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

Best kept secret - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By Limited Owner - October 13 - 5:13 amBefore you buy an SUV you should drive the Mitsubishi Montero Limited. Big dealer discounts make this vehicle a bargain. Lots of style and attitude, plus a responsive drive train.

merry christmas - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By blkdog - August 26 - 2:00 amI reasearched suvs for ayear or so. I always came back to the montero. In terms of price and size, and style, and the stares you get this is the best suv on the planet. who cares about going fast. The v-6 is adequate for me to get from point a to b.all the large suv are expensive compared to what i got on the limited. you dont need any props with the monty. it is already packaged. would buy another one. signed enough research! just do it

Will miss Monteros - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By DWHOUSES - March 3 - 11:33 pmThis is my 4th Montero. I take them to about 150,000 miles & get another one. They are bulletproof, luxurious, reasonably economical (I get a solid 18 MPG) and distinctive looking. I will be ready for another in 2008 and am devasted that they arent made any more. I cant think of any other SUV that provided the space, quality, comfort and style for anywhere near the price. Its a LandCruiser for 2/3rds the price.

Love my limited montero - great for moms - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By lxc - January 31 - 10:00 amI really appreciate that I can stow the rear seat under the floor and gain that cargo space And I love being able to expand seating capacity so easy. I totally disagree that the rear seat is useless My kids love it Lets face it Im not going to drive cross country with an adult back there but who would The seats flip very easily to get the kids in and out Its great on the highway and around town And its not so big that I need a flagger to get me into a parking space Its great for lugging the kids their stuff and friends around and looks great not the mother ship (aka minivan) and its not like driving a grayhound (Giant SUV)

Monty Number 3 - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By Winston - January 11 - 6:13 pmIt is funny how Montero owners tend to be fanatics about their trucks. It is also strange when reading complaints from "experts." Anyway, I love this truck. Not too big, not too small, Beautifull Interior, awesome stereo. Enough power for me. True truck but still has a great ride because of unibody construction and 4 wheel independant construction. Overpriced when new, unless you get a big discount. Funny thing, like the other reviewer I have 95 which has been incredibley reliable and is a big reason why I purchased a new one.

Fun to Drive - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By Stephen R - August 6 - 10:00 amThis has been my first SUVs and after lookng at several this one suited my needs in terms of having a good amount of space and not spending the money for an Escalade or Navigator. It is a very comftorable ride and isnt as bad on gas as some other larger SUVs. I am a little dissapointed in the overall handling for highway driving and I think they could improve the 3rd row seating.

Best SUV yet! - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By Clara - June 19 - 2:00 amThis is my 2nd Montero Limited and will keep buying as long as they are made! The comfortable, quiet ride, great turning radius, and dependability are wonderful. Dont believe any negative reviews. Great cargo space and seats 7 people very comfortably. The quality is better than you will find in any upscale SUV.
