  Problems, problems, and more problems - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By javaman - May 7 - 10:00 am

  I have always had a front-end creaking noise that the dealers could fix/find. Several of the switches have had to be replaced that had stopped working. The servicing dealership (Burlington Mitsubishi) overfilled the automatic transmission with fluid causing it to overheat. At this point I am going to trade it in on a Toyota 4-runner or Sequoia. The resale values are so much better for the Toyotas and their reliability is great (my wife drives a 4-runner). I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone...getting good service seems next to impossible (I have visited 3 separate dealerships for servicing).

  Great Suv for family - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Dad - May 7 - 10:00 am

  Bought a 2000 Montero LS with the 1.9% finance available at the time. The Suv has been great. My family has used it for several vacations (roomy) I think that the 3.0 is good enough. I only wish the gas mileage was better.

  By John Hutchins - April 8 - 10:00 am

  Great vheicle for Alaska. The AWD is wonderful to have for Alaskan roads. Would like more trailer towing power. This is the 5th Montero I have owned.

  Descent for its purpose - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Soldonnissan - April 8 - 10:00 am

  Overall, a good vehicle. Could use more power and get better mileage. Good interior space and standard audio system. Rugged exterior design still looks good after all these years (better than the Endeavor). Bought it for the wife who just loves the looks. Not a bad ride for a truck-on-frame design.

  My Second One - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By vermontergirl - April 3 - 9:43 pm

  Before the two Montero Sports, I drove a Volvo 850. This truck has only needed one minor thing in its 60,000 mile history. Just change the oil and go. One winter (I run studded Nokians), it made it up the last 600 of my very steep driveway with 22" of unplowed snow! It took about four passes, but did it. My driving is split between city and highway. For mileage, I usually get 21 mpg in the summer and slightly less in the winter (studded tires). This is not bad for a big SUV. Of course, if you want to go 75 mph all day you wont get the same results. The 2003s are really AWD all the time (90/10), which probably accounts for the decent gas mileage, and lock into 4HI+LO when needed.

  OverPriced - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Marc Staval;e - March 31 - 10:00 am

  This car is a bit overpriced for what you get. I owned a previous Jeep GC and it had a lot more options for the price. The 0 down, 0 interest 0 payments for 1 yrs got me in but that was it. The car needs the XLS package at the LS price. This is what the other SUVs offer. Not as wide as the others.

  Reliable, 2nd time buyer - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By mickey3145 - March 21 - 11:56 pm

  My daughter is driving my first Montero Sport, 180K miles and still going. We have never had any serious mechanical problems. We have done normal maintenance and it still runs and looks great. My 2003 is the same. I currently have 40K miles and it is great car for my business. I also have an Endeavor and love it!

  Great SUV - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By sa311420 - March 16 - 10:00 am

  I read almost every review on edmunds before buying my montero sport. It is the best car i ever bought. Great engine,seating position, and FUEL ECONOMY!!! i get almost 23mpg. The car is more trucklike than most SUVs, but that is what i love about it. If i wanted a carlike drive, i would have bought a car.

  montero sport 2002 - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By cruzer2k3 - January 27 - 10:00 am

  The Montero Sport 2002 is a strong, dependable vehicle. I liked the interior and exterior of the SUV very much. The one thing that bothered me the most though was the suspensions were a little too much on the soft side, which made the ride somewhat uncomfortable if you were going over bumpy roads. Fuel economy was my next concern, as the Montero can eat up gas like it was air (which is true of many other SUVs aswell). Overall, it is a great off-roading SUV.
