A wonderful alternative to boring
minivans, tiny SUV's, V8 SUV hogs.
If this truck proves to be reliable in
the long term it will be one of our
best vehicle purchases.
Great space, great luxury, greater
style. A *true* 3rd row seat in every
way. Styling and luxury of a more
expensive car.

I test drove ALL the SUV's, big and small, BMW, Merc Benz, Honda Pilot
.... This one had the best bang for the buck! I like the dashboard, side
opening rear door, the fold down 3rd seat, leather seats, and leg room.
Living in Phoenix, the car really cools down quickly in the 100 + weather. It
had the best "air" system. Standard is the 4AWD, 2WD,4WD. It doesn't
feel like it will turn over like everyone has been saying. This has enough
space without the feel of "driving your living room". Watch for holdbacks and
discounts on this SUV. I did and got the price I wanted for the Limited..
under 36,000.. including tax!

My finace and I have always oo'd and
ahh'd over this vehicle since the
first time we saw one. Going strickly
on appearances, we didn't think it was
in our price range. After stopping by
the dealership we were suprised at how
affordable it was. We absolutely love
it. Test drove the Trailblazer and no
comparison. The build quality is far
better on the Montero. The interior
materials on the Trailblazer feel
cheap and generic. The V6 on the
Trailblazer is supposedly much more
powerful but you could have fooled me.
I've read the other reviews but see no
reason for a more powerful engine. As
for gas mileage, what do you expect
for a huge SUV???

Lease is ending on my 1998 Landcruiser
and opted to buy a MONTERO lIMITED.
Price of $35,150 before tax with the
preferred package and interest rates of
1.9% for 72 months made this the easy
financial choice. 200 miles and it's a
better riding, quieter, and averaging
better mileage than my Landcruiser.
landcruiser had 28,000 miles on it, two
electrical problems and many others
problems. This Mitsubishi seems to
have a better build quality, more
comfortable, and way more storage with
the disappearing third seat. Time will
tell what type of quality is really
there but for now I would rate it much
higher than a Toyota.

had to have one body panel
replaced...dealer took care of at no
cost. lots of room/comfort. bought a 1
1/2" lift kit so as to not damage body
trim. goes like a demon in the mud!
could use a little more power...but gas
mileage is very good for a vehicle this
size. i would like to see a
supercharger/turbo or a v-8 option.
(mitsubishi is known for their turbos.)
gps would be nice in the compass.

We shopped around for 6 months before
finding this great SUV. The only one
my husband felt comfortable in (most
others didn't give enough head room).
We love everything it does.

Good vehicle but underpowered. The
transmission needs to be quicker in
response time in downshifting

I basically love the exterior, the
interior, the way it drives and not to
forget the worth of money I paid. IIt's
a piece of luxury, sport and class.
I recommend it.

A major reason we bought this vehicle
over the competition is the financing
available. This truck is a great
suburban vehicle. In Minnesota, we
get some slippery roads - I have
started calling our Montero the "Billy
Goat". Even on glare ice, the
traction is phenominal - even in 2
wheel drive. When you slip it into 4
wheel, this thing seems to be able to
tackle anything - we haven't even had
it in 4 wheel with the transfer case
locked.
Road noise is a little high and it
likes to visit gas stations but
otherwise we really like this vehicle.
