So, i bought a Pajero

Tom,  How much harder is it to drive a RHD during rush hour...ie making left had turns at intersection with some on coming traffic making a left hand turn?  

What about dotted single passing lanes in the highway?

I'm having a hard time convicing the wife with RHD cars.

Thanks,

Joel,
In the Pajero you are higher up. Typically at intersections they are not a problem unless its that odd time that a BIG truck is opposite you turning left.
i have not experienced a problem yet. i will let you know about the car after i have driven it for the week.
2 lane highways? i do not know yet but my thinking is that as i approach a slow moving vehicle i will already have cleared the passing zone (just like we do in a LHD car) The odd chance that i am right behind and do not have a trusted passenger with me than i can
a/ drop back to see ahead (if no one behind me)
b/ if someone is behind me, let them pass and i will jump in behind them to pass or get back in my lane.

i think for the minor inconveniences that it may occur are well worth buying a car worth 20,000 + for a fraction of the price.

No, BUT Mitsubishi makes a 4x4 Diesel Minivan!!! It has 4 captains chairs that rotate to face eachother and a 3rd row of 3 seats.
Check out this one!
