2003 Mitsubishi Montero Research & Reviews

Overview & Reviews

Average Score

4.73/5 Average
91 Total Reviews
This Year's Model Updates:

A new grille, front fascia and headlights, designed to provide a "greater sense of luxury," as well as smoother body cladding and dechromed taillights update the Montero. A bigger (3.8 liter) V6 adds some much-needed power to this 4,700-pound SUV.

Pros:
  • High-quality interior materials, sharp interior design, large cargo capacity, excellent off-road capability.
Cons:
  • Serious lack of power compared to rivals, mediocre on-road handling, useless third-row seat.

  • Emissions - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
    By -

    Since we have purchased this vehicle and spent almost 40,000.00 we have a a fowl "egg-like" smell. After numerous tests they are now telling us it is from the fuel and the emission on the truck - and their is nothing they can do - no recalls nothing! It is horrible smelling! Very unhappy with Mitsubishi! Do not buy a Montero, they are happening with the 04s also!

    I traded my 03 Corolla for this Vehicle because of their promo for nurses which availed me of the 0 APR, this has been my dream car eversince! Ive been watching this vehicle slamming its competitors in the rallye drakar-paris race, Not everyone can have this kind of truck separated to the usual designs of most SUVs with its musculine look and superb proven performance!!!!

  • Great Truck - Average Value - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
    By -

    We honestly wouldnt have bought any other SUV. We drove Explorers, Expeditions, GM, Suzuki, Mopar, Nissan, etc. Very smooth ride, you hear the bumps but dont feel them. The best 4wd system out there. I love the true full-time 4wd and the ability to manually select what I want. The interior design is a little puzzling. Poor center console design, no storage, no place for cell phone, horrible cupholders. Resale and residual values are also sore spots.

    I came in and though to my self "It looks like a tank" but when I got in it I though wow its a palace. I havent had it to long but I feel confertable in it and it feels like the truck ajusted to me not the other way around.

    this is my second montero ltd. i just turned in my 2001 - made some sense with the financing deals and i was eager to get the larger engine. the 3.8 is a big difference

  • Very fun car - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
    By -

    I think that this car is a very nice family car. If you are looking for a nice confortable suv which is fun to drive and is a nice family car then this is the car for you. From its infinity sound system to its leather seats(if you choose leather)it is one of the best suvs i have ever drivin.

  • DOS AND DONTS - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
    By -

    This is my first full size Montero, two others before were sports. This vehicle is all around a nicer vehicle with better quality materials used in it. I have the 2003 and I can see it is clear that many poeople reviewing this car as Mitsubishi sales people. I guess you cant weed them out. Nice car but not the right one for me. Mitsubishi was also horrible to deal with through the whole. Had no care that I already had two previous. Never again will I deal with them.

  • Think Twice - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero

    This vehicle is nice but still needs work. Big Sunroof and nice color choices.

  • Trade for this SUV now! - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
    By -

    The interest rate is what drew us into purchasing this. 3.9% APR Simple Interest loan for 72 months! But it is an awesome SUV with off- roading heritage not other makes can claim. It is made in Japan so assembly is tops. Very solid. No annoying creaks from vibrating parts. Very handsome looking.
