  Descent for its purpose - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Soldonnissan - April 8 - 10:00 am

  Overall, a good vehicle. Could use more power and get better mileage. Good interior space and standard audio system. Rugged exterior design still looks good after all these years (better than the Endeavor). Bought it for the wife who just loves the looks. Not a bad ride for a truck-on-frame design.

  My Second One - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By vermontergirl - April 3 - 9:43 pm

  Before the two Montero Sports, I drove a Volvo 850. This truck has only needed one minor thing in its 60,000 mile history. Just change the oil and go. One winter (I run studded Nokians), it made it up the last 600 of my very steep driveway with 22" of unplowed snow! It took about four passes, but did it. My driving is split between city and highway. For mileage, I usually get 21 mpg in the summer and slightly less in the winter (studded tires). This is not bad for a big SUV. Of course, if you want to go 75 mph all day you wont get the same results. The 2003s are really AWD all the time (90/10), which probably accounts for the decent gas mileage, and lock into 4HI+LO when needed.

  Reliable, 2nd time buyer - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By mickey3145 - March 21 - 11:56 pm

  My daughter is driving my first Montero Sport, 180K miles and still going. We have never had any serious mechanical problems. We have done normal maintenance and it still runs and looks great. My 2003 is the same. I currently have 40K miles and it is great car for my business. I also have an Endeavor and love it!

  Poor reviews are not warranted - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Greg - September 14 - 7:00 pm

  We are on our third Montero Sport XLS and have loved every one. We have had no problems running them each 50,000 - 60,000 miles, except the 98 which had a drivers side window defect. We do a lot of highway driving and live in very mountainous/rural Oregon. They have performed well on long road trips and four wheeling on local rough mountain roads and trails. Consumers Report gave them a bad rap because they drove like a truck. Then Mitsubishi modified the suspension and they got a bad rap for riding like a car! It seems like Mitsubishi cannot do much to please that magazine. The materials inside and out are high quality. It has good fit and finish. This is a rig to think about keeping until the wheels fall off.

  By simeon - August 12 - 10:00 am

  i have had the SUV almost 1 month and i am finding the montero sport just as easy to drive as my wifes car, but with better outside view of the road, even better then the minivan that we had.

  Too bad its overlooked - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Charlie B - March 30 - 2:00 am

  So far I have really been more than satisfied owning this vehicle. It handles well and is comfortable. I like its distinctive looks. Iread many reviews while doing my research and I find that it exceeds all expectations. I will certainly look to Mitsubishi for future purchases.

  Great SUV...the only caveat - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By rerg - August 18 - 2:00 am

  I love the vehicle...the only caveat is that the automatic transmission really needs another gear (5th) as the engine rpms run about 3000 at 60 mph...might account for the lower than expected gas mileage. Otherwise, its a real pleasure to drive...very stable and strong feeling vehicle. A total wiz on snow/ice covered roads!

  Nice Car, but watch for DEALER TRICKS - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By hav2boys - August 18 - 2:00 am

  We purchased this car under the Mitsubishi 0/0/0 promotion. We were promised zero down. That was true. We were promised zero payments for one year. This was not true. In actuality we only received 6 months no payments. We were promised zero % interest for 1 year. This is not true. We actually received zero financing for five months. We were told that we would be able to refinance this car. Not true. The blue book is so low compared to what is owed no bank will even look twice at it. Be very weary. These deals are only there to help THEM SELL YOU CARS. They dont care about you in the least. TRUST US.
