  My first SUV - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By AdamB - December 27 - 10:00 am

  I love the look! The Blue/Gold two- tone is very classy, especially with the tan leather interior. Its also is QUIET! I hear virtually no road noise at all, even at highway speeds. The ride is also luxury car soft. I was concerned that I would get a "truck" ride in it, but its actually quite the opposite. The only thing trucklike is the slight "sway" in a turn which comes from being up so high. I have the 3.5 engine, which seems to be adequate - not fast, but not underpowered either. To date I havent had a problem with build quality or reliability, so I give it high marks here too.

  Rugged - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By MZ - November 28 - 10:00 am

  We love this vehicle! Excellent looks, Build construction is phenomenal! We compared the under body of four runners & pathfinder & this is definitely more substantial. Very thick skid plates. Also we measured the rear trailing arms, and this vehicle has the longest which translate to better off- road performance. The 3.5 liter provides good acceleration. This vehicle have lots of neat features.

  Montero Sport - Performance is Fine! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Mr. Hoop - November 14 - 10:00 am

  We checked out reviews on the Montero prior to buying. I seemed to notice two common characteristics: best hwy driver, and most sluggish. We are tickled with the way our Montero rides. As far as performance, you could put a Vette, a Mustang Cobra, and a Viper together, and ONE of them is going to be called the "most sluggish!" If youre a good ole boy who wants to run the mud flaps into the ground back in the holler, than maybe the Montero is not for you! However, if you want a rugged, dependable, family sized, good-looking vehicle that WILL get you from Point A to Point B in an expeditious manner, than the Montero or Montero Sport is a good choice!

  Buy it - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By bigben - August 29 - 2:00 am

  An overall great SUV for the money. recommend the 3.5L engine over the 3.0 L. Smart looking outside and comfortable inside. The gas mileage is not bad, getting 18 MPG overall.

  9.5 years later... - 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Pupule871 - July 16 - 1:26 am

  Purchased new in 1999. It now has 163,000+ miles and is still a good truck. Average 19 mpg. Only problem was a check engine light and O2 sensor. Replaced factory Yokohama tires at 80,000. Currently run BF Goodrich KOs and just about ready for a new set. At about 90,000 put new timing belt, spark plugs and water pump, just for preventive maintenance. Had a problem with the front brakes going out quick, upgraded to a higher quality pad and now get about 20,000-24,000 miles on front pads. Ive only changed the back pads once. The pads are disc front and rear and are extremely easy for do-it-yourself. With minimal tools I can swap out the front pads in less than a hour.

  Dream Car - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By flagators - July 4 - 10:00 am

  I LOVE my Montero Sport!!! I had decided that I would buy myself a M.S. when I graduated in May of 2003 as a college graduation present to myself but with the excellent deals they have had recently went ahead and purchased. I absolutely love it. There is virtually no outside noise, even on the highway, and the power is adequate for my needs. It definitely does not have a "truck feel" and I do quite a bit of driving. I really do enjoy driving now and am the first to volunteer to run errands for the family.

  I have had no problems with this SUV. I took it on a 1600 miles round trip from California to Colorado and back with 3 to 4 passengers continually. It performed very well. Great gas mileage as well on the trip.

  I love my Montero Sport - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By comatt - May 6 - 8:05 pm

  I have had mine for about 3 years, it has 120,000 miles and love it. It has been a great roadtrip vehicle, I have taken it on many 1000+ mile trips and it is comfortable, gas mileage could be better but it performs well. I have had no service issues with it, and have done all the regular maintanence on it. I recently changed the belts to find that the originals were still on it after 11 years of use. The interior holds up well; my leather seats barely show any wear and the buttons and dials all still appear new. This is a great SUV and I intend to run her for many years to come.
