  • After 2 months of shopping around - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero

    Very nice interior. Excellent paint job ( I got a blue montero Ltd.). Huge sunroof. Very comfy front seats. Feets in my garage ( same size as wifes Nissan Maxima) Good sound system. Foog lights work realy good. Good visability. 0-0-0 financing for a year have sealed my deal. I have bought it for $300 over invoice after 2 weeks of negotiating ( however paid $500 for running boards) Good acceleration for SUV (you dont expect it to accelerate like a spots car ... do you?) One more thing - you dont see it on every corner like some of the "cute looking SUVs".

    This vehicle is much bigger and alot nicer than the 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited that I traded in. It has a unibody frame, just like the Jeep,but the interior is roomier and I like the rear seats that are fold-away. I just cant say enough about this vehicle, its fun to drive, luxurious and the exterior body is an eye catcher. It just needs a beefier V6 engine or a V8. But overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and the 0% interest rate is an added bonus.

  • Bimmer and Benz Buyers missed out big - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero

    I waited on this vehicle and it was worth it. My brother-in-law has a Discovery and my brother has a Navigator, both wish they had gotten to the Montero before I did. This is a smooth, capable SUV. I would like to dispute the critics that say it doesnt handle well. If you want to whip around curves and do slalom testing, get a Porsche, leave the Montero to those of us who were looking for a luxury SUV, with distinct styling and superior appointments. And relative to the useless third row. I use it often. True, I have smaller children. But if I wanted a bus I would have bought an Econline.

  • I love my Montero!! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
    By -

    Gas mileage is bound to be an issue with a vehicle this size, so I accept that. I was shopping for yet another minivan when I spotted this beauty at the dealership. I told the salesman,"If this comes with a third seat, Ill take it." Magically a third seat was produced from out of the floor! I piled all my kids inside and drove around town. I was instantly hooked. Ive never had a vehicle that I loved like this: reliable, trouble-free, beautiful, rugged, and accommodating. You cant go wrong!

  • The Best SUV for the money!!! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero

    Nothing like it for less than $40K

  • Test drive - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
    By -

    I just got the Limited for the test drive. I like the way the vehicle looks, but I expected the interior quality to be a little bit better, especially the plastics and the switches on the front doors. I would prefer the spare tire to be stored somewhere else, because it makes the vehicle look a bit too long. The driving was good, acceleration and handling was sufficient. For me this vehicle is a little to big, but at the other hand the gas milage is comparable to my Grand Cherokee with I6 engine.

Very comfortable my wife and kids like the interior sound level and road noise low they all fall a sleep. Love the styling.Love the 3rd row seat that is hidden. lot more cargo space than any other suv. will give more feed back as i drive it more.
