Mitsubishi Pajero review (04/07/2012)

AH, THE vicissitudes of life as a motoring hack; one week it’s a BMW M5 and the next you’re back down to earth with a crash in a Mitsubishi Pajero commercial.

Not that I minded driving the Pajero. It’s just that when you go from one extreme to another, it can be a little difficult to get your head around. But having said that, I must point out that there is a stretch of road I particularly like as being an excellent yardstick for the prowess of any motor.

This piece of the Republic’s highway network is at once a fast section of road, but also with a multiplicity of corners and a welter of altitude changes. Just shy of 19km long, it is a good test of any sort of machine.
