  150K+ and still going - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By WH - February 12 - 9:23 am

  I bought my Montero Sport back in October of 2001 with 50 miles on it. As a member of the military, I have taken this SUV as far west as the Pacific Ocean and as far east as the city of Atlanta, GA. Any maintenance Ive had done on the vehicle was all based on wear and tear. Nothing failed until I was well over 100K miles. I love the vehicle and kind of hate that Mitsubishi did away it.

  Wake Up and Drive - 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Timber - January 27 - 10:00 am

  Wanted a stylish, reliable, easy to handle SUV and have really enjoyed driving this car. Even at 4 yrs. old people still ask me if I just bought it... Interior cloth seats are easy keepers and always look good. Have regular oil changes, tire rotations, recommended key service and it runs great. Didnt need new tires until 45,000 miles. Fold down seats allow for hauling oversize items. Love this car.

  Montero XLS - 4WD - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Jarule - January 19 - 10:00 am

  I have experienced some issues with wind noise and the transmission is sort of acting funny. The transmission sort of gives a "kick" when going into high gear. Otherwise, cool SUV.

  Montero XLS - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Jarule - January 19 - 10:00 am

  As soon as I left the dealership, Ive noticed some issues with my SUV. Terrible wind noise. After several complaints and trips to the dealership, Mitsubishi sent out a rep to inspect my ride. He adjusted the racks but no major improvement. Final verdict - poor vehicle design. Oh, something else, the transmission is sort of whack. It jumps before reaching 75 MPH

  Great SUV for the long term - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Sunil Thomas - January 15 - 2:00 am

  I had a 98 Montero, now it has over 180000 miles on it and still going strong, never any major trouble just routine maintenance. I put a lot of miles on my vehicle every year, averaging 30000 miles. I am so impressed with the durability and reliability of my Mitsubishi, I bought another Montero (2003 4WD XLS) last month. I highly recommedend the Montero to anyone.

  By gl956 - January 13 - 9:40 pm

  bought my montero sport with 150,000 five years ago and i was a little bit skeptical but its was pretty cheap compared to all the other MS that were out there.. let me tell you that this truck is amazing.. it now has over 350,000 miles and feels like it can get another 350,000 more! im usually on the road alot traveling about 100 a day. and my mitsu is soo comfortable. my montero has leather interior with wood trimming all around. its a beautiful black (that looks like a sparkle green when hit with the sun) with beige moldings. im absolutely in love with it. i would recommend it to anybody.. oh and ive only had to replace the alternator because of an oil leak it had. (all monteros have it)

  held up well - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By rsr72 - December 27 - 2:00 am

  We have had the Montero Sport for three years now. It has held up well. Great interior, seats, and excellent paint quality. The gold paint looks almost as good as when it was new. Decent power, low wind noise and acceptable ride for a truck-based SUV. The Montero compares favorably to the other vehicles we have recently owned - a Toyota Tundra (poor gas mileage, horrible seats and so-so paint quality) and a Honda Civic (poor paint quality, interior rattles.

  ...A great bargain overall - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By California - December 18 - 12:33 am

  I had a choice: pay a 16k balloon payment to keep my beloved 4-runner (with 96k miles) after its lease was up, or pay another $1500 and get a brand new montero with no miles. To most it would be a no-brainer, but the day I turned in my 4-rnr, my eyes got a little watery. 6 years and 110k mi. Later, I still think fondly of the Toyota, but if you have to "settle" for another Japanese brand, I have to recommend the montero. With the exception of replacing the steering column at 60k (right when the warranty ran out) I have not had any Major problems with this vehicle. Yes, the gas mileage sucks, but this truck is now a valued family member, & Ill miss it when I find a diesel car that suits me.

  3 Years Gone By - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By upshombre - December 15 - 10:00 am

  The Montero Sport is a very heavy SUV for its size, which made the larger 3.5L engine very important for light towing. This is the only vehicle Ive ever owned that my wife and I are able to use the same seat adjustments, however, in the lowest seat setting, my head is almost to the headliner, a drawback to having a moonroof. After 3 years, the only repair work has been the replacement of the power- antenna, twice. The overall quality of workmanship is outstanding, inside and out.
