  92000 miles later - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By combattracker5 - January 4 - 12:56 am

  Outstanding 4WD! My 4th one, will keep this one until the wheels fall off. Unbelieveably reliable and extremely low maintenance costs to date. Has had much off road use and almost all rural highway miles. The newer SUVs are much more energy efficient and comfy, but this is one tough, reliable vehicle. Maybe that is why they are so popular at Ft. Bragg and Ft. Lewis army ranger bases. I have never had a wheel alignment as one has never been needed, even though I drive over logs and rough terrain on my property and on local BLM fishing holes. I am a stickler about doing maintenance ahead of schedule, such as fluids. Back seats fold flat for my 6 foot carcas to sleep when out with the bears.

  Good SUV+ - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By XAVIX - December 23 - 8:43 pm

  I definitely recommend this car to anyone my baby has 112,000 still going strong, the only bad thing is the space if you are big its not very spacious, this is the best SUV for trips and snow

  nice all around suv - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By bronco - December 19 - 7:03 am

  suprisingly a pretty quiet and smooth ride around town. the steering is a bit sloppy on the freeway but not terrible. the looks are a 10. my wife loves it and feels very safe. we purchased the base es model with an upgrade option. the seats are firm but comfy, adn the stadium type seating in the rear is a nice touch. when all is said and done, we are really happy about our purchase.

  Love this car - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Monty Owner - December 12 - 5:06 pm

  Only maintenance that has had to be done is routine, an oil change every 3,000 miles. No other mechanical problems with this car. Its been great for our needs, up to this point. We are looking for new car with 3rd row. Would recommend this car to anyone.

  What a Hot Car - 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By lbritain - November 19 - 2:00 am

  I LOVE my Montero Sport. Bought it new in 1999 and cant bear to part with it. Fun to drive - have never had any mechanical problems in 5 years and 52000 miles. changed brake pads at 35000 miles - no problems - fun and easy to drive. Suspension is a little stiff for a bit more rougher ride but still comfortable. No body problems - 5 years old and still looks brand new.

  Love my SUV! - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By aly - October 29 - 9:30 am

  I have had my Mitsubishi Montero Sport for 4 1/2 years and have had a great experience with it. I maintain my vehicle, which helps in keeping maintenance costs down. It is spacious, comfortable, and not boxy. Its a great SUV for the price.

  Never Again - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By rktex - October 13 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle loses value faster than I have ever experienced. It has a constant tick in the engine due to a flawed lifter design; seats are uncomfortable for any multi-hour trip. Back seats sit at such an angle that they jar your spine on any bumps. Unfortunately it is now really a Chrysler product under the covers, and therefore not reliable or supported after the sale.

  Love my Montero Sport - 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By RECON - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Bought my 99 Montero Sport used with 18,000 miles in late 2000. Truck now has 54,000 miles on it. Have had two minor problems with it. Easy fix by dealer. Did have locks taken off the wheels (saw that one comming!). Drives solid and smooth. Style is great, looks better then most other new SUVs. Use mine off road for hunting. It will go most any where! Love it!

  Poor reviews are not warranted - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Greg - September 14 - 7:00 pm

  We are on our third Montero Sport XLS and have loved every one. We have had no problems running them each 50,000 - 60,000 miles, except the 98 which had a drivers side window defect. We do a lot of highway driving and live in very mountainous/rural Oregon. They have performed well on long road trips and four wheeling on local rough mountain roads and trails. Consumers Report gave them a bad rap because they drove like a truck. Then Mitsubishi modified the suspension and they got a bad rap for riding like a car! It seems like Mitsubishi cannot do much to please that magazine. The materials inside and out are high quality. It has good fit and finish. This is a rig to think about keeping until the wheels fall off.

  Nice SUV! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By gsx050 - August 24 - 10:00 am

  So far so good! It does feel a bit underpowered even with the 3.5 liter engine, but I guess Im not expecting a race car either. It seems to hold highway speeds very well and doesnt bounce you around like some other truck based SUVs will. To me, its perfect for a "mostly on the road" SUV with its softer spring rates, etc. (I cant remember the last time I needed to "climb over a boulder"). Anyway, I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone that isnt chasing billy goats up the sides of mountains!
