  Im 18 and my grandparents recently gave me their 2002 Montero Sport Limited. I must say it rides rough in the back seat but overall its good. it has 180000 miles and they havent done much but replace the radiator. i was 9 or 10 wen they bought it. I love my truck it saves gas, room for my friends and its enough storage for college moving lol

  depriciation - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By DNN - November 27 - 10:00 am

  Good buy for yr money for the mid siz suv, but the car depriciate very fast. I recommend buying it used, better buy for yr money. Overall, its a decent car, but there are few noticed problems with the transmission hualing if engine is not warm enough and slight clicking sound in the engine area.

  So Far So Good - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Satisfied Customer 9 - November 9 - 10:00 am

  I bought the vehicle used at a fair deal. I have had no problems thus far. It rides like a car, very comfortable. Power/performance is noticably lacking but I did not purchase the vehicle to tow anything so it is not something I miss. I have yet to use the 4 wheel drive feature for any length of time. All in all it has been good to me.

  Great Good Looking Car - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By loveshercar - October 26 - 6:06 am

  This car was purchased when my daughter was learning to drive. We liked it so much that we took it on most trips to sporting tournaments, etc. The red color is so pretty going down the road, and we liked the way you could see everything better riding up higher compared to the cars. This cars has been trouble free and we have almost 100K. Nice engine power and ride. My daughter is loving it at college now. It should last her even after that!

  Love it! - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By mpantalo - October 3 - 2:00 am

  Im pleased with the vehicle and know several others who have Montero Sports and delight in them, with no reliability problems. The vehicle handles great, and I came to it from a Miata which has some of the best handling on the road.

  Disappointed - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Sue - September 6 - 3:46 pm

  I must say after owning a Honda and a Toyota the quality of the Mitsubishi has been really disappointing. I had the timing belt, front main leak, rear main leak, O2 sensor and Transmission all fail under 65000 miles. I feel that Mitsubishi is a poor product. They suffer from poor customer service, and the book value has a horrible, horrible return when you go to sell it. So I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants longevity.

  Love This Vehicle - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Mora - September 3 - 12:10 pm

  I own this vehicle and absolutely love it. I have 73,000 miles on it now. I bought it used and although it does need bearings which seems a bit early considering the mileage I cant complain. It is absolutely the most comfortable car that I have ever owned and I have owned many through the years, including luxury cars. I am 5 2" and my hubby is 6 2" and we are both are extremely comfortable driving this vehicle. It gets very good gas mileage, too. I give it an A+++++++ all the way.

  scary to drive - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By disappointed - August 16 - 3:46 pm

  I wish Id listened to the advice another reviewer gave here on edmunds. He said the steering was "squirrely," and he was right! You cant take your eyes off the road for a second--this car will take you right off the road. And the sway in this thing makes my kids sick! No sway bar is available to correct it. Also, because the entire hatchback lifts up, it drips water right on you if its been raining. Then, when you get home, your groceries fall out! I bought this because I liked the way it looked, but dont do it!

  I love this ride! - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By ucprincess2002 - August 14 - 11:41 am

  On 2/28/2015 I purchased an 03 Mitsubishi Montero Sport LS with 124,000 miles on it and one previous owner. I love this SUV because it is stylish but most importantly reliable. My sons father has one and I said if I ever had the chance to purchase another used vehicle this one is it because in it has never given him major problems. The only con is the gas consumption but I will take that any day over what I use to drive. The previous owner took excellent care of this vehicle and I will do the same. Everyone who sees it is surprised at how old it is because it still competes with newer modeled SUVs. It should have never been discontinued.
