Anyone got one? Look ok as a small 4x4 van.
They appear only to come with a 2.4 petrol which, if it's the same as the contemporaneous Mitsubishis has ok mpg - 35 on a run?
Not interested in a full camper conversion so that keeps the price down, £11k seems to buy one.
Are they ok on motorway journeys? I watched a yt vid of a photographer with an old delicia using a new one and he seemed to like it.

I don't have one

But they can come either a 2267cc Diesel with 145/148ps, a 170ps 2359cc and a 2.0 petrol with 150ps. The petrol are CVT boxes and diesels seem to be traditional auto.

Prices to import are around 1.4m yen for a 2014 grade 4 with less than 100k kms, down to 400000yen for an early grade 4 with similar miles. Prices are quite varying for this car.

For example, some 2010 grade 3.5's are 200000 yen.

I reckon you'd get a good one for 7k imported.

Thanks for that. There seem to be a couple of places that import them so I'll have a look there initially.
I think all the D5s advertised have the 2.4 engine, no diesels so far.
