  The Little SUV That Could! - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Montero Limited 4 WD - March 30 - 5:33 pm

  We bought our Mitsubishi Montero Sport new, and it was love at first sight! Its my prissy looking SUV with a work horse engine. I routinely run up and down the Sierra Nevadas to Tahoe and it takes on anything thrown at it. It feels rock solid in the worst snow and ice conditons due to a well made 4WD. It keeps its blissful cool in the warmest summers with its fleible climate control. The huge sunroof lets the stars in at night. I hauled 6 (SIX!) middle school boys in a carpool for 3 years, with 2 in the jump seat. Now that is head room. The dual linkage allows you to control gearshifting making small work of big grades(and V8s!). It fits surfboards to kayaks, kids, dogs and parrots, this SUV thrives under family demands.

  150K+ and still going - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By WH - February 12 - 9:23 am

  I bought my Montero Sport back in October of 2001 with 50 miles on it. As a member of the military, I have taken this SUV as far west as the Pacific Ocean and as far east as the city of Atlanta, GA. Any maintenance Ive had done on the vehicle was all based on wear and tear. Nothing failed until I was well over 100K miles. I love the vehicle and kind of hate that Mitsubishi did away it.

  280+K It just works and works - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport

  Find reliable independant service shop for seals and timing belt service. Dealer in BR is worse than terrible!

  ...A great bargain overall - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By California - December 18 - 12:33 am

  I had a choice: pay a 16k balloon payment to keep my beloved 4-runner (with 96k miles) after its lease was up, or pay another $1500 and get a brand new montero with no miles. To most it would be a no-brainer, but the day I turned in my 4-rnr, my eyes got a little watery. 6 years and 110k mi. Later, I still think fondly of the Toyota, but if you have to "settle" for another Japanese brand, I have to recommend the montero. With the exception of replacing the steering column at 60k (right when the warranty ran out) I have not had any Major problems with this vehicle. Yes, the gas mileage sucks, but this truck is now a valued family member, & Ill miss it when I find a diesel car that suits me.

  Disappointed - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Sue - September 6 - 3:46 pm

  I must say after owning a Honda and a Toyota the quality of the Mitsubishi has been really disappointing. I had the timing belt, front main leak, rear main leak, O2 sensor and Transmission all fail under 65000 miles. I feel that Mitsubishi is a poor product. They suffer from poor customer service, and the book value has a horrible, horrible return when you go to sell it. So I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants longevity.

  Over all I have not had any major repairs on this SUV. I use it for Scuba Diving. It alway has dive gear in it. Its a great truck for camping. I average around 22 mpg.

  We Love Our MS! - 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Jeff - March 19 - 8:43 pm

  We bought this car with 100,000 miles on it and it has been very reliable. We did a major tuneup/timing belt replacement, which cost around $600, but we planned that when we bought it. Its a perfect size for family travels, big enough, but not too big. 4WD is awesome in snow or off road. It looks great and is fun to drive. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.
