Yes, it is a rather tall-standing SUV, so you should expect the inherent flaws of being a bit top heavy and poor gas mileage. I bought my '01 XS used a few years ago and it has been a reliable daily driver without fail. These vehicles were very well made and with proper care will last many years; mine is nearly 15 years old and still looks and drives perfectly.
Short Seats, Bad Trans

Bought my SX for the 0,0,0 deal. It looks great but has been back to the dealer more then any other car I have owned. 6 times for the trans no going in drive alone (and still they won't replace the trans). Seats don't sit high enough or low enough for my comfort. Looking forward to getting rid of this car.

I bought my 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport brand new in 2001. It looks like a million bucks, very rugged and sporty. The power of the 3.5 in the XS model is outstanding, at least compared to many other competitors in this class. This truck doesn't handle particularly well though. It is a bit sloppy in the turns. I have had a problem with uneven tread wear on the tires, with the outside of the front tires really getting worn. The air conditioner is very weak on hot days - you have to put it on full blast just to try and stay somewhat comfortable. I've also had trouble getting it into 4WD mode early in the winter, if you haven't used it during the summer. Overall this is a decent vehicle.
Great Truck

This is a great truck for me. I only wish it had a better payload ability. It doesn't like anything over 500 lbs in the back. Looks tough, but bottoms out easy. Gas mileage is 18.5 in city! and 22 highway. Always has very even tire wear. Tracks like a train.

I am tall and muscular and a former full size Bronco owner (a horror story. Perhaps I was spoiled but the Bronco's almost perfect interior accomodations. My expensive 2001 3.5XS sucks as far as performance, gas mileage AND most importantly interior. There are no real cruise control controls on the steering wheel except the on/off lever which isn't as good as Ford's control system. The driver's seat literally gives me a pain in the behind to the point of being unable to drive for longer than an hour. I am going to dump it because of that pain. It looks great and is very reliable but it's the pain that will cause me to dispose it.
