Great Purchase
I purchased my SUV new as a lease in 2001. After my lease was up, I decided to purchase the truck. It was the best decision I have made on an automobile. I have kept up with the maintenance since day one. I have not had any problems, except the battery. I currently have 113,000 miles as of today 08/04/09. It only gets about 17mpg city, but besides the gas mileage, I really like my automobile.
Disappointed
I must say after owning a Honda and a Toyota the quality of the Mitsubishi has been really disappointing. I had the timing belt, front main leak, rear main leak, O2 sensor and Transmission all fail under 65000 miles. I feel that Mitsubishi is a poor product. They suffer from poor customer service, and the book value has a horrible, horrible return when you go to sell it. So I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants longevity.

UNCOMFORTABLE!!
Worst vehicle that I have ever owned!! Run's good, but VERY UNCOMFORTABLE to drive!! Arm rest too short, seat too low, window ledge for your left arm too narrow, A/C is undersized,takes forever to get cool, having electricial problems with the interior lights and the lights when you press the keyless entry system. No tape deck, fake roof rack, and no leg room in the back seats when the front seats are all the way back, which they have to be unless you were in the Wizard of Oz as a little person. Lousy resale also - I have 63000 mi. and they only want to give me $8500.00 for it and other than the miles there is nothing wrong with it.
Bad buy
It's a pretty SUV, but that's about it. I had problems with the disc brakes and the computer went out within the first 12,000 miles. It lags between second and third gear. Resale value depreciates faster than I can make the payments. I'll never buy another Mitshubishi automobile.
Dependable, Solid
The Montero Sport is not exciting, exotic or remarkable in any way. But it is reliable, flexible transportation. Check used first because the value plummets, but you'll love not going in for service. Has exceeded expectation.
