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!
Love my SUV!

I have had my Mitsubishi Montero Sport for 4 1/2 years and have had a great experience with it. I maintain my vehicle, which helps in keeping maintenance costs down. It is spacious, comfortable, and not boxy. It's a great SUV for the price.

I have had my Montero Sport since it was new. It now has 100,000 miles on it and besides brakes and tires it has never had any problems. I also use mine to tow, and the 3.0L engine was never an issue for me while towing.
Great SUV!

I purchased my Montero Sport with only 27 miles on it and it has just been absolutely wonderful to me! It takes care of me and I most definitely take care of her. It still looks great. I recommend this vehicle to anyone.
Great Quality

I bought this SUV new. I now have 143,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. I've owned five SUVs prior to this one and it ranks up there with the 4Runner. I never had any problems and it still looks as good as any SUV on the road.
Like It, but Wouldn't Buy One Again

I traded in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for the Montero because I wanted something bigger that is good in the snow. Overall, I wish I hadn't. The Montero gets good gas mileage and seems to be reliable so far (I have under 70,000 miles). It has an awful turning radius, the A/C doesn't work and this winter my 4WD stopped working when I needed it most. However, I haven't put money into it and it's very roomy, which is great for trips with lots of luggage. Also, it doesn't hold its value. I like it, but I'd go with a Jeep next time.

I have the beautiful 14K Gold MS LTD. I live in a nice neighborhood where some folks can afford the Lexus & Acura SUV's. Mine looks better and runs just as good for less than half the price! I bought it one year old with 25K but it still looks and runs like new. Never a problem with the vehicle. Friends family and neighbors all love it and compliment it all the time. Like it better than the Pathfinder I had before this vehicle.
I'd buy another

I bought my SUV with 30,000 after reviewing consumer rating and maintenance reports. I made the purchase with only one concern, the maintenance cost. I've maintained the required maint. on schedule and to date I have to say I am very happy with the decision. This is a great vehicle and lot of fun to drive. I currently have over 124,000 mile and the engine, performance and handling are excellent. I have no regrets.
Great SUV

Bought this car used with 36,000 miles 4 years ago. It has been a great car, fun to drive, easy to manuever around. Good in snow, although a little light. Threw in sandbags for better traction last year. Didn't have any issues til the last 10k miles or so, but now have replaced 3 of the 4 O2 sensors, had an oil leak that resulted in replaced valve cover gaskets, and just replaced timing belt. Replaced the shocks at 45000 or so, rode like a different vehicle! Added a 2" OEM lift. I'm sure this is all regular stuff. Still would buy it again if I had the chance. Mileage is about 18 in the city.
Great car for the price!!!!

I think the style of this car stands out over it's competition. I couldn't believe this was the smaller SUV of Mits when I first saw it. I have over 75,000 miles on mine now and it runs like a dream. I did replace brakes and front tires but otherwise it has just been oil changes every 3K and your off. Not 1 single problem with this vehicle.
Great Truck at a Great price

I was sceptical, reading bad reviews about these cars, but I must admit, after a year in the limited, I am very happy with the vehicle. I get great gas mileage for an SUV of its size (22 MPG) and it handles fairly well. Overall, I would defitely buy it again, and I have had a Isuzu Rodeo, a pathfinder and an Xterra before this one. By far the best of them all so far, the pathfinder is a close second, but the ride is best with the Montero Spt. The features of the Pathfinder are better though.

Over all I have not had any major repairs on this SUV. I use it for Scuba Diving. It alway has dive gear in it. It's a great truck for camping. I average around 22 mpg.
Worth it

I got this car over a year ago and it was well worth it. I have put over 40k miles on it. I took it to north and south Carolina, Kentucky, more then once and Missouri and Mississippi never left me on the side of the road. It has 160k and still going.

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!

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.
