  Great for off roading & passenger riding too - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Klpm - December 3 - 7:45 pm

  This has been a good running car. Interior comfort is good but 3 row seat is tight for adults but grandkids fit ok. Love the off road capabilities. Have taken it places & have never had to use more than high 4. Gas mileage is not great. Average 15 miles around town. Overall look is a little quirky but there is excellent visability all around with no blind spots. Windows appear slightly larger than other SUVs. Too bad Mitsubishi quick making this model.

  Better Than MY landcruiser - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By bulldogger - September 22 - 10:00 am

  Lease is ending on my 1998 Landcruiser and opted to buy a MONTERO lIMITED. Price of $35,150 before tax with the preferred package and interest rates of 1.9% for 72 months made this the easy financial choice. 200 miles and its a better riding, quieter, and averaging better mileage than my Landcruiser. landcruiser had 28,000 miles on it, two electrical problems and many others problems. This Mitsubishi seems to have a better build quality, more comfortable, and way more storage with the disappearing third seat. Time will tell what type of quality is really there but for now I would rate it much higher than a Toyota.

  Love it - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero

  We were about to throw our hat into the MDX sweepstakes but could not stomach the extra five grand (as well as the yupster appeal) Except for gas mileage, could not have made a better decision. Solid in snow and rain, nice ride, ton of space, very nice interior elements, intuitive gauges, great seats, nice stereo and 0% financing closed the deal. Take a very hard look at look at what you get for the $$ when you compare to Explorer Eddie Bauer and Envoy)

  The Cars Great! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By tnakaji - August 7 - 10:00 am

  Although the motor company itself is in big trouble right now, it does not affect the quality of this car. It has been proven for years of challenges and glorious results in the Paris-Dakkar rally. The cars great!!!

  Loving this truck! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Peter Rosas - July 27 - 6:12 am

  I bought this 2002 Montero Limited with 115,000 miles on it, I have put 2000 miles on it so it now has 117,000 it was well taken care of, carfax didnt have a lot of info on it but inside the glove box there was a lot of info from the previous owner. That was my deciding factor. Its quite on the freeway, it has plenty of power to merge on the freeway, viability is also really good. The seats are comfortable too, and best of all the family is happy, my wife wants to steal it from me. It did have 2 manufacture recalls, one on the headlights and one for the gas tank if the vehicle should roll over. Both fixed by the dealer, I had them check out the suspension, shocks and everything else, they said it was all original but that everything was in perfect working order. A lot of people complain about milage, and I will say its not the best, but Im good with it, especially with gas prices here in Phoenix at 221. for premium. Id buy it again.

  this is a car not a suv! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Terry Pritchard - June 26 - 10:00 am

  Wife had to have this one.She loved its unique style. I must say this has been a great car. What a joy to drive- excellent styling inside with superb comfort. If Consumers says it is so unstable why does it win so many off road races?
