Bought our Monty with about 65K miles, have had only normal servicing done to it. Drives well, plenty of power, tight steering and suspension makes it handle like a car. Very sharp looking vehicle with enough "extras" to keep my wife and I both happy. Excellent stereo. Love the extra storage compartments and rearseat cupholders. HUGE improvement over our '95 4runner. Solid 4x4 performance in the snow and ice, not as top-heavy as other SUVs.
nice vehicle

Hands down, the most beautiful SUV out there! But...horrible gas mileage - We get better with our 2000 Chevy Astro. I like to go from 0-60 ASAP but my Montero will not allow that! Tranny is having problems somewhere between 2nd and 3rd - turn the AC on and you can forget about passing anyone! Body feels very sturdy, like you'd be safe in an accident. Good back seat leg room.
Best car I ever owned

i have owned my sport for about 1.5 years. 3.0L V6 auto trans. this is a good family veh. easy to get daughter in car seat, lots of space in cargo area, vehicle looks great. easy to manuver in tight city areas (UK). driving pos. is great. love those mirrors (big). upgrade to better shock, stereo is lame, more power is needed for city, on hwy going up hills the sport takes'em like a champ. fuel eco. is soso 21hwy. no major problems except changing front brakes, the whole assembly,(pads & rotors) at about 52000 mils. good roadtrip veh/grocery getter. if you find a used one make sure driveshaft seals were done, it was some sort of serv. bulliton.

Very strong overall body built. Nice exterior looks. You would never be afraid to go anywhere with this truck on or off road.You can rely on it's engine not to leave you cold on the road. Good suspension. The downside is the large turning radius. Can't maneuver quickly in a tight parking spot in one approach. The ac needs more time to cool off the interior in hot summer, unlike the Toyotas. Had some frustrating electrical glitches; like the auto lights on (dome light) when I open the pass door side. Alarm failed to arm during very cold winter.
Good midsize SUV

The Mitsubishi Montero Sport is a solid SUV for $10,000 less than the Mercedes and a better truck besides. It burns regular gas. Tows a boat easily with the 3.5L engine in the Limited. Gas mileage decent at 17-21, a little less in winter. One problem with leaking fluid from the front transaxle due to a bad seal, but no other problems at all. None. I have tied huge things to the top luggage rack and drove home no problems. If you want a car, buy the Lexus for 35% more money, but for more of a truck look and feel, this is hard to beat. This is even more comfortable than the Toyota 4Runner I thought about purchasing.
held up well

We have had the Montero Sport for three years now. It has held up well. Great interior, seats, and excellent paint quality. The gold paint looks almost as good as when it was new. Decent power, low wind noise and acceptable ride for a truck-based SUV. The Montero compares favorably to the other vehicles we have recently owned - a Toyota Tundra (poor gas mileage, horrible seats and so-so paint quality) and a Honda Civic (poor paint quality, interior rattles.

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.
Reliable and Sporty Looks

I bought my Montero Sport new. I changed the oil every 5,000 miles and have never had a problem with this truck. I have only changed the tires once and replaced the brake pads. Other than that, it's been a low cost vehicle to drive and it gets about 20 MPG.
Reliable for the Price

We have put over 95,000 on our vehicle since we purchased it. To date, we have not had to replace or repair any major components and it has been extremely reliable. I have found that general maintenance at times tends to be expensive. To replace and access problems requires many labor hours. Its resale values are appear to be low, which is great for buyers but bad for sellers.

I own this vehicle and absolutely love it. I have 73,000 miles on it now. I bought it used and although it does need bearings which seems a bit early considering the mileage I can't complain. It is absolutely the most comfortable car that I have ever owned and I have owned many through the years, including luxury cars. I am 5' 2" and my hubby is 6' 2" and we are both are extremely comfortable driving this vehicle. It gets very good gas mileage, too. I give it an A+++++++ all the way.

Bought in fall of 2000, got the 0-0-0 financing deal (not such a good deal) then went way upside down on the loan vs value. Sold the 88 Suburban after new rear diff., tranny and engine...what a piece of junk! Anyway, the Montero Sport is awesome, rides like a dream, and has been 100% dependable. No repairs after 51,000 miles. MPG has been very good, even towing 16 foot fishing boat. Tranny is a little weird when cold. Only bad experience was when a "quick lube" service accidentally drained a few quarts of tranny fluid, and "forgot" to replace it! The local Mitsu dealer does a much better job on maintenance.
Love my sport

Have a 2000 Sport Limited and love the car. I had after market heated leather seats put in and they are great. Have not had a single performance issue. I tow a 3000 pound boat with a 1300 pound trailer with no problem. Only issue is that it is black and hard to keep clean, but that is black cars for you!!

Dependable, very comfortable, optional 4w drive, lots of storage and a roof rack that'll hold a sofa bed! Riding high, unless you are paying attention you think you're on a luxury car - until you need it to turn into a truck, no blinking.

Bought in 2019 with 170k, pulled out some body dings, basic engine maintainence, new battery and crankshaft pulley bolt. Put 20k on it in 2 years, eats up Alaskas worst backroads and highways. 20 mpg, never an issue. Run down to 30 below zero, no issues. Love it, gas and oil.

Why don't they fix the leak

Our Montero Sport has been a money pit, it has had problems with oil leaks, my mechanic called Mitsubishi who said they have been making the 3.0 ltr. engine for 10 years and this has always been a problem. If they know this, why don't they fix it? The seats will kill you on a long trip, they are extremely uncomfortable. The turning radius is terrible, just to park in a spot at the mall you have to pull in, back up, pull in, back up. I will never own another Mitsubishi
