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.

Love My New Montero - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By EdwardTN - August 31 - 2:00 amLooked at lots of SUVs and chose the Montero for all of the standard features that seem to be options on the others...which made the price tag very comparable. I got the XLS with the touring package. I live on a mountain and the Montero performed unbelievably during a recent snowstorm. I literally drove straight up the mountain around stuck cars and trucks as if there was no snow at all. The infinity sound system sounds great and the sunroof is HUGE! I especially like the escaine seating surfaces, whch can best be described as perforated suede. I will update my review, but so far I woould definately recommend this vehicle to anyone.

READ if you wanna know if this is ok - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By nycguy27 - August 8 - 2:00 amThis is my first Mitsubishi product. I love it. Period. Mitsu is infamous for their garbage GALANT and shoddy ECLIPSE. Never had a tipsy moment (read Car and Driver not Consumer Report). The luxury appointments are good. If you like the style...need a 4 wheeler that can ride like a car.....and dont wanna blow your cash on depreciating assets....get this car. I will have this vehicle for countless miles....its RELIABLE and made 100% in JAPAN - which for Mitsu is a good thing.

awesome vehicle - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By madsforu - July 14 - 10:00 amI have had the "Monte Boy" as my wife calls it for 3 full years, picked up the 2001 Limited edition, finished 50000 miles in every possible road condition, snow, desert, mountain, slush, u name it. It has been one great vehicle with no major repairs of problems so far, it stands out as far as looks go , the only thing I feel sad about it is it gets poor review from the so called Automobile experts but the customers always rate it as excellent!

Hands down, the best 4x4 for the money - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By Todd - June 29 - 1:03 pmJust bought a 2003 20th Anniversary Ed. Love it! This thing will get you anywhere and in style too. At a time when luxury SUVs are everywhere, the Montero will still turn heads and boast serious off-road capabilities. All this at half or less than luxury SUVs above its class.

Car-lotta for Fun and Value - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By El Greco - April 2 - 2:00 amGreat all-around SUV,esp.off-road.Ive owned Pajeros/Monteros since 84 in Saudi,China,Europe and USA.Theyre indestructible,provided you follow mfctrs maintenance schedule.I still have my 95 LS,and a new03 Ltd.The new one has a better engine/overall performance/comfort.However,it also has a useless side-board,puny horn,and,as the old one,not-exactly- useful 3rd row seats(at least they can disappear!).

2003 Montero Limited - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By the potts - March 16 - 7:10 pmWe are so pleased with this vehicle, had to share the experience for future buyers contemplating the Montero. Jeep Cherokee and Infinitis were our comparison vehicles before finding the Montero. Once we drove the Montero, the others paled in comparison both in price and style. Third row seating is a super feature and used more than we would have expected. No lack of power and the shift of gears in auto mode is remarkably smooth.

What a ride - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By Dano - March 14 - 1:00 pmI just purchased a 2003 Montero XLS with 81,000 miles and it run like new. This truck has great power and passenger room. My kids love the big sun roof and I love the interior and exterior styling. I have always wanted this truck.

Sturdy SUV - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero
By Chuck - November 5 - 2:00 amI sold my 89 with 197,000 to a salesman. For the $ I think the ML series should be a comparable truck as well. I got a blk/blk leather fully loaded for under 40k (well under). It has a new 3.8l engine not the 3.5 that came in the 02s. The truck has plenty of pick-up. With all the standard equipment I ruled out the ML and QX4 easily. Everyone loves it.
