Should I buy a new Mitsubishi Pajero?

Hello, I would like to know what you think of the Mitsubishi Pajero please. I really like the look of it and wonder would it be reliable. Could you explain what it means when it says the tax on the cost of buying the car is refundable? Would it be ok to use it for normal everyday driving when it's classed as a commercial?

Thanks.
