  montero sport - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By david bomengen - February 6 - 10:00 am

  this is a smooth riding quiet suv.the interior is well laid out. no long reaches for controls. the gas mileage is a little weak (16) miles per gallon but the comfort on long trips more than makes up for it!

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  My Montero Sport - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Anthony Ampudia - March 18 - 4:13 am

  So far the SUV has been very good. I had to replace the front pinion shaft seal on the differential but other than that I have no complaints. It is big enough for my family and powerful enough to tow our camper. The only thing I do not like about it is that both front and rear bumpers are not metal and thus can be easily damaged by other vehicles while parallel parking.

  The Moby - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By lufting - February 20 - 2:00 am

  I wanted a replacement for my Jeep Cherokee Sport. Basic stuff. The Montero Sport ES is indeed pretty basic. No complaint, though. I got what I went after. Its unforunate it has no residual value for those of you expecting to trade on the short term.
