**TOWBAR** **BULLBAR** **BAL OF SERVICE PLAN** **7 SEATER** **4X4** The Pajero Sport's ride quality is akin to what Aladdin's carpet must feel like. Whether you're out on the R44 to Bredasdorp or traversing the worst washed-away dirt roads, the ride is superbly comfortable. Where the Fortuner's steering warranted regular input in town, I didn't feel like I had to make corrections while piloting the Pajero Sport at lower speeds. I should add that the Fortuner felt a little less hefty overall and had less body-roll than the Pajero Sport, and the Fortuner's 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine is somewhat cleaner and quieter than the 2.4 in the Pajero Sport as well. The Pajero Sport may have a lower output, but it doesn't feel slower or less torquey than the Fortuner, though, and performs better in the efficiency stakes — we managed to bring our consumption down to 8.9 litres per 100 km - but it doesn't smell quite as sweet as the Fortuner's Euro 6-compliant engine, however. The 8-speed Aisin gearbox in the Pajero Sport is excellent and keeps the revs low at higher speeds.
