  SO FAR SO GOOD/GREAT - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By woodley - November 28 - 6:06 am

  My whole family has been thrilled with this SUV. The kids love the DVD, my wife likes the visibility, and I enjoy the power and handling. I Owned four Explorers previously, the 93,96,98,& 2000 XLTs, and I didnt know what we were missing. Who knew that my big screen TV brand could top FORD.

  New Owner - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Yvonne - September 22 - 4:23 pm

  I am a new owner and therefore can only tell you about 1,000 miles worth of information. The interior is leather, warm and spacious. I use the SUV for shopping, beach and mini excursions. I have grandchildren, so I need the space. However when alone or with a friend I have all I need. One complaint is about the middle head rest on the back of the middle seat. It blocked my vision. So I removed and wella! So far so good! I LOVE IT!

  Our Third Montero - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By 2003 Evo - April 14 - 4:33 pm

  This is our 3rd Montero (1992, 2001 LTD, 2005) Our experience with the reliability and dependability of our Monteros has been outstanding. Fluid changes and brake pads were the only maintenance we needed to do and we drive at least 18k per year in NE. My advice: Buy one before Mitsubishi stops importing them.

  Extremely satisfied - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Ronald Elzy - February 10 - 9:16 pm

  This vehicle has only required routine maintenance. It has an extremely good ride and is very well equipped. I looked at quite a few "mid sized" SUVs the Mitsubishi has considerably more to offer!

  Montero #2 - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By saundra Anderson - May 12 - 4:13 am

  The Montero handles like a small car with SUV capabilities. It tows 5000 pounds without a problem. Its third seat is a bit cramped for an adult though. I dislike the spare tire on the tailgate because it makes the trailer hitch difficult to access. I plan to purchase Montero #3 soon.

  Gutless - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Dwyson - March 12 - 7:33 am

  The Mitsubishi Montero has no power for towing. Even small trailers are a project. Towing a single axle with 2 small ATVs we get 6 miles to the gallon on the freeway. Tthis truck is fun to drive and great off road, but if you try to tow anything you will be very dissappointed.

  Lovin my Mitzu! - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
  By schaefer - February 13 - 3:56 pm

  I absolutely love the way my SUV looks. I drive around town, carting my 3 girls here and there. There is plenty of room, and I get tons of compliments from males and females. My husband added some sporty wheels which really finished the look. The only complaint I would have is that the side step rail is too thin. It is harder to use than to just hop out on your own. My favorite thing about it would have to be the HUGE sunroof! I just love it, and so do the kids! We cant wait to drive it to Florida this summer.
