The smooth brute force of the Evo

[David Wiltshire]

Every summer I get my Lotus out of storage and tax it from its SORN and the Pajero gets parked up and hardly used. Over the last few weeks I have been taking my daughter to school about 10 miles away and after dropping her off I have a good blast home on twisty quiet roads, the Lotus as most people know is a responsive light car that gives plenty of feedback and a joy to drive. The Lotus went back into storage on Monday and I started using the Pajero again on the same trip WOW! the Pajero never fails to impress me driving the same roads back I am doing at least 20-30 MPH (Road Angel reading) more but its the way it does it no drama just a brutal smooth ultra responsive power buzz and that wickedly evil hiss/whistle from the Blitz filter makes me think that even if I was really lucky and my numbers came up I would still keep and use the Pajero if anyone reading this is thinking of buying a Pajero Evo take it from me as a person who owned an M5 in the mid 80's and various other similar cars plus track day hire of supercars to date the Pajero Evo is the best driving experience I've had !

if they made a five door one i would buy one like a shot, unfortunatly you carnt fit 2 adults 3 kids and 2 dogs in an evo and then expect it to tow a 24 foot caravan around the country

Fair point

[joker777]

still if i had a go in one i may decide to sell the wife and kids


id keep the dogs though they are less hassel

Know what you mean I used to live in my house with just my Ridgeback plenty of space no hassle now I have  a wife and 10 year old daughter and I sometimes wonder.

You can easy fit dogs in an Evo 

I live the hassle free existence 

I second all that re the Evo driving experience, especially when you start using sport mode properly.

Gave a mate of mine a lift recently who owns a Boxster, when I floored it, he reckoned the Evo felt just as quick 

What's really interesting is to drive a well known road - ahem ... 'sportingly' within what the car can do comfortably.

Then look down at the speedo !
