  Not Happy - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By JVP - June 5 - 2:00 am

  This is the 2nd SUV in two months First had a vibration that 3 different mechanics couldnt find, gave it back Both get poor mpgs 11-15 and I drive normal both have poorly made front seats, spring in my butt. Traded 93 Pathfinder for 2000 Sport should have kept Path w/125,000 miles. Better mpgs and interior made much better.

  Bad buy - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Erica - May 6 - 10:00 am

  Its a pretty SUV, but thats about it. I had problems with the disc brakes and the computer went out within the first 12,000 miles. It lags between second and third gear. Resale value depreciates faster than I can make the payments. Ill never buy another Mitshubishi automobile.

  Great looks, a few problems - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By nebhusker - May 1 - 7:20 am

  I 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.

  Good midsize SUV - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Nicholas - April 15 - 9:13 pm

  The Mitsubishi Montero Sport is a solid SUV for $10,000 less than the Mercedes and a better truck besides. It burns regular gas. Tows a boat easily with the 3.5L engine in the Limited. Gas mileage decent at 17-21, a little less in winter. One problem with leaking fluid from the front transaxle due to a bad seal, but no other problems at all. None. I have tied huge things to the top luggage rack and drove home no problems. If you want a car, buy the Lexus for 35% more money, but for more of a truck look and feel, this is hard to beat. This is even more comfortable than the Toyota 4Runner I thought about purchasing.

  Dont buy for looks - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By DianaB - March 11 - 8:30 am

  I 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!

  Montero LS is Superior - 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By R. Fengler - February 27 - 11:56 am

  Ive owned several SUVs, including two Isuzu Troopers, and an International Scout. While the Troopers were fairly reliable, they had lousy seats, and even after I bought the top of the line seats from a junkyard, the Trooper was still not comfortable and I ended up selling it. I stumbled across this Montero FSBO, and fortunately the woman owner had purchased the aftermarket leather option. It is very comfortable & I have over 115,000 miles with no problems. Plus, Ive been able to get over 19 mpg in town!

  Mitsu Montero Sport 2002 - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By ChrisZ - January 27 - 10:00 am

  The 2002 Montero Sport is a fun vehicle to drive, but the engine is sluggish at times. It seems as thought the 3.0L V6 cannot pull hills. It continually shifts gears searching for the correct gear. Also, there is a constant raddling noise in the front driver and rear passenger wheel. When we took it back to the dealer, they said that it is the normal sound for an SUV. I have had other SUVs and have never heard anything like this.
