  Looks good...Drives well. - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Herculesman - August 30 - 2:00 am

  I did a lot of research before buying this car. Turns out its one of the best decisions ive made. The car handles really well. I was suprised by how well the handling felt when i put it in 4WD in the snow. Plus, it look great on the outside. At times, i feel the pick up could be better (especially when merging onto the highway) but then again, you cant expect any SUV to have the pick up of a sports car. Overall, great car. Would recommend to all my friends.

  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.

  essentially happy with the vehicle. Have had previous SUVs and this by far is the better in the price range. no major problems with the car so far. Feels solid, powers well, and drives almost like a car. My wife enjoys the feel as well.

  my first SUV - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By slow cooker - April 22 - 2:00 am

  The Montero Sport LS is a very good vehicle. It has style, good power with just the standard v-6, and seems quite reliable. Of course, with less than 6000 miles on it so far the reliability hasnt really been challenged yet. My major issues so far are only 2: 1. Exterior finish. Quite delicate. I put a small mark on the door just by touching it lightly with my keys. Later I noticed some other marks under the same door, and Ive no clue how they got there. 2. Handling. On dry roads it drives like a sportscar, but on a wet road its scary. Dont know if its the vechicle itself or maybe the tire design, but I dont like it.

  Depreciation Blues - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By BJack - January 26 - 2:00 am

  No problems to complain about with the vehicle. However I was totally shocked at the rate of depreciation when I decided to refinance to a lower interest rate. I like many others jumped on the zero down, zero payments with zero interest for one year deal with thoughts of refinancing with my credit union when the year was up.To my surprise the vehicle had droped in value by about 10K in only one year. Buyers beware of the snake oil deals, youll pay high interest through the Mits Finance Corp, and if you want to refinance after a year good luck! The key is to pay on it during the free year (which negates the whole advantage)
