3 Years Gone By
The Montero Sport is a very heavy SUV for it's size, which made the larger 3.5L engine very important for light towing. This is the only vehicle I've ever owned that my wife and I are able to use the same seat adjustments, however, in the lowest seat setting, my head is almost to the headliner, a drawback to having a moonroof. After 3 years, the only repair work has been the replacement of the power- antenna, twice. The overall quality of workmanship is outstanding, inside and out.
Love My Montero
I love this SUV. I've taken it on 500 mile plus trips and it's been very comfortable. I tow a small boat with it and experience no loss of power. The Infinity stereo system is really good for a factory install. Security is great with a chip in the key. It couldn't be more reliable. I've had it for six years now and it's never had any problems. I found it handles much better with slightly wider, taller tires. Prior to that, it didn't handle well on wet roads. For an SUV, I can't complain about the mileage. It seems very well made which is good as parts are on the expensive side.
Even Better the Second Time
This is the second Montero Sport I've owned (I traded in a 1997 LS) and the only cause for significant complaint would be the level of sevice received from Mitsubishi Dealerships. The Montero Sport is quiet and rides smooth (for a truck). The "New for 2000" coil spring rear suspension really made the ride quite a bit smoother. In fact I will argue too smooth since I had to add air springs to level out the ride when loaded down for long trips.
