1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 4 Dr LS 4WD Wagon
Review
I bought this car relatively new (36K), and have never, ever had an issue with it. Lacks the power I need in the mountains, but otherwise on the highway and in town, is perfect. People have told me never to buy a car the first year it's developed, but this may be the best car I will ever own. Reliable, beautiful, spacious, I will drive it until it no longer drives.
Favorite Features
Great design, inside and out. Very spacious!

Review
bought at carmax 4/03 and drove for a year. Completely trouble free. It gets pretty good highway mileage, and acceptable city mileage. Lots of room for everything, and really comfortable. The stereo is great sounding. Love it!
Favorite Features
Room, reliability, comfort, and great driving position.
Suggested Improvements
could use more power, but peppy enough. Great torque!

Review
Bought the car used (35k miles) Drove it for 5 years without any mentionable problems. Spak pluk wire came loose once & electric antanna has an additude. Thought i wanted to trade it for a new car once paid off but couldn't part with my baby. After 132,000 i finally have to. The transmission is starting to go, which i guess is a bad defect, but to me the time to get a more fuel efficient sedan. (still, 17-20 mpg is not bad fro suv) The ride is great. 6'3" with back problems and i can drive it for 9 hrs straight!
Favorite Features
the looks. I got the all black with tire on the back, no other suv like it.
Suggested Improvements
remote locking, Other arrangements of skid plates: requires 9 bolts, 2 sizes to change oil.

Review
I have had this vehicle for a little over two years and it has been excellent, fingers crossed, no major problems to date. I have the oil changed every 3,000 miles,I have it serviced, as recommended, and the only thing I have had to replace is the battery, oh and maybe a bulb!

Review
This is my 3rd Mitsubishi. I've enjoyed all of them. They have all been very reliable. I've never had any problems with any of them that have been major. The Montero Sport is a under powered but still fun to drive. I love the body style and the feel of the vehicle. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who wanted to look good and have fun.
Favorite Features
On dash compass and temperature. Where the 10 disc CD changer is hidden.
Suggested Improvements
Earger Engine: I know that they have a 3.5 liter engine now but I think they can still give it more horses.
