Third Montero - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
By RallyRedEvo - December 20 - 5:30 pmJust traded in our 2001 Montero Ltd for a 2005 Montero. This is our third Montero (1992, 2001, 2005) Our other Monteros were so dependable we see no reason to buy anything else. Every year we road trip our vacation and the Monte is an awesome vehicle for traveling; comfortable, spacious, decent fuel mileage and room for a ton of luggage.

Underrated - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
By B H - December 15 - 11:16 pmThis is a true SUV. Seats 7 for sporty issues with kids. Reliable in snow and secure on potholes. Great service from dealer. If you are looking for something country and city without the supper horse power (gets you tickets) this is the real McCoy.

my new Mitsubishi - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
By robert - February 20 - 6:53 amWhen driving my new Montero from Michigan to Florida and back I was able to find a lot of new reasons to like my new SUV. The head rest you can easily lean back on, the 7 disks of music I had loaded, the automatic air control for front and for back. The leather heated seats is awesome in the winter and the sunroof is immense in the summer. The ride is so smooth over the pothole and ruts of northern roads as well as easy over off road conditions. Power everything! All the other joys I have yet to discover.

MONTERO - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
By TRACY - September 8 - 6:06 pmNOT a very powerful engine but just right for the package. Got caught in sleet storm with more than an inch of mire on the ground and did not miss a beat. Is kind of loud on the inside could use more sound technolgy.

Underrated - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
By Bernard Herrera - January 2 - 12:46 pmGet the big bucks for your run. Reliable and robust. No hassle off road and on road. Beautiful for snow, rain and mountain. Fun in NYC buckle roads and streets. Confy for long trips as well as fun. Glad is under rated for it cost less and you get all the luxuries, leather, sunroof, 6 CD, third seat, alloy wheels, roof rack etc.... Have portable DVD and Magellan. Feels and rides safe as to avoid speeding tickets. Has all the power to pull boat and utility open trail. What else...?

Wow! What a bargain! - 2005 Mitsubishi Montero
By john - December 15 - 8:46 pmMy wife has wanted one of these since they changed in 2001. She finally got it and will not even let me drive it, except to do oil change. Very comfortable and responsive.

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