  My Favorite SUV - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Dugan - September 3 - 8:26 am

  I love my XLS! Handles great, hardly feel when it shifts. The A/C is outstanding, Im in marching band and after our 4 hour practices in the hot sun, getting in this A/C is great - it gets cold quickly.

  Like It, but Wouldnt Buy One Again - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Dan - August 30 - 1:10 pm

  I traded in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for the Montero because I wanted something bigger that is good in the snow. Overall, I wish I hadnt. The Montero gets good gas mileage and seems to be reliable so far (I have under 70,000 miles). It has an awful turning radius, the A/C doesnt work and this winter my 4WD stopped working when I needed it most. However, I havent put money into it and its very roomy, which is great for trips with lots of luggage. Also, it doesnt hold its value. I like it, but Id go with a Jeep next time.

  46,000 trouble free miles - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By zio - July 21 - 2:13 am

  We bought our Mitsubishi Montero Sport new in 2003 as a 2002 leftover model. We drove several different brands, Nissan, Toyota, even a big Chevy & Ford, and the big Montero. I liked the way this truck drove best. But I do like a "tight" chassis better than a swaying, "unconnected" feeling ride. I got that from the Toyota & big SUVs. Its accelleration is good. We have never had a problem with onramps or passing uphill. And I like the transmission. It downshifts when I want it to, and holds the gear for as long as I want it to (almost reads my mind). I hate automatics that upshift too early. The build quality seems to be top notch, too, almost comparable to our 2002 Honda Odyssey. There are no rattles, odd noises, or anything to complain about.

  Great Quality - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Hotlanta - July 16 - 8:46 pm

  I bought this SUV new. I now have 143,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. Ive owned five SUVs prior to this one and it ranks up there with the 4Runner. I never had any problems and it still looks as good as any SUV on the road.

  very reliable - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By scott.76 - July 4 - 1:16 am

  Its been a very solid vehicle. Not a single mechanical issue. It now has 85,000 miles on it. Some complaints I have are that after about an hour of driving Ive got to get out and stretch my legs. The seat height is too low. Its definitely not a vehicle designed for a tall person. The roof is also quite low. The side steps arent really functional so my seat is wearing because I essentially have to slide in and out. It handles great in the snow and does well off road. My sister bought an 03 Jeep grand Cherokee at the same time we bought our MS. Theyve had nothing but trouble with it. Theres something to be said for the simple design of MS. Not a whole lot of gadgets that can break.

  Much better than Jeep - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By JayKel - June 27 - 2:00 am

  I used to own a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. After over a year, I drove from MI to NJ then the AC failed... then after two years of driving the transmission failed. I did some research and finally have the SUV of my dream. Never failed me.

  Sorry but I have to tell the truth.. - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By friendwithan02 - May 15 - 11:30 pm

  I have to tell the truth about the Montero Sport, its not that great considering the rest of the competition. Power is subpar, mileage fairly poor, build quality average, overpriced, overall just a below average vehicle produced by a below average company. The best thing about the Montero sport is its looks. Id have to concur with Edmunds on just about everything about this SUV.

  Love My Montero - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By desertwitch - April 30 - 2:03 pm

  I love this SUV. Ive taken it on 500 mile plus trips and its been very comfortable. I tow a small boat with it and experience no loss of power. The Infinity stereo system is really good for a factory install. Security is great with a chip in the key. It couldnt be more reliable. Ive had it for six years now and its never had any problems. I found it handles much better with slightly wider, taller tires. Prior to that, it didnt handle well on wet roads. For an SUV, I cant complain about the mileage. It seems very well made which is good as parts are on the expensive side.

  Best buy ever - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Donna - April 12 - 6:53 am

  I purchased this vehicle used in 2005. I have driven it for 5 yrs this month. I have over 134,000 miles and beside tires and a battery (that was my own fault) I had a belt replaced that was worn and the transmission flushed to extent the life of this jewel. I use to buy a new car every couple of years. No more.
