2001 Mitsubishi Strada 2.5 turbo diesel from Philippines
Summary:
A balance of power and economy
Faults:
Body rattle noticeable when moving over rough terrain and pot-holes.
Paint is somewhat soft (easily scratched).
General Comments:
Good off-road performance.
Accelerates pretty well, managed to push 160 kph after break-in (15,000 Km).
Stable even at high speeds.
Decent torque as long as the engine revs are kept high (turbo kicks in at about 2000 RPM).
Fuel efficient 2.5 diesel engine.
Somewhat cramped backseat space in the double cab.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The front wheels "wiggle" at speeds between 95 to 115 kph. I have tried wheel balancing, but the problem comes and goes.
