  Good vehicle but underpowered. The transmission needs to be quicker in response time in downshifting

  So far so good. Rides nice and high and handles very well. Very comfortable and very nice interior. Absolutly huge sunroof. A complete monster in the tough Maine snow.

  My Second Montero - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero

  I searchd for months before I decided on my 2002 Mitsubishi Montero. My 1995 Montie was totaled by a drunk. I was able to get the Limited model which has just enough features for me. I tow with it and use it in the New England snow. I also like that there are not a million of these on the road, at least not in the US.

  One of the last real off-road SUVs - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By phonos - October 25 - 2:00 am

  Great off-road, much better handling and confort than my 1986 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburban. Wife even like to drive it. Beat out Land-Cruiser in one Austrailal off-road review

  My first foreign buy - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Todd2 - June 22 - 10:00 am

  Great truck. Would buy again, and really like the rate/incentives thru Mitsu Motors. Distinct style going down the road. Great climate controls cruise and stereo. Needs a little more front leg room. Interior trim on doors and seats coming off and loose. Love the hiding third row seat (dont use it much anyway). Needs a V-8. Oil change is very difficult.

  shoulda had a V8 - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By SS - May 9 - 10:00 am

  Looks - tonka toy look sort of grows on you over time interior - a step above most of the other mid-price suvs. reclining back seats great for kids. 3rd row completely disappears, but only good for very occasiuonal kid use quality - too many issues - broken seals in awd system, breaks that wont release, power- terrible, the reason you ulimately regret the purchase advice - by an MDX or step up to a Land Cruiser
