I've got a 3.2DID Shogun (Manual) I love it. Its an older model but I have put on the 06 warrior wheels, xenons and tinted the glass.

7 seats, Pulls caravans, boats, cars all with ease. Great for tip runs, kids, removals etc etc. Rear seats fold into the floor so loads of room in the back.

Pulls like a train and is quite quick considering size/weight.

Had it over 2 years now and when I sell I will be looking to replace it with a simalar model.

On my second SWB one now. First one the head gasket went caused by the EGR. The EGR was replaced on a service recall on my second one so look out for that.

They handle really well. Some of the interior fit isnt great but for the money ok. Fake wood trim is fookin shite. A bit of wind noise at higher speeds. Very good for long distance.

They have all the diff locks etc. 2 wheel drive used to be fun but now they have traction control. 4 wheel drive a bit whiny on the road but only needed in bad conditions.

About 340 miles to a tank which is about 60 litres. First one only got 310 miles.

Can be chipped to 180bhp(ish) by the dealer and retain the warranty.

I have the SWB 3.2 AUTO, had dscovery's prior to owing the Mitsi and there is no comparision to the Land Rover, I use it for work and mainly for towing, cant fault it at all, good solid car that handles really well, gives decent fuel ecconomy and loads of torque.

I think most suffer at some stage with the head (that AFAIK) is their only weekness.

I'd certainly buy another.....
