Great looks, a few problems - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
By nebhusker - May 1 - 7:20 amI bought my 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport brand new in 2001. It looks like a million bucks, very rugged and sporty. The power of the 3.5 in the XS model is outstanding, at least compared to many other competitors in this class. This truck doesnt handle particularly well though. It is a bit sloppy in the turns. I have had a problem with uneven tread wear on the tires, with the outside of the front tires really getting worn. The air conditioner is very weak on hot days - you have to put it on full blast just to try and stay somewhat comfortable. Ive also had trouble getting it into 4WD mode early in the winter, if you havent used it during the summer. Overall this is a decent vehicle.

Dont buy for looks - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
By DianaB - March 11 - 8:30 amI really do like my Montero Sport but I had a Nissan Maxima that was 11 years old and Id do anything to get it back now! The gas mileage is horrible. I suppose that it is OK for an SUV, but not good for someone who drove a car that got about 25-30 mpg! Its fun, looks great, reliability is good too!

Will Buy Another Mitsubishi - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
By grlawson - April 27 - 2:00 amWhen we first got the MS there was a oily substance leaking from it. I took it back to the dealership and I havent had a problem since. It was something that had jarred loose during shipment and hey it came from Japan so maybe a few bumps. I love the ride and the kids love being up high. You can be stylish or sporty all in one vehicle. The four wheel drive is great. I lease it and am thinking of buying a new one and keeping it when the lease is up on this one if it continues to be just as great. I have never repeated a make of vehicle and I have had 5 vehicles in 13 years but Mitsubishi is a definite repeat.

Best value I have found - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
By Teclarosa - February 28 - 2:50 pmI could not have found a better deal than the one that I got on my Mitsubishi Montero Sport. Its power lacks a little, but it drives like a well, not like an SUV, and its a small SUV thats easy to park but still has room for my luggage, supplies and a sound system for my gigs. Ive had no major and almost no minor mechanical or electrical problems. The interior is very comfortable, even the seats on the 10-hour vacation drives. HINT: look for a program (rented) model if you can find one in good condition - mine was 1yr old & had 13,000 miles on it for $21,000. My long-time mechanic says it should last me another 6-8 years if I want it to.
