 The Mitsubishi Delica is a bit of a wildcard entry


, as it looks like a minivan -- albeit one that's weirdly capable off-road. These odd 4x4s have gained a cult following as great all-terrain campervans, with many owners fitting their Delicas out with beefier tires and lifted suspensions. They were never officially sold in America, but since many of them are now over 25 years old, the first wave of Delica imports has already hit U.S. shores.

Driving one is an unusual experience, as you're sat right over the engine, giving you excellent all-around visibility even if the driving position might take some getting used to. They're not fast, either, since most examples have sluggish-but-reliable engines making either 86 or 140 horsepower. Even 

 quickly before too many other people discover them and the prices go up. Delicas are still relatively rare to come across thanks to their import-only status, but an example sold on Bring a Trailer in December 2022 for $8,400, and it only had 107,000 miles on the odometer.
