    I love this car I have owned it a year now and no major issues just had to replaced one wheel bearing due to previous owner neglect. Will get out and go anywhere my buddys Jeep will.

    Purchased my monty a year ago with 190k miles. So far no issues. although I did update some features(Bluetooth radio, kicker speakers, BF Goodrich AT TKO2 tires) this vehicle is a bit under powered but personally it has enough. Ive towed vehicles, dug vehicles out of sand dunes, gone through sand , light mud, fishing. Ive taken my monty in many adventures, not once have I told myself I needed another suv. Shell get you where you need to be. PERIOD.

  • simply the best - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero

    I never thought this SUV was this great, but this car is simply the best. I had eclipse previously, and I didnt have any problem with the car, so I decided to go with mitsu one more time. before buying this suv, I test drove 2003 toyo 4 runner, 2003 nissan pathfinder, and none of them can really match with montero. Engine is powerful enough, and I am not gonna race with this car, so I dont need more power. I love everything about this car.

    The 200HP engine is nonsense. When loaded with seven passengers it does not even accelerate. I am considering trading in for maybe the Isuzu Ascender or anything better.

    Hi folks! These Monteros are really great SUVs! They are very stylish. We put 67K miles on ours without a single problem. Their seats are roomy & it is loaded with features. Some Hondas need tranny work, some Toyota engines have sludge issues, some Nissans need frequent sensors, but we have had Mitsubishis since 1983 & they are so trouble-free. The ride was choppy & unnerving though. Power is adequate if you dont tow, but underpowered a bit if you do. Mitsubishi is under appreciated & they build an outstanding vehicle!
