  ...A great bargain overall - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By California - December 18 - 12:33 am

  I had a choice: pay a 16k balloon payment to keep my beloved 4-runner (with 96k miles) after its lease was up, or pay another $1500 and get a brand new montero with no miles. To most it would be a no-brainer, but the day I turned in my 4-rnr, my eyes got a little watery. 6 years and 110k mi. Later, I still think fondly of the Toyota, but if you have to "settle" for another Japanese brand, I have to recommend the montero. With the exception of replacing the steering column at 60k (right when the warranty ran out) I have not had any Major problems with this vehicle. Yes, the gas mileage sucks, but this truck is now a valued family member, & Ill miss it when I find a diesel car that suits me.

  Would not buy another - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Robk11 - November 22 - 10:00 am

  I like the vehicle. I would not buy another though. The resale loss is outragious . Have had a devil of a time trying to keep the chassis aligned . Excessive tire wear. Vehice is top heavy and likes to wander and sway. Could be a danger in high crosswinds. This is two hands on the wheel vehicle. AC system is very poor at slow engine speeds. You are going to get hot in city driving on a hot day. I have had all these issues looked at by the dealer with no fixes.

  Dissapointed - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Krocar - August 20 - 10:13 pm

  I purchased my Montero Sport in Sept. 04, when it only had 14,500 miles on it, with some hesitancey, due to low the mileage because of the year. The dealer assured me that there was no need to worry and showed me a carfax report of the vehicle that was prestine. I now have 31,000 miles and it ALREADY needs a new transmission! It was to-good to be true!Also has very minimal power. the truck looks great, but as the old motto says..."looks can be deceiving".

  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.
