    Can't say I've heard of any major issues with them either.

    Why do you say that? This is my 6th Mitsi and haven't really had any majors, water pump in a L300 25yrs ago and that's about it...

    5 over the years. Will never have another as long as my arse points to the ground. Last 2 were a sedan and an L200 twin cab Sport. Both purchased new.

    The sedan developed a cracked head at 40k- new head required. Never overheated/run without water. Garage suggested casting flaw.
    Spewed oil out of the main shaft seal at the alternator end (oil everywhere inside engine bay). Did this 3 times despite seal being replaced under warranty.
    Fuel pump seal failed - had just packed up ready for holidays and noticed quantity of oil on garage floor. Had to find a spare during holiday period and replace b4 going away. Kids were very patient.

    In between times the rev counter used to go berserk.

    L200 broke exhaust manifold stud on #4. By the time I detected it there was a large black mark on the firewall. Stud extraction and new gasket.
    Consumed bushes in front end despite being mostly a sealed road use vehicle. Garage said "oh, Mitsis". They recommended and fitted a non Mitsi replacement and I had no further problems.

    I'm cured of the brand now however would say that they now offer one of the longest warranties around so maybe the reliability issues I experienced have now been got on top of or I just had Monday vehicles.
