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.
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.

Quick Review
Overall, it's a good investment. Do not expect too much from the car since you are not paying a high price on it.
Getting Less Than What You Pay For
The Montero Sport LS is a great SUV to LOOK at. This SUV will bottom out with 4 average adults going 70 mph on the Interstate. It does not have the power in a towing application. Don't believe the salesman! Also, it DOES NOT hold a trade value. Our 1 year old LS trade in value is only $13,000. STAY AWAY FROM this SUV.
Don't buy for looks
I really do like my Montero Sport but I had a Nissan Maxima that was 11 years old and I'd do anything to get it back now! The gas mileage is horrible. I suppose that it is OK for an SUV, but not good for someone who drove a car that got about 25-30 mpg! It's fun, looks great, reliability is good too!
