  Not a happy camper - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By snot good - July 5 - 10:00 am

  Looks great but thats about it. Needs a larger engine. A slight fish-tail with wind gust. Cant spend that kind of money for this junk.

  Im sad to see it go! - 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By mia masi - July 2 - 3:10 pm

  I have had this suv for over 4 yrs and with 76000 miles it runs great. With regular oil changes, it has been wonderful to me. We did put the larger tires on it which made it look and feel better. I shop a lot and having that cargo space is great for me (not for my bank account... or my husband). We are now passing her on to a family member, so we will still be able to visit.

  sport - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By pcyh - June 28 - 10:00 am

  The lady of the house loved the styling of this thing, my only issue with her buying any new vehicle was it must be capable of towing our boat of 3,000 plus pounds. So since she loved the styling of this suv, and it would tow this boat better than my ford taurus, i signed for it.

  Reliability Is It - 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Raleigh - June 1 - 8:53 am

  This is my 3rd Mitsubishi. Ive enjoyed all of them. They have all been very reliable. Ive never had any problems with any of them that have been major. The Montero Sport is a under powered but still fun to drive. I love the body style and the feel of the vehicle. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who wanted to look good and have fun.

  Issues - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Todd - May 29 - 1:20 am

  Although I liked my Mitsubishi Montero Sport for the most part, I dont belive it was constructed well. Ive had a large number of problems with this vehicle. Initially it was a little oil leak, which always seem to take a while to fix. After it was repaired, some lifters were getting stuck. After several failed attempts to get this fixed, I ended up getting a new short block. With that repair, they damaged the bolt that one of the tension pulleys is mounted to, causing it to shear off a month or so later. Now I have additionaloil leaks, from the head gasket to the cam plug o-rigns. Other issues include poor shifiting from 3rd to 4th when accelerating quickly.

  Left without a dealer - 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Mike - May 23 - 1:50 pm

  I like my Mitsubishi Montero Sport and did not really expect to get the gas mileage as rated. My first trip to Upstate NY from South Carolina I only got only 16 mpg. The vehicle is great and I like it, but what in the world am I supposed to do for my free oil changes for the first 45,000 miles as well as warranty service when the closest dealer is 35 miles away. Had I had any inclination of this, I would have bought another brand. My local dealer closed 5 months after my purchase. Mitsubishi USAs resoponse is, there is really nothing they can do.

  Glad I made this choice!! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By jkjhooks - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Lovin the Sport. Ive heard all of the bad reviews about the lack of power and the sluggish transmission...hey, if youre looking for a speedster, stop looking for SUVs. There is ample power, and I feel that the steering is sharp. Ive been on some long hauls already with it...4000 miles so far, and I still get enjoyment out of the winding roads.

  Why dont they fix the leak - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By mikenbarb - May 18 - 2:00 am

  Our Montero Sport has been a money pit, it has had problems with oil leaks, my mechanic called Mitsubishi who said they have been making the 3.0 ltr. engine for 10 years and this has always been a problem. If they know this, why dont they fix it? The seats will kill you on a long trip, they are extremely uncomfortable. The turning radius is terrible, just to park in a spot at the mall you have to pull in, back up, pull in, back up. I will never own another Mitsubishi

  Fun SUV, but Gas Mileage is Very Poor! - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By CindyG - April 30 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my 2003 Montero Sport for a couple of months now. So far, I really enjoy driving this vehicle. Its very fun to drive and easy to handle. My only big complaint is the gas mileage; its completely different than the sticker reads for city/highway. I average 10 miles per gallon, and the dealer told me AFTER I bought it that it was a gas-guzzler. Other than that, I like it.
