  Fingers Crossed - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By keithcitty@sbcglobal - August 12 - 4:06 pm

  We bought a Montero Limited 4 wheel drive in 01 and besides the tire and brake wear weve been very pleased with the overall performance. I was shocked to read the other reviews and plan to keep a close eye on everything mentioned. Also, I did have a slight power problem but after some good fuel treatment it seems to have gone away.

  Love my Monty - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Monty Lover - April 29 - 10:00 am

  Truthfully there are only two minor things that Id say. The engine really doesnt give you enough zing when you want to accelerate hard. And its gas mileage doesnt make me exactly "excited". That said, more power would decrease the gas mileage even more. And while this IS an SUV, I knew what I was getting into when it comes to paying at the pump before I purchased it. Want higher mileage, get a compact!

  Just Love this SUV - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By bohlyn - February 8 - 10:00 am

  I have had this car for almost three years and could not be happier, it is by far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. Having a son that is over 64 it is wonder having a vehicle he can ride in and be comfortable in the rear set. The leg room can only be described as spacious. It has become the favorite car for my tennis team, we can all travel together in comfort without having to take 2 cars. Like I said before, just love this SUV.

  2001 Montero LTD - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Frankfurter - November 29 - 10:00 am

  Next to my old 1969 Porsche 911, and for obviously different reasons, the Montero LTD is maybe the nicest car Ive owned. That comparison includes 3 Toyota 4-Runners - great cars but lacking the creature comforts of the Montero. Apart from a few factory recalls and a failed O2 sensor in the emissions system (ouch) this has run flawlessly for 39,000 miles and carried me comfortably all over south and central Texas where I drive in connection with my job. I have no complaints, a great car. Mitsubishis Diamond Advantage program is the best, my quasi-lease runs out in February 05 and I am keeping this vehicle, just love it.

  24 mpg - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By jjtj - September 2 - 7:10 am

  Purchased car w/64,000 miles.Miles are now 285,000. "I" get 19 mpg in the Mountains and 24 mpg on the highway. Drives soft and very little noise.I did have a problem w/a squeaking out of the front car that Mitsubishi refunded me for. Drives great in the snow. So, good that the one and only time that I did get stuck,the person who helped me out told me that I should put the car on 4 wheel drive. I thought it was on all the time.

  The BEST truck in the snow!! - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By PHISH - June 5 - 11:10 am

  I bought a 2001 Montero in 2005 w/42,000 miles on it. We just traded it in with 84000 miles because we just needed a change. It was the best truck I have ever had. Lots of room, comfortable ride, amazing in the snow, great ground clearance, great on the highway and the 01 seems like its faster than an 05 I recently drove.The only major expensive was the timing belt at 70,000 miles but my ex. warranty picked it up. I would recommend this truck to anyone and would buy it again. If youre in the market for one... Dont let the miles on this truck fool you. I would buy one with 100,000 miles on it in a heartbeat.

  Reliable - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Good Car - November 6 - 1:36 am

  I have had my car 6.5 years and put 135K miles on it. No major problems. In fact I really did not put any money into it until 125K with first tune up. At the same time it did overheat. I put in new water pump and thermostat. Mits paid for a new radiator. It has been cross country a few times and has done well. My model does not have heat/ac vents in back, bad idea when you have kids in the 3rd row. Now for the bad. It is terrible on ice even in 4 wheel drive. I have had it fishtail several times and in full spins twice on the freeway. I got lucky, did not hit anything. If this car was ever going to roll it would have been the last icy spin with a loaded storage container on top of the car.
