Review
Sure there are lots of SUV's to choose
from, but no other manufacturer offers
the kind of incentive to purchase that
Mitsubishi does. I also like the fact
that there are (currently) relatively
few Montero Sport's on the road (as
opposed to the over-abundance of
Explorer's & Xterra's...yawn).
Additionally, there's plenty of cargo
space & passenger room in the rear.
It's been said before, the power is not
where it needs to be (e,g., the
unacceptable lag time when you press
the accelerator), but other than that,
after four months, I'm still pleased
with my decision.

I bought this car earlier this year and
I love driving it, it is very quiet and
smooth. The looks are exceptional as
well, and the interior is very roomy
(will hold LOTS of cargo, much more
than it appears). The car needs more
power and the gas mileage is very poor,
but if you arent too concerned about
$$$ as compared to the functionality of
an SUV, this one does the trick.

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 SUV's and have never heard
anything like this.

So far so good! It does feel a bit
underpowered even with the 3.5 liter
engine, but I guess I'm not expecting a
race car either. It seems to hold
highway speeds very well and doesn't
bounce you around like some other truck
based SUV's will. To me, it's perfect
for a "mostly on the road" SUV with
it's softer spring rates, etc. (I can't
remember the last time I needed
to "climb over a boulder"). Anyway, I
highly recommend this vehicle to anyone
that isn't chasing billy goats up the
sides of mountains!

As soon as I left the dealership, I've
noticed some issues with my SUV.
Terrible wind noise. After several
complaints and trips to the dealership,
Mitsubishi sent out a rep to inspect my
ride. He adjusted the racks but no
major improvement. Final verdict -
poor vehicle design. Oh, something
else, the transmission is sort of
whack. It jumps before reaching 75 MPH

This has been a great family SUV. It
stores a ton of baby stuff when we
head to grandma & grandpa's
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.

this is a smooth riding quiet suv.the
interior is well laid out. no long
reaches for controls. the gas mileage
is a little weak (16) miles per gallon
but the comfort on long trips more than
makes up for it!
