  The best SUV out there - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Adrian - August 13 - 10:43 pm

  My dad had purchased this Montero Limited in silver and it was fully loaded with all the options. He really enjoys driving this car because it was his favorite car when he did his research. For me I love this SUV. If Mitsubishi would add a V8 then the gas mileage would be much worse. But since its a V6 you can actually add parts to the engine to make it faster. The best thing about this Montero is the moonroof it has. Its very big and stylish. You can also add stepbars to make it better looking and much easier to get in. No problems. Mitsubishi did a nice job on the Montero. But the 2003 and newer look uglier now. Also you can and I recommend install an alarm with car starter.

  Love It More Every Day! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By monterofamily - July 31 - 10:00 am

  A wonderful alternative to boring minivans, tiny SUVs, V8 SUV hogs. If this truck proves to be reliable in the long term it will be one of our best vehicle purchases. Great space, great luxury, greater style. A *true* 3rd row seat in every way. Styling and luxury of a more expensive car.

  Who would have thought? - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By JGandHJ - June 19 - 10:00 am

  My finace and I have always ood and ahhd over this vehicle since the first time we saw one. Going strickly on appearances, we didnt think it was in our price range. After stopping by the dealership we were suprised at how affordable it was. We absolutely love it. Test drove the Trailblazer and no comparison. The build quality is far better on the Montero. The interior materials on the Trailblazer feel cheap and generic. The V6 on the Trailblazer is supposedly much more powerful but you could have fooled me. Ive read the other reviews but see no reason for a more powerful engine. As for gas mileage, what do you expect for a huge SUV???

  We shopped around for 6 months before finding this great SUV. The only one my husband felt comfortable in (most others didnt give enough head room). We love everything it does.

  Karate Moms dream - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By MN Mike - February 10 - 10:00 am

  A major reason we bought this vehicle over the competition is the financing available. This truck is a great suburban vehicle. In Minnesota, we get some slippery roads - I have started calling our Montero the "Billy Goat". Even on glare ice, the traction is phenominal - even in 2 wheel drive. When you slip it into 4 wheel, this thing seems to be able to tackle anything - we havent even had it in 4 wheel with the transfer case locked. Road noise is a little high and it likes to visit gas stations but otherwise we really like this vehicle.

  Dependability - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By ray - August 12 - 10:26 pm

  I love this vehicle. I have 167,000 miles on this vehicle. The only money spent was on general maintenance items. No break downs or repairs. The timing belt is supposed to be changed every 60,000 miles, but I changed after 90,000 miles and only once thus far.I change oil every 6,000 miles. it does seem to take about a quart of oil every 2,000 miles.I purchased this vehicle with 27,000 miles on it.
