  Very comfortable yet rugged vehicle - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By rs_rogers - April 6 - 10:00 am

  Had this truck for 16 months and can say that I really have no big complaint. I am very pleased with it. Extremely comfortable and capable for city and highway driving - as well as the roughest backcountry you can find. Seems like a very solid, safe vehicle. Very tight turning radius and easy to park.

  Love my Montero - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By hunterd - March 14 - 10:00 am

  We are very happy with our choice of the Montero. It handles great on the highway as well as on the dirt road (that includes mud holes). This car have taken us to the places not many other SUVs will be able to get to. This is a true Off-road capable vehicle. Just having a vehicle like this makes you want to take it into the wilderness. At the same time the styling and comfort are top of the line. Driving it in the city makes one feel like a million bucks :)

  Best SUV Ive ever owned - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By RobDel - March 2 - 4:50 pm

  This has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. I bought it with 52000 miles on it and it now has 122000 miles with out any major or minor repairs. Vehicle rides great, fun to drive, gets good gas mileage and is an all around great SUV. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. In fact I will buy another one when I wear this one out.

  No surprise why named KING OF OFFROAD - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By bigk - December 8 - 10:16 pm

  The ride is so luxurious almost non-SUV like. The quality of material used is superior to all other vehicles in its class. For the price you will be happier than the Acura, Lexus RL300 and by all means happier than pathfinder, 4runner, explorer.... Test drive one for yourself and see the difference. I bought it on great reviews. Countries like Australia and China use this as their offroad vehicle of choice.

  real 4x4 - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Bob TN - August 25 - 9:30 pm

  Forget jeeps or land rovers, the Montero is better offroad than any car Ive ever been in. The 3.5L engine coupled with its five speed auto gets 0-60 in 7 to 8 seconds. I have never had one single issue with it in 95,000 miles. great truck, with ultra low axle ratio, my Montero can light up tires in 2wd but only hovers around 12 and 16 mpg

  The best - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By THE BEST - July 4 - 4:00 pm

  At time of purchase we lived at 3800 feet in a ski resort and operated an inn. This vehicle served all purposes very well. In 42,972 miles I used 2529 gallons of 87 octane gasoline. That figures almost 17 mpg overall. Large moon roof was super for photography standing in rear seat area.

  Great Vehicle - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Alex50 - August 18 - 2:00 am

  Excellent vehicle, no problems whatsoever, gets 19MPG most times which is great ( 21Hwy, 17In-town) excellent spac3e utilization and comfort, wish it had more power so it could be more fun to drive, but you compromise the excellent fuel economy, Not a me too SUV as the style is distinctive.

  Rompn Monty - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Rompn Monty - July 29 - 2:00 am

  After 36k miles and 1.5 years of ownership, all I can say is that I am glad I chose the Montero. The dealer did replace the moulding on the drivers side passenger door (the drivers door was pinching the moulding). The brakes have a tendancy to "glaze" after 6k miles. When the brakes are clean, this thing can stop like it ran over super glue. An inherent problem with every Monty (new body) is that there is a whirle/rattle sound from under the car when you are stopped and the car is in park. The dealer thought it was a rock guard. It turns out that it was some pulley tension mechanism in the engine that they are going to replace.
