2000 Montero Sport XLS 2WD
This SUV offers a lot more than you would expect. It rides more like a car than a truck, smooth. Power is more than adequate. The handling is great. The styling is wonderful. Very comfortable interior.
Issues
Although I liked my Mitsubishi Montero Sport for the most part, I don't belive it was constructed well. I've had a large number of problems with this vehicle. Initially it was a little oil leak, which always seem to take a while to fix. After it was repaired, some lifters were getting stuck. After several failed attempts to get this fixed, I ended up getting a new short block. With that repair, they damaged the bolt that one of the tension pulleys is mounted to, causing it to shear off a month or so later. Now I have additionaloil leaks, from the head gasket to the cam plug o-rigns. Other issues include poor shifiting from 3rd to 4th when accelerating quickly.

Great vehicle
I looked at several suv's before purchasing, and considered the Eddie Bauer Explorer ($6k more). My Montero has flawless comfort and performance; the only issue i've had is the antenna motor stopped operating after about a year. It's a great looking vehicle, very large cargo space (spare tire is underneat chassis, vs. IN cargo area), great sound system. Fun road trip vehicle. I'd definitely buy one again.
Awsome
This was my first vehicle I bought last year and I'm still paying for it. I'll just say if you need a vehicle made right, go to Asia. Comming close to 60,000 miles it has not failed me yet. Great ride, fun for road trips. People I have driven places have complimented me on its proformance and looks(they wish they had bought it instead of there vehicle). A few months ago I was going to try to trade it in for something with a little better gas mileage but now I would rather keep it and upgrade it if possible. Still, I love it to death and expect to get much more out of it in the comming years.
We love our truck
This SUV has served us from DINK to two kids. It is just now showing one little spot of rust, 8 years later. Repairs have been only minor or upkeep. Just wish it got better mileage
