    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.

  • I love my Montero!! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero

    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!

    Feels the quality of the truck. Great customer service at the dealership and after sales follow up. 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.

    Best full-size SUV in the world!!!

  • Better Than MY landcruiser - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
    By -

    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.

  • The Cars Great! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero

    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!!!

  • this is a car not a suv! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero

    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?

  • A JOY TO DRIVE - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
    By -

    I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD ENJOY DRIVING A CAR SO MUCH...THE ONLY NEGATIVE IVE FOUND IS THAT MY WIFE GETS TO DRIVE IT MORE THAN I DO. GREAT ON ROAD TRIPS AND FUN IN TOWN, THE MOST ENJOYABLE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. A DEFINITE KEEPER FOR YEARS TO COME!!
