  Mitsubishi Disapointed Me - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Misky - December 31 - 10:00 am

  I loved this vehicle when I first saw it. And that was all that I ever liked about my Mits. Mont. XLS. Out of the dealership... the next day transmission broke and needed a new one.. got jerked around service and finally got a new one... then a week later another transmission.. then CD problems.. mats came undone and noisy. Who designed the drink holder.. "Nice" it covers the stereo completely... "Accidents"... All in all the very worst experince I have ever had with a car.. no wonder they have great incentives.... something to lure new people with! Never will walk past a Mist dealership again...

  Great at first then it goes downhill - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By hc7454 - October 3 - 5:50 am

  First my 4WD stopped working. They had to change several switces to get it working. Then my battery died after only 1 year. Then my security system died. They had to change the entire security system wire to wire. Then my car just wouldnt start. They have replaced the starter which helped but it still has starting issues. Then my Radio stopped picking FM signals. Then 2 months latter my CD player stopped working.

  This has been a great SUV for my family. Very reliable and fun to drive. I wish they would bring back the design.

  Just Okay - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Taxi driver - August 24 - 12:53 am

  I find this Montero Sport to be just okay. It rides rough, even with new tires and alignment. It is very noisy with the back windows down at speeds greater than 35 mph. The V6 engine is ok, but it does not have much power. Also, the back seat doesnt have much room. I bought it for traveling with the kids, but am very disappointed.

  Long Term Montero Sport Report - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By audioguy - May 5 - 9:13 pm

  I got burned on a used minivan and had to quickly trade for something else. Mitsubishi had a large financial incentive on the 02 Montero Sport (which hurt them later on) so I bought one. While my wife can have the luxury and creature comforts in her ride, I use my car to get me where I want to go. And based on that alone, the Montero Sport does that reasonably well. Its basic transportation, nothing more or less. Its ride is OK, nothing spectacular. The interior comfort is OK, nothing spectacular. The engine and tranny are OK, nothing spectacular. Its a gas hog. I wrecked it in 2004 and it was expensive to fix the front end. I hope to get 125,000 miles out of it.

  Good, just not great - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By daveb - January 24 - 10:00 am

  I leased a LTD model in Feb. and so far so good. I think its a solid SUV, but could use an overhaul/upgrade in a few areas, like interior design and center console. I think the engine/transmission are just fine, no complaints there. On the exterior I think its one of the best-looking SUVs out there.

  ** Too Hot - LITERALLY ** - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Fred Dryer - October 25 - 10:00 am

  My 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport is fine. It really is. My problems are with Mitsubishi service and the dealerships. Take a look at CONSUMER REPORTS magazine where they rate the dealers. Mitsubishi finishes dead last! This is very accurate. I have owned many cars in my life and have never been treated as miserably as I have by every Mitsubishi in the Souteast Florida area. Examples of mistreatment are too numerous to mention here. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR IF YOU LIVE IN A WARM CLIMATE. YOU WILL ROAST!

  Hey, its not the best, but its darn good - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Supergecko - July 31 - 10:00 am

  Although Mitsubishi cars have had problems in the past, such as flipping over, i think that it all depends on how u drive. The Montero Sport is one of the best looking SUVs on the road and the awesome interior gadgets are actually useful and awesome! Stering is quick to respond and the brakes are excellent for a big car like this! If u are looking for a good deal, nice looking SUV, and arent too hyped on the safety this SUV is for u!
