  A quiet, great-looking ride, many perks - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By CABLAW3 - July 27 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car earlier this year and I love driving it, it is very quiet and smooth. The looks are exceptional as well, and the interior is very roomy (will hold LOTS of cargo, much more than it appears). The car needs more power and the gas mileage is very poor, but if you arent too concerned about $$$ as compared to the functionality of an SUV, this one does the trick.

  Very Happy - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By tjklark - July 23 - 10:00 am

  Bought our Monty with about 65K miles, have had only normal servicing done to it. Drives well, plenty of power, tight steering and suspension makes it handle like a car. Very sharp looking vehicle with enough "extras" to keep my wife and I both happy. Excellent stereo. Love the extra storage compartments and rearseat cupholders. HUGE improvement over our 95 4runner. Solid 4x4 performance in the snow and ice, not as top-heavy as other SUVs.

  Do your home work on this one - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By matthewse - July 17 - 10:00 am

  I love my truck but there is one glaring fault. 26K NEW and the resell value has deminished very quickly. Unless you plan on keeping the vehicle for 5 years or for its life you will be upside down in what you owe and what it is worth in six seconds flat even with a reasonable down payment. All in all i enjoy the vehicle but dont feel comfortable with the decision because of the resell value. Do your home work and make sure you will be keeping this for the long haul.

  Mitsubishi Montero Sport XLS 4WD - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Aleksandar Lujic - June 2 - 2:00 am

  Great car, very dependable, it is very strudy in turns, doesnt lean into turns, even though it is an SUV, it behaves like a normal with minor differences. The only downfall is the mpg, compared to other cars very bad, but good compared to other SUVs.

  Excellent value - 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By whtever - April 12 - 7:06 am

  I have had this SUV since new and have loved it. I have towed other cars and trucks with it on trips over 1200 miles on car trailers and never had a problem. The gearing is perfect to make use of horsepower. Gas milage has always been good also. The only problem we have had is wind noise on the drivers side. These SUvs are under valued compared to other mid size SUVs.

  A Lot More Truck - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Bird50 - November 21 - 10:00 am

  Was shopping for a Jeep Liberty and ended up with a Mitz MS LTD for less money and at 0%. Such a deal! Sorry Jeep, you loose.

  Excellent Choice - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By McGee - November 7 - 10:00 am

  Sure there are lots of SUVs to choose from, but no other manufacturer offers the kind of incentive to purchase that Mitsubishi does. I also like the fact that there are (currently) relatively few Montero Sports on the road (as opposed to the over-abundance of Explorers & Xterras...yawn). Additionally, theres plenty of cargo space & passenger room in the rear. Its been said before, the power is not where it needs to be (e,g., the unacceptable lag time when you press the accelerator), but other than that, after four months, Im still pleased with my decision.

  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.
