Peter and Nikki spend time discussing the merits of owning such a huge car. The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is one of the triumvirate of ute-based family SUVs, joining the Ford Everest and the Toyota Fortuner on the rugged end of the spectrum.

The Exceed is the top-of-the-range Pajero Sport but is among the cheapest of any of its competitors while still packing a decent amount of tech - including my beloved Apple CarPlay - and important safety gear such as seven airbags, around-view camera, collision warning and AEB.

I ask whether the low price can cushion the blow of the engine putting out a weedy 133kW to push 2100kg along (but I applaud the eight-speed automatic transmission) while Nikki works out if the Pajero Sport is the answer to the one-car-family's needs.

What we can tell you is that brown is not the Pajero Sport's most flattering colour.

Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.
