  Good Truck, Need Improvements - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By anthonyorlando - January 29 - 10:00 am

  The Dealer can no fix the alignment, everytime i bring it in, it will pull to the right or left when they are done, still need alignment to get fixed. Fuel economy is expected to be poor, try to squeeze a lot of horse power out of a small V6, but its ok, peppy. I would have thought after spending 32K on this, I would have auto headlights, and heated side mirros, but these can be improved on. Truck looks cool, great color combo. Seats are really stiff, there are other SUVs around the same price that are more comfortable.

  Depreciation, buyer beware! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By AbnRanger - January 11 - 2:00 am

  Ill never buy another Mitsubishi! I traded into the Montero Sport with around 2K negative equity thinking I could absorb the 2K over time. Boy was I wrong! Ive watched the Montero decline in value below HALF of what I owe. These Montero Sports have little trade-in value...they got me hook-line- and-sinker! I have no out for a trade, I owe over 10K more than the retail value. Ill drive the damn thing till its paid for, then Ill donate it to a military target range!

  underpowered - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By elewsader - January 8 - 3:33 pm

  This car has been overly reliable but utterly boring, weve had this car since new and its rarely had any issues which has been great, but I regret not getting the 3.5 liter as this has no power when you put people in the car, its designed for people under 510 since proper posture for anyone taller requires you to hunch over to see out the windows, you also need to squeeze into the doors, theres not enough cup holders, no ample storage. I know these are popular for off-road use and thats the only thing theyd be good for, its uncomfortable and shouldnt be allowed to transport more than three small adults.

  Great Off-Road Vehicle - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By James - October 15 - 4:46 am

  Although not a power-wagon on the highway, my 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport LS 4WD has been the best off-road vehicle I have ever owned, and the list is long. I have not been able to get this vehicle stuck, and I have driven it into some areas I had no reason being in. I especially enjoy pulling Jeeps out of trouble, then telling them I never shifted into full 4WD. The expressions on the owners faces are priceless.

  One of the best looking SUVs - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By firstforeigncar - October 10 - 10:00 am

  I have recently owned a Escape. In my opinion the best small SUV on the market. Since, the 0% financing incentatives I decided to upgrade my car. I like the looks of the Monterro Sport LTD. It handle the farily nice, noticable slower on take off than the Escape and more of an typical SUV drive feel. Economy is average to a little above average, in comparison to other SUVs. Main suggested improvements are tighter steering and revise the timing of the transmission. Overall so it seems like a nice car.

  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.

  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.

  Junk. Junk. Junk. - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By cjones89 - November 3 - 5:23 am

  84k miles and already having tons of problems. Power steering pump leaking, Valve cover gaskets leaking, Lifters are ticking, Transmission acts strange, and Ive already had to replace pretty much every suspension part and now the AC is going. What next?? and I have always maintained it!! I bought it because the price was right and I love the style of the Montero. I should have bought an xterra or 4runner. I will never buy another Mitsubishi again!!!

  Great SUV - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By keeneking - November 2 - 10:00 am

  This has been a great family SUV. It stores a ton of baby stuff when we head to grandma & grandpas house. 20K now and not one problem. Owned a Mighty Max for 11 years and never had a problem so I would expect nothing less for the Montero Sport.

  Happy with the purchase! - 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By mji - September 28 - 10:00 am

  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.
