  My Second Montero - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Curt - June 17 - 1:03 am

  I searchd for months before I decided on my 2002 Mitsubishi Montero. My 1995 Montie was totaled by a drunk. I was able to get the Limited model which has just enough features for me. I tow with it and use it in the New England snow. I also like that there are not a million of these on the road, at least not in the US.

  Montero Limited - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By L. Sandoval - May 17 - 6:26 pm

  Bought this Montero brand new. Zero mechanical problems to date. Good first time Japanese car owner experience. I would recommend this truck to anybody looking for a good reliable SUV in this category. Truck has not been to the dealer not even once for repairs or under warranty. Third row seat is good enough for the kids and nephews.

  Great SUV - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Betsey and Keith - April 29 - 10:00 am

  We were looking at an Explorer and a Cherokee and the Montero and found this one-year old Montero Limited. We loved driving it, got it for a good price and decided we wanted it. I went from driving a Firebird to this so I am very pleased with the head/leg room. I LOVE the exterior look (one thing I couldnt convince my husband on about the explorer). It has adequate get-up-and-go and manages very nicely. We love it, couldnt ask for a better SUV.

  A Short Review of XLT w/touring package - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero
  By emejia - March 28 - 2:00 am

  Purchased to replace a Toyota T-100. Excellent build quality. V6 3.5 is more than adequate for all reasonable driving, and is extremly quiet and smooth. Handling if fine for a SUV. Very comfortable for 2 adults, 4 children on long road trips.
