  Nice Look---wish it was a smoother ride! - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero
  By AlisaAnn - July 25 - 10:56 am

  We bought our 2000 Montero used in 2003. I loved the way that it looked, people mistake it for a Land Rover. And it rode very nicely. But over time, the ride has become more rough. I just put new tires on it thinking that would give me a smoother ride, but it really hasnt, and my mechanic cannot find any reason for it to be riding so rough. But I do still love the way that it looks, and we have had no major mechanical problems--the only thing weve done in 2 years, besides the routine maintenance of course, is have the brakes worked on, and replaced the tires. All in all it has been a good car.

  TRADING HER IN - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero
  By 3 YEAR OWNER - April 8 - 2:00 am

  NO PROBLEMS, JUST NORMAL MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. ENJOYING HER STILL BUT HAVE TO TRADE IN FOR NEWER VEHICLE. CUP HOLDERS WELL PLACED BUT CHEAP(MINES BROKE). VERY COMFORTABLE BUT 2ND SEATS ARE UNIQUELY DESIGNED THAT A BABY SEAT FITS WEIRD.

  Soild, yet unrefined - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero
  By City - September 7 - 2:00 am

  Soild vehicle. No high and no lows. Eats brakes due to its weight. Brakes always seem to feel soft. OEM tires are a joke, the Yokahamas make the Montero seem even more top heavy because they dont support the vehicle in turns very well. I upgraded to Goodyear Forteras and it make quite a bit of difference.

  Solid and a "real" SUV - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero
  By PacNWdriver - May 30 - 10:53 pm

  I did a lot of research on this one before buying and it is by far the most reliable aside the Toyota Land Cruiser, just as capable and much more affordable. The track record of the Montero speaks for itself when it comes to reliability. I traded a Land Rover Discovery for it and the Montero is by far a better SUV, inside and out. The 4 wheel drive is similar to LR with the locking differential, but much easier to engage and disengage than the LR. The exterior design of the 2000 year is a unique one-of-a- kind and a cross between the old and new style (2001+). It is still truck like, but is one of the most capable SUVs off road and on. Plenty of light and fresh air from the huge moonroof too.

  Cool & Reliable, but a bit rough. - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero
  By MontyDriver - March 13 - 10:00 am

  This is my fourth car, I used to own a Mountaineer. See comments below. All in all Id recommend it to anyone who wont get hung up on the interior shortcomings or worse-than-average handling. (Or if you want to win an off- road rally.)

  BEST VALUE - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero
  By CChil - May 5 - 12:40 am

  Ive owned many SUVs: Nissan, Toyota, GMC, Isuzu then this one. Its been a great vehicle for me as a single mom offering value, room (7-passenger seating), comfort and excellent reliability. At 160K miles (now remarried) my husband wanted me in something newer, but I would have been glad to keep driving it until it just fell apart. The paint still shines, the interior has held up well considering all that my children put it through. Maintain it and it will love you back. BTW, I didnt trade it in, I couldnt let go and Im not one to get emotional about vehicles.

  Former Montero - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero
  By Trey Lemons - November 23 - 10:00 am

  I had just bought the Montero with the endeavor package from a used dealer to take up to see my fiance for our wedding. While I was driving it around on the freeway I was stuck in the normal Va beach traffic at an exit ramp when a big rig (18 wheeler) came down the hill and ran straight into me from the back. If I was in a smaller vehicle I wouldnt be here saying how wonderful this vehicle is! It is totaled to say the least but I survived with only some stitches and staples. I think this is a great vehicle and Id definitely want another!

  Three Diamonds - still in the rough! - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero
  By endeavor2000 - April 4 - 10:00 am

  Desgined in Australia for the outback, the Montero has come a long way. The Japanese havent learned how to make big vehicles. This is my second Montero in 11 years. The first one lasted 10 years, and my friend still drives it. For the price of this SUV, I admit that there are other SUVs that are better in look, fit and feel. But, I do think the Montero can outlast them with basic maintenance.
