The Star Wagon: one of the best adventure vehicles ever made…
The US market never gets any of the cool cars!! BUT, now, under the ’25 Year Rule’, the best of the 90’s Japanese cars can be imported into the U.S.! Japan’s bubble economy fueled by technological innovation resulted in some of the COOLEST vehicles with the BEST features. The Mitsubishi Delica Star Wagon is one of those vehicles.
The Star Wagon came with it all. A full 4WD system with selectable low and high transfer case, locking diffs, LSD and even refrigerators and karaoke systems. These features make the Delica the perfect adventure vehicle; whether you’re driving your family of 7 to the slopes or outfitting it as a camper.
The off-road performance and unique aesthetic makes the Deli an absolute DREAM to own. The boxy yet sleek right-hand drive turn heads wherever you go, from downtown Seattle to the off-road trails of Moab. Owning a non-USDM vehicle has its challenges, sure – but thankfully the simple diesel engines are bulletproof and many parts are shared across USDM Mitsubishi models. (Plus, this website has a handy dandy section for figuring out Star Wagon US equivalent part numbers).
The Delica Star Wagon powers through the most rugged terrain and deepest snow. You will always get to your destination… although the small engine means it might take a while…
