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.

  My Fourth Montero - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By markatz - February 28 - 2:00 am

  I have had 4 Monteros, the last one is a 2003 Limited. I have never had any work done except oil and filters. Two warranty recalls done while I waited. We drive on the road 6,000 miles yearly and leave our Cadillac CTS at home. A great road car.

  Off-road champ that goes to the Opera - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By East bay area owner - January 6 - 8:20 pm

  The Mitsubishi Montero is an awesome off-road vehicle! I went to Hollister Hills SVRA and owned it! It beat all of the other trucks out there. I washed it up and went to San Francisco to blend in with all the snobby folks out there.

  2003 Ltd 20th Anniversary Montero - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Mainer - November 30 - 1:10 pm

  We purchased our 2003 Ltd 20th Anniversary Montero used and absolutely love it. We live in Maine and it dealt with the 100+ inches of snow we got this winter beautifully. I cant believe the "experts" only rate it at a 5.6. It has a lot power and drives and looks great. It is always being favorably commented on by others. We test drove Envoys, Trailblazers, etc. and they couldnt compare to the room and build quality of the Montero. It has a ton of cargo room and the third row seating option is great for short distance dinner trips with 2 other couples. We couldnt be more pleased with our Montero and for 10-15K less than our friends Lexus, its a steal. Even the Lexus owner agrees!

  Steering is my only complaint. Seems a little spongy on the highway.

  A Good Choice - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By corcione - April 30 - 2:00 am

  Powerful and sturdy. The heavy weight and wide track keeps the vehical glued to the road. Rear spare tire sticks out further than the bumper, which makes it vulnerable to even a slow 5 to 10 MPH bumper bash. This vulnerability could cause major damage to the rear door even at slow speeds. Over all a great choice. However, all SUVs are over priced and that is the fault of customer demand. If customers were not willing to the pay big bucks, then prices would be lower.

  Head Turner - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Gino 3 - March 9 - 8:30 pm

  I have had a Montero Limited for 5 yrs and I love it. I actually preferred my montero over my Dads Hummer H2 when he asked me which one I would prefer to have. I love the interiors quality and comfort. It does great off-roading with a rock solid frame. Has a good take off for an SUV of its size. Everywhere I go it always turns head and people are always asking what kinda of car it is and most even think its an 08 or 09 model. Great sound system for being stock, I wish it would have the fourth generations 650 watt Rockford Fosgate system with a 10" sub with 12 speakers and 240hp MIVEC engine though, but it will do. I would never choose any other SUV over my Montero besides the H1 alpha.

  2003 Monty (bought used) - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
  By markt - February 28 - 9:36 pm

  recently purchased used 03 monty ltd and love it. looked at all and kept coming back (i also own a 95 monty). you should know that the land cruiser, range rover, and monty were made to be suvs. all others are built on truck (sequoia, yukon, explorer) or van chasis (pilot, highlander). if you want a true suv and cash left over, consider the montero, its tough but still drives like a "true" suv should. outstanding 4 wheel drive system--have 4 settings to choose from and can drive in 2wd until i need 4wd. this saves fuel comsumption. dont know why the "experts" are down on the monty, has plenty of power and is very reliable (only tires, brakes, etc., on my 95).
