  Nice Truck - 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By hernando - August 11 - 5:10 pm

  I had this truck for over 2 yrs. I really like it. I lived in snowy MA and it handles great in the snow and ice. The tires dont seem to have worn much and no brake work yet. I used to commute 45 mi one way, 5 days a week and I find the drivers seat comfy. Not a 10 but, not awful either. The body is sharp looking and black looks great. Ive also installed a hitch and have towed 5k lbs no problem. Gas is ok at around 20-24 mpg on the 3.0L v6. The negatives...stupidly placed cup holders, crappy stock stereo, and the price of parts (a reason to buy American). I have 102k mi on this and have only had the regular mtc done (belts, plugs, etc). Id buy again.

  Mitsubishi-Take a hint from Toyota - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Mitsu_Trekker - May 20 - 10:00 am

  Mitsubishi needs to get with the game. The horsepower is pretty sad. And there is no gas mileage advantage having the V6 3.0. A V8 Toyota Tundra gets the same gas mileage as I do. Also, the brakes squeel and the Mitsubish dealership says its normal. I like the car overal but they definately need some improvements.

  Problems, problems, and more problems - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By javaman - May 7 - 10:00 am

  I have always had a front-end creaking noise that the dealers could fix/find. Several of the switches have had to be replaced that had stopped working. The servicing dealership (Burlington Mitsubishi) overfilled the automatic transmission with fluid causing it to overheat. At this point I am going to trade it in on a Toyota 4-runner or Sequoia. The resale values are so much better for the Toyotas and their reliability is great (my wife drives a 4-runner). I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone...getting good service seems next to impossible (I have visited 3 separate dealerships for servicing).

  OverPriced - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Marc Staval;e - March 31 - 10:00 am

  This car is a bit overpriced for what you get. I owned a previous Jeep GC and it had a lot more options for the price. The 0 down, 0 interest 0 payments for 1 yrs got me in but that was it. The car needs the XLS package at the LS price. This is what the other SUVs offer. Not as wide as the others.

  dont buy one - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By jenlilie - January 13 - 10:00 am

  I think this car is good for someone away at school because you can fit all youre stuff and a friend, but i have a baby not a friend and we are always on are way somewhere and usuall running late. This car is slow there is no kick at all, you cant have someone in the back seat anf fold down the other seat to fit the dog in the back cause its one peice. The inside is very narrow .

  Nice Car, but watch for DEALER TRICKS - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By hav2boys - August 18 - 2:00 am

  We purchased this car under the Mitsubishi 0/0/0 promotion. We were promised zero down. That was true. We were promised zero payments for one year. This was not true. In actuality we only received 6 months no payments. We were promised zero % interest for 1 year. This is not true. We actually received zero financing for five months. We were told that we would be able to refinance this car. Not true. The blue book is so low compared to what is owed no bank will even look twice at it. Be very weary. These deals are only there to help THEM SELL YOU CARS. They dont care about you in the least. TRUST US.

  Bad News - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By al acosta - June 17 - 2:00 am

  The day after i bought the vehicle, it started to make a screatching noise and the front passenger seat began to rattle. i took the vehicle to the service dept and they did not know what was wrong with it. Two engineers from Mits had to respond to the dealership to investigate. The dealer/service dept recently called me and said they need to replace my transmission but the service rep did not sound convincing that was indeed the problem. as far as the seat goes, they replaced the seat rail with a new one and it still is making the noise. I will never buy a Mitsubishi again...

  Short Seats, Bad Trans - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By stinger ray - July 29 - 2:00 am

  Bought my SX for the 0,0,0 deal. It looks great but has been back to the dealer more then any other car I have owned. 6 times for the trans no going in drive alone (and still they wont replace the trans). Seats dont sit high enough or low enough for my comfort. Looking forward to getting rid of this car.

  Issues - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Todd - May 29 - 1:20 am

  Although I liked my Mitsubishi Montero Sport for the most part, I dont belive it was constructed well. Ive had a large number of problems with this vehicle. Initially it was a little oil leak, which always seem to take a while to fix. After it was repaired, some lifters were getting stuck. After several failed attempts to get this fixed, I ended up getting a new short block. With that repair, they damaged the bolt that one of the tension pulleys is mounted to, causing it to shear off a month or so later. Now I have additionaloil leaks, from the head gasket to the cam plug o-rigns. Other issues include poor shifiting from 3rd to 4th when accelerating quickly.
