Used 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Consumer Reviews
GEAR UP!!
A great looking SUV with dependability. The acceleration factor is not the best with an automatic transmission, (an additional gear may help that). Gas mileage needs improvement (an additional gear may help that also). The 3.0L GPM is disappointing. The GPM in my Chevy Truck is better.
Unique High Quality SUV
No Problems Excellent So Far. It is truck based will not ride like a car. It's funny that people think trucks should ride like cars!! Love it.

I like the way my MS drives, especially the 4 WD! No major probs. The look is hard to beat! I like how dark the back windows are tinted! My lab loves to ride in the back! child restraint system is a plus! Could have came with better tires!
...A great bargain overall
I had a choice: pay a 16k balloon payment to keep my beloved 4-runner (with 96k miles) after its lease was up, or pay another $1500 and get a brand new montero with no miles. To most it would be a no-brainer, but the day I turned in my 4-rnr, my eyes got a little watery. 6 years and 110k mi. Later, I still think fondly of the Toyota, but if you have to "settle" for another Japanese brand, I have to recommend the montero. With the exception of replacing the steering column at 60k (right when the warranty ran out) I have not had any Major problems with this vehicle. Yes, the gas mileage sucks, but this truck is now a valued family member, & I'll miss it when I find a diesel car that suits me.
My 3.5XS rocks!
I was surprised when I saw the (currently) low 7.2 rating. I've had my MS 2 years now and love it more than ever. I have yet to see another SUV (except for a much more expensive Cadillac Escalade) that I think is sexier or cooler-looking!
