

I use Car Magazine as my bible - have been subscribing last 35 years (and have kept most of 'em - sad hey!) - that's where I saw the engine outputs which surprised me:
